Ultimate DIY Guide - Click Tracks for Classical Musicians

Описание: Using the free open-source software Audacity, I cover the basics of generating clicks as well as how to navigate complex tempo fluctuations (accelerando, ritardando, rallentando) and fermatas.

You’ll learn:
-The value of using a “reference track” and three ways to make one
-Keeping your work organized with labels
-Generating clicks
-The Time Shift tool and setting up a count-in
-The difference between a “destructive” and a “non-destructive” application
-Speeding up and slowing down the click track
-How the “Change Tempo” plug-in works
-Creating space in your click track for a fermata
-Generating silence
-Lots of handy keyboard shortcuts
-That I can’t go 15 minutes without digressing about music notation software

I resisted creating an ép YouTube channel until now, but I love creating videos as a side project, and I’d love to present some of my insights into the music tech side of things that isn’t usually taught in conservatories. A lot of these skills, like making malleable click tracks, I had to figure out through trial and error!

YouTube is a much better platform for long-form video content like this, and I’ll post videos sporadically whenever I have something to share that I think would be useful.
