Hello everyone...I'm living in Florida in the U.S. I did visit the UK a few years ago, on business. I worked for Hill's Pet Nutrition, and they had an office in London area. Also went to Ettenleur Holland where they have 1 of their manufacturing plants.
One person commented that the red mark at the beginning sounded like maybe latency. In my case, occasionally I get a red mark on the correct note when I start, but in my case I'm sure it is becasue I'm not starting exactly on count.
I've got just of 30 hours in practice using the Playground...so I'm certainly a newbie. Three months of free lessons came with the Yamaha I purchased, but I did not like them. The main issue was that it does not hook up to othe keyboard to directly get what you are playing. So, it would not work great on knowing what I was doing. It may have been a shortcoming with the built in microphone on myi laptop. But once I came over here, and it hooked up via midi on my laptop, I never went back to the other. I am very happy with the lessons here.
I plan to add to my learning schedule some Youtube stuff.
