Recording yourself while making a tune

[Mordi]

I saw a youtube-video of some guy recording the screen while making a song in Reason. I thought I'd do the same using FL Studio.

Youtube playlist: Making a tune using Audjoo Helix
I only recorded the first hour or so.

Maybe anyone else would be interested to do the same? Would be interesting to watch.

I did it by using these free programs:
CamStudio - to record the screen
Audacity - to record audio
Windows MovieMaker - to sync the audio + video and to render film

Excellent.. Would be nice to have a Tutorial section here, with recordings of studio sessions would give an insight on how the greats here do their work, and might help others streamline workflow etc..

[Mordi]

That would be nice indeed.

I've been looking for a more general tutorial on the basic stuff. Like, how modulation affects certain waveforms and how you can tweak a wave to make specific sounds and whatnot. I guess its the kind of thing you gotta learn from experience.

Wow, I'm awestruck.

For a layman like me it would be even better if you had a mic to record your voice and comment on what you are doing...it all goes so fast!

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't want to waste time for the viewer. :p In hindsight that wasn't such a good idea, especially since the recording area is so small.

Cool This Audjoo Helix looks pretty good...

I like the idea but i have to agree with Robinson that it would be much more informative if you would comment what youre doing...

I could give it a go. There are zero decent screen capture softwares for Mac that are free, but I had already plunked down for one to demonstrate my own music software.

To be honest I couldn't sit through all of Mordi's videos (but what I saw was interesting!), I think I would abridge mine. Narration is a good idea too.

cheers.

Excellent idea, i would love to see more videos on how people make their music.

Would love to see a video of "The Alibi" while is playing in FL.

I maybe crazy or the only who thinks this way, but there is something
magical about watching a Tracker playing a tune as the patterns
and such go across the screen.

Not quite what I promised but this video does show my general sequencing process of record/edit/layer. It's general MIDI so the sounddesign/production technique is absent. But it gives you the idea.

cheers.
