I recorded this to test out the clean tones on my semi-new guitar and amp. It's short because I'm on dial up right now, so I can't upload large movie files. would take hours Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5ZMztn2Aok
I have some coments : - I don't like the sound of the guitar. It's not clean. Or you add distortion effect on it? But it didn't sound like distortion effect for my ears. - Your guitar skill need to be improved more and more. You played a simple melody at the clip, so I think you need to learn more techniques to show audience more melodies and skills. - The video was so dark. We can't see the man who played the guitar. In photography, it's called "back light". I don't know wether you were planning to do so to add more dramatical effect or not. All I wanna say is the video is too dark. For next video, you'd better fix this problem by adding more lights in the room. Thank you. Good luck, dude!
No offense, but I feel like I'm being schooled as if I'm a beginning guitarist. Which is odd because I've been playing and studying music for years, even recording in a semi large studio! not including my bedroom The video is just a sound test for clean tones of this amp (which is very known for producing very nice tones). I don't know what kind of distortion/overdrive you hear, but it's not the amp..must be the cameras mic. The camera is not that great. The video isn't meant to be submitted to MTV as a music video. just a sound test. I'm not trying to show off my chops or anything like that. If you want to hear something more up-tempo, you can watch one of my older videos from months back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yu9iKGn02k Familiar with Hendrix?
No offense here. Well, even you are the greatest guitarist in the world, you should listen to opinion of all people who cares to your talent, include opinion from amateurs or even a common people like me. No offense also, but I think you are only need compliment. When you get critic, then you spontaneously defend yourself. It's not good, my friend. You should APPRECIATE EVERY SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. That's okay if you don't want to improve your skill anymore, that's okay if you feel you're great already. I just came to your thread and told you some suggestions like coming to a friend's house and having a chat. If I don't care about your music talent then surely I could posted some compliments that can make you happy without even watched your video, without even hear your music. I won't make any comment again in your thread if you need me to. That's all. Thanks for your time.
The sound is fine for YouTube - although there's a bit of clipping. There's not much you can do if you're limited to using the mic on a video camera, if your camera has an audio line in, use it. OR Get a decent webcam, and run a real microphone (or your amps line out) into your PCs audio card, then record your video and audio into a capture application (WMM, VirtualDub etc). You can then use a software limiter/compressor on the audio before uploading it. But you've probably thought of all that already ----- I don't think mimm understands that it's a sound test, not a noodle fest
Actually I didn't think of that e_e It's a Flip camera by Puredigital and I feel I've been ripped off. It's pretty good as long as you got a steady hand, but sound quality lacks. So I'll need to do something if I plan to give some online lessons, which I did plan on doing for the beginner blues guitar players. I use cubase for recording, but will have to figure out a way to tie that in with the video and sound so I could add some compression I think mimm got offended though it looks like. It's all good :]
Go here (if you haven't already) : http://homerecording.com/bbs/ It's an awesome home recording board. There'll probably be someone there who's doing exactly what you want to do.
