I'm really trying to get into nailing colour grading - it proper difficult! I don't proclaim to be a pro by an means but am enjoying the learning and experimentation with the gear that I've got. I'm quite pleased with a couple of the angles on the above but again, when you only got 8 bit video to work with, there's only so much you can do. The GoPro is especially difficult as the footage is overly saturated and sharp - the exact opposite that you need for that cinematic feel that I am striving for (and don't even get me started on frame rates!) The GoPro was the drummers so I don't know what can be done in terms of dropping the saturation and sharpness... I think I've heard of it being able to be done. My GoPro is so old it's pretty basic on the options... and it's low light capability is pretty tragic. Looks Great! what editing software are you using? Quote

EBS_freak Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 @dave_bass5 Thanks again for the LUTs. I've been looking at that new 360/4k/Leica mod camera. Looks to be a nice piece of kit. Will look forward to seeing the footage from it. Slight reservations over the file format and the included software but time will tell I guess. That Leica addition is a nice touch though - although is it case of just dropping the Leica name into the game? Can it really deliver the good? What's next? The Hasselblad GoPro? Or maybe they'll be on the phone to Mamiya? 1 Quote

King Tut Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Here's Stray at The 100 Club with 'I Believe It'. Bass isn't very clear in the mix but I'm using a Bugera Veyron T 6 Quote

Al Krow Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 @King Tut - disagree, the bass sounds just great through a decent pair of headphones The whole mix is very well balanced - what was the sound recorded through? And frankly you guys are great - would love to see you play live next time you're playing in London and my lot are not! 1 Quote

Funny abut the recording, a guy called Alex Cohen (Alex Humbug) approached us at the gig and asked if he could record it. His hobby is recording/collecting/trading live band recordings. He set up at the back of the room with a pair of mics into a portable recorder and did his stuff. Our keyboard player sprinkled some magic dust on it afterwards and voila!. We're co-headling The Garage with Ken Pustelnik's Groundhogs on 12 March! 1 Quote

I find with gig recordings is not always what he hope it sounds like, but if it works it works. Edited January 11, 2020 by dave_bass5 1 Quote
Al Krow Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) 12 March is a Thursday, right, KT?

Thursday's are our rehearsals nights, its normally the only night we are all free. As long as we arent gigging that weekend i can cancel it. Not been to the Garage for well over 20 years (although we drive past it going to rehearsals). Last band i saw there was Cutting Crew, around the time Died in your arms was in the charts. 2 Quote

Frank Blank Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Quite a while back, 2012 maybe? Anyway, just discovered this... Quote
Al Krow Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Nice one, Frank. Are you playing similar material 8 years on? (I know!). And other than become a conniesseur of ACG basses, has your sound changed / evolved in a particular direction? Quote

And other than become a conniesseur of ACG basses, has your sound changed / evolved in a particular direction? Not now, the band in the video packed it in in the late nineties. That particular video was a one-off get together to support our (then) local music venue (The Square in Harlow). I currently play in a duo with a woman who sings and plays acoustic guitar, we write originals but obviously it’s way removed from the thrash nonsense above. We recorded and filmed eight or nine tracks back in December, I’ll post some once they are mixed/edited. Having said that I am currently in discussions with a guitarist I used to be in a band with thirty eight (christ) years ago, hoping to get some kind of slow dub/noise thing underway, obviously if it gets underway I’ll post about it on here. 1 Quote
