xKnuckles Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 ....... I always record my audio on a separate device if possible, in order to get better quality .... Yes, me too!...I posted a short You Tube video a while back in response to someone who had recorded a video using the camcorder microphones, and had been disappointed (understandably) with the results. I used free video software (Virtualdub) to replace the audio with a .wav file recording made on a separate recorder, and uploaded the video file with it's new .wav audio track to You Tube (The clip is here: - only about a minute long - sorry about the keyboard playing! ) ) The audio has thus only been converted once from its .wav original -- by You tube itself It's not that difficult to replace the audio track on a video - It is made a lot simpler if the original video and the separate audio track have a 'clapper' reference at the start .( 'clapper boards' are pretty standard in the film industry , where the audio is nearly always recorded separately). As I say I use the free video app. Vitrtualdub to do it. Your video is great - thank you for sharing it: I really enjoyed it. I guess I am wanting to do it the most difficult way because I want all the key clicks etc as well as the excellent sound... I like the extra atmosphere which those noises give to a live recording... I have devised my own clapper board by playing some widely spaced notes and tapping my shoulder at the start of each recording. It does make it much easier to line everything up later. Thanks for mentioning virtuallab....I will look it up. Quote "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!" Bluzeyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xKnuckles Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 I must take a moment to thank Biggles once more for pointing me in the direction of DaVinci Resolve. I have had a good session with it now and it is incredible. Light years better than Scowl Director. And it is indeed free!! I would strongly recommend any of you who are interested in making videos to check it out. It does things which I would not have believed were possible with video! THANK YOU BIGGLES!! :) Quote "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!" Bluzeyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
