ped Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi folks, Psychocandy suggested a forum specifically for posting good youtube/google/online videos, and I think it might be a good idea. I can enable HTML posting and have alittle tutorial about how to embed videos, and we can all share fave finds with each other. What do you all think? Good idea? Not worth seperating? Use a sub-forum under 'recording' section? I was thinking a new forum in the 'Performance' section titled: Online video library With the subtext - Share and discuss clips of players doing their thing on youtube/google/online I welcome and look forward to your views..... ped and nel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul, the Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I would have thought more for theory/technique (Dave Marks etc.). Unless I've underestimated the soloist following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 I guess some would count as theory/technique actually - but people could post clips of bands etc too so more of a bass mash up. I guess there could be subdivisions to make different genres/types but if you regiment it too much some parts die off and the forum gets 'buried'.

Buzz Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I thought your 4 string Vigier was more orangy that that ped? or is it the fiver that's got an orange tint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 great point. I'd have stuff to share too. 'though mostly vintage soul I think. Not very visual, but do you all know that Japanese guy who puts scenes of his hometown to vintage soul? I love that guy, he has awesome taste. itp.

It would be quite nice to have a big gallery of good bass clips to watch all in one place, don't you think?[/quote] I guess there's two ways to look at this - one is to approach it from the view of tidy archiving, easier searching, more focused discussion, the other is to consider the whole melting pot of stuff that is collected with bass playing and bundle it all together. That's my inclination but its chaotic nature probably doesn't appeal to anyone running a forum! I'd rather have more traffic in fewer places and more wide ranging discussion, I believe it opens out thinking and results in knowledge and experience becoming more widely distributed. An example - say we're talking about that regular question, "which cab does 30Hz so I can hear my low B string?" To answer that fully you need to actually discuss the nature of sound production on the bass guitar, the effect of string type, scale length and technique amongst other things on the balance of overtones, you need to cover the realities vs the marketing dreams of bass cab specification, and then you might want to open out the thinking to what the main originator of the low B string, Anthony Jackson, is up to - what he's using and an example of his playing. That covers enough ground to need to be in theory & technique, amps and cabs, repairs and technical issues, bass guitars, miscellaneous equipment, and even bass porn. Maybe the answer is to keep the forum for dynamic discussion and start using the wiki for archiving and searching? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 yeh, I think the wiki should be used more. Videos all over the place in whatever forum section could be copied into the wiki in an organised fashion - creating the ordered library of videos, without loads of discussion inbetween them, whilst retaining the random nature of the posts in the general and off topic sections.

ped Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 All well and good but I can't actually do anything with the Wiki and don't really like it much - most people are blissfully unaware of it!! Alex - good points. The nature of different forums is to make certain subjects easier to browse - and the discussion from that point on can rightly cover lots of areas. For example the question about the cab you mention would start in 'Amps and Cabinets' and probably end up talking about something entirely different - but it would at least begin in the right area. The same would be true for a video section I thought - someone could post 'Look at this lesson on floating thumb' and this could sit next to 'Watch this video of my band' et cetera. It would be fun to skip through lots of different videos. Obviously they can be dotted around elsewhere but a kind of 'clip bin' might be a laugh? ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I haven't read all the posts so far, so I apologise if I repeat anything you guys have said already. The one thing that really winds me up, is posts with meaningless titles for videos. Posts called 'check this out' deserve to be deleted lol... The same goes for creating links in posts as well. I would like to see informative titles, such as 'Dan Veall, Licklibrary contributor, intro video' for example. Bnt wrote this excellent sticky on how to create your Your Tube video posts:- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10414&hl=video+youtube"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...l=video+youtube[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 [quote name='ped' post='144430' date='Feb 21 2008, 02:58 PM']All well and good but I can't actually do anything with the Wiki and don't really like it much - most people are blissfully unaware of it!![/quote] Maybe this is something we/you/the mods? should work on. The wiki has a lot of potential to be a knowledge-base, created from posts that can be edited and tidied up. A large percentage of the posts on this board must be at least very informative, and I think it would be great to catalogue this welath of knowledge. I wouldn't want the organisation of the library to impact the way that people actually post, so I think it would be good to develop the wiki. For example, there are loads of stikies, and they all contain informative and useful bits of information. In some of the stikies, there is discussion, and this annoys me because I treat them as pure factual threads where I should be able to find out everything in there on the first page. Obviously this is not what they are, but it's what the wiki could be. Can everyone contribute to the wiki? If when I read a useful/informative post, (or got a good link, or good youtube video) I could just click on a wiki button, and then the post was pasted into a form where I could edit it for spelling mistakes, formatting etc, and then decide what category it should go in for the wiki, I think i'd do it all the time, and so would lots of others. Obviously this might be a bitch to code, I wouldn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phsycoandy Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi all, thanks for the comments, sorry if I sound like a mod! My idea and indeed inspiration for this room, was that I love watching links to threads that feature good players,good tecnnicians,guys with groove etc etc, that I dont have time to surf myself. Thats all that I was looking to achieve. We all have our favourites, but I wasnt looking for another Mark King thrash I was looking for some inspirational videos of players, perhaps young or whatever that made us old gits sit up and take note and perhaps aspire us all to be that bit better. End of rant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantdosleepy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I quite like having youtube videos scattered throughout the site. I'm with Mr Claber in enjoying a larger and more comprehensive 'general' forum rather than subdividing a lot. Also, I feel that a youtube section might end up being a little dry. Does that make sense? I suppose I vote 'no' - keep it the way it is. If people see a video they like, they can add it to their own youtube favourites...

The Burpster Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Youtube is not going away and is becoming an accepted way to get your music out there.....
