Send me questions! Mr Parsley & Access Virus

[realguy640]

when doing splits - how do you do volume control on each zone you are playing on -for example - lower volume on the bass and higher on the lead. Do you have to save the combo to do this, even then- how to you set the volume for 1 zone - this is never in the manual and learned how to do this on the Korg m1 through a video. Please help. thanks. - Mike

[VloggerUnknown]

How did getting Questions go :D

[TubirubiAnimation]

what are the program in: 0:56 ?

[Bleatzy]

Hey James i find really interesting the way you make your music, i would like to give it a try. What kind of vst do you use? or what program? could you tell me? or all those effects comes with your keyboard?

[ChriyR]

lol Reason is AWESOME !!! I made something like that ... Pretty Scary,Also how do you get Vox on Reason

[audibleobsession]

you bought the 61 key access virus TI and all you knew about it was that "it's used an awful lot in trance music"

WOW! Wish I had that kinda of money to buy a $3000 synth without researching it...

[AmericanAussie12]

what program do u use?

[ReyalPgnoG]

Can you write a song about me? ;)

[cyiu888]

how do i view chinese characters in youtube?

[Midnightryder7]

Do your parents watch your videos?...do they help you with them?..and last why don't you put them in your videos?

[mattt4eva]

do u think ur an inspiration to other people?

[goofball223]

Hopefully you can see this and comment. I have reason and a brand new sound card but my keyboard is still the first one I bought back in 1994. What should I get if I can't afford a Virus (about $3000 US).  What features should I look for? Thanks.

Oh, and there is such a difference in the HD video quality. It sounds better too, but maybe thats just me.

PS> agreed the parsley snippet doesnt fit the song but hey maybe a new song is in order? The evil parsley posse???

[MissJagUR]

Hi James! I see your point about the Mr.Parsley 'dark' bit but I think it would have added some very interesting variety and made us appreciate the lighter bits even more. Can you do another full version? Love the music, as always.

[trainlova12]

how do u make your voice all cool and futuristic

[CorrieThomasRowe]

Are you and J1J8 going to make another video together? :)

[j1j8]

yes james are you??

[mattt4eva]

got another one...

how on earth did u manage to create mr parsley?

it must have taken ages

[mattt4eva]

what age did u start making videos for youtube?

love the outakes!

AL' RIGHT GEEZAS

[Annaconda1984]

another question (-: do you have 3 (or more???) nipples? (like mark wahlberg does) -

[Annaconda1984]

my question is: why do you never go live on stickam or blogtv (i remember you went live once or twice on stickam where you preformed your music live-> and I really enjoyed it)

So it would be awesome to see you live more...

Also would you be interested in being in one of my upcoming poetry collaborations? You hardly ever collaborate with other youtubers...

[StickyNoted]

just curious, how did you get into stop-motion? was it just a class project or do you really like it better than digital? i must say my favorite video is the fishcakes. being a culinary student i sing that all the time when we're working with fish. i get annoying sometimes i suppose. :P

[jacehinesly]

How do you make a living?

[Elavid]

I have a question! What model of camcorder did you use to make this video? It looks great.

[Elavid]

Never mind, your website says it's a Panasonic DVX 100b.

[Keresism]

Watching this video cured my hiccups momentarily.

I love Mr. Parsley... :)

[mrkmur]

you sound EXACTLY like rachel allen :L

[TimLake]

How did you get Mr Parsley to kind of wilt and did you go through tons of pots of it or did you just plan each bit carefully so cutting it up was the last thing you did etc.

[BabyEater585]

why did you think that that part of mr.parsley was too dark? dark is ok, i play guitar, and my music is fairly dark yet jazzy. dark jazz.

[azulHYDproductions]

Question of the year:

Do you like pancakes?????

XD

P.D. Make more videos about pancakes please, because I love them!!!

[britindus]

James your hilarious . enjoy the virus its a beast! so.... now your degree is done .. what are your going to do ... put some of these creative skills together and use them or be a boring programmer?! btw ... how do you come up with ace tracks like pancakes or that virus song ... wicked!

[serpenthya]

Will you make more "cooking with Dave" videos?

Are you single? just wondering :P

[JamesMorlan]

I'd like to know all about the software you showed in this video and what you would recommend as far as a setup for someone who wants to get into creating music with a synth - hardware and software.

[lifeonMars95]

I dont think you're creative any more.. 

( I know I will get 400 thums down )

[MaPhoneDude]

hi,

i've always wanted to know what software you use to make your stop-motion videos, so if you could give a brief outline of that, i'd really appreciate it.

from nick w

[tehneobiker1]

First magical question, have you... Poked a llama? 2nd, how'd you get the parsley to move? :\

[becolt]

Ok, you should ALWAYS have a blooper reel!

So, questions... The vocoding sounds perfect, is that a standard set up with or did you compress in-between the instruments/vocoder? Are you using a clip of you Singing "mr. parsley" or just speaking it?

[anmag94]

2:44 is SO FUCKING FREAKING FUNNY!! It's gives me a good laugh everytime! xD

[scottklaw]

You make awesome video's.

[plan7a]

Rik says: Great video as always James, the only question that springs to mind at the moment is - what came of the interest from the news etc? Have the offers continued and have you taken any of them up? Thank you.

[philos27G]

What program do you use to create the music?

[SOIAx11x]

Wicked!

[bloodyrain414]

my question is in pancakes how in the world do u make alll that stuff move without touching things....?

[xandra118]

hi!

my question is: how long you delay in making your videos? and all those videos of stop motion done alone? (sorry for my bad english)

[nowhereboy]

Question: Why did you not show your face in "I'm addicted to You Tube"? Were you shy? Do you still watch all day? Do you still watch all night? Do the furries still play on your keyboard, or have they been relegated to the back of the attic?

[robertbadgio]

thats alot of questions.

[daracallinan09]

bloopers are funny

[christei2]

I like the dark parsley song. Bloopers rock

[msboku]

How did you make the plants move? not watering them then watering them?

[dwighthine]

Do you use only midi when recording your songs?

[pepsipopup]

kaithxbai

[Marcel72O]

Hi James,

I am such a fan of your videos and music. Also what is the name of the program you use to edit your music? It looks VERY complicated.

[ambiamusic]

I can answer that one Marcel, it's Reason 4.

[procyonuk]

Oh you git. I've always always wanted an Access Virus... for an example of how awesome it is, check out my favourite album of all time.. 'Empires' by VNV Nation.

The entire thing was composed on just that one synth.. and its AWESOME.

[kabuto444]

OH! bye

[tiger7577]

What are the advantages of Reason 4 over version 3? I see the new Thor plugin as well, what is that? My old favorite NN-XT is still in, I see. What else can 4 bring that 3 doesn't have?

[jamin3d]

When will the Seagulls video be finished? I loved the promo!

[latinbrownie]

haha true but i like it. still, it would have creeped me out that parsey was tryin' to haunt me in my dreams :P

[Tribune12345]

How old were you when you made the original pancakes video?

Also, why are you so awesome?

[ulupong1]

do you watch anime?

[gillian927]

How did you make mr. parsley dance?

[jesusfreakmusic]

already asked him on msn, didn't got an answer so far...

but appereantly he worked on my questions in this way? :P

[EllenRebecca3]

Having heard the 'darker' part of the Mr. Parsley theme, would you consider using that - or making a new dark theme - for a Halloween stop-motion video, using Halloween props? :-)

[awesomefrog1]

what did you do with all of that parsley??

[ohmydinosare]

I dabble in stop-motion, and I was wondering how many frames you use per second?

[Cheezeman1993]

I got a nice question:

You got any good tips on how to make stop-motion videos?

[C0ldking]

erhm... what Music editing software was this ?

[luckylukas4]

Good question!

[myrtorp]

He is using Reason 4, which is an exellent software, I use it myself.

and on to the question, How long have you been using Reason 4?

[VicRattlehead6655]

Yay, do some what the FAQ videos :D

[shawgirl57]

i like to see more outtakes :D plus my question is how did you make mr parsley move up and down????

[ellyandmae]

do you just take a load of pics and put them together, but if you did that would use like 10000000000000000000000 pics and the batry would run out anyhoo

MAKE MORE VIDS!

[sce4da]

[Budgiekens]

I'm pretty sure your carpet has changed color three times in the last three years... why?

Yeah, I made one up as you instructed and it's random!

[anmag94]

Like the part were you'd burped! You're so freaking amazing and funny! xD

Anyway... here is my question!

I wondert if you could make some segments of you burping, and then mix them together... No! I did acqually kidding! xD

Well! Here is my REAL question!

Well... I want you to make a video about yourself! like what you're doing in the morning and what you're doing the whole day! It would being really interesting to see for some peoples i think. xD

[titch2000]

[kukelz]

[orju]

stag or the burnett ?

[PessimisticEscapist]

What's your favorite GIR quote?

Btw, love the dark version of Mr. Parsley. :)

[huskybites]

what software is used for vid editing and making the tunes for the video's? many thanks.

[comedyhunter]

Mr Parsley-How are you making the Parsley move up and down, Im guessing that you have used a timelapse camera to take a sequence of photographs first of them dropping due to lack of water then you have given them a good drink and filmed them again of them perking up, or probably just reversed the frame sequence to get the moving up sequence.

P.S. When you said too dark I thought you meant exposure but I see what you mean now, Perhaps a keep this for a Halloween version of Mr Parsley

Andy

[FunnyBoysFilms]

Thanks comedyhunter, both of those comments were the same as I was going to write, may work is done :-) you beat me too it.

[nacholu28]

*Mr. Pumpkin Likes to dance*

[Selofain]

I'm sure any question I want to ask has already been asked, so I'll just say this.

I love your accent. I know, I'm shallow, but MAN that accent.

[BlackGnosis]

last thing, are you using THOR for that gritty bass lead?

[rpmcentire]

Reason 4 and a Virus, I'm impressed. Do you trigger the Virus with Reason? I've never attempted that, and don't know how hard it is.

[BlackGnosis]

sorry forgot my question, are you going to take advantage of the virus's multi-timbral controls? I use a second keyboard with mine to get more sounds out of it at once :D

[thecowscumhome]

You have lots of sheep vids. Do you like cats?? And will you ever make a video about them?

[h3r35j0nnY]

holy crap. that's a LOT of synths in Reason.. Jeez.. I WANT A VIRUS TI NOW!!

[SVMishler]

How long does it take you to make an average length video from start to finish? Do you have a favorite part of the process?

And also want to say I love your videos! You are an inspiration!

[syntheticjesso]

My question: Will you marry me?

(Translation: I love your videos and think you're adorable but I don't really have anything useful or productive to ask)

[HockeyDiane]

I second this ;D ahaa.

[duybo]

I third this :D

But I am a guy (Not Homo :) )

[101xfmrogers]

????????Are you going to do more synth improv videos with Mike (groovymike83)????????? In my opinion I really liked the late night improv. and the four hands one keyboard. Part 2:00-2:50 of the late night improvisation part2 is really GooD!!

[Aqlex]

Why aren't you wearing a kilt?! You're living in Scotland! Get with the times!

[xXMASTERxXCHEIFxX]

Do you make this video for high people becasue i was stoned out of my mind and i watched this video

[VoyagesInEnglish]

[dagnabbitrabbit]

I forget, what country are you from?

Signed,

Always Enjoy Your Videos in the USA

[wilson1988]

Not sure if you've answered this before, but what software and hardware do you use to produce your music?

[darkein]

Welcome to the access virus club! Trust me, once you start playing on it - you will love.

I have had mine for a little over a year now, and It was so worth the money =]

Looking forward to your test run on the TI

Darkein

[ScotsmanRS]

What instruments do you play, and how long have you played them for? Do you play any Scottish music?

And an unrelated question - how long do you spend on each video (including developing the ideas, composing music, shooting, recording, editing, etc.)?

Thanks! I hope at least something out of that gets answered! :)

Richard

[Fynarra]

[shadowofnight242]

[oh2sail]

Omagod, I just realized you made Mr. Parsley dance by underwatering and then refreshing? So it's like torture? Or maybe like a yoyo diet of water?

[GiR2007]

uhm.... haha, I guess so :P

[oh2sail]

So Mr. Parsley was dancing... l(DUM dum dum duuuuum) for his LIFE! mwah-ha-ha

[crazyeye0]

So, like I've been asking.

Would you actualy make a Mr Parsley animated GIF I could use as an avatar on forums? I would love that =P

[NamidaKotoko]

Can you describe how much you like or don't like pancakes?

[ScreamingTantrum]

How did you find out about stop-motion animation? Or, What decided you to make stop-motion and music your hobby!?

[Reijerkolle]

you are bad at talking to the camera. its awkward

[GiR2007]

well, it doesn't come as naturally as it does to sxephil, but I'm trying.

[Reijerkolle]

Sorry, i didnt think you would actually read that. I understand that its hard, i would probably be terrible.

But seriously, watching your original videos like 3 years ago got me into using Reason 3.0 and ultimately many other advanced computer programs.

Please keep up with your talent for music and videos, i really enjoy everything you make.

I wonder how many days it takes to make that Mr Parsley rise up! You are a genius.....and that DARK part, put it back in the revised of the original Mr P.
