The machine was specified as a music production PC first and foremost, so low latency throughout rather than brute force processing power. The graphics card was a compromise as I couldn't really justify an 8GB card.

I have just done this, as we now are doing a lot if video editing for church and my 11 year old PC died. Custom build from Scan. £1300 was the compromise between cost and performance for me. I can link to the specs if you want. Some observations, based on 5 people times 30 weeks regular production of mainly talking heads but also multicam bands. DaVinci is fabulous, but it needs decent hardware to run without crashing. That means a proper GPU, optimised throughput for disk, memory, cpu etc. The multicam auto sync does not work for band music unless all the cameras have really good sound. Which they won't have. Shotcut is well liked by our team and runs much better on average hardware. Lightworks will do almost anything and I like it, but it doesn't hold your hand and the free version only exports 720p. As I have the hardware I moved to DaVinci as it is quicker to use. You must prepare for a band video in advance. A clear, loud, visible, clapper board or stick count is essential. Lining up manually is by far the best way. If you can set the frame rate of the cameras at the start do so, if not then don't worry, but fix the project rate and let the software adjust the incoming. Lightworks is crap at this unless you tell it mixed frame rate at the start. Get a rough audio mix and any cutting done first, using whatever you want, then add the video to that. You can remix the audio, but if the length changes you have to juggle the video which is a pain. Whatever software you choose, watch the company's training videos. Then watch them again and do the practice or training examples! Enjoy yourself 😁

Welcome aboard! I love Barcelona, one of my favourite cites anywhere. Look forward to going back some day, assuming we are ever allowed to travel again.

Welcome aboard, again. Love the colour on that bass.

But the traffic it gets is high quality, especially when @skankdelvar deigns to put down the Bollinger and grace us with his presence. 😉

Take 5 - Dave Brubeck

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Never too old to (re)start 👍

Welcome aboard!! I have the wrong glasses on and thought you were calling yourself 45 String. That's over half a piano 🤯

Welcome aboard! I will be honest, I have absolutely no idea about how to answer your question because all I own is a 60W practice amp and only ever play through that or the church PA. 😧 However, there are lots of real bass players here who do know what they are talking about, so I would head over to the Amps and Cabs section and ask there. 😁

Overhead power cable? I still think this bridge is a great piece of engineering mind you.

This one @Andyjr1515? It's missing the pics now.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's bass. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife's bass, nor his male or female XLR connectors, his amp or his pedal board, nor any gear that belongs to your neighbour. Just Rock What You Got and shake the mountains! " *The distinctly unauthorised EADG version.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Wikimedia. I wish it was, but this is mine. Less glamorous, but carries a lot more stuff.

It's a shooting brake. 👍

There's an M.Phil thesis in that.

It's amusing to talk to my children in their late teens early 20s. They weigh in kg, measure in metres, drive in miles, run in km, drink in pints and have no idea what inches or ounces are. I measure as above, except I estimate people in feet and inches, babies in pounds and basses in kg.

I was irrationally excited to play Em in a song last March 😁

YT will apply all sorts of compression and eq. If your license allows then livestream a reference track that you can compare to the original, both on typical laptop/TV speakers and the church PA. If needs be you might need a separate feed or mix to the stream with different eq.

300 people allowed in church. Ah, those were the days!

We will restart bands in November. The church is taking a very, very, cautious approach. Interesting responses from the different bands. One is desperate to get back in, play live warts and all. One wants to start with just a couple of members so that they can ensure they sound good live and streamed before they bring the rest in, and one leader just likes working in the studio and isn't in a hurry to get back. Frankly I want to be back playing, but it won't happen as I'm the person who has set up all the video and livestream, so until and unless I can hand that over I'll be behind the tech desks.

Do we know anyone who grew the tree for the wood and smelted the steel for the strings?

This thread ^^^^ has a man rolling his own capacitors!!
