You mentioned recording guitar through an interface into a DAW, and it would be great if you could describe the various methods for recording guitar audio, including through the interface as well as putting a microphone in front of the amp.

Just found your channel and the second one of your videos started I knew I was way out of my depth in terms of understanding your filming. Then I found this video and realized my intuition was 100% correct haha. Anyway, your production is beautiful just amazing. I can't think of anyone in the youtube-guitar sphere who even comes close to this. I'm guilty of using my smartphone at times along with the insta 360 cam and a lumix g7. Right now, the priority is speed, so I record direct with a capture card and OBS (my camera is basically always on and setup in one area so I can go from nothing to recording in seconds). Maybe one day when I have more space I can attempt to implement some of these tips! Thanks for your work. Truley inspirational.

@@LivingroomGearDemos Second question - how do you manually focus when filming by yourself?

@BadThingsTrueCrime Жыл бұрын

@@RJRonquillo Usually just by putting something in my chair and focusing in on that. And having a monitor near my position after to check that I'm actually in focus. I also have a wireless system I can hook up to manual lenses, so I can focus from where I sit.

@UpliftingRiffs Жыл бұрын

Great points! I'm struggling to get manual focus to work very well because if I move my guitar or face it gets out of focus. I'm using a Canon 90D with Sigma 18-35 Lens. I have been using auto focus for close up shots for my hands and guitar but with my face in the shot it takes focus away. Driving me crazy. Any ideas how to make manual focus work for my face and hands/guitar both? 😐

What target bitrate do you use for 4K or HD videos?

50 000 Kb/s for HD and 80K for 4K. Overkill, but works ;)

Sorry, if I missed it, but is there a requirement on FPS? Is 60 a must or 29/30 good enough?

@LivingroomGearDemos 5 ай бұрын

I do 25, but some do 29/30 for guitar stuff to minimize motion blur. I don't like 60.

How do you set the focus on the camera? In case you can't reach the focus wheel from your playing position?

@LivingroomGearDemos Жыл бұрын

I usually just focus on my chair or something. Sometimes I have a wireless follow focus set up, so I can pull focus whilst sitting.

yeah, I often operate between 2.8 to 4. So many people are filming wide open in search of cinematic footage. I don't think that is the best way to approach it :)
