Announcing... RiffMasters!

I downloaded RDR2 to make my own video cuz I couldn't find the link. I was clicking on something else that was bringing me to RUMBLE. Do we HAVE to use the supplied video? I found the aforementioned link and was able to easily download it. But now I want to make a video of the actual character in my story/song...
 
You want to use screen recording software of some sort. There are hundreds out there. I use a Corel version but it's old and not great. Plus I have terrible internet hence the choppy video.
Man, you go above and beyond every! Single! time!

Necessity is the mother of invention.

I got Wondershare Filmora. It seems like the most user friendly thing I've ever used on PC. My Spaghetti Western sub is only 3:14. My first thought was Claymation,... That would take a month of Sundays to do.
 
OK pre-promotion is cool. But will it live up to the hype?

Here's my "Wild Wild West" submission entitled "Six-Gun Marinara"

It's similar to the first version I lost via saving technical error, missing the cooler melodic bass lines I had
before and tempo changes were more apparent in the original. String section was superior too, but it is what it is. I re-recorded most of these parts in about an hour after my project save brain fahrt, feeling rather dejected.


This was my first attempt at hats, bass drum via the Yama keyboard, ie: tapping it in with my fingers. Couldn't figure out a way to make smooth tempo transitions with the midi drums in reaper, or it was too much a battle to get several tempo changes to match, so I just ended up pounding it in manually. This is probably more an issue with my rhythm than the software. In retrospect, I wonder if you can pre-set reapers metronome fto make tempo changes at certain points prior to recording, like ramping up over 2 bars, etc.
That would have been the answer.

Acoustic: Washburn dreadnaught, close miked, DADGAD
Electric - Yamaha skull strat.
Bass 3/4" scale Rondo SX "Buh-Bye Kitty" Bass.
String patch on the keys, that washboardy percussion is a güiro, also one of my cheap Yamaha keyboard drum samples. The eerie repeating lash echo thing was pulled from a sound effects CD

The music didn't line up exactly with the duel like I wanted, my error. I think my first version was better in that regard too. But, I feel this is ok, if leaning a bit much on the melancholic, a sad/desperate cowboy on the run sort of vibe, while he "boomer bends" away soulfully to his heart's content LOL! I guess it's just what I was feeling.

4 points participation, 1 for the edit, 1 for the SFX = 6 for yet another short term stay
in the Penthouse. My lord, @Ku² :cry::eek::oops: What have you done to our poor kitchen?

Awe bro, I actually got the duel part lined up PERFECTLY with your supplied video, but I'm still trying to recreate a more accurate RDR2 video, me as Spaghetti Freddi and featuring Giaook, (Juke- Gianluca) as Confetti Joe. We both created characters in RDR2 and have been wasting countless hours running around in game, he taking 1st person video of me coming out of my front door, rearing at cliff's edge, riding around, etc. and I, capturing cinematic view of riding across the land. Little does he know, he crosses me and ends up with a head full o' lead. What payment fer all his photography. Some "friend" that Spaghetti Freddi guy is...

Btw, I went full on with this one with all the bells and whistles, there may even be a kitchen sink in there.

Oh, and all that work fer drums? I played a Gallup on my ol' garbage found acoustic, "Cut-hole", that's it fer percussion, save fer th' sound fx.

That was awesome man. I really dug the tempo and flow of it. The strings sounded great too.
I remember reading something about reaper having a “recovery” mode of sorts because it never really deletes much. Your old stuff may still be in there somewhere
 
You haven't heard my 80's hit yet..... if you're looking for a bucket load of chuckles.
Been working on my 80s hit song. Figure I’d get the bass down. Worked on it yesterday and pretty well have it…. So thought I’d work at recording into a track. And then attack guitar and vocals. Yeah. Big nope. Almost gave myself a blister yesterday on my first finger from all the pickin’ and grinnin’ most of the afternoon. It was not going to let me do that again today. So…. Tomorrow it is.
 
I am going to submit the rough draft of my blues submission.

Why you may say.

Today I sliced my right thumb pretty good and holding a pick is proving challenging

The next obvious question is how.
Before you read how. Please make sure you are near a bathroom or have adult diapers on. You will most certainly pee yourselves.

Ready??




Pickleball!
Apparently it is not a full contact sport.
