The video and audio are recorded separately in my videos, and so does Setsukyie's video. You can use software to align the two, but you MUST have a common tempo to both for obvious reasons.

FYI I am using a very inefficient way to combine the video (I'm rendering 3D movies!!!)

1. Very few are posting their 'masterpieces' here... we need more videos!!!

2. I'm still practicing Sobakasu, albeit keeps getting interrupted. Heading to sea again tomorrow so

Welcome back Mr. Thalmes! Hope your practice sessions are not interrupted as often

@ultimaweaponx: My open house is at mah offshore platform (for the next 5-7 days). You can come anytime! Make sure you go to that helicopter crash training first

Seriously, that's good singing there... the band playing the music, are they yer band mates?

Eccen can play that song, only need to record him and show it here

Haha... I have returned!!! Do come by to jam... btw, where/with whom did you jam last Saturday?


Lastly, this is an open invitation

Whomever wants to train to be a drummer, my house is open (got drum set)... pm me for address details. I'm in most of the time on weekends EXCEPT when duty calls me.

Youtube is the best teacher . My computer is close to the drums, so you can see/hear the tutorials

Got rhythm bass meh? Anyway I can always move to piano/keyboard... was my original musical instrument anyway. Alas, I don't have one now.

Also, after further analysis Yasashi Uso's drum, while not fast, is still a lot to memorize. After listing a couple of other songs, I'd say Lost My Music has the least drum piece to memorize.

Gomen! This Sat is a bit tight... have 3 Open House invites at three different corners of Klang Valley!!!

Also, I've not nailed Sobakasu yet, only those K-On songs that I've posted here

Hmmm... am around this Saturday early morning and night, and Sunday morning if you want to record yourself and be part of this thread as a video submitter!

That's a very unique setup there.

Well I follow the old school setup where the bass is primarily used to give tone and volume to the drum beat. There are players playing expressive bass, but someone has to cover the low tones - it's either the bass guitar or the synthesizer (keyboard).

Some years ago a jazz orchestra was giving a tutorial at the Petronas Orchestra hall and showed how important it is for the bass and drums to work together because the two forms the basic rhythm - probably more important than even drum + rhythm electric guitar.

Guess that's why it was Mio + Ritsu at the beginning of K-On.

Damn, Stone called and says he wanna practice drum 930am Sat Oct 3 at my place. Well, he'll practice whether or not I'm ready...

Haha... recorded Stone and I playing Drum and Bass for Ash Like Snow... he's about 80% there... playable, but definitely needs more fine tuning to sound good.

But hmmm... need to find way to make the recording sound better... I won't post the recorded video because cellphone microphone just sucks...

For my videos, I just use my cellphone camera - the LG Viewty. At 5MP it's pretty good (640x480 vids for youtube).

For sound I need to find ways to extend the FastTrack M-Audio audio in. I mean, recording the drums is a very tricky business.
a) Any recommendation for input mixers?
b) I also need to buy a special mic to be able to record the bass drum. Normal mics just seem to cut them off.

Wow, this thread really is cool! Thanks for the info!

We're kinda a few steps behind before heading to a studio. Our immediate step is to get one song (most likely Ash Like Snow) played on all instruments, whether independently or as a group (prefer the later).

BTW, where is this studio?

Yes, and you need to come by to be recorded!!!

1. Any day after 8pm, and mornings of Sat and Sun. I ain't going outstation this month. If I'm force to, I'll RAGE!!!!
2. Record any songs that you can play completely - Sobakasu and God Knows for example

Sorry guys, under runny nose and a bit of cough for the past 3 days

By SAE, I hope it's the SAE Institute branch in Subang Jaya, not the SAE in Singapore . But like I said before, we are WAY AWAY from playing for proper recording. 1st step is to get at least a basic band setup playing a certain song, whether as a group or individually (most likely the later)

As discussed with Eccen, there's plans to mob my place this weekend in Kajang. Any musical instrument connectible to an audio cable will be recorded!

In the mean time, enjoy this cover piece by a veteran cover band - Himitsu Heiki (from Philippines). I REALLY envy having that kind of singer... Sobakasu, the way it should be played...

Yeah, singers!!!!

Btw, Eccen, Misao, Ultimaweaponx and Shah raided my place tonight (and probably tomorrow). Recorded Eccen for Sobakasu. Need a bit more pieces to make it a good record.

Well I have an M-Audio FastTrack connected to my PC (hence how I get to record my posted youtube videos). Sound is clean and does not interfere with the music played in the background (for synchronization).


Am lurking for a small mixer to pair with that M-Audio. Then you can ALL play at the same time

As for Sobakasu, at 80% there

1. PM me yer email
2. The more I hear Sobakasu, the more I feel the tabs I'm using is not accurate... well then, my version will have mods... stay tuned as I practice to perfection

It's been while... so here's my cover for Sobakasu...



Next song?
