@ABitRusty @JohnG @markk @ELCBKK  Thanks, all!  A little tricky to play this Carraroe--pretty sure I used slurs in the wrong places

@ABitRusty 

I found this duet version of I Saw Three Ships by someone on Youtube who goes by the name peakfiddler. His version is in G (which I think I like better), but I transposed it to D to match The Carraroe.

I've attached a copy of the transposed version in D that I did.

@ELCBKK 

I usually use Musescore as a click track to record both parts.  I sometimes don’t use a click track, and just play & record the 1^st part, then listen to the first part as I play & record the second part (most recently, I did this when I recorded Ashokan Farewell). 

It gets a little harder to sync up the parts when the two violins don’t start at the same time (like in this recording)—I have to do some moving around with the video editing software. 

I now usually put a few leading measures in the click track where I play a note (open A string) so many beats before the start of the piece, & I play this on both parts.  I use this pre-song note as a point to align the sound waves in the editing software.  Once I’ve finished putting in the parts, I cut the beginning off that has this “aligning” note.

. . . And also inspired now to do something Christmas oriented with a carol and a trad Irish tune.  I think thats part of the fun and pluses to doing the parties... get ideas new tunes from everyone. 

I agree.  So, another party!

@stringy Thanks--ABitRusty picked a tricky tune to play--I would have liked to play it a little faster, but I would have been tripping over my fingers if I did I think a quartet version would sound wonderful!

@ELCBK Sorry for my geeky explanation

Thanks, Fiddlerman

I prefer to use Google Drive vs YouTube.
