RockDebris Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Looks like there are a lot of people interested here in recording, mixing and writing. I recently got interested in taking some of the studio recordings I've done, making backing tracks and shoot video performing the main guitar part (for no reason in particular other than have a little fun). Here is the first original. Kind of slow and laid back, I have some more prog kind of stuff I'll do in the future. (While I'm doing this, I'm also trying to get more competent in miking my guitar for recording .. I've been recording direct for so long. Now I sort of wish I had focused on miking all this time. Nothing against direct recording, it served me very well. But it is not the same as the sound I get from my live rig.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallithrax Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well, i'm no musician, but you seem to be "dry strumming" in the 1st 20 seconds - i.e. strumming when there is no music to be heard. Don't detract from the actual music, but makes the start of the video look a bit silly. Musically -i like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't detract from the actual music, but makes the start of the video look a bit silly. Musically -i like it. Thanks for the compliment and the critique. I do see what you mean. The predominant guitar that you hear is from the filmed performance, though there is a quieter acoustic guitar there as well from the prerecorded track. The extra "strum" that you see when you don't hear anything is actually my way of keeping time in that passage which I'm not even thinking about (obviously, I'm not touching any strings on that "strum"). Oh well, at 41, if I tried to change that habit now, it'd probably be like trying to change my natural golf swing and I'd get all f*cked up.

Thanks! I guess it is sort of impossible to run from your influences when they've been a part of your make up for 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
