Hi All! I've had to make a tough decision. I'm not getting the audio quality I want of myself singing and playing my non-plug-in acoustic guitar with my own Zoom Q8 camera and condenser mics. I'm going to dig deep and hire a pro studio to record the audio to merge with a lip sync video. It...

Great Chris K! Your instrumentation and voice, plus even playing banjo and electric guitar besides your acoustic guitar, is amazing! It's only a matter of time before you'll have a big following! I like too how you had different angle shots. Did you shoot inside because outside is too risky...

Hi TalismanRich! Thanks very much for responding. No, night before last I was only trying to test out the audio quality by for the first time switching my large diaphragm condenser mics from being on omni to cardioid, also keeping the camera arm's length away so I could reach to adjust the...

Hi TalismanRich! Thanks so much for your response! I accidentally thought your response was from the same person that I just responded to below. Take a look there as I mention going to pages 15 and 16 but said it to the wrong person. I recorded last night and you'll see what I mention in...

Hi Rob! Thanks very much for responding! "Your ONLY solution for your press record, upload to YouTube requirement is mic positioning for separation. More than that you can't do." Do you mean not to do the "modern techniques" and just reposition my mics? I did record last night with mics on...

Hi Rob! My wrist is close to normal, enough I can play okay. I'm 66 so maybe I created a bit more arthritis with my injury. Also my own self-imposed low morale came into play ha! I let diffidence creep in on me once again, so a few days have passed in that regard too. I'm close now to...

Hi Gecko zzed! I see now what you mean and was influencing me to slow down while practicing yesterday resulting in a new version. I think I need not to be so concerned about shortening what will be I think a 5:30 length. The version I posted here was about 4:12 of actual song. I was too...

Hi Rob! Thanks again for taking the time! I'll have to order an extension cord for my headphones as the camera is too far and the chord seems 6ft long. I feel my wrist is finally back to almost normal. I will before when I have everything set up (I have to set up and tear down every time) I...

Hi jmbphotos! This is great! I was using omni based on 17 yr old memory for when I recorded my solo acoustic piano albums! Then I had one source, the piano. Now I have 2 sources, my vocals, and my guitar! Maybe that's it! I played last night and today first time since my injury and pain...

Hi TalismanRich! Very nice of you to take the time and also include a very nice video example. To me he attained a professional level of recording and he's also a very good singer/musician! Maybe I wasted my money on the Zoom Q8 and should've used, and it's still in the box since January due...

Hi Rob! It seems like you are an actual sound engineer with real clients! I never realized that! This is your bread and butter and you are so kind to spend your precious time on wannabe me! If you don't have time for this post I fully understand and maybe someone will pick it up or tune into...

Hi Rob! I'm using one mic for voice and one mic for guitar. In the video the guitar mic is in the lower left. I reply with quote because I think that's the only way you get alerted to come back to this thread, right? If that's true then in the future I'll always reply with quote. If there's...

Hi Mjbphotos! You have remarkable powers of observation as you picked out details that reveals Keiko's lip or guitar playing sync arrangement that fooled me ha! When I moved the mic away the guitar dropped way off but should just be better at adjusting the gain. I never thought the earbuds...

Hi Keith! Back in the Eighties I was living in a rooming house which was a very good deal for low rent. I had a bedroom the size of my present apartment ha! We shared two kitchens and three bathrooms with many in a big old mansion. Anyways, a guy there told me he bought a special gift for...

Hi Rob! Thanks very much for taking the time to consider me! I thought I needed a pop screen for my acoustic guitar because to minimize noise created by plucking the strings and sliding my fingers across the wound strings, but I will try not using that screen and place the mic even closer...

Hi Keith! Thanks very much for your patience with me! If you don't have time for me still I fully understand. It's just in my case a big decision that for most is not... I just thought since all the other mics in that online store with the C214, quite a few other mics, and quite a few...

Hi! It's the AKG Pro Audio C214 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone. Do you like those? Would it be leaps and bounds better than my Studio Projects B3's that cost $160 ea. The AKG is $400 new and this one I found is $89. See in my post #Very sorry as the least I could have done was get the...

Hi Keith! Thanks very much for taking your precious time for me! Sorry you're having all the construction, but nice to get it done as I heard about how old bathrooms eventually need to be restored. When I was caring for my mother my sister as a surprise paid $800 and had the old bathroom...

Hi Gecko zzed! Very nice of you to take the time again. I can't say much as getting bad flashes of pain in my left hand with a badly sprained wrist, and happening after I'd reserved studio time at a pro studio that charges $36 an hour and had to cancel. Yes TalismanRich is very talented and...

Hi! Painful flashes happening in my left hand with this wrist problem and have to stop but wow you are a troubadour! I love and knew right away what song you're playing with that beautiful A6sus chord at the start! That's the way I fake it when trying to play that great song! Your...
