RECORDING SAMPLES

June 7 Concert Samples – I Hear America Singing

How to adjust the speed of the playback on YouTube videos:

Some of the songs are pretty fast. If you are listening to one of the YouTube videos and want to slow down a passage, do you know how to do it?

  • Usually somewhere on the page is the gear symbol, which is the icon normally used to indicate settings. 
  • Click on the gear icon
  • You will get some choices
  • Click on “speed”
  • You will see a slider
  • Sliding left slows down the recording speed but does not distort the sound
  • You can speed it up by sliding right.

The setting will stay where you put it so long as you are on that page.  It will revert to normal when you close the page. You can change the speed at any time; just pause the video, change the speed and resume the video.

Two choices:

1. This one is a choir practice version. It’s all on keyboard—no voices.  First it plays accompaniment only; 2:04 soprano begins; 4:06 alto begins; 6:20 tenor begins; 8:16 bass begins

2. This version is all voices—Atlanta Master Chorale
