Miscellaneous Single thread for posting my home studio videos ?

[dexdex]

Hi All,

I'm back on this place since a couple of weeks, and was thinking of posting some videos I do at home, for fun, often overlaying multiple tracks.
Instead of starting a new thread each time, how about a single thread, which would go on like a diary/scrap book ?
A way to avoid multiple threads, and maybe to be more focused on feedback and discussions about the making of, the dos and don'ts. This practice is common in photography forums.
Is there already someone doing it this way here ?
I am a bit concerned by the short editing time of one's own posts, which might become a burden.

Comments about the idea ? Pros, cons ?

Why videos? This is an audio medium we work in. What's important is how we sound, not how we look. Is there something to be "saved" in the exercise by not having multiple threads? Surely the volume of data using video takes up a huge amount of storage for this site compared to an MP3. It's a good idea to be thinking of what's good for the cafe, if that's the motive for your question. If so, then store the videos yourself (cloud or whatever) and give reference/links to them for discussions to happen here. That saves the maximum of cafe storage space.

Tenor Vioal has a lifetime thread.

Go for it

Most of my audio and video files are stored at my provider anyhow.
Why video ? Because it has become the normal practice on some places. I’m learning guitar on an online platform, and video allows the coach to better assess what you are doing.
Storage space isn’t the motivation. It is more about focus.
As an example, a thread is running now about microphones and recording. I did post an answer. Having a thread with my videos, I could share a link to it, showing my setup and the results. All at 1 place.
Think of it like a kind of vlog in the Café.

Just to clarify, you're not intending to post all your videos here...just the discussions. Discussions are always helpful, especially if they are balanced between genuine curiosity, a desire to learn, and a willingness to share helpful (valid) information.

Videos aren't hosted here on the Cafe forum so they don't use up storage space here that has to be paid for.

I have realised that people pay a lot more attention to postings here and elsewhere where there are pictures to watch along with the audio, regardless of whether the pictures are video of the actual playing, miming to actual playing by the performer or just nice still or moving images.

I say to the OP, post your videos (and audio files too if you like) on a single thread and let other people enjoy and comment on them.

Exactly. The more content of all sorts posted by everyone here the better and @dexdex is a fine player and has the experience to pass on to many here.
Non-members visiting here simply looking to join and then post a vid never to be seen again or to even comment. Well that may not be so cool, but truthfully. Do we want to miss out on potentially excellent content by being too exclusive.

A single thread should be fine. @dexdex Why might you need longer editing time?

[dexdex]

Thanks for your comments.
Regarding the editing time, it mainly means you have to prepare your post in final version, maybe elsewhere, as you know you won’t be able to come back and correct/update it later on. Remember: English is a foreign language for some of us.
And yes or no, I won’t post all my videos (what ever that means ?!?). Just the « usual » contribution to such a place. The central subject being about musical instruments, it seems only natural to give a glimpse about what someone is doing with his horns.

 

[Jeanette]

@dexdex happy to make any edits for you if needed but yes best to post the final version if possible.

[thomsax]

You can upload your videos to YT and then post it here on CS.

@Pete Thomas ?

Yes, two days as opposed to 5 hours.

Yes it is but don't forget draft posts are saved (Not sure how lon g, I need to look that ups.

I don't understand why it would need a much longer editing window, unless you intend to update the first post each time you do a new video.

Which is one way to do it, but would not be a good idea because anyone watching (following) the thread will not get notifications of the edits, whereas they will get notified of new posts for each new video.

Nor do edits show under the NEW tab.
