So I'm gonna Be The Change.

I had a lot of fun recording my song for you all, I hope more people share theirs and also share more recordings of them playing with other people's. It's a lot of fun!

If you're wondering how to record yourself, (you need an account to see links) for doing it on a few different devices.

After recording your video, you have a few options to share with the forum. For all three options I'm suggesting, be sure you are using an account you are okay with being associated with clraik.

I personally found it useful to write out the notes I wanted and then translate them into the keyboard keys I needed. This interface has the exciting bonus of allowing for chords!

But you could also take @<a href="https://clraik.com/forum/member.php?u=20888" target="_blank">LibraryFaerie</a>'s approach and make yourself an on-screen guide!

If you're curious about the different styles here's my current userbar in all currently available ones (sorry I didn't want to reset it to just play a scale).

SO I went all out and tried to do Hedwig's Theme. It's a work in progress but I've got this so far. I think the phrase is too long to truly fit in the 15 second limit for our ubs. I've included both the condensed, out of rhythm and way too fast ver. 1 as well as a much better ver. 2. 47 days to Halloween.

First version:

Better, minus the clunking keys. Sorry about that.

I will add this! When I have time this week (or more likely weekend), I'll try to update this thread with more info with things like this!

And yeah, I noticed that. I have three-note chords in the end of mine and it's a bit jittery, but still sounds good.

Yes! Got the same feeling hahah, mine still sounds perfect with one note behind but maybe two notes at the same time is the perfect sound

ya bitch loves a good meme

(please excuse the typos, my typing accuracy is like zero percent and it was difficult enough not to habitually correct them which would have just made it worse with my lazy type-display methods)

but for real, i feel like this unleashes a whole new set of possibilities.

Okay but I am not joking about my Need To Meme

Trying to play Ievan Polka but the highest G#/Ab and A#/Bb* refuse to record.

(people smarter than me, when do you call it a flat vs a sharp?)
