Carpet - Dirt Sign
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2015 1:21 pm
Hello Magic world. I am involved in a music project called "Carpet". We are based in Salisbury. After experimenting with various forms of visual media to support our live performances, I discovered Magic, and we have started using it in live performance and to create video from live recordings. Here is an example:
The sound recording is of the live performance of the music. We sent channels of audio to a Mac running Magic from the stage - one channel was a carefully positioned microphone, and the other came from an auxiliary send that was sending audio from the drum machine and a synth.
The video is fairly close to what was projected live, but I was able to tweak things slightly afterwards. I felt this was necessary as watching the video like this is different to watching the live performance at the gig, so I did a special "auxiliary mix" to generate this version. It is fairly similar to the original.
At the moment there are some other videos from the same gig on Vimeo, and I intend to post a couple more. I will add them to this forum in due course.
Please let us know what you think. We are new to this software, so any feedback would be most welcome.
Cheers. Simon.
