Does View Count on Youtube Matter? a vlog by geoffmobile

Geoff Peters — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 11:09:14 +0000

Geoff Peters from Vancouver BC Canada geoffmobile.com discusses “Does Viewcount on Youtube matter?”

Summary:

What is viewcount?
-On Youtube, it is the number of times people around the world have watched the video.

Why is it important?
-art / media is only active when people are seeing it.

Is more better?
-Not necessarily. To have an impact, it depends who is watching, not necessarily how many.

Making Money?
-More = Better for advertising / monetization.

Niche vs mass appeal
Also, target to specific interests, regions, or demographics

Thank you!
Hope to see you again on geoffmobile.com

Synth Practice jam Korg MS-2000B – Jan 4 2012 by Geoffmobile

Geoff Peters — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:48:36 +0000

Geoff from geoffmobile.com does a 20 minute rehearsal / jam on his Korg MS-2000B analog modelling synthesizer.

My goal during this video was to develop / compose some new song ideas for rehearsing with my friend Jason (who plays electronic drums).

I begin with a discussion about the equipment used to film/create this video. The music starts at 1:09 .

I think I came up with 2 or 3 cool ideas in this short session, which I will hopefully flesh out later.

This video is more of a documentation of my creative process rather than entirely a performance (so may not sound interesting or pleasant the entire time). Also I realized when I started playing that the keyboard was too low, so I had a pretty uncomfortable playing position for this jam (but maybe that affected my musical ideas, for better or worse?

I am finding I really like the sound of the basic Triangle Wave patch, and find it suits my style and ideas well. The KORG MS2000 synth allows the basic patch to be easily modified in real-time using the many knobs. This is great for a live performance. I am only beginning to scratch the surface of what this amazing synth can do!

Thanks for watching, please subscribe, and see you next time

Geoff
