QUXOTE

thanks dino we all shine in our own way with Gods gifts this was a bit of work to construct only because I dont know my way around this new software and for anyone wishing to try there hand with this video process these are the stages
first I recorded the two acoustic guitar tracks then the bass after that I added a drum track and a keyboard which I recorded stereo on two separate tracks the final tracks I laid down two lead guitar tracks and mixed everything and tweaked the EQs for each track and this finished recording was uploaded to my other computer which is running the Audacity beta 3.2 this was exported as a mp3 into a jump drive and transferred to my vista computer.OK so the music was finished now came the video I spent a few days prior to today gathering short clips from old VHS and DVD movies these were shot with a Kodak 8.2 megapixel from my flat screen TV and edited in the camera before uploading all of these clips had to be converted from MOV to WMV and run through windows movie maker to make each a movie I deleted the originals to save space on my hard drive I purchased a trakAXpc video collaging program ($24.95) online and loaded the music track first then each clip had to be inserted at intervals on the timeline so everything flowed along smooth I am still learning to use this new software and produce even better videos,thanks again dino for your comments

Thank toots the instruments I own and used were a Hohner electric acoustic,a Silvertone bass a small Yamaha keyboard an Alesis drum machine and my knock off Chinese SR-1 Strat the only effects were the on board Boss BR-8 effects,both acoustic tracks were recorded into a Shure SM 58 the bass,keys,drums and electric guitar were recorded direct into the BR-8 the acoustic has Silk n Steel strings (love the sound of them) the track order:
1. acoustic (panned left)
2. acoustic (panned right)
3. bass (panned almost center)
4. drums (panned left center)
5. Keyboards (panned full left)
6. Keyboards (panned full right)
7. lead guitar (panned a tad left of center)
8. lead guitar (panned a tad right of center)

I added high eq's on the bass so it wouldn't sound muddy reverb on the guitars keys and drums and overdrive and delay on the lead guitars I had to record the keyboards um teen times because the keys are small and I kept missing the right ones all the rest I did one take thanks for watching and good luck with your project

Wow Russ - That was great. I have to admit that my favorite part was you on the chess board.  I wish I had your skill on the instruments and mixing...and the video mix as well.

the chessboard video was fun to shoot thanks Jeff for the kind words

Hi Russ
I think the vid and the song are great. The vid is getting to look professional....
Well done
