Topic: first public you tube

I finally had the nerve to publicly post to You Tube and Facebook more than just sound cloud.  There are a lot of you who have heard this in various forms and many times.  But I think this one is good with the effect of how the guitar recorded, which is what I was shooting for.

It sounded good and it takes a lot of confidence to post a video where others can watch.  Congratulation beamer.  Well done.

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

Sounds pretty good!! What sort of set up are you using ... I'm trying to get mine as simple as possible ... smile

But I'm missing being able to add FX to guitar and vocals ....

Hey Neo, thanks for the support!

As far as my set up its pretty much as simple as it gets.  There were some rough spots to figure out. so here it is.

Finding a good recording program for my webcam:  After trying out my VLC media player capture, I was not happy with the way it worked out.  The search was back on and I found some great FREEWARE.  Debut from NHC home freeware version. http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html

My mic is a Berhinger C1-U usb  mic right into the computer. 

The Effect, well thats the Tak plugged into the RP500 with a model I made with a Tube Screamer 808 and a phaser.   I played around with Mic placement and amp volume to attain the mix of acoustic guitar and amp signal.  My voice was straight as the one Mic was picking up everything.

I would have to be able to Isolate my voice to add effects to it.  most of the time I run a vox mic to my PA cab and have it plugged into my 2 stomp boxes for compression and delay.

If you want easy vocal effects this is pretty much the way to do it.  sometimes I use a RP70 with the stock reverb delay setting  as mic> RP unit> amp  or  mic>compressor>delay> amp  and then adjust volume levels no matter which set up you choose. You gotta find that sweet spot.

Then again there is always the  item that has been on my  amazon wish list for a while, 
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039PPW60/_e … &psc=0

Run all mics to this and this to your computer. With on-board effects  you can dial in your vox on a channel and then cut out the effects to your  guitar.

So thats about it. smile  Hope this helps.

Cheers for that - at the moment I'm just using a Rode microphone into my iPhone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ … c_for.html - the iPhone sits on a tripod and I have my iPad on a stand in front of me ... but I'm thinking of making use of the audio interface I have and plugging that into my Mac via Logic, then doing video via the iPhone and putting it altogether in iMovie ... I'd get (arguably) better sound quality, be able to mix it properly, but going froma setup that takes 10 minutes and is *so* portable, to something that would require mic placement, power, etc - I'm not so keen these days to over complicate things ...

But thanks for your set up info - it sounds similar to what I'm contemplating ...

Cheers

Richard
