Video Transcription

So one day I was sitting and I was contemplating, you know, the violin. I did that a lot. Well, this day, I was looking at my hands. I was going, hmm, they look similar. It's a stupid thing to say. But I went, huh, you know what? If you kept it this way and you turned it this way, in fact, they're the same.

Hmm. I went, OK, here we go. We've married both sides.

Huh. It's the same. So let's look at it with the violin. This, this.

Got this, this.

Huh.

Well, they're the same.

Very interesting.

The volume was set way too low. I had to turn up the volume on my computer to 50 to be able to hear it. Normally set at 15-20. Just thought I'd let you know. Anyway, thank you for the weekly video and free sheet music. I look forward to it each week.

I am sorry about that Sidney; from our side, the volume appears to be just fine. Is that happening with other videos as well or just this one?

Thank you for your feedback.

I just looked at another one of Prof. Fitzpatrick's videos and it is doing the same thing. I can hear the violin fine, but his voice is very subdued. Might be his microphone setup and not enough gain on the mic.

Just this one. Most other YouTube videos are just fine for audio.

Thank you Sidney for clarifying. I see what you mean, the voice actually should probably be a little bit louder. I am sure Prof. Fitzpatrick will make sure to have a louder voice in the upcoming videos.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback!

All the best,
