Hey @edje Happy New Year! Thank you so much for the words of encouragement - what you describe is exactly what I'm going for in my music project: re-creating electronic sounds with organic instruments. I've built up a collection of instruments and sounds throughout my lifetime that I use in my tracks (sax is from childhood, accordion was my grandfathers, nature sounds were recorded when I went camping).
I currently produce in Ableton 11, which I really like. They offer a 90 day trial - so it's free to try. I haven't tried DaVinci Resolve before, but if you like the workflow then go for it! In my view, software is more relevant for workflow - the sounds you put in are the most critical part of producing the type of music you want. I'd be happy to provide feedback on your early production works if you share them!
Looking forward to more cool video's and recordings. I think it was one of your creations, last week, the one with the noise wall.
{wait}
Two weeks ago indeed! Just checked your blog.
Really liked that video! And a creative way to create the white noise background 🙇
Regarding used software. Thanks for sharing the software you use for the music but was more looking for the video software you use. I understand the confusion though, I never really wrote iin my previous comment that I was asking for the video one. I just thought that when writing the comment. Apparently, my brain-keyboard interface is not flawless 😂 DaVinci Resolve is more a video editor. It has some audio stuff as well, but it is far from being a music editing tool electronic music producers need as a minimum. Or at least, I would think so. Am not at all familiar with Ableton, or music production. I can only produce music when using an AI algorithm / service {LOL}
Ah ok, I use Sony Vegas for video editing because I could get it for cheap. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Adobe system at some point because it has more capability. Sony Vegas came naturally to me because the layout is a lot like my music production software - so I learned it quickly.
I started putting some more effort into video editing last year, and I can mostly do what I want now in Sony Vegas (transitions, splits, resizing, basic effects).
Also, thanks for checking out my video for Risen! I think that one was my strongest video/track yet - I might do another in a similar style this year!
Today I downloaded Movie, the Apple program that is free to use and was able to relatively quickly to learn. Just posted the results to 3Speak :) iMovie is much easier to use than DaVinci, and does most things you mentioned, maybe all. Not sure if it can do the two videos on one screen though. When I get more experienced in video creation, I'll try DaVinci again. Maybe you like to check that one, suppose to be a good one as an alternative to Adobe Premiere and free of charge, well the 'basic' stuff is FoC.
Looking forward to more of your creations ;)
Oh cool - I just checked out your bird video - nice quality! I enjoyed sitting in my back yard watching/listening to birds this season - but I didn't get any great pictures or video yet.
Thanks for the recommendation - I'll check out DaVinci if I start to hit more limitations with Sony Vegas!
Thanks 🙇
I wanted to make some textual jokes in the movie about the noise of some passing cars and scooters, but somehow I forgot about that when finishing up. Couldn't find the possibility to remove sounds from a video though. Was working on some other project which I couldn't finish because I need to remove the sounds completely. Well, the search continues, since I didn't search the world wide web yet for this feature in iMovies.
