karlfer Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yomrq_AgWS4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=yomrq_AgWS4[/url] Somebody recorded our (Troyen) Brofest set, the bands first gig for 33 years. I knew I'd put on some weight, but Jeez, I could be protected by Greenpeace The diet starts tomorrow. Edit. AHAH! Apparently it has been downloaded with an incorrect "aspect". I knew I wasn't quite as wide as a Peterbulit truck Whilst the powers that be (drummer) works on it, the short term solution is to open the link, then click onto the rectangle, 2nd from right, on the bottom toolbar. When it opens, click on "cinema" Then click on the "full screen" Not ideal but slightly less of a hippo.

Lozz196 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thats some backline on that stage Karl, loading in/out must take longer than the gigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kicked our slot off at exactly the same time Newcastle kicked off their second half, a mile away. The monitor output was hopeless, all I could hear was the singists guitar at ear bleed volume. By 20 minutes though, the crowd had come down from the upstairs bar, we were doing my favourite number and I started to enjoy it. Some of the audience were more familiar with the older numbers than I was Thanks all for taking the time and trouble to visit the link Edited April 13, 2015 by karlfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure the video's been uploaded in the wrong aspect ratio - it's too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yes, just look at how stretched the Marshall logos look. It isn't JUST your pie eating habits to blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well I found a short term fix by going to the rectangle, second from right, on the bottom toolbar. Clicking select, then cinema mode. Then clicking the full screen mode. SLIGHTLY less horrifying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I saw a video of my sisters wedding a few years back and in one scene saw the back of a fat bald guy in a navy suit chatting up my missus... Then i realised I'd worn a navy suit ... joined the gym the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There's a free video conversion tool called 'Any Video Converter' where, if memory serves correct, you can specify the aspect ratio (width and height in pixels) of the output file. I've just taken a screen grab of that YouTube video and I found that reducing the width down to 80% of the original size makes everything look better - you can use the speakers in the 4x10 cabinet seen behind your guitarist as a guide to when you've got the width correct (when those speakers look round not oval).

karlfer Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks chaps. It appears that it was a bit better than I thought. It's only a part time project, next two aren't until May, one with Sacrilege and then the Rourke's Drift rally. Thank God I have the covers band to pay for the GAS I don't have The Limelight went to a good home . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I went as far as 65% of the original width and it seemed better, too. Any more, and it would become a short-scale bass..! I tried, whilst I was 'at it', to improve the sound quality; a touch of EZMix helps, but there's not much one can do to bring up the bass, unfortunately. There was an improvement, mostly in vocal clarity, but it was never going to rival a 'direct from console' take..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
