Recording performances on video: your tools, process
I’ve recently started recording acoustic covers and uploading them to YouTube. I’ve been using the selfie camera of my iPad Pro M1 and a Rode NT1 (5th gen) to capture my vocals and guitar. (The Rode has a built-in audio interface that I can plug directly into the iPad.)
I’ve been recording the video and audio with a camera app, extracting the audio with Twisted Wave, processing the audio in Logic (adding a synth layer, AI mastering), then using iMovie to replace the original audio with the processed audio.
It’s coming out better than I expected, but I’d like to improve. I don’t mind spending money for tools, but I’m not sure what the right tools are. I have an Adobe subscription already, so I reckon I’ll use Premiere Rush for editing (unless Final Cut is just better for this application).
I’m a little stuck at the tracking/capture stage:
- I seem to be clipping the audio. Is there a capture app that’s better than others for this?
- Only one capture app that I’ve tried, ProCam, has resulted in an HD-quality video on YouTube. I’m sure this is user error, but which error?
What have you learned about this process?
I’m not trying to become an influencer or make money with these videos; I just want to get a little better. The next big step will probably be to record vocal and guitar on separate channels. I have the hardware to do that, but keeping everything aligned with the video seems like it will be a challenge.
Comments
I used to do the most convoluted thing: sending audio from Logic on my Mac out a cable from my interface, into a weird dongle on my iPhone, then recording the video in ProMovie with the audio baked right into it.
This was a horrible idea, in retrospect.
