Hi everyone,
 
Just finished shooting and editing the first video from my solo album. The track was recorded and mixed in Sonar X1. Mastering in Adobe Audition 3.
 
Guitars were played through a Marshall TSL and miced with an SM57.
Drums - Gretsch Catalina Kit
Bass - DI into a Bass Pod
Keys - Mainly soft synths

For best audio and video quality, please selct 480p in the player settings.
 
Hope you enjoy,
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.

Tough to carry an instrumental track that long, but you brought it off.  Good riffage... cool vid too.  I enjoyed it.

 Really pro work here all round'. The vid was ok too;)

Very solid performances and a sharp video!  Good luck with your album.

Nice Job Peter!!!

Can't fault the playing, tones, performances or video here Peter, all superbly executed. I did feel the tune was stretched a little thin though, by the 4 minute mark it seemed like you were treading water a little.

Really enjoyed the track, great guitar sounds and some really unique progressions.   Great vid also.

Very nicely done.  Best of luck with the album.

Well done. You really are a talented performer. Mix was tight and well produced. Video has some timing issues... hard to say if its the video itself or youtube's often loose synch. I do not know what you encoded this with, but so far the best results for both visual quality and audio synch have come using an mp4 container (fast start enabled), with H264 video compression and PCM audio encoding (IE raw wave) @48khz. XVID is one of the best codecs out there (some feel superior to Quicktime's excellent version), and it is open source, but requires either knowledge of the windows command line, or a front end of some sort. VirtualDub is a good open source front end, but requires some knowledge to use properly (it is a very powerful filtering tool).

Love it! Nice clean arrangements make for nice clean and tight music. Love the funky strat tones interplaying, and those crunchy pauls... yes!

Thank you so much for all of your positive comments and wishes with the album launch. It is much appreciated.
 
@jamesg - I hear what you;re saying but I have to say it was a really fun track to record. The blues harp was added after the initial recordings and some space was made in the track for him.
 
It was something that everyone in the studio enjoyed so we did get a little carried away but we all felt that the vibe more than made up for it. Thanks for the comments though.
 
@foxwolfen - Thanks for listening. The timing issues certainly were not in the original video. It is definitely Youtube that has created those synch issues. The original file was rendered out as an mp4 at high quality in Sony Vegas but of course once Youtube gets hold of it you're kind of at their mercy.
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.
