-- Do you even hardware jam?

Anything live is a no go. Live means audience which means attention which means drugs which my doctor has advised against.

Cool stuff man ^^^
Would have liked the bass to match the lead sound at a later point in the track but nicely done!

Thanks chaps!

Not sure what you mean by bass matching up with the lead Evo?

I'd still love to see other peoples stuff on here too. Watching hardware jams in my current Youtube addiction but their search algorithms mean I seem to miss so much of it!

Nice vid mate.

What do you capture your performances with, the audio and the visual?

Your Blufmonkey little video intro at the start - what software did u make it with?

I'd post up live stuff if I knew how to do it - but each time I start reading up I end up mind-fucked with all the options

Video is captured with my DSLR, although it's a bit of a crappy one. I need to upgrade. Audio is taken from the master output, I use a freebie called Melda Recorder to capture the live feed. I just hit a note on the keyboard to sync up the audio and visual and edit that out (in Vegas) afterwards.

The intro is created in After Effects. I simply bought a template from the web and a pal of mine rendered it. I don't have after effects OR know how to use it. The audio I did in Cubase afterwards by importing the rendered video and working to that.

No its just a stylistic/arrangement preference, its great the way it is

I meant that the bass notes changed to match the lead, not the actual pattern or timbre or anything
Like in the track below the bassline stays on the same note until after the break, not sure if im making sense lol

P.s is that a vermona something above the arp, what you think of it?
Nice little collection you have there

Ah gotcha. To be honest if I had a Push 2 or something I might have made more clips of complex midi/notes, but as it is I needed to keep it simple for the sake of ease as I was clip launching with hotkeys on my qwerty lol.

That other synth is the new Mono Lancet 15 and it's a monster. Fairly simple, but awesome tone. Easily as good as any Moog bar the Model D. Very simple, but it just has tone.

I threw some Corsten midi into it and just recorded some live tweaking. It's zero processing apart from some delay.

The audio I did in Cubase



So I'm trying to get this straight in my head;

1) I can record a video using my new Cannon camera, connected to my PC and download the audio and video into my PC?

But surely the sound would be awful quality recorded through a camera MIC?

When you edit the visuals (chop up), how does the audio not end up all chopped up?

No, the audio is captured on the computer with the Melda Recorder plugin.

Audio and video are then imported into Vegas and synced (you have to do this manually using a clap or visual cue at the start of the video, like they used to use clapperboards in movies). Once they're lined up, they're locked together. Any edits to video are also made to audio at the same time.

How the fuck, in this day and age, is there not a video capture application that lets you patch the audio in and capture, even if you re-route the hardware back in to a set of unused inputs? I.e. a video capture program that works like soundflower or use aggregate devices?

Seems fucking bonkers that you actually have to record the screen with a camera?

No I don't capture screen with a camera, there are tons of applications that allow you to do that on PC.

The hard part is finding a software solution that will allow you to capture screen AND an ASIO output. It's a bit hit and miss, with miss being the result 95% of the time. You can sometimes use ASIO4all and the application will 'see' it, sometimes not.

It's the main reason I bought the Macbook. Screenflow captures the video, the DAW output AND a mic input for voice via my RME all on separate channels ready for editing.

Not that I can carry on doing that when my Macbook dies. I'm not buying a shitty new model.

After Effects is one of those softwares I really want to learn but haven't been brave enough to try yet. I can get my head around Photoshop & Premiere and Audition, but since it's all professional-level software, it takes a long time to get familiar with.

I used Photoshop briefly but I found it exceptionally unintuitive. I think all Adobe software requires significant investment of time to 'get'.

I also relentlessly dislike their cloud/subscription model. I think it's overpriced and under supported. I know two graphic designers who lost two days work from a server 'issue' just before Christmas who were given a 48 hour customer support turnaround estimate unless they paid even more money for premium support. Fucking disgraceful.

There are other options now though for PS, hopefully for the other Adobe products too.

Have another one.

And I want to hear yours too!!

It's still amazes that M$ haven't figured this out yet, nor aggregate devices and AU plugin compatibility.

Mac are soon going to be dead for audio production, the new macbook is a joke.

Word is, that M$ are coming back on the hardware front; the studio pro imac killer was really just a test of the water for bigger things to come. Fingers crossed......

I don't know, once you get your head around the PS structure and way of doing things, it does make sense and then graduating on illustrator and indesign etc are just extensions of that methodology. I'm probably close to pro level (where I could make money doing it) on all three and it only took about two years. I can't say the same for audio programs where although they do the same thing, the difference between say pro tools, logic, cubase and Live are massive in terms of workflow and methodology.

All my tracks are done via hardware, but this is the only live video I made:
