Brahms' Lullaby on Autoharp and Chromatic Harmonica

This has been one of my favorite songs for a very long time. I love listening to it on the harp, so I wanted to try something with the autoharp. I made my own strum pattern to go along with this piece. The harmonica part was pre-recorded on my Chrometta 8.

Dear Valerie,

Oh, You played my favorite song!!! You said you used unsophisticated technology to record this song for duet. If you use a software, it would be much easier. I am using Adobe audition 2.0 that allows me to hear pre-recorded track using the headphone while I am playing. Thank you for sharing your music. Please keep up.

Greeting, Kyong

I need to learn that program this summer. I just got it awhile ago, so hopefully soon I will be able to record that way. I am glad to hear it is not too difficult to use. I will definitely play more duets and hopefully even some trios once I can use Adobe Audition.

Sounds nice. As I mentioned some time before,

that combination of harmonica, autoharp fits

like a glove. What did you use to pre-record

the harmonica with? I've gotta try this

sometime.

Thanks for the music, Dave

[Pigglies]

Thanks! I actually used some rather unsophisticated technology to record this. I used a stereo microphone to record the harmonica part. Then I played it back with the camera positioned about 3 feet away from the 5 speakers, roughly centered. And then I played the autoharp along with it. I eventually want to start using the software I have instead, but I need to figure out how to get it so that I can hear the part I'm playing along with. Either that or have a metronome playing in my ear.

Are you doing the harmonica too? Sounds really nice.

[Pigglies]

Yes I am. Thank you very much for the kind words.

Very pretty song! you have such a pretty smile too!

[RobertSchilman]

Aww, you are just so happy after playing that song, :'). Indeed it is a very jolly piece of music.

[TheMissouripicker]

Very cool. I like that.

[thoeckel]

Very nicely played - love the duet - I 'm trying to do that with my dulcimer and psaltery. I'm also waiting to get an autoharp, so enjoyed your playing!

Very interesting approach to multitracking. I'd have probably recorded the chordal accompaniment first though, but I guess whatever works for you. I applaud your musicianship. Check out some of my stuff if you get the chance, particularly "What A Wonderful World" on bass recorder. I think we may be musically kindred spirits.

Really good, well done that was just what i needed to end the day. Goodnite x
