Nice! How did you manage to record the screen and the sound at the same time? Thanks

Normally I'd use something like OBS (https://obsproject.com) but this time I used my Mac's Screen recorder functionality to record the screen while Logic played the track (since I used Logic to master the audio). In order to capture the audio at the same time, I used Rogue Amoeba's Loopback software (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/).

I created a channel in Loopback that could receive the output from Loopback — and macos's screen recorder can then use the output from that Loopback channel as the audio source. The channel was also connected to the Macbook Speakers so I could audibly hear the audio as well (so I knew what was getting recorded).

I increased the audio buffer so that there was no crackle w/ the additional load on the system while the recording was going on, and what you see is the result.

Perhaps next time I do this I'll create a short tutorial video that replicates my process.

It's been a couple months since my last post (where has the time gone?), but wanted to share my rendition of Chopin's Prelude in E minor, Op. 28, No. 4.

Preset used: Steinway B Recording 1, modified to remove reverb and tone down the pedal & hammer so that it felt a bit more distant. Adjusted the condition slider slightly (visible in the video). Added reverb along w/ minor edits in Logic Pro.

Pianoteq version: 8.2.0

I hope you enjoy!

Playing this piece with the right emotion and tenderness is very hard. You KerriS, you do it perfectly. So much feeling, just beautiful. And the tempo is right for me. Some play it faster, some play it slower. I can listen to this several times. But It feels so short…..
Bravo KerriS!

Thank you so much! I often have this song on repeat along w/ several different renditions in my playlist because it's so short... and yet packs such a punch!

Your rendition sounds so cool! I like the way it sounds and how different it is from the usual, which makes it even more special. I can hear some of the "hammond" sound now that you mention it as well. And experimentation is such a gift -- it's never a failure — you always learn something from it, and can apply that to your next experiment!

Not having pedal on organ has always been a challenge for me; getting my fingers to do convincing organ legato while not having my foot reach for the sustain pedal that surely must be right there is definitely fun. ;-)

Beautiful emotional rendition! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Ken!

As a curiosity I want to tell you that since I experiment a lot, I once wanted to try playing the music with Organteq and drums, like in a pop version  Sometimes you succeed in being inventive and innovative, sometimes you fail. Maybe to experience the experiment itself is better than the result sometimes.
Anyway people liked this version too. At least I had fun, and playing the church organ is completely different from the piano, as you don't have a pedal. Tried to get some ”hammod sound” from the Organteq  at the time.
here the experiment:
