thanks Trenton Ichiban Ippai works now thanks, also when do you want the video by and how should i record it?

[BigSmokeDawg]

No rush to do the video, so take your time. As for recording, do the video and audio. Make sure the audio is just your instrument playing the song without the backing track as well. Sync the audio and video together and email them to me (PM me for my email address)

I need to get my drum set back from my old roommate still, he's had it for a few weeks. I'm doing some air-drumming practice so I should be ready. My guess is the video should be done by the weekend of June 9-11.

[S332666460]

what programs should i use to record and put the files together cause i have never done anything like this before, sorry for being inexperienced

[BigSmokeDawg]

Audacity to record the audio, and a video camera/webcam to record the video.

Use that if you have a webcam

Assuming you have a way to plug your bass/amp into your computer, most video programs (like Windows Live Movie Maker and iMovie, to pick defaults) have an option to take the amp input as the audio, giving you cleaner sounds on your playing.

But if you don't have that option, BigSmokeDawg has the best alternative. Audacity is the best option as far as free audio goes. And really any kind of recording device will work.

[BigSmokeDawg]

Yup, just make sure your actual audio recording is as good as possible.

[S332666460]

do you have a video resolution preference like 720 or 1080

[BigSmokeDawg]

As high as you can get it really. 720p will be fine though.

[S332666460]

all right i'll see what i can do thanks, i can probably get you my part in a couple of weeks
i need some time to polish up

Actually I tried a 1/4" to 3.5mm reducer, from keyboard straight into my laptop's mic jack, recorded with Audacity. Should work fine..

@Blossom
That's pretty cool. It's perfect.

Do you have other video like this?

[BigSmokeDawg]

Just AznAndy's completed guitar part for the song. It's pretty damn awesome

Sounds perfect playing-wise and tone-wise. I gotta get me a 'Stang. I have an EC 1000T with Alnico II Pros, a Tele, and a Jag. The Jag may have to go the 'Stang. Again, great clip.

Looking forward to the big cover project you guys are doing! I haven't touched my guitar in a year, and I'm finally missing it (due to excitement for the K-On movie (just one more month to go!!!)).

Hmmm... do you mind a suggestion? A band cover does sound awesome and all, but how about making a tutorial(s)? For the K-On songs. Since you guys seem to be able to play them well (I can't even play a whole song), I think a tutorial would be very helpful, especially for newbies (and be the trigger for the birth of more K-On cover bands ^^)

Actually, I've been planning to make tutorial videos since December 2011. The problem is going about the tutorial process, it has to be brief, yet actually helpful. If you guys would have suggestions on how it would be done, I could help you all out. Videos tailored to you, by you, to help you.

Hmmm... since I brought it up... Let's see... (glad you're up for it!)

Spoiler for suggestion:

I only play guitar, so... Personally, what I'm having problems is finger positioning on the neck, and strumming pattern, I guess, so that's what I'd want help with. For example, in Let's Go, there' a chord that goes

7
9
8
9
9
7

And sometimes I think, is this even possible? In the end, I end up just making a B chord on the 7th fret... Although I do know that it's not necessary to follow the tabs note for note, but...

As for strumming pattern, sometimes I wonder if it's just down strokes or an upstroke... Though I think this is just because I have a problem with sixteenth notes and rhythm...

Uh... but these could just be problems I'm having because I'm such a noob. >.<

I guess... Hiyokobeat's tutorials are a good example? All I've seen yet is just the Fuwa Fuwa Time tut he made...
And I don't mind long tutorials as long as they're not repetitive.
