Floyd suggested I start a new thread for this as some may miss it in the Off Topic thread.

I will tell you a little bit about how I went about making the video.

I am going to be doing a Periscope (anybody heard of it?) on this, probably later today and will probably post that on Youtube so I will keep you posted.

First I make a very basic backing track using BIAB (wonderful product this). Then I make a "karaoke" type scrolling lyrics thingy with the chords typed in (so I don't waste time s****ing up the chords and lyrics). I use a program called Karaoke CD+G Creator from Power Karaoke.

I set up a little HD camcorder on a tripod directly behind the screen of my laptop and plug in my Samsun Meteor USB mic into the laptop. For this video I was wearing one Shure over the ear headphone but it was not ideal because the b*****sted cable wasn't really long enough. I record the vocals and guitar using Realband on my laptop. Realband can display CDG files, which is great. I simultaneously press record on the camcorder.

Then I mix the song in Realband. Playing the guitar at the same time presents a bit of a problem because I don't want to hear that rather horrid sounding guitar in the mix but rather use a real track so I tried to edit and EQ it out as much as I could.

I then import the final mixed wav file and raw video footage into my video editing program which is NCH Videopad. I then line up the vocals from the mixed track with the vocals on the video. Mute the video audio track and walha! There you have it.

Please feel free to ask any questions.
