Quote: The issue, of course, is if the audio is uploaded separately from the VIDEO. I just don't know what to do. And the SYNCH issue is yet another problem I'd probably have to contend with.

This is what I want to do! I'm not "necessarily" concerned with a LIVE performance capture (that's too limiting!)...instead...

Like everything else you see (unless it is an actual LIVE performance) the video is a compliation of about 3-4 dozen takes!

All synched of course.

That is what I hope to achieve.

Thanks for the YouTube link...I'll check it out now...sweet.

That other link seems pretty cool, I sent those guys at support a related question...should hear back in a few days...I'm hoping I can accomplish what I want to with the Power Director 10 software...cheap to...like $50.

Flan-out!

In very basic terms you need to record the video of you playing along with the actual recording, so it is indeed in time with the recording. Then it is a matter of you trimming the video to sync with the audio track in an editor (like WMM) so it all lines up.

Slide the video to match the audio in the editing software. Like I said; it is much easier in something like Adobe Premeier, but can be done in WMM. CharlieG (a member here) uses a different software and gets it done nicely. Wish he would chime in .. but I think his solution is $$ also. Maybe a Sony product. Can't remember.

I should have known that more $$$ (for me at least) would be involved. (Let's see, I still gotta pay for Reaper but Audacity is free, thankfully.) The synch issue never crossed my mind, well, until NOW of course although I have noticed many videos that were out of synch and didn't like that. But it didn't dawn on my that would be an issue for ME because I never had to deal with uploading two different files and making then synch together. But, as with many things, I'm willing to pay for a program that will take the stress out of doing these things. (Yes, I could change the oil in my car myself but it's too much of a hassle for me).

Wondering what you meant by that. Previously, yes, it took me a long time to get stuff correct because if I messed up on a chord change or a solo or the vocals or the VERY end I'd have to redo the whole thing. But when the stuff is already 95% completed (in RealBand, etc.) hopefully, it will take just a FEW times and the video would be done. But it would NEVER be a "compilation". Unless I read you wrong.

Thanks, that was actually really good. And I do believe it answered my question of what FLAN was speaking about. The thing, for me, is that since most of my stuff are COVERS I really don't want to make anything like a "Music Video" which is what that was. I'm now realizing that because I'm now recording in the computer I have more OPTIONS then before so that's why I'm confused. I'm now thinking that the "Slideshow" thing WILL probably be cool to do somewhere down the line but, as of now, I think what I'll do for my next video is do what I have been doing. Simply play back the "finished" RealBand backing tracks (with my adding additional tracks of guitar to them) to the song and play/sing live while filming. After all, that was the reason I purchased the ZOOM Q3HD to begin with:

as well as buying a much better pair of computer speakers then I was using previously as well:

On the other hand, maybe I'll just stay here and ask questions and post 24/7 so I won't really have to make a final decision at all.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
