Just catching up on the videos (and the music)… all top quality… your producing some wonderful stuff at the moment… more please 🙏

Thank you! I appreciate you listening — especially wanting to come back makes me very happy :-)

I’ll try and make more :-)

Please do - your album work , the labor you put into it, and the release have been inspiring, especially because you are doing videos too man. You’re doin it , brother…

I made a video for each song on the album, here are the others:

Awesome stuff man. Any custom shader code, or are these all perplexon preset/materials?

Mr_Fox

Dope track!

Thanks. No custom shaders no. The backgrounds are increasingly iMovie made videos and I've just used the factory and first set of perplexon shaders. I've just got the latest shader pack in the recent sale so will use those on the next one maybe :-)

Text and additional bits are added in iMovie. I've kept it fairly simple. If I spend too much time on videos I'd have no time for music!

I know that feel

I’ve found CapCut useful for putting these “visual” video together also. It’s got some pretty cool effects for what I paid (free!)

I've not heard of that one... May have to check it out (although for now, iMovie + VS seems to be doing the trick)

Thank you :-) Out of curiosity, which track did you think was dope?

This one's a remix of Richard's song. Not sure I did it justice in hindsight. :-)

I've never really tried making videos and uploading songs to YouTube before other than the odd thing in iMovie. But I bought Visual Synthesiser and though I'd have a go:

it's very basic. Imagniando Visual Studio with the 'lyrics' added in iMovie.

I found VS to be a bit unintuitive in places. I think I'm getting my head around it now though.

UPDATE And here's a video for the JanKun vocal mix version:

Links to my album here : https://meestersmeeeth.uk

The @JanKun mix has a NIN/Ministry feel to it. Nice job gentlemen.

I was listening to Guilt, but I just checked out Rezonant Expert and I really like that one too. Great job!

I’m always happy to take NiN vibes! Jesus built my Hotrod is an industrial classic too!

I should try and make some actual industrial one day!

Capcut is from ByteDance, the makers of TikTok and subsidized (you're the product basically).

Canva is a good iMovie alternative with similar mechanics, you can also easily animate stuff and use their huge graphics library. Could be worth a tenner if you have other graphic design/business needs like merch design because it can do a lot of useful things.

Thanks for listening watching :-)

I missed all this stuff. Very well done indeed. So much fun to have these tools at our fingertips. Is the “Meester Smith” from an Alastair McLean novel? I forget which one had the “meester” in it.

No, it’s actually from Blackadder Goes Forth.

Here’s a really terrible rip — it’s at the 7:50 mark

Once you see that the mystery has gone :-)

CapCut (and TikTok) is soon to be banned is USA...
After that, Europe will follow...

Better put some time to learn DaVinci Resolve - the free version is kind of 95% of the program and the rest 5% is Pro features and is called Studio upgrade (99 dollar to iPad and 299 dollar to Mac/Win/Linux)...

DaVinci Resolve may look extremely deep with thousands of functions, but, there's a really big amount of tut-videos on Youtube to look at.
If you install it on iPad (3.5GB) you first will think that the app is crippled, but, with a few keyboard shortcuts you can unlock the full program...

Version 19 is on it's way, and hopefully we will see AUv3/VST support even on iPad (it's there on Mac7Win/Linux)...

This music and visuals are fuckin' world class! At least the music!

We Logic nerds here knew between the lines that it was an mastery behind the nick @klownshed !!

Maybe you should add Tidal also to the link of your album?

Wow thank you :-)

Took me a while to find a link to my album on Tidal:

https://tidal.com/album/357519898?u

I’ll add it to the links page later.

Yeah it looks really powerful, good tip! Probably the way to go if you want the best quality.

If you don't need the extra features and already use Ableton and just need to cut MP4 clips then Ableton could do the trick as well.

I've used Ableton for track mixtape videos that were just mockup images of vinyl and cassettes with changing track info.

iMovie works more than well enough for my requirements I think. I use VS to make the visuals that react to the music and iMovie for the titles, etc. I also make very simple background videos for VS in iMovie which makes things a bit more personal rather than use the included presets.
