Re: (with the links this time) 3 silent videos on You Tube and call for collaboration.

I had replied to this privately but someone with the initials KLOBACHAR 
asked if I was gonna answer. So i'll reprint this by popular demand.

"Hey Rune,

Well, lets see. I watched the whole video on my computer, and i thought 
it's
too long. I then picked up my Fernandes guitar w/sustainor pickup system. i
just started trying to find a good violin/horn/singing tone of some kind
using the Zvex Fuzz Factory as the base. I ran that into the Digitech Bad
Monkey to tame it a bit cause the FF is not easily controlled. I tried
swelling in the tone I got with a volume pedal before the FF but that 
didn't
work because of the gate function on the FF. So I used another volume pedal
after the distortion. That was the whole key. i could then swell in the 
full
bore effect, mostly i kept the volume way down with the pedal but I had 
lots
of headroom. Next I used a bit of reverb from a Didgitech Hardwire digital
reverb pedal. I then sent all that into a Line 6 DL 4 analog delay model
with the repeats set to almost runaway, almost too much. i tapped in a
multiple of what I felt was the "tempo" to a Boss DD 20. I then knew I 
would
have to stop it so I put another volume pedal after the delays. This all
happened real fast. I hit record on my pc running Audacity minimized it and
started Dr Ts silent vid. I just started slowly playing trying to maintain
control of the after distortion volume pedal. i had more volume availiable
than I needed and at the loudest point it actually overloaded something in
my chain a bit so a narrow escape there. i found that if I shake my finger
it starts the FF oscillating. Anyway right around when I thought would be
the end I used the last volume pedal and faded it out, left some silence
then swelled in the long ending. i was about 20-30 sec too long so I used
Audacity to trim from the silent spot I left in at the end before the final
swell. The only pc processing I did was to normalize the wav and trim it
from the silent part to 9:23. the length of the movie. I renderd it in Sony
Vegas."

Dr T said that at first he thought "too droney" but it grew on him. I
thanked him for allowing me too use his vid.
more than you wanted to know I'm sure,

Jeff

update, He (Dr T) asked for the wav file so he could make a full quality 
version, I'm thrilled!
