Posted by: skennington Oct 17 2008, 05:30 AM
Guess I'll be the first to upload something...You guys don't be to hard on me.. 
Great backing Ivan, I had quite a bit of fun with it. Kept the file size down during the render so hope the vid works in your mix.
EDIT: Here's my mp3 files Ivan..

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 17 2008, 08:30 PM
Hey, this turned out awesome, can't wait to see other takes as well!
Great job guys, we should do video collabs more often
Posted by: kaznie_NL Oct 18 2008, 10:49 AM
What's the best way to shoot video? first make your audio song and then make a video? Or just video every try? I normally have around thirty shots, before I have something
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 19 2008, 11:40 PM
You can try to prepair something first and then shoot it, or just play it and don't worry. It's all up to you mate
Posted by: Velvet Roger Oct 20 2008, 02:52 PM
Here is my contribution. I loved playing over it (especially with my new toys ). Still having some troubles getting the same sound on the recording compared to the 'real sound', but I was fairly happy with the end result.
If you need the orginal sound files with/without backing as well, just give a shout as I have them readily available. EDIT: already uploaded them as well
Looking forward to your comments

Hi Ivan,
I think you need and audio file and a video file, right?
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 20 2008, 06:14 PM
Sure audio file would be very nice, so I can level up everything, but it is not an obligation. Since this is the first video collab, we'll keep things simple, one video, and audio if you can.

Great take leedbreak, and a nice guitar man
Posted by: Toroso Oct 23 2008, 01:36 PM
Yeah, been sniffin around those Schecters for a while now. Jonesin'
Posted by: leedbreak Oct 23 2008, 02:36 PM
Thanks,
Yeah thats my second Schecter set it up myself, me proud.
Plus, it was just $200 and a trip to the local pawn shop.
Posted by: kaznie_NL Oct 24 2008, 06:54 PM
Hey Ivan, here's my take! I managed to combine a sound take with my video, so you don't have to mix anymore!
I found this one prety hard to play over, because it was so slow!!! My solution was playing standing, I can't play fast when standing
Also I wanna ask you if you can see anything wrong about my picking hand, I've had some little pains lately, and that's not good for a 14 year old 
cya!
EDIT: Pls cut out the last bit! it's just shutting of the camera

Hey man, I'm very sorry to say I can't do this now.. I hurt my fingers while playing basketball so no guitar playing for me for a couple of days. :-/
But good luck guys and cool playing!

Here is my take. Just recorded it. I had a lot of fun putting some ideas together. Great first experience with collaborations.
However, I can´t give you an audio file without backing track because then I´d have to record myself again, without backing track and it would sound wrong. Sorry about this. 
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 25 2008, 03:46 PM
Thanks for the takes OC and Tolek, and don't worry about audio Tolek, this one should do the job nicely
Posted by: Tolek Oct 25 2008, 03:47 PM
Ok. I´m really happy this isn´t a problem.
Posted by: coffeeman Oct 25 2008, 04:23 PM
Hi Ivan,
here is my take, sorry for starting before the first beat.
@ Kaz Beautiful guitar man , and your picking technique has improved a lot
@ OC Great take man
Edit: I changed the video file

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 25 2008, 04:36 PM
Cheers. I checked your vid out and the video played weirdly for me. It played sped up with crackling. Hopefully this is just my pc being silly. I listened to Audio though and your tone is great. I wish I could get that really smooth sound. Awesome guitar also
Posted by: skennington Oct 25 2008, 05:12 PM
Wow! great takes guys! I feel I have failed in comparison... Might need to work on this one again.. 
@ coffeeman, when I downloaded your vid, I only got the audio for some reason..
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 25 2008, 05:12 PM
Might need to work on this one again.. @ coffeeman, when I downloaded your vid, I only got the audio for some reason..
I got sped up video and bad audio. So maybe he used an odd codec?
Posted by: coffeeman Oct 25 2008, 06:57 PM
Hi guys,
I change the file , please let me no if this one is working.
Thanks.
@ OC , if you use gearbox I can send you the patch Im using , its one of Marcus Lavendell.
Posted by: Tolek Oct 25 2008, 07:18 PM
It isn´t still working.
Posted by: coffeeman Oct 25 2008, 07:24 PM
Thats very strange it works perfect on my computer, I added a mpeg file I hope it works.
Posted by: skennington Oct 25 2008, 07:24 PM
I'm still only getting audio coffeeman
Posted by: coffeeman Oct 25 2008, 07:26 PM
With the mpeg file too ? only audio ?
Posted by: skennington Oct 25 2008, 07:29 PM
with mpeg, now only video..
Posted by: coffeeman Oct 25 2008, 07:34 PM
with mpeg, now only video.. I'll edit the video in vegas and lets see what happends.
I changed it again.
Ok i give up , I'll fix it tomorrow.
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 25 2008, 08:40 PM
No need to fix it, it's OK on my PC coffeeman. Cheers mate
Posted by: Tolek Oct 25 2008, 08:52 PM
I´ll do a new video tomorrow. I talked a bit with Pedja who gave me some advice. I´ll turn down the volume of my guitar a bit and play a bit cleaner.
So, I´ll update it tomorrow.
Posted by: superize Oct 25 2008, 09:19 PM
I also heard your video coffe

@OC: That tone is wicked!!
Posted by: audiopaal Oct 26 2008, 06:55 PM
Hello fellow bluesers
After a few runthroughs, I recorded my first ever take on blues!
Or cowboyblues if you will (you'll see what I mean soon enough )
Not too shabby for being my first try at blues, but not as goos as some of you experienced Bluesers
Here ya go:

Posted by: Tolek Oct 26 2008, 06:56 PM
Your takes are really cool, guys!
Today, I tried to do a new video, but I played a lot of mistakes and left it. So, no update.
Audiopaal, I downloaded the avi-file, but there´s no video.

Oh crab, I'll upload another later then...
edit: Works very well with my videoplayer (VLC: www.videolan.com), if you want to see it

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 26 2008, 08:46 PM
Great takes guys AudioPaal and Andrew, and very interesting camera work Andrew
For all participants:
I can see the video and hear the audio on all takes, and will code them with a well known codec like Xvid so I think everybody should be able to watch it no troubles.
Posted by: skennington Oct 26 2008, 08:50 PM
Sorry Ivan and the rest of you guys, I had to give this one another go using my new used guitar...
No audio file on this one, just off the seat of my pance with the cam on. Used which ever take you like Ivan.. I prefer this one.. Although it is a larger file, but better quality.
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 26 2008, 10:11 PM
This other video is pretty cool mate, so I'll use this one if you don't mind
Posted by: skennington Oct 26 2008, 10:19 PM
I was hoping you would..
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 26 2008, 10:23 PM
You got it then
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 27 2008, 05:56 PM
Little note, I'm starting to do the final mix in about 6 hours, so anybody wanna record something, now is the perfect time. Thanks
Posted by: Gus Oct 27 2008, 08:36 PM
I am warming up and then shooting it out
Posted by: Tolek Oct 27 2008, 08:38 PM
When will you post the final mix?
Posted by: DeepRoots Oct 27 2008, 09:59 PM
im posting mine in a few seconds!! (sorry for delay)
OKay here we go:

(sorry about size of wavs, im on a new computer and haven't got round to grabbing a lame encoder yet)
Posted by: Gus Oct 27 2008, 10:03 PM
Hi Ivan. Here is my take.
I used windows movie maker and only thing I did was replacing and synchronizing audio and video. So can you please remove the coke bottle at the lower left when editing the video?

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 27 2008, 10:21 PM
Thanks Ivan - it took me several hours to string those big treble cleffs up and I did 93 takes before I could get them to rotate in sync ...
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 27 2008, 10:23 PM
don't tell me - you used electromotors on the ceiling?
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at least.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 27 2008, 10:29 PM
I think Andrew is trying to win a Grammy
Awesome video
Posted by: Smells Oct 27 2008, 11:20 PM
nah he`d walk the grammies
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 30 2008, 11:16 PM
Uhmm guys, I'm posting here, cause on the other topic I'm currently uploading a 130MB rar file of the final mix video, which is 160MB uncompressed. SO just wanna tell you that here, cause I don't wanna ruing the upload there. On my adsl line it will take me 3 hours to upload that kind of a file. But nevertheless, I will wait until it's finished, roughly in 1.5 hours from now, and post everything on the FINAL MIX topic.
Again sorry, for the delay, just wanted to make this collab a bit special for all of us. Thank you
Posted by: superize Oct 30 2008, 11:19 PM
Take your time......No rush
Posted by: skennington Oct 30 2008, 11:23 PM
It's more like Thank You Ivan! I'm sure it will be great and I can't wait to see it! 
Posted by: audiopaal Oct 30 2008, 11:25 PM

Don't say you're sorry mate! You're doing a great job
Can't wait to see it
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 31 2008, 12:20 AM
Well it seems that I have some bad news, I can't upload the file for some reason now, it got stoped for some reason 5 minutes ago
I'm starting to upload a smaller resolution file that has 80MB, and will try again with bigger one tomorrow morning. It will take 2 hours
Posted by: skennington Oct 31 2008, 01:01 AM
Do Instructors have upload limit on the forum?
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 31 2008, 01:03 AM
Well yes, but it's quite big, so I don't think that is the problem. All of a sudden the upload stopped, but the "uploading" status was still one in the attachment section, like the upload is still on. So I left it like that for 10 minutes and then realized it stucked somehow, don't know what could be the problem.
I'm currently uploading the low res video of the collab, it is 80MB rar file, so it should be there in ~40 minutes..
Posted by: skennington Oct 31 2008, 01:38 AM
I figured you guys had a huge limit but you are quite active Ivan so I was unsure and grateful at the same time!
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 31 2008, 01:45 AM
Well this thing has been downloading for nearly 2 hours now. It should be over soon I guess
