Musically OT - Wagon Wheel

Encouraged by your previous responses, here's another clip - this one is recorded on a single fixed Zoom Q3HD cam, and the audio is from the Zoom R16 you see on stage - it also fed the powered speakers for the PA.

This is particularly for Jerry (TeeTime on this forum) who hails from Raleigh NC, which is mentioned more than once in this song, and as it happens, Jerry is tomorrow (Monday) using his new R16 to record separate audio tracks in a challenging video job.

As you may notice, David, the lead singer/banjo player, looks like an English country squire and probably would have been if he hadn't come to Australia when he was 12. Instead, he is a dentist ... Dee, the lady in the centre is a corporate counsellor and I ... am a video producer!

Well done Peter, I quite enjoyed that.
Just a minor suggestion or two, I found your guitar a bit too "jangly" when it could have been filling in the bottom end a bit more. A bit of reverb on the master buss might also help it all hang together and add some body to the sound.

Bob, thanks - yeah I see what you mean ... I don't think I can replace a clip once it's up, but I will do another mix for myself.

Whilst it's great having a separate track for each voice and instrument, when "mastering" it's so tricky to say "that's it" - a never ending learning curve ...

"I don't think I can replace a clip once it's up"

You certainly can.
Delete it and upload a new version. The only downside is you lose your view counts from the previous version plus the link to the old clip doesn't work.

You could also just upload the new version as version 2 and put a note with a link in the description of the old version for anyone you've already emailed.

Bob.

Yes, sounded like a 12-string, but doesn't appear to me (old eys?).

But yea or nay, it's not a bad sound to me.
