@sumgai777 Didn't mean to be rude - I'm usually pretty tongue-in-cheek and my wife reminds me that sometimes that doesn't come across so well... >;-)

Seriously - I was just DISAPPOINTED - I'd love to know more details. (I've got a pile of caps from disposable cameras - CostCo's camera bar is awe...

Content: 1. Quality: 1. Interesting: 0. Waste of electrons: 10.

No need to quit your day jobs. >;-)

Brilliant model -- it's too bad that the explanation & presentation weren't correspondingly well thought through, and executed.

OK - I don't mean to rat you guys out -- but:

* The stuff on the bench is from American Fishing Wire (obvious url). The spool is Surfstrand 1x7 S/S wire; the other 2 packets are leader sleeves (that you crimp on to the wire to terminate/secure it).

Off the bat -- if nothing else (which is not the case!) -- your board work is stupendous. Getting that quality in a hard room with 2 simultaneous, miked sources (even if it's a piezo xducer in the guitar - still not pickups) - WOW. Then: the stereo sep is great, you nailed the delay/reverb (and s...

You're clearly comfy with 'acoustic' chords - that's how I learned, too. But an electric calls for a different style -- you need to UNLEARN using 6-string chords on the first 3-4 frets. Most of what you need is MOVABLE: just 2 basic bar forms, with variations for m, 7th, etc.; 'power' chords, and...

She OBVIOUSLY got a signal at 0:10, right when she's saying "the US, uh, suss...pending...". She finishes her line (and hand gestures) -- then immediately tucks her papers into her knees and hunches her shoulders a little (a "closed posture" - no pun intended), starts fidgeting with her feet and ...

This is absolutely one of the TIGHTEST performances I've seen -- mindblowingly good. (I'm just crying that the vid (despite pro multi-camera taping) is so low-q, and the sound is obviously not off the board -- heck, it's not even stereo -- from the credits it's pretty clear that this is an off-TV...

@miatjie You're kindly welcome! (Love the MacGyver reference - me too, although I manifest it differently.)

On the "peaking" -- I didn't notice much clipping (but I didn't listen to it through my JBL mon's or Sennheiser phones, either ;-). You might try a little compression on recording then exp...

So, for the reveal at the end (that the Hot Chick, well, ISN'T one), you cut to an ACTUAL guy, with belly hair, just wearing the same belt -- definitely a continuity problem. Much better would've been a more lingering shot using a prop for her package, while still showcasing "her" sixpack abs.

(I have to preface this comment with a disclaimer: I'm trying to be helpful, here - NOT mean.)

You are TOTALLY phoning it in -- there is absolutely ZERO passion, emotion, feeling, enthusiasm, for your dancing. You look like you're just trying to remember what's next -- it's like seeing an actor...

@Anikatiaa -- First off: he didn't say he was a court reporter -- he's just demonstrating his (amazing) shorthand skills on a tablet. Second (and I dated a court reporter AND have testified in a case): even if he WERE one - they use steno machines that print stuff lawyers and judges can't read EI...

NICE interpretation - although I *think* there're mis-hits at 1:24 and 1:29. BEAUTIFUL transition into the ooh-aah part at 2:10, and terrifically rendered.

(Funny to see Van Cliburn there at 2:10, too!)

Overall - GREAT rendition.....

Not bad, but not great. Some mistakes (dropped notes and more) around 1:22 - 1:29. Interpretation is kind of mechanical -- there are a LOT of opportunities for phrasing in the transitions between sections, and the contrast between hands. This just misses a lot of chances to really showcase what t...

The trills are just dead-on perfect -- very organic. Terrific rubato and blending - lots of folks neglect the left hand, and can't find the balance between the simplicity of the two hands, and two themes....

Nice pacing - not rushed (as so many people do to this piece -- in fact nice suspense b...

@kllmbc08

SO well said. I'm not even religious -- but I love Christmas, and I love the spirit with which this gift was given...

@GAnnie47 Yeah, right. Not that I'm a fan of the new regs -- they're idiotic -- but (speaking of idiotic):

Do you even KNOW what "Marxist" means? And if you're worried about being tracked "every where you go" (sic) -- you might want to get rid of your cell phone -- and if you're worried about yo...
