My Version of Arthur McBride and The Sargent



As promised, here is a clip of me playing Arthur McBride and The Sargent. It was a little more intimidating than I expected. I am used to recording with mics etc., but stare into a camera, while watching myself on the small pull-out screen, was a bit off putting!
I spent a lot more time than intended trying to get this on YouTube. For some reason, when I did a direct capture (press play on the video camera and YouTube grabs the video directly), with a digital cable, no sound was captured. When I used the analog cables, a slight distortion was introduced into the sound. When I tried to capture the video on my PC (so I could upload instead of using direct capture), I got great sound but there were some skips and glitches. In the end, I went with the direct capture, even though it has slight distortion. If there are any video/YouTube gurus out there, I'd love to know how to capture good sound.
