NoteWorthy Composer Forum

Hello,

How can we make the sound of the nwc file when we play it, because when I screen save it and make the video for my youtube the sound is not loud enough.

Thank you,

Frank

Do you have any dynamic marks (i.e. fff, ff, f, mf, mp, p, pp, ppp) in your score? If not, you can add a ff or fff to the beginning of each staff to make them louder than the default.

I forget what the default volume is if there are no dynamic marks. Anyone else remember?

fff  :))

The more f.... the louder?

Frank,
if the sound when you're normally playing a song through NWC is OK, then the problem is NOT with NWC.

Check the recording software you're using because that's probably where you'll need to make adjustments.

Well, almost: 110.
Normally fff is 127 and ff is 108, so it's a bit more than ff.
(Yes, I'm picky... sorry  :D )

Hi mate,
actually, if you create a new score with no template (IE <Blank Score>), the default volume on the only staff is 127.
If you add additional staves, no matter which template you use, they will default to a volume of 127.
Velocity levels that represent dynamics also have defaults unless overridden by the itree.
E,G, ff is 108, fff is 127, ppp is 10 etc.
If you do not assign a dynamic it will default to fff which defaults to a velocity of 127

Soo, defaults are Volume 127, Velocity also 127* ('cos fff)
* Unless you've edited your itree, but even then I don't think that would apply until you assign an instrument...

The default dynamic levels are at the top of this page: dynamics.html (https://nwc-scriptorium.org/wp/dynamics.html)

Default Volume = 127, no doubt.
Default velocty = 110, not 127. Try to believe.
And no, I didn't edit the itree.

Warren, unless I completely misunderstood, we are talking here of the default velocity when no explicit velocity is specified.

So: this

sounds as:

Just did my own test which confirms this, so now my question becomes:
When did this change? 'cos I'm *certain it hasn't always been this way.

* I's possible I may be wrong, but I am certain  ;)

I think Rick said "it's a bit louder than FF" many, many years ago, so it should not be too recent a change.
N.B. Of course, we are discussing about "goat's wool", as we say in Italy. That is, "negligible things"!
