Greg mentioned the Cramps on another thread. Apparently another band we both love, besides the Ramones. Here's a Cramps cover I recorded @ last halloween, in all it's ridiculous suck. GOO GOO MUCK.

Love it! You seem to have a great attitude man. Are you using some kind of plugin for the e-drums or is that the stock sound?
Fucking awesome. Great job on a great classic Cramps song!
Cool vid too. How'd you do it? I've never done one and might give it atry.
Thanks man! I do the vids with a Logitech web cam. My daw is Cubase. I just start the vid capture (that came with the camera) right before I start the take in cubase. I try and record video and audio live in 1 take for each track, and usually try and slap a 4 count at the front of every track.
Then I use Vegas Movie Studio (which is cheap but great) and lay in the video tracks and the mix, and then manually slip and nudge each track until the counts line up visually, then by audio phase if there is bleed into the cam mic. Once I got used to it, it takes about 15 minutes to line up the videos for drums, bass, guitar and vocals on a 3 minute song.
So you mix the song and the video at the same time in Vegas? Or are you using an already mixed stereo track and lining up the video to that?
Ha!! I remember that song. wow. Great cover. I'd like to see a little more going on with the video, but I get it using the webcam and all. You can add in more cuts with different angles; especially during the solo part.
Good delivery of attitude with the singing.
Were you using the same computer to capture both video and audio?
I mix down in cubase to a stereo wav. Drag that into vegas, then drag in and sync the videos one at a time using the cam bleed audio to line things up.
Sweet, thanks. I might give this a try. I've got a good vid camera. One of the kiddies does animation stuff with Vegas something-or-other. I'll give it a try.
It's not difficult, especially if you use a DAW like reaper. It is time consuming and there's more creative thought than just writing a song.
Cramped goodness - it does essay the link between the Cramps & the mutated pop that in many instances followed: like B52s doesn't it?
I enjoyed!
Thanks!
Does Reaper do video?
Does Reaper do video?
I see. I might try it one of these days. Thanks for the tips.
Let me know if you need help. I'm not too too far away.
