Title: stix live at the wifes 40th on my sony mic
Post by: Oldrottenhead on April 04, 2008, 10:20:17 PM
stix playing chasing cars at the wifes 40th, recorded via my sony stereo mic onto the mbr, the laughing  throughout is the good lady pissed as a fart.

Very nice-
i never heard the song before  until lately -who's that by?
Styx has a nice voice-how many pieces in the band?
Did he let you sit in?
i wonder if a good noise reduction plugin like that in Sound forge might be able to clean it up some.

No horrible hiss there, so how come I'm getting so much? Gonna have to have a serious mess round with this thing once I am off nights. Funny enough I have just agreed to sing this song on a cover with a guy from another forum, he had to sell most of his gear to fund his college course so only has the PC, guitar and software to work with. Like the way this guy did the song.

i upload my video to the pc and use a programme called video studio9 that came pre-installed on my pc,my pc came with xp and prog is found in start/all programmes/entertainment. once video is imported there i can remove original audio track and replace it with an other audio file including mp3s. the hard bit is getting the new audio in sync but it is not too difficult.

You can do it with movie maker too. This was recorded to a Sony cam which sounds similar to yours and to the MBR simultaniously, then synced up in Movie Maker. If it looks out of sync that's Youtube not me  ::)

The missus played hell cos I wore the reading glasses while doing that, but how the hell was I to read the lyrics otherwise? You Bunkbeds on Youtube too ORH? I'll go look now  :)


Sadly Shannon seems to have gone off guitar for the moment, which is a pity as she was doing very well. More of her stuff here if anyone is interested...
