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

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

Technical notes:
Synthesizer: Korg MS-2000B
audio was recorded in stereo on my Sony IC Recorder ICD-SX712. No mastering or compression was done to the audio (it’s straight off the synth).
Intro camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX7V with manual white balance.
Synth Camera is a Canon EOS T2i with Kit Lens 18-55mm IS, manual white balance, Standard picture style, ISO1600, Magic lantern (used auto restart feature for the video), manual focus.

Video was synced with the audio track using Pluraleyes from Singular Software, and the video was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, on a Windows 7 Dell PC (Intel i7 and USB 3.0 for a faster workflow).

Geoff from geoffmobile.com does a 30 minute improv / practice / performance on his Korg MS-2000B synthesizer.

Geoff (me) is still a beginner at synthesizer but I think that I discovered some pretty cool sounds, textures, melodies, and harmonies. My musical background is originally from Classical Piano, and then I studied jazz piano for several years. Exploring the possibilities of the synthesizer is really amazing for me – I am discovering so many amazing sounds and new ways to express my musical ideas through this fantastic instrument.

For other music from me, check out the following playlist with my other synth jams:

or my jazz CD on iTunes:

I also have another channel dedicated to my jazz music:

At the end of this synth jam video, watch me learn the song “What Child is This” from memory (by ear) – showing the learning process for me, including how I deal with the mistakes and train my mind to learn the song in a matter of a few minutes. Maybe I’ll make another video with just this song for the New Year! (Check back soon )

Technical notes:
Both cameras are Canon EOS Rebel T2i (550D), both using the kit lens 18-55mm IS (with IS disabled, as the tripods are being used). Technicolor Cinestyle Picture style, Magic Lantern Unified. Edited with Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on a Windows 7 Dell PC (Intel i7, 16gb ram, and USB 3.0 for a faster workflow). The total rendering time for this video was around 6.5 hours due to the length of the material, and the color correction rendering (RGB Curves in Premiere) applied to both videos.

Audio was recorded in stereo from the synth into a Motu 8-pre (Firewire) hooked up to an old White Macbook running Logic. No mastering, EQ, or compression was done to the audio (it is right off the synth!). I hope my old macbook keeps running for a while since I am not sure if the great Motu interface will work with a PC (it requires a specific Texas Instruments Firewire chip on the computer which is hard to find nowadays).
