Jabonator's Piano Covers - Page 5 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Nothing special about it, I just didn't notice you using it. Could be the audio though. Basically, just try to keep it legato with the help of the pedal, so there aren't any unnecessary pauses.

I think it's mostly a problem with the recording process. I've recorded some stuff that sounds kinda similar to kelley's video, despite being a pretty heavy sustain pedal user. Just need a better microphone or something

With a different kind of approach, bringing the tempo down, playing it as a lullaby type of a song.

Awesome, but what's what weird popping sound coming through in the audio? I thought it was bad sound equipment on my laptop so I ran it through my external firewire sound processor and good headphones and get the same issue.

I wouldn't bitch, but it sounds like I have a blown speaker when the pops hit and it takes me out of listening.

I don't know. I guess my recording equipment needs some improving. In the first videos I'm using my standard Panasonic digital camera. Recently I've been using a Sony HD video camera. I'm trying to record the audio with a seperate microphone in the future.

Currently working on November Rain by Guns N Roses. 8 minutes of epicness, I'd say. Just needs a lot of practice with the guitar solos, and trying to make the whole song without messing up.

That's how I record stuff (well, in theory if I had a camera anyway), camera captures the video and the audio goes directly into the computer, then I merge the two files afterwards. Works very well I think, sound comes out great.

Here's that November Rain cover I was talking about, finally got the guitar solo down. Still with the same old crappy audio, though. :/

I think that more distance between the keyboard and the mic would kill the pops. I think pop filters are to prevent exactly that.

If I were recording this I'd get audio directly from the midi/usb/whatever output to the computer, and then not use the audio from the video track at all. I have no idea how to do that on a PC, so it might end up being complicated.

But yeah, you really do a great job of playing.

Hey Jabonator, nice thread! I especially enjoyed your rendition of Like Spinning Plates! I wish I was as prolific as you...

I thought I'd add my own humble contribution for everyone, a version of the Dirty Projectors "Two Doves" I worked out a couple years ago. I didn't have time to cop the nice string intro, but hopefully you guys like it anyway.

You can do what Duke describes in something as basic as Windows Movie Maker. I had never used it before and figured it out in less than 5 minutes, it's no problem.

Jabonator, I've been on the fence, but you made me a fan with your cover of U2s Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own.

Kidding about the being on the fence part. Excellent covers. I am browsing your collection right now. OMG is that a Kelly Clarkson cover?!?!

Lol, yeah, I did a Kelly Clarkson cover at some point. Not my favorite artist, but the song translates well to piano.

Sia - Breathe Me

This time recorded the audio with a mediocre microphone. No pops.

Haven't figured out the direct audio yet.

nice! Love Sia. Doesn't seem to be that difficult of a piece to learn, either.

No. The pattern for the song is quite simple, so you can make a version of your own and determine the difficulcy to suit yourself.
