Topic: Back From, Bighorn Mountain Festival.

Well we made it back from the Bighorn Mountain Festival and had a wonderful time. We took a lot of videos and didn't take too many pics and got home and to my despair the audio did not work on my vids, nothing but dead silence.So I decided to use the pics I did have and do a slide show with a song by Anne and Pete Sibley , Wayfaring Stranger .  We watched them perform this song live twice over the weekend and it is better live than the cd.
  There was a band scramble and a couple of our friends participated and won first place. I had some great vids of my friends Will and Anne but without the audio it is a shame. She is a sweetheart. I jammed alot and come through just about every song without messing up too bad or forgetting any lyrics.
   We had a pleasant surprise when a young fella about 16 yrs old stop by and wanted to jam. I told him I wasn't the greatest at bluegrass and I took off with Pink Floyd " Wish You Were Here" the reason I went this direction was his tye dyed Pink Floyd T-shirt. We were all over that one and I went to Hotel California and he just about ripped the neck off his git. Then I started playin Muddy Waters
"Got my Mojo Workin"  and holy crap the kid went nuts , he went in to a blues song I didnt know but I tried like heck to keep up.He finished up and said he had to move on and Liz and Shelly and I looked at each other with our mouths open wondring if it was real. THen the neighbors all come over and said holy crap was that awesome!

Yes it's a nice song to play on acoustic Pete Plays it all alone and does a great job, there are several versions of the song here on chordie.

Yeh, Russ I was so bummed out about the audio on my vid camera, but it was such a wonderful weekend. Things couldn't have been much better, including the weather was just beautiful all weekend and the entertainment was topnotch. I am dragging tail today too much fun for this old guy I guess. Now I have to start practicing up for next year!

Re: Back From, Bighorn Mountain Festival.

Perhaps the audio did record on your vids but the codecs on your computer aren't updated to decode the audio stream in the video?

K-Lite codec pack?

Re: Back From, Bighorn Mountain Festival.

Thanks,  But I think it is in the camera It has an external mic input and that works ok with a mic plugged in. When I unplug the mic it will not switch back to the internal mic.

Re: Back From, Bighorn Mountain Festival.

Ah okay, I understand.
That's unfortunate. However, there may be a solution...

The external mic port on your camera, is it a 3.5mm headphone/mic input?
If it is, you can get a small-form-factor piezo mic from radio shack and wire it (red to red, black to black) to one of those right-angle 3.5mm plugs and mount it to your camera permanently.

Those little mics are VERY sensitive and capture good audio from a distance. If there is noise like wind blowing on it or anything you can cover it in a little foam and it will reduce the noise pickup.
