- IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS FOR TESTING YOUR EARPHONES OR SPEAKERS:
- The bass (low) notes have important parts in most of these videos. Your listening equipment may not sound these notes! To test your earphones or speakers, go to the Recordings link on this website and play "Prayerful Action Brings Hope". You should hear a fanfare in the high notes and a robust bass sound in the low notes sounding short long short long notes. If not please use different earphones or speakers! ... WARNING! If you wear hearing aids, check with your hearing Doctor before using earphones or ear buds. If needed, you can instead buy a tabletop speaker system that has adequate bass for this website and other orchestral type music on the web.
- DIRECTIONS FOR LISTENING TO A RECORDING ON YOUR COMPUTER:___ (1)-To properly hear the whole sound spectrum of .mp3 files with enough bass requires over-the-ear earphones or a speaker system that sounds like a live symphony orchestra. Some ear-buds earphones may be somewhat satisfactory. You MUST have good bass for the other notes to make proper musical sense. The computer total sound needs to be loud enough for the computer to reproduce the inner voices in the music. Do not listen to the music in a noisy place.___ (2)-Click a title to Play a Recording on your computer.___ (3)-The Player controls to Play the Recording may likely be in the the middle of the screen or at the bottom of the screen.___ Different web browser screens do different things. If you have a black, empty screen, then double click the screen to get to a regular screen with a tab at the top left of the screen. This tab at the top left of the screen can also be used to close the screen by clicking the "X" in the tab or otherwise click the back arrow at the top left of the screen to close the screen.___ (4)-If the browser window fails to work properly, use another browser. It is best to use the latest, up-to-date version of your browser.___ (5)-If nothing works with your browser and there is no Recording playing, then Download and save the Recording file to your desktop and then play the Recording on your default .mp3 player as described in the next bullet below.___ (6)-The Recording Copyright may not show on the screen.
- DIRECTIONS FOR DOWNLOADING A RECORDING:___ (1)-To Save an .mp3 Download on a PC: right click the the title and click a choice that says something like “Save Target As” or “Save Link As” noting carefully where you are saving it (it probably needs to be saved into a folder on your desktop so you could make a folder called Recordings and save the recording there); sometimes the Download ends up in the computer's Download Folder (which is different from any other Download Folder that might be on the computer);___ On a MAC: look up how to save an .mp3 file.
