Great advice @coruscate
Being a total @dtube newbie here got me thinking about similar issues that I've stumbled across lately.
I totally agree with you!
When I created my Dtube account a few months back, I took the time to obviously, check out your videos and other interesting talented musicians here. Unfortunately most were of poor filming and audio quality which really let the performances down.
It does beg the question though doesn't it?
What if we all turned our TV's 'on and the sound or picture quality was so bad that we found it hard to watch? Well, we'd be on the phone to our cable supplier or SKY® TV as we have here in the UK. So inset to work on getting a nice audio and camera set up on a tight budget (I'm a poor independent artist you know?) cue the awwwwww's 😂
I bought a fairly priced 1080p webcam from Amazon for £25 and used a Samson Condenser mic from my studio equipment to capture thevsound. I plug my electro acoustic guitar mic into my Zoom MRS 1608 Porta-Studio and use the unbuilt Reverb and EQ.
I do believe that if you're a serious musician and songwriter, you really should be striving to get the best sound and video that you possibly can, budget permitting obviously. Because, after all, you're advertising your self and your creativity to the world.
I hope that my little nuggets of info helped some of you guys here.
Thanks again and keep on plying your lovely songs!
