OK, not really... but I would like to post some video of me playing my favorite music for friends and family, and you guys of course.
So I've done the requisite searching and have some ideas but nothing concrete. I'm kinda hoping that you all can lead me down the right path based on what I have in terms of resources.
Kit: TD-10 (w/ VEX) for drums and percussion/ TD-3 Cymbals - patched together with a Behringer mixer
2 Pd 120
2 pd 100
2 Cy8 crashes
cy5 HH
FD8 Controller
KD 85 Bass
Pintech PC 14 ride
2 (new old stock!) Pd 7's (percussion/splash/china)
all crammed onto a MDS-8 rack - its at its limit!!!
I bought the Cakewalk USB Kit so that I could download the VEX upgrade for the TD-10 and so I have MIDI to USB for the laptop. I also have just about every conceivable splitter, wire or adapter to make all the connections.
I generally play thru the headphones although I do have an Alesis SUMO amp behind the kit too. Sony MDR- V6 (20 years old and still perfect)
I subscribe to Rhapsody Music thru Best Buy and can access lots of music albeit not drumless. I just try to outplay the recording drummer, stay in time and have fun.
I have the Cakewalk music creator 3 software but everytime I run thru the tutorials I tuck my tail and run away wimpering from technology overload. I don't really want to learn to be a sound engineer but I would like to put together some content that's just a grade above the usual YouTube BS.
I'm considering either buying a sub $300 buck recorder from GC to do the audio portions (modules and mix in) and then splicing to video or getting a Canon camcorder that has a mic in (mixer in in my case) feature. I just don't know if the audio would suffer in that case. I'm also wondering if I should just nut up and learn the Cakewalk MIDI music maker program and succumb to full on edrum geekdom. Oh and I work for a living too so I'm not sure if that last option is meaningful.
If I ever figure this out, I'd just like to host some movies on my ISP for simple entertainment even if my own... I'll work on lighting last -
Thoughts? TIA
