Let me explain You, if You don't know dear folks, what Erhu is?
Erhu is two-stringed chinese Violin.

Okay and now I will continue by voice post because everybody maybe don't know how to read pinyin so what means erhu? Erhu means I've explained you of course it means two stringed violin in Chinese. Originally I'm not from China so I don't know how to pronounce it with tones but erhu means in Mandarin Chinese too and hu means it is from hu qin which means violin or string instrument maybe. If somebody know Chinese please edit me because I don't know if I pronounce it correct. So it is just everything now from me.

I was surprised to hear that they matched way better than I'd hoped when I mixed two separate recordings of mine, one of which was the GarageBand drums, and the other was "Acapella" that I had posted earlier on my now-gone blog. You should notice that neither has a strict tempo, and I didn't record one of them while listening to the other. And mixing them was not something I had already planned before recording the drums. I didn't even know they would match that closely.

Hey everyone, regarding your explanation, well, I'm not a native speaker, I do know Mandarin, sort of, but as far as I know, the word for violin is xiao ti qin, and the word for two is ar, but I'm not sure where the other part of the word hu comes from, but it's like ar hu, I think, as far as I know, but I don't know the hu part, where it comes from, honestly, it might be another variant of Chinese where they call the violin hu ti qin, or something, but I could be wrong, just as far as I know.

To post 534, wow, very cool that they match so nicely! I really admire people who can use Garage Band. I got rid of it because I couldn't get on with it at all.

OK to the post 533:
Yeah, those samples are commercial. But, I have remembered on It, althought I have listened only previews of those samples.

OK to post 534:
Which a cappella? Is It a VST, or what is It?
Thank You.

Well, I'll react to post 535 to Mohamed. How to say, maybe it depends on context because, how to say, if you translate violin from Google Translate, for example, to Chinese, it can be Western violin. Of course, I know that, for example, various musical instruments in Chinese music are also known as, for example, Xian, for example, San Xian, those string musical instruments, but I'm not sure if those musical instruments are maybe plucked. I don't know. So I know only a little bit about Chinese music. I know only a little bit about Chinese musical instruments because I was also interested to this kind of music. Some musical instruments are, for me, you know, to say, maybe at some point, very interesting. Sorry. So, and also, I tried to study how to pronounce it with pinyin because in Slovak we have... We have a different type of writing for Chinese. It is same like in Czech language.

And also back to Enes' performance on Erhu. Firstly, it is maybe very interesting to me. I have thought that it is some kind of Jailetambur or it is some kind of Kemenche. But not this Kemenche which is used in Karadeniz in Black Sea region of Turkey. So I think that it was very interesting. But I discovered quickly that it is Erhu because how do you say with the Jailet or Kemenche. It will be maybe a little bit different. This kind because Chinese music is different of Arabic or Persian or Turkish music.

Sorry for those many answers but sometimes I am very busy to read everything. I will react also to Enes with some questions of my music that if I play this music which was previously recorded on my keyboard. It was on my melodica if you think to this like sound of harmonica. So it was my melodica. And nextly again to Gabi Masso Oriental Strings. I didn't use it. I have Oriental Strings both on my keyboard and also in various voice and style expansion packs but those are just for my keyboard not as a VST musical instrument.

All right, Marko. My name you can pronounce as Enes. It's not pronounced as Enesh, where you sometimes, as far as I know, in such Slavic languages as Polish and Czech and Slovak, you sometimes, you say things like Tomas. So, the name Tomas is pronounced in these languages as Tomas, but this is not the case with my name. Yeah, I know there might be exceptions, but I know that this is the case with the letter S in Hungarian as well, but not in Turkish. So, by the way, I didn't quite get what you meant in post-French. 540, unfortunately. So, a more elaborate explanation would be greatly appreciated. And as for how to use GarageBand, I've not used it in English, but in Turkish, I'll try to translate the options as best as I can. So, when you launch the app, you... First, you first have a screen where you have your previous tracks or projects shown. And then you have an add button there. And if you choose that, you'll be... It'll bring up a screen where you can... You can browse the available instruments and download new packs. And from there, you can just pick some instrument and then... You can re-access this browser by clicking the browser button. And the navigation button gives you two options. One is My Tracks. Which saves your current project that you're working on and returns you to the first screen that appears upon launching the app where you have your tracks. Whereas, the second option is whatever your current track is or your current instrument is. So, the second option should be the same as your current instrument. And you can click on that. And you can click on that. And you can click that. To make some adjustments, tweak some settings, and choose a different variant of that instrument or playing style. So, it differs from the browser in the sense that the browser lets you pick a totally different category. Of instruments. Whereas, the navigation button lets you pick a different instrument and make more subtle adjustments. And change the playing style within that category of instruments. So, if you pick... If you pick guitar... On the browser screen... on the navigation screen you should have the acoustic and electric guitar and things like that the electric guitar is named hard rock for some reason and you don't have you don't unfortunately have a classical guitar so yeah I may try to help you by trying to explain how to play each instrument in more detail but if you pick the drum kit then you have you for example you have the kick at the bottom of the screen to the right of the snare and the snare itself has some uh is split into some three should be three regions

okay I'm sorry it is because let me explain you with usernames sometimes there are not used any foreign characters such as some special letters and I know that in your language it is not depend on my language because how to say in my language you have a different letter system but in Turkish I know that there are some letters for example S which is different because there are also with diacritic and with diacritic for example S and Esh maybe Påla! understand what i said so due to this i made a mistake i'm sorry

And thanks for the help with Garage Band. I found that it started recording as soon as I started the program and all the mess I made was automatically saved into a project which I'd never want.
