I am a Dinosaur!

[martin dawson]

My Grandson is studying guitar at Canterbury Music College and his project this year is to record and play his own compositions.
I casually said to him when you’ve completed the project could you transfer them to a CD so that I can play it?
The answer came back “ Grandad we don’t do CD’s or albums we do files ! I said to him I’m a Dinosaur I play albums and CD’s !
So the question is I have an I Pad and I Phone how do I get hear his work ?
Can someone on PFM enlighten me, please? I don’t possess a laptop.

Regards,

Martin

Get him to put them on Myspace.

Even better, you can have it on iCloud if he has Apple equipment like you.

I imagine he'll put them on Soundcloud which you can then access if he sends you the link via email

But that might be how things were done 5 years ago! It's hard to keep up

Thanks for all suggestions, much appreciated.

To hear them on your hi-fi, I'm sure you could do something like put the files on an MP3 player and plug that in your hi-fi. That sort of thing.

lol. My only Arctic Monkeys album is a cd-r I was given of their debut, made from the files they put on their MySpace one song at a time before its release. The volume levels are all over the place.

Apple's adapter if your iPad has a USB-C port:

A cheap Lindy cable:

A fancier QED cable:

Have him give me access to the files, I'll make a CD and post it to you.

Martin you are not the only Dinosaur on the forum.

 

[Tumeni Notes]

Have him e-mail you the files, or attach them to some messaging app that you use on your devices - WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.

Open message, save file to your device, get a 3.5mm jack to twin phono lead, plug jack into device, twin phono into Aux in on HiFi, and use a playback app (Musicolet? iTunes? Similar?) to replay through HiFi

Or, if you have a bluetooth speaker, connect to that, and play back from device.

I'm sure your grandson will show you what to do when the time comes.

Isn’t it easier, and better to ask said Grandson to play you the piece ‘live’ when you next see him?

 

[martin dawson]

Thanks Paul R that’s definitely a possibility, thank you Tarzan.

Martin
