problem with interval singing

Post by blueskygal »

My microphone seemed to set up properly - but the program doesn't seem to accept my singing input.

How do I need to set up the exercise in interval singing so I can sing intervals? This is crucial for me as I am a vocalist and am working my way through my relative pitch course using your excellent software.

Thanks in advance.

I have set the microphone up for interval singing and selected it as my input device but it is not registering my responses.

Please advise what else i may need to do to be able to sing my input.

Thank you.

Hi,

When you go through the Microphone setup steps, take special care with the settings of step 3, 4 and 6.

Don't go past step 3 and 4 before the tones shown by the program are corresponding to the ones you are singing.
If you sing a C and the program isn't displaying "C", then you should adjust the available settings.

The program may also not recognize your answers if you sing several octaves above or below the question, in which case you can ask the program to only evaluate the tone, not the octave in which it is sung. To do that, click on the "Exercise Settings" tab and choose "Answer Identification>Any Octave".

Alternatively, you can also specify the range in which the questions will be asked. In customized mode, when setting up the exercise, go to the "Key and Root Movement" options. Choose "Advanced" and click on "Edit..." . FInally, specify the upper and lower limit for the questions on the keyboard at the bottom of the window.

Best regards,
Quentin
