I recorded everything on Reaper in about 12 tracks, did some fast sound post processing then spent about 2 hours on the video bringing it all together in DaVinci Resolve Studio.  The video was done in one take and the audio was done in 4 takes.  Man, recording audio only sure is easy and fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">All those hours of playing and futzing in DaVinci Resolve and Reaper  are finally starting to show, because it was fast and painless compared to my efforts from the past, and the results, honestly impress me.  I really started getting a bit more comfy in Davinci Resolve&#8217;s FUSION page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fusionmagic.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1338\" height=\"803\" src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fusionmagic.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1721\" srcset=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fusionmagic.jpg 1338w, http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fusionmagic-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/fusionmagic-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1338px) 100vw, 1338px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, I&#8217;ve avoided Fusion because it was very heavy for the computer to lug through.  With the new computer, it is a lot easier but still intense&#8230; but the results are just undeniable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The video was exported twice, with and without accompaniment.  I made one video with both versions together for the accordion forum club.  The video posted below is just the final multi-track video for my YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OK, here is the video&#8230; ENJOY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LaPaloma\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8_1U24jSaco?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">A little easter egg&#8230; I purposely did NOT wear shoes and even turned up the pant cuffs of my jeans, and it&#8217;s clearly visible at the start of the video.  It&#8217;s just a joke, because my friend Ed once complained that I made a tech video in my socks&#8230; well, here is another one, Ed!  \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">My one challenge with this video were my hands\/wrists.  I had a good amount of pain while playing that just did not want to go away.  Oh well, a foreshadow of of the future I guess.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ADDENDUM January 16, 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Yeah&#8230; I am not completely happy with the final way that I mixed this song.  I&#8217;ll leave the La Paloma video on YouTube, but I think that I will work on it a little more, then post it here in this post at a later time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I am finding that I feel that the volumes of the organ and xylophone sounds are a bit too low and the accordion a <strong>touch<\/strong> too high and I am also not loving the overall EQ.  I also feel that there could be a bit more contrast in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Let me be clear, the video is good enough for where I placed it&#8230; I just am finding things I could improve on, even though all those changes are really really minor&#8230; I am just letting me be me and nit-picking.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe this weekend I will make the minor improvements as I like and post it here in this blog post just for me.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ENJOY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first video of 2023, and its AWESOME, here is that story. &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/la-paloma\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">La Paloma<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":2,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-videos","category-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1719\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
