Season 455 - Zooming

pabrizzer · Oct 31, 2020

The season stars when it is Sunday Nov 1 in Hawaii and ends when it is no longer Sunday Nov 8 in Hawaii.

Any song you like -one take - NO EDITING - NO POST PRODUCTION - just like a zoom share or an open mic.

3 song limit - new recordings only.

There is a prize for my fav performance.

What a great idea! Looking forward to seeing all the entries! Thanks, Pa!

Mezcalero · Nov 1, 2020

Love the song Brian! Look forward to a great season, warts and all ~

hendulele · Nov 1, 2020

Awesome idea, Brian! You may make me dislike Zoom slightly less.

forte555 · Nov 1, 2020

Looking forward to this week. I hope it includes some real gems. Sort of like a bloopers reel.
Thanks for the great idea. Can't wait to get started.

Ooh ... I can do bloopers!!! (Challenging idea for the week, Brian ... hope I'm up to it!)

Maybe I'll have to Zoom to myself to get the sound breakup and video freezes that are all part of the Zoom experience.

OTOH maybe not.

wee_ginga_yin · Nov 1, 2020

No video editing , no echo, no reverb, no loops, no post processing. One take and a joke.

xommen · Nov 1, 2020

No postprocessing is usually not my thing, but here it goes anyway in one take Phil Och - When I'm Gone, including all my clicking

.

YorkSteve · Nov 1, 2020

I don't think I have ever added anything to my raw recordings, but it does often take me three or four attempts to get all the way through the song. You remember that bit in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" when Hugh Grant rushes around his flat shouting "f*** f*** f***ity f***"? That's usually me on the first few takes. This week could be good...

all your zoom performances that i've seen have been f*** free

UkingViking · Nov 1, 2020

Most of my recordings are "Live recordings" with only volume adjustment done to them, but I usually need to choose from 5-7 takes to find the one take that was decent.
Perhaps if I do just one take each of 5 different songs and choose the best, would that be cheating? It would be one take for that particular song...

RAB11 · Nov 1, 2020

Most of my videos are uploaded straight from my phone completely untouched. So in this case I've opted against using the on board effects from the Soundwave pickup

Ms Bean · Nov 1, 2020

I would like to learn some video editing, multi-tracking and what not. So far all my videos have been straight recordings, with errors, bloopers and other imperfections. It's all very wabi sabi.
I have never gone 'live' on YouTube, and I'm thinking that your theme would welcome such an experiment. I might give it a try: cut out the mobile, and record straight into YouTube. That would be as authentic as a Zoom open mic, I think.

CharleyB · Nov 1, 2020

firstly i hope you'll excuse my absence from SOTU for the last couple of weeks - i caught the coronavirus and spent a week in bed and then a week convalescing.
All my entries are always non-enhanced, (i wouldn't know how to edit them if i'm being honest), but to make sure i could do it in one take this week i've chosen a two chord song from Hawkwind's 'In Search of Space' album which i first bought 40-odd years ago

Cornfield · Nov 1, 2020

I wrote this parody and played it in a Zoom sing around a few months ago. I had hoped that by the end of July I could forget about it. Unfortunately, the song is still relevant.

i am really after the immediacy of a zoom meeting or an open mic Mikkel - you tell us what you are bringing and bring it - you've done well on the zooms i've seen - that's what i am requesting this week - not a best of of a variety of takes

i have never gone live to youtube either - you don't need to do that but it would certainly be a right fit for what i'm after - i should have done my intro vid that way....

pabrizzer · Nov 1, 2020

well we have

(that's 5) songs on the play list and all brought as requested - thank you
look forward to some more

cua94 · Nov 1, 2020

I have had this song running over and over in my head this week...the only cure is to learn it!

I messed up the number of the season and the end of the song but it was in one take

jtsteam · Nov 1, 2020

Well I'm new at this but this seems as good a time as any to join in since I can offer something I've been trying to learn for a while

. I'm not sure I've inflicted my singing (such as it is) on anyone since university, about *mumble* years ago, so I hope it's bearable.

(Please excuse the terrible camera angle, I am shy...)
