clem, IF you think you wanna do another drive around vid:
1. if your dash board cam is in the middle of the dash board, have it aimed straight to the back and its lens should be wide enough to include you
2. dashboard cam aimed straight to the road, taken at night in the city - imagine the light streaks from the lights when sped up

Way ahead of you for number 2.

A few days ago I thought it might be cool if, to go along with the day driving vid I already made, I made a night driving video as well. I made one two nights ago and there was pouring rain. I thought that might be cool and that you might find a use for it in the final edit. Last night I made another one but it wasn't raining, it was just a regular night driving vid. So I'll send those your way. This weekend I'll redo the other vid with my phone aimed to the back of the car as much as it can be.

I'd have to get a friend to help me with something like a moving video.

I also had an idea of a changing background while I'm playing (ie. like the daily destinations of my life: work, home, studio, my friends houses etc.) 

If I get the chance to record an in car video as a passenger with my bass i'll definitely try to get some shots of that.

Just a test.



Don't you just love Google and YouTube?

OMG. What have you done?? LOL That looks cool.

Not sure where you're going with this but I can't wait to see the final result.

Arnie's sat nav.



I'll be, err... back.

That's a good idea. I was thinking of taking a video of me playing WHILE driving, but I decided that might send a bad message.

Dog walk under an overpass, how's this? (Except for the part where I get a rock stuck in my sandal)

I'll be away for a couple days but I'll get the one of me playing done when I get back.

here's the final mix

Outsider looking in (for this cover, lol) it sounds great and masterfully done as always! I used bass heavy in-ears and listened to it again with studio monitors. 

Tiny TINY side note coming from a drummer; the kick drum didn't have as much punch to it as it could have. When I think of Onegai Nav, I think of the pounding kick drum, perhaps with a little more snap it, but I don't know if that can be helped. The drumming is great though and I love it, don't get me wrong. It's just that the driving kick drum sound is iconic in that song and in my perfect world, it would be a little more prominent.

Sorry, that's me being extremely nitpicky, but other than that, the mix is fantastic and props to all of you! I have uploading capability now thanks to @kawaii93, so let me or her know when the final upload is ready

Love the mix. I note marco's comment on the kickdrums but I thought it was still not too bad (the .wav file running on my GarageBand; monitoring cans - audio-technica ATH-M50X).

Marco - I won't be editing the video until I get back from my vacation mid-July. Will let you have the finished product mid-end July thereabouts!

noted marco, working on it atm... still got time till kudo's back

Pink, if it's something you can fix on your end, great. If you can't and you'd prefer I do the drum tracks over again with higher bass drums, just tell me. It's ok. Once this thing is done, it's gonna be done forever so we need to get it right.

I hope I didn't just stall the project because of my nitpicking  .please.  wouldn't want you to do it over again clem, haha

Although shouldn't be a problem for pinq. He manages to enhance my drum tracks without needing me to do anything over, idk how; it's like magic, lol. Sorry y'all, yoroshiku onegaishimasu ;~;

It's ok.   You're helping make the project better. Besides, we have lots of time until Kudo returns.

there's one i cant fix but looks like yall didnt recognize it [sharpen your ears hahaha] but its fine because of the fast tempo and the problem i cant fix make this cover sounds more grungy

Good job. You can hear it better. I'm satisfied with this mix. I don't know how the rest of you feel...

sounds wicked! good work~

i'll try to get my video done and uploaded sometime next week. got little free time these days i'll try my best.

edit: awesome mix btw

Nope, still in sunny Malaysia.

Waiting for two more performance videos - so I can't start yet anyway.

The mix sounds great, and thanks Pinq for pitch-correcting my part 0:59-1:01 or so; I heard the wrong notes.

There is one thing I'm wondering if we can add--part of the rhythm guitar for the first verse when kawaii is singing. It sounds fine without it but it might sound more full with. Apologies for not getting on it sooner.

Performance video

Another dog walk clip. Might need some cropping. I'll be in Maine until the 20th so let me know if you have any ideas for a video I could take.

hmmm I actually think it sounds kinda good this way. Like it builds momentum, and when the second part of the first verse kicks in, the intensity goes up a notch. But that's just me. I don't know how everyone else feels...

edit:
Cool performance video Spongy.
We're getting closer to the finish line.  Really looking forward to the final video.

Just bchoun's video left.

I'm at the airport now. All good things come to an end - back to work Tues!

Yo, peeps. Getting ready to edit the vid...



... but bchoun-kun, where are ya dude / doko desu ka?


We're waiting for you now...



BTW check your SH message inbox to see the video screen cap of the work in progress.

Another outsider coming in.. hehe
I listened to the mix with an AKG earphone, it sounds wicked! Great job everyone!

Anyway, if you could use some input, personally I think the strongest charm of Onegai Navigation is its strong bass sound,
so perhaps letting the drum and the bass part stand out more a little bit might be rad. More "boom" sound hehe

Another part I noticed is the sudden volume drop right before the last chorus.


but again, it IS wicked as it is now!! Kudos to everyone involved!
.clap.

Thanks for your input, astuffds!

BTW I managed to contact bchoun and he will try do his vids this weekend, or failing that - this coming Wed or Thur.
