The Old Grey Goose

Since I enjoy playing around with audio multi-tracking, I've been meaning for some time to penetrate the mystery of the split-screen video. No doubt the technique is rated dead simple by folks with a more sophisticated grasp of visual technologies. Me, I have trouble turning on the TV.

 

Anyway, here's an experiment I did this morning:

I think I remembered all the parts. No guarantees, though.

Well done Bob. Definitely a successful experiment. Exactly how many different musical instruments are you able play to comparable standard, and what are they all ?

How about seeing both hands on their respective ends of the concertina?

Thanks, Rod. I don't know; standards aside, there are probably around a dozen instruments I mess around with regularly, and maybe three or four others I pick up now and then. Too many, at any rate; in my next lifetime I swear I'm going to stick to one thing and do it well.

 

Jim, I don't see why I couldn't try that, since I'm using two recording devices (phone and tablet) anyway. As for sound, I use an Apogee MIC to record, and I only have one of those, but I could rig another arrangement for the second device easily enough. The two mics wouldn't be matched, of course, but I doubt that would matter too much for a YouTube video.

 

So maybe I'll experiment along those lines; thanks for the suggestion. I think I'd probably go cross-eyed watching it, though.
