Hi David,
for me is something like that. Sometimes I record the guitar track before, only with metronome. After that, I compose the backing track so I can experiment different solutions. -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

I usually program the whole backing track,after I figure out the lesson.
Recording process is similar to your David except I write explanations straight from my head into fields at GMC lesson maker. Actually,uploading takes the most of the time,couple of hours. Recording,editing videos,work in GP,writing scales...maybe 2 hours. But "making" of the lesson varies,from 10 min to whole day,if I'm out of ideas or som.

I first make the lesson on guitar, than tab it. Than later put backing track together. Recording and editing takes me around 6 hours because of all those nasty extra angles. So basically i spend 2 days on 1 lesson (not 48 hours, of course
 ) - 1 day i think of a lesson, tab it and make backing, and next day i record it, edit and upload.

I spend really a lot to prepare a lesson and also usually i make lessons which make it interesting for me to practice before recording.
The worst part is the camera angles. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

It also takes me many time the edition with so many angles. It isn't always the same but commonly it takes me the same time like you Pavel. I take one day to create the lesson with its backing track and the other day I record it. However the last weeks I've began to record two lessons in a day. In this way it takes me between three or four days to finish two lessons. The first day I create them, the second day I record, this same day I edit one of them and on the third day I edit the other lesson. The edition takes time and as I record many angles the files are big and the upload takes many time. I create the GP, explanations and scales the same day that I edit the lesson.

Yeah,used to have really big files,ages to get it all uploaded...
Now I'm using another codec to have bit smaller files,still it takes lot of time but that's part of the job tho.

QUOTE (lavendell @ Oct 5 2007, 10:29 PM) About the upload time. I upload all the vids/parts at the same time... just open new windows in the browser, and it works just fine! Ever since Pavel helped me how to compress the vids (each file is now 5-10Mb) it only takes a few minutes to upload a whole lesson. Thanks Pavel!  -Marcus But uploading files all together takes almost the same time as if you are uploading it one by one,right? I mean,you have current top uploading speed and it calculates how big file/files you're uploading... -------------------- Youtube

Ah right Muris. but they live in Sweden. Kris's internet download speed is 100Mbit if i remember good. So i bet Marcus also has a killer internet speed.
My upload is 384Kbit. So it's 35Kb/s TOP! Takes ages. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Good thing is that you can set all videos to upload and take a coffee break instead of waiting for each video to be uploaded and then signing next one for upload.  I'm doing it that way too but it lasts like when I was uploading one by one,maybe a bit shorter. -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (Wallimann @ Oct 5 2007, 11:04 PM) Thanks a lot for sharing this fellows. Here's another question. Any tips on light? My home is pretty dark and I don't have a ceiling light. Only stand up lights.. Any tips? Day light rules indeed. When I'm recording at sunset or later I use 2 lights, one from the ceiling and another from table lamp in front of me. Still it can't replace day light for sure... -------------------- Youtube

I always record during the day and if it is dark i use the EXPOSURE function on my camera where you can increase or decrease the amount of light. See if you have that function in your camera.

See if you have that function in your camera. Has anyone tried a proper video light? I am thinking of starting some videos when I move to my new house, and I would probably get one of those. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
