  • Playing speed

    Posted by Steve H on January 10, 2024 at 8:18 pm

    I’m in the 30 Days to Play course, and in Week 2 Tony says “We’re going to play this at 3 different speeds”, or “We’re going to count down from 5, then next time 4, etc”. But when I do the “Play” exercise, there’s only one speed or one exercise in the video. Am I missing something? Am I suppose to use the speed control in the player to practice at different speeds, or is there a different recording somewhere?

    I don’t know the definitive answer as I don’t recall that lesson but I’m pretty sure there are no other recordings. In recent daily challenges Tony has mentioned changing the video speed the speed control attached to the video.

    I’m seeing the same thing. Even if we take the advice given by the person who responded and use the playback speed, the fastest I can get is 2x, and that seems to change the pitch somehow. I’m going to post this as a question with support and see if we are missing something. I’ll post back or ask them to post on this thread if they have an answer.

    TAC Support replied and stated that the “Learn” videos are being updated to remove the language about multiple speeds in the “Play” videos. The way to speed up the “Play” videos is to use the 1x, 1.5x, 2x, etc. settings in the bottom right corner of the player. As of now anyway, 2x is the fastest you can go. Look on the bright side though, if you can play it faster than 2x you’re doing pretty darn good!

    Good to know! Thanks for checking into that.

    A bit frustrating that the learn videos still mention this, but only one speed in the Play videos. Not sure if TAC monitors this, but thanks to the community for the responses.
