I'm in the process of creating the demo for an upcoming video on a 1974 Fender Twin Reverb. This is the point where I'm editing the video and audio layers all together with green screening. The studio-captured audio is not added yet. This is just a rough video mix with the RAW camera guide audio for the drums and guitar ONLY! So this is what the drums and rhythm guitar are sounding like in the room by themselves with no close miking and no post processing (other than a bit of compression and EQ). I am actually kind of shocked how good this is sounding even though one of the camera mics (the one for the drums) is from a DJI Action Cam and the other (for the guitar) is a Panasonic camcorder mic. Usually when making this kind of demo, the raw camera mic audio acts as a guide when lining up video clips on the editing timeline and then gets deleted from the final timeline before publishing. In some cases, I will even mix in a hint of the raw camera microphones with the studio mix to give ...
So it's been a minute since I put up a regular video. My neck and shoulder have been acting up again. I've been prescribed some meds for it which have been helping alleviate the symptoms, but the underlying cause (which I am certain is arthritis) is obviously still there. I can play guitar in short bursts, but even holding a guitar and extending my left arm outward to press the frets results in pain. On top of that, my wife recently suffered a partially detached retina in one of her eyes. She woke up with a large dark spot in her field of vision which necessitated a surgery. She's still in recovery for that. So it's been a mess around the Guitologist house of late. Good news is I can at least film stuff that doesn't require me to play much at the end of the video and I can edit video. I have a couple videos in the can that need to be edited, so I'm back to work, at least partially.
In other news, my daughters both have music lessons in their schools this year. The eldest daughter is taking...
I just noticed there's a Fesley Les Paul like the one I reviewed recently in black for $188 on Amazon right now. If someone wanted one but got put off by the price hike after I made my video, here you go: https://amzn.to/4ncaT01
They have the gold tops back in stock too.
