Another video recorded recently - a great song by Blossom Dearie and Linda Albert. This was our first play through - so both of us were a little unsure! I prepared a bass and drum track by typing the chords into 'Band in a Box' and had their 'Real Tracks' prepare a bass and drums backing track. Some have asked about the method we use for recording - the H4n (lying on the top of the piano) is recording directly the vocal with the mike connected directly to one side of a stereo track - the other track is recording a direct line from the piano as the backing track is playing from a small MP3 player connected into the piano. At the same time, I am recording the midi data on the Yamaha P-250 piano, so that I can create the notation and keyboard view I have added to the video. We are wearing headphones so that there is no spill of piano and backing into the vocal track, yet we can both monitor the sound quite clearly. I will put the video, a transcription of the piano accompaniment, and the bass and drums backing track on my website at www.bushgrafts.com I split the keyboard into piano and in the treble 2 octaves an accordian type patch (on Yamaha's XG patch list the 'Tango Accordian')
