Improved Recorder Feedback

LET ME BE THE FIRST

I THINK ITS ONLY FAIR

THAT WHEN SOMETHING DISPLEASES ME
I STATE MY MIND

SO TO BE FAIR AND HONEST
WHEN SOMETHING PLEASES ME
I SHOULD ALSO STATE MY MIND

THE
"IMPROVED RECORDER" ROCKS

ITS EASIER AND THE SOUND IS SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT
AND I HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED WITH ALL THE BUTTONS YET...LOL

WELL DONE AND TWO THUMBS UP....

Haha!!! Me too!

http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/be8e5a6dc Not a spam,just an example of the new recorder..I voiced over and added harmony to the chorus part.

I wasn't sacred, it takes more than that. (Ok, I lied, but someone had to try and be tough.)

Ok as someone who has been playing with the new recorder for quite a while now.
I think it's a HUGE improvement over the old one!!

There were a few bugs during the beta testing, but they were addressed and repaired quickly and effectively. right now I think it's just about the best improvement you've made to the site since I started here.

:~)

Hope this where I can say I just tryed the New Recording for the first time useing it it was soooooooooooooo AWESOME the sound omg wow & easy to use well at least I thought so for the first time & I did a duet with someone which would be a little harder to adjust then if you are singing by yourself!!..Thank You Thank You for the better sound!!!!!..cool!!!!....

Tried out a recording...in the mixing area it was popping all over the place, will this be in the final recording?

Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thumbs UP :)

retrofan42, you tell us! If you have a recording with problems, save it as private and we'll investigate!

incredible new player I have been trying it out for the past few weeks and it is great ~ was having issues with the recorder it wouldn't let me record but I could use the beta remixer ~ I am glad to see the techs working so hard and finally getting rid of the bugs!!! it certainly sounds much more crispy and clear and the new features on the lyric + - is absolutely genus!!! rock on SS!

For me...the new recorder is a LOT easier!!!! Thank You Sing Snap!

I LOVE it!!!

love it!!! :D sound is great, recording is fast, no hick ups for me really, enjoying singing/recording again when i have time, it doensn't take as long ,and the sound is great!

In a word, EXCELLENT!!! One of the best additions by a staff that is always trying to make the site better. I honestly don't know how much more they can add to an already remarkable site. Kudos to the programmers, from a former programmer!!! :)

had a few problems at first but it great now,von

The only problems I've had so far have been self inflicted. This really is an outstanding update.

I really like it ! "Clipping detection" is a wonderful feature ! Thankyou SingSnap !

For some reason I can't get my Microphone to be noticed by the new system. Help me please!

ChrisMcGee, did you try running the wizard? Tell us some more details about what you see in there.

First , I was scared 2 click the improved recorder but when I'm trying , I am said Wha _ wha _ wowww , loved it ... THANX SS AND MORE POWER 2 COMES.

I have recorded a couple songs and I actually don't really care for it.

My question is when I record a song I have to have the mix volume almost at the far left (voice) and I am still quite faint in my recordings on words. I have moved the record volume up and the music volume down while recording too, but didn't have this problem in the existing program -- any suggestions?

Also, although addressed, I don't really understand the answer. The existing program had the "preview accuracy" lights (green, yellow, red). I found that really helpful for me as my ear is not the best and I am not a strong singer, but I found I could rely on those buttons to help me determine if I wanted to post the recording or not -- the new program doesn't seem to have this assistance and I feel lost now.

I hope I made sense. I am not very computer friendly. Thank you for any help - I just feel really deflated with the new system.

I have been playing with the recorder for quite a while now and i was in love with it from the first minute and after all this time i even love it more. This is a fantastic player.
I would like to thank everyone who's been working hard to get it running.

:) Karen

I don't like the new recorder...

I LOVE IT! lol

Novella, I recorded with the new recorder tonight and there is something different about the sound. The only way to explain it is that it seems like it's cutting the reverb off before it finishes it's natural decay. I don't know if they made changes to MMSB or what, but there is something definitely different about the sound. I guess that you guys are beta testing it with us, so i hope my input helps. Think I'm going to stick with the old until that issue is cleared up.

I'm so glad that the new player has been rolled out to everyone. I know there are still some outstanding problems that are being ironed out but the recorder is so much better than the old one! Glad that everyone gets to enjoy it now! I wouldn't dream of going back to the old recorder afer using the new one lol

:)

First time Ive used the Beta mixer to do a duet ...Had sync problems and finally got it to sound half way decent at 125+!!! Never had to do that before ..using the original mixer it will usually mix at -1 -2 or -3 Havent had to go any higher than that to get the sync problems worked out ...I love the sound of the new mixer but not sure I will be using it to do duets!! Hope I dont have to do that every time I do a duet??
Just thought I would post this here and maybe I could get some help to why the sync was so high??...Thanks for ur help Otherwise I LOVE the new sound of it and been using it for awhile now when it will let me!!
I can sing a song and it wont buffer and that is a problem when I can get the song right and it wont buffer and I have to redo it..

In the old recorder, the lights didn't mean your voice was lined up with the music, it just meant that what you were hearing was a close approximation to what the final mix would sound like. It was (and still is) up to you to pick the sync values.

Also, the voice levels in the old recorder weren't very accurate or reflective of the final outcome.

Now, the Mixer sounds nearly identical to the final mix, so if your voice is too low, turn up the recording level inside The Recorder before you record.

Hope this helps!

Hi Marshall_Dillon. You're right, the MMSB is a little different. It uses a better noise cutoff to get rid of the usual hiss that mose people have. It will also cut off the trailing end of reverb if it's too quiet.

I suggest you try turning up the recording level. Try this: turn it up all the way, enable "Clipping Detection" and sing full strength for about 15 seconds. It will automatically turn itself down to a safe level.

Then, you should be good to go!

You certainly don't have to do that on every duet, though it is happening to some people on occasion. If you can, please PM me a link to the recording.

I tried a duet last night with the new recorder & just had problems mixing it, I couldn't really understand about the - & + buttons,

so I deleted the duet & went back to the old recorder.

I hope the old recorder will still be there for us that can't fully understand the new recorder yet.

i used new recorder a few times and sofar so good. i didnt do anything different than i did with old recorder.

the sound is much better, but, i dont understand the clippings thingy, are there any instructions posted ?

kudos to jason and team!!!

The new recorder does seem to be a nice upgrade, however, I am experiencing some timing issues. First after I recorded the video looked like it was out of a Bruce Lee movie, LOL... What I was singing didn't line up with my video. I kept clearing settings and running the wizard again which seemed to help that, but now I still feel like there are places in my recent recordings where my vocals were a little of with the instrumental... It is "possible" it was me, but I really think it was the recording.

I've tried a few times to record on the new recorder but it doesn't get past the preview page with the rotating circles....I'd love to try it out but I don't get to the mixer stage. I've run the wizard numerous times....

Also, on the old recorder, my mic level went really high, into distortion, even though I turned the volume down.
Now, the mic level is really low...even with volume turned right up.
I know it's not the mic and I had no problems recording before today.

Thanks, if anyone can help.

Edited to add: This shouldn't affect the saved song.

Tried the improved recorder.....love it so far.........don't know of any listener will love my sound 2 though ..lol

Had a problem with recording a duet......it loads the part of the duet-partner and than......nothing .....it stops recording..... and goes straight to previeuw.......I really didnt get a chance to sing any note of my part.............it is a bit funny...........but not nice

The recorder detects clipping but my vocal is very low unless I use the MMSB feature which I do not want as I use effects and a mixer.

Also, is there any chance of having the MMSB off as default

Micflex, the record level is the same as the old recorder if you turn off MMSB. However, the level meter is all new and much more accurate.

Crank up the record level meter in the recorder, turn on clipping detection and sing loudly for 15 seconds until it stabilizes.. This should provide adequate volume without MMSB.

I've potentially fixed a large portion of the "endless spinning circles" while Preparing Preview. However, it may not be the answer people are looking for: if you got that, you may have had another error in which the system just did nothing.

Now, it will report one of two new errors: Error 3 or Error 5. If you get these, report back to customer service. There is also some tips onscreen if the error comes up.

It's nice to see a site that adds improvements to it's main function......I love the volume control feature the best cause those"clippings" were killin me...hahahah.
SingSnap is far superior to whatever else is out there!
Thank You!
