RE: Rough Cuts #1 - my cover of "Low" by Cracker

in Hive Open Mic5 months ago

Need might be a strong word, but I certainly recognize that my videos would benefit from a camera operator. If you think I look Duck Dynasty here, wait 'til you see one without the beard braids.

It took me a while to get used to hearing my own voice. It actually changed how I sing. Now, I've been doing home recordings for so long, it's all old hat. I don't even really hear my voice, just the room reverb, and the bad spots in the EQ...

I've used OpenShot as an editor for years, though right now I'm trying out something a bit more lightweight called Flowblade. I could do more stuff like this if the editing software was workable on ALL of my computers, not just the fancy 4 core that I record with.

Sort:  

I used to be real good with Cakewalk. Most everyone uses Pro Tools anymore. Tried that one? What about iMovie for video? It's nice. And easy to work with.

I used Cakewalk WAYYYYY back in the 90's, when I first dabbled in home recording. I haven't had a chance to try Pro Tools for myself, though anytime I've worked with anyone else's setup, that's what they were running. For my audio only projects, I do almost everything in Audacity, which is free and extremely simple. If I'm trying to record a whole band with some MIDI instruments, I'll use Ardour, which is kinda like a free software version of ProTools.

I've never tried any i-software for audio or video. Apple products tend to be outside of both my price range and pirating abilities.

Fair enough. Yeah, 90's, back before YouTube had commercials.

I'm no help with audio, been outta practice way too long but if you need help with video, shoot me a line, maybe I could give you an angle.

I may take you up on that.

How would you feel about collaborating on some comedy writing? I've been putting together a couple 3-5 minute sets that I want to do videos of for the ComedyOpenMic Community, and I could definitely use a hand (and another set of eyeballs) writing and editing that material, if I want to get the videos done before 2030.

Any interest in that?

More than THIS.

COM? You must be the only one still representing.

You got WhatsApp?

I do have WhatsApp. I even learned how to use it a little bit, a little while ago.

I had been thinking Discord, but I'm happy to go with whatever works best for you.

Kingsleyy and Blanchy are still dropping posts in COM now and again. I'm hoping a couple good videos (and I want to bring OCD curation back) will help breathe some new life back into the place.

Got a clever way to exchange numbers anonymously? I've been thinking for a minute now, something I try not to exceed 20 seconds, never came to me.

Is Amir even around anymore? That channel went silent on discord. Whatever your rationale, I'm down like four flat tires.

You ever catch any of that show I keep telling you to watch?
