We’ve started the new year strong with more weekly Open Sessions hosted by Ben Lewis and Eden Casteel on FarPlay Meet, our platform that lets you connect with the wider FarPlay community, free to all subscribers. Interested in being among the first to experience Meet? Sign up now for early access.
Here’s a taste of what’s waiting for you. Despite the cross-country distances, Randy Felts on Synthophone (MIDI sax) in Boston, MA, Jean-Luc Landry on bass in Montreal, QC, Robert Jackson on trumpet in Coos Bay, OR, Meri Ziev on vocals in Ocean Ridge, FL, and Eden Casteel on piano in South Kingstown, RI performed this sparkling rendition of Arlen & Harburg’s “Over the Rainbow” during one of Eden’s “FarPlay at 4” open mics on Meet.
Eden’s open mics are Wednesdays at 4pm New York time and Ben Lewis’s weekly jazz jams are Tuesdays at 11am New York time. Want to drop in? Join the FarPlay Meet beta — free with your subscription — and look under Open Sessions, where you can browse sessions (or create your own!).
Fix distortion when you play loudly
Do other musicians hear distortion when you sing or play loudly? Simply lower your mic’s input level. The video below shows how we walked a singer through the steps for her in Windows. It’s easy to find the settings in Macs, Windows PCs, and external audio interfaces. For details, check out our new blog post.
Monthly support sessions
