I haven’t yet uploaded this to YouTube but will in the next few days. When I do, I’ll update the link here.
Edit: I uploaded to Facebook instead. Link has been updated, but you don’t have to have a Facebook account to view it.
Late last year, my CEO stated his intention to have a contest where the winner gets to be the CEO for the day. (Technically, you accompany him for one day, join in all of his meetings, etc.) This will occur in our global HQ located in Vienna. Free trips to awesome European cities are always welcomed, so of course I was all over it.
I made it past the initial round of (dis)qualification and am now in the finals, which requires me to create a video (up to 3 minutes long) that can be “serious, funny or very funny” (according to the CEO). The entire company will get the chance to view the videos of all 10 finalists and vote.
The deadline for submission is 10 Feb, which is why I haven’t yet uploaded to YouTube. But I did put it in my Box account so that I could share it with you. Obviously, there is music involved.
Enjoy! And I hope you find the self-deprecating humor funny as well!
Vocals: Neumann TLM103 > MindPrint EnVoice MKII > Scarlett 18i8 > Cubase
Rhythm guitars: Gibson SG and a JB Player > MindPrint EnVoice MKII > Scarlett 18i8 > Cubase
Bass: Fender Jazz > MindPrint EnVoice MKII > Scarlett 18i8 > Cubase
Drums: Jamstix 3.6 > Battery 4
Because I had to record the guitars at night, I used Guitar Rig Pro instead of mic’ing the Marshall. Melodyne was used on the vocals; FabFilter C2, Q2, De-esser, and Limiter were used in various places; and Variety of Sound SlickHDR and FerricTDS were used also in mastering.
Video: recorded on a small Canon on a tripod.
Dialog: recorded using the Neumann TLM103 on a boom stand and “mixed” (compression and EQ only) in Cubase.
Results were composed in CyberLink PowerDirector 14.
