"Final Countdown" Europe Cover - Jesse Gimbel

Original song by Europe, performed and recorded by Jesse Gimbel. If you like it, subscribe!

All video is from the actual recording. Piano and chord organ were recorded to tape on a Tascam Portastudio 464, which you can see in the video. All instruments recorded with an MXL 603S, except vocals recorded with a combination of an MXL 4000 in cardioid with a Nady RSM4 ribbon, and electric guitar with the same ribbon.

oh and how do you avoid copy write stuffs? bc i made a video and its blocked but its a cover

[jessegimbel]

@war31293 I don't avoid copyright stuff at all. You're allowed to post videos of cover songs, it's fully legal, you just can't claim the rights to it or try to make money off of it, because then you'd be stealing from the artist/label/whatever. Doing a cover of a song is entirely legal though.

this is like super awesome! your great. also i have a question if i was to buy the cheapest mic for recording drums would i have to have a specific program on my computer to work with the sound on the camera?

[jessegimbel]

@war31293 Thanks! You'd have to have a program that would allow you to align the audio you record with the mic with the video. I use Adobe After Effects, which is obviously overkill if you just want to make some simple videos. Unfortunately I don't know any cheap or free programs offhand that allow that, but you could try Windows Movie Maker or something like that. There should be a lot of info if you do a search, I'm sure it's a common thing people need an answer for.
