    How To Make A Good Looking And Sounding Youtube Video

    [quote name='urb' post='832107' date='May 9 2010, 12:42 PM']I guess it's high time I posted some kind of How To... thing on hooking up a DAW and movie making software - so here's a really quick overview of how I do it now. It took some trial error before I finally got it sussed but here's how I did it for this vid.

    First of all plug yourself into Logic or some other DAW - Garageband will probably be fine. The tricky part is filming and recording at the same time so I always hit record on the camera first then on the computer - then keep going until I nail a take I'm happy with:



    Then it's over to iMovie with the footage - it's best at this point to have mixed your track to your satisfaction, this is where any 'tweaking' goes on (I've found the default 'bass amp' in Logic to be very good at bringing out certain frequencies i.e. the Mids, I usually go for the 'Top Class DI Warm or Mid) - edit the footage to the exact length of the audio - that way you'll be able to sync the two very precisely.



    Then open up a 'Mastering' template in Logic - Import a bounced file from your audio project - i.e. a Wave, AIF or MP3 but the higher quality ones are preferable. Then you can tweak some more on the audio with your various additional compressors and FX but this is optional - then from the File menu go 'Open Movie' - then go 'Export Audio to Movie' - this will then replace the not so great camera recorded sound with some lovely full fat Logic sound - then save the movie file to your hard drive.



    For a finishing touch you can then re-import the movie back into iMovie and add some smooth in and out transitions or text or whatever else you might want to do. It sounds a bit complicated but the more I've done it the quicker I've got - the key is getting the movie and audio clips exactly the same length then syncing the two is very straight forward - that's been the biggest headache for me in the past!

    I have this ace Canon High Def handicam the Canon HF200 HD:



    And here's the finished video:



    I hope all this helps - just ask if you have any questions and if anyone else has any tips please add them.

    Cheers

    I bought this from the Forum a few years ago ( from bigthumb ) and have only changed the original damaged scratchplate since.

    It has just had a new set of Fender 9050s Flatwounds fitted.

    As you can see the neckplate has the original owners name engraved in it!

    Been loved and well used! Nitro finish has worn nicely and settled into the wood
    Not a sparkly new looking thing.

    I'll get loads of detailed photos up when I get home. (on holiday at the moment)

    Looking for sort of precision bass. Any age condition. Any colour, etc
    Not hugely keen on Mexican standards.

    Just a shout to see if anyone fancies it!

    There you go! That's me playing it. I know it's not up close photos but... It's something for the time being ha!

    Fender Jazz, USA HW1

    Nirto finish (just like the old days)

    Baddass Bridge,

    Grease bucket tone circuit.

    Comes with Gig Bag (deluxe and all the case candy, truss rod tool) *mmmm case candy*

    Used as my main gigging bass, The finish is Nitro so it starting to ware in nicely already, many bumps/nicks/starches. This is a players bass! someone who wants something tough reliable and ready to gig, and throw around on stage!

    Saying that... if grab some wire wool and buffer out the shininess, you could probably make the bass to back somewhat to how it used to be.


    Considering a swap for anything really!!! just like to have a change :) you all know what i mean.

    Cheers guys!

    [quote name='LLOYDWT' post='1195138' date='Apr 10 2011, 10:12 PM']Got the HS version of the Bongo Stealth, it's my main gigging bass along with my Stingray, beautiful guitar, beautiful tone, but a completely different beast to the 'Ray. I'd say keep it, but it's your call fella! Good luck with the sale :-)[/quote]

    i know man!, it freaking awesome to play. and its a real joy to own such a highly specked bass. i think its the fun'st bass out there to play. but the look is just not me!.
    i think ill be happy with a stingray, im rather into my classic iconic basses!

    Hey guys, up for grabs an awesome looking music man bongo. rear stealth black custom finish.

    Two Music man Hum buckers! 4 band EQ, Pretty much the top of the range music man :)

    Personally im not so keen on the black!, (most people are) im in an indie band, and let say it looks slightly out of place...
    saying that... this bass is basically the best ive played.. (i have usa jazz/ricky and own over 30 basses).. because i ove the sound and feel of it soo much it would be awesome to swap for something like a stingray or a sterling, that looks a bit more normal.

    THis is actually quite low milage! i took it out of the case once, and the lid fell down wist taking it out!, so theres 'nics' on the side, all in the photos though, not a massive biggie but anying for me as it happened about a day after getting it! haha same thing happend to my Rickenbacker :) ahh

    If anyones wants it to buy, no worries thats cool!, looking for about 900, not a bad price considering the bass costs about 1600? but if you want a bargain we can sort out a price! i'm friendly so up for a deal.

    Ask me any thing..

    Thanks for looking!,
