Hello again!
Sorry I couldn't make a post yesterday, but my usual computer was infected with 29 different viruses! I don't know how or by what, but all of a sudden while working on both my Spanish Power Point and music Audacity (recording part), there was a huge RARRRR noise, and about 6 different boxes popped up, reading things like "Critical Error!" and "Buy this software NOW to protect your PC!". Yet another reason I dislike Microsoft.
So now I am forced to start over recording on our laptop instead, which means I had to reinstall EVERYTHING (audacity, and re-upload the mp3 clip to audacity). Luckily, the microphone I used to record wasn't very sensitive anyways, so tonight I think I will pick up a new one to record with. Even though I have to start from scratch, I didn't really have any usable material before so it was not too much of a setback.
I am very happy because I feel that today was a good day as far as practising goes, as well as I used a different instrument today that I like better than my own. I have decided to use it for the recording, and possibly the playing exam. I feel confident that I can play the correct rhythms now, and I have also worked in the dynamics (as of yesterday, in fact). That means I can play all those fortes and pianos! The only thing I may have to work on is the timing with the piano track and the ritardando at the very end (I often forget to slow down). I am happy with how this project is coming along - last night I bought special picture paper to print my CD insert on, so as soon as I have the viruses under control I can print it, and I am pretty happy with my playing.
I guess now we will seeing how my recording goes tonight. Wish me luck!
