Ironic [Rock Band 2] 100% Expert Vocals

This is a test video to see how well my new camera functions as a capture device. The good news is that it's an excellent capture device - as you'll see, the video quality is pretty good, and the audio is very crisp.

Is the direct capture video at 480i better quality than my 720 camera-to-screen? I think the 720p is obviously crisper, but it's a nightmare to frame the shot and get it aligned properly. Let me know in the comments!

As for the audio, I had some trouble trying to get my voice to come through clearly, though, so I did a simultaneous record on my other camera and mixed both audio tracks together. I'm still not terribly happy with the result, but it'll do for now until I can figure out how set up my Samsom mic from my PC as external audio.

100% Gold Star Expert Vocals performance on Ironic by Alanis Morissette, as it appears in Rock Band 2 for PlayStation 3.

Unlike my usual videos, I was unable to minimize Alanis' original vocals - I think the vocals are doubled up and the backing track always plays.

Ironic is harder than it seems. There's a lot of talkies, but there are also some really odd choices of pitched phrases that might have been talkies that are a bit hard to puzzle out.

P.S. See my annotation about how awkward it is to sing about "meeting the man of my dreams" as a guy. Fortunately I'm secure enough to not worry about it, but still... Ironic indeed! :)

How'd you get your video quality to look like that? Did you buy a video cable online to hook up the camera to your television?

[IcemageJT]

The camera comes with a video-in cable. I just bought a splitter cable and some plug connectors. Are you interested in seeing a video tutorial?

[belakisamongthehiden]

just wondering why your old video's looked blue?

[IcemageJT]

Weird color balancing on my other camera.

It looks amazing but the sound is hollow sounding. You sounded good though :).

[IcemageJT]

It's not the capture method that's doing that, it's me. The audio is a little hollow on purpose. The two audio tracks were starkly different from each other so I dropped a tiny bit of reverb on both of them to make them mesh a bit better. I need to figure out how to get my more expensive mic in on this and I'll have both good audio + good video.

@IcemageJT yes i am

Ha, love that note about the "man of your dreams." I've sung the vocals to "Just a Girl" as a guy, but the whole internet hasn't watch me do it.

Great job.

[sgtelzilcho]

oh god yes please do a tutorial

[NeonPOP15]

Hmm, I don't think my camera came with a video-in cable. I know it's the same camera as yours, but mine shoots in 720 instead of 1080. I may be interested in seeing a tutorial though.
