Hello,
I can hear myself in my headphones when I have my headphones directly connected to my microphone. I am using cords – USB mic to laptop, and headphone cord to microphone.
I wonder if there’s a microphone that you can connect your hearing aids to (via bluetooth), that will also connect to your device, so you can hear yourself playing and…[Read more] -

Thanks for this explanation, Caren. I see the same issue on the home page. Please make use of the practise journal where you can in the meantime, such as on homepage just above ‘New Things in the Fiddlehed Universe’.

I agree with Caren, ultimate sharing for engaging with. Thanks for putting this out there, it’s a great track! I could see this instrument being a nice compliment to fiddling, moving from one to the other, offering good balance in body position change and sound variance 🎶 🙂 Loving what your putting down, Debbie

Thanks for sharing folks. @susieq, I tagged you here to ensure you see Mike’s above reply. The hearing aids topic with recording/zoom sessions is a good one. Bluetooth to the apple device to hear the audio coming through our microphones. Be interesting to hear if this works for you, Susieq. Good topic to hear from the wider community as well 🙂

Very neat sharing, Steve. These are important endeavours. It’s a gorgeous song, and the way they play it really carries well. I also like the dynamics they use, harmonies, and various instruments coming in and out throughout.
I like how you share your process with this. Listening, especially live and with our instrument, and as we’re ready,…[Read more] - Load More
