@The_Bumble_Bard – I don’t know if you like techno… I want to share what I found.
So here we have Klangphonics with a ukulele and a phone (but not vibrating sound)
@katazumiri, oh man, those are each so amazing!! Added those onto my YouTube playlist immediately!! Ha, genuinely good music to listen to, not just a gimmick! I especially loved the coffee one and the lyrics for that! 😂 Also, in the vacuum one, the one guy really was spraying something the whole time – let’s just hope it was water! 😂 Oh, I also really loved the banjo one. Whatever filter (probably the wrong term) they put over the banjo really softened the sound and took away some of the harshness that banjos can sometimes have, and it worked so well with that! Thank you for sharing, friend!! 🙂
Sorry for the delay by the way! It’s been busy of course, but also… to be honest, I still have days I am really struggling with my health; so all my energy has to go into daily survival. I really hope I can continue to improve with that. I am trying to make some lifestyle changes with my diet, including removing most caffeine, so that has really helped with the heart palpitation issues I was having (though sadly that still does happen sometimes). Reconnecting to my love of ukulele is a priority for this coming year. Every time I do play though, I’m reminded how much I love it. Also, I am getting a piano keyboard this year because my family is helping me pay for it. Otherwise, it’d probably be another five years before I got it… if ever. So, I’m extremely grateful for that. Piano was my first instrument, so it’s very exciting to also reconnect to that. Also, like any respectable middle-aged lady, I’m going to try learning watercolor because someone gifted me that. Anyway, there’s my typical, stream-of-consciousness journal entry at random, please enjoy! 😉 😂
@The_Bumble_Bard – I’m glad you liked it.
I think the guys used the “Hall” sound effect when recording the banjo and other string instruments.
Coffee (or its component caffeine) is quite an interesting thing. On the one hand, it’s credited with many positive properties. On the other hand, if there are contraindications, the negative effects may outweigh the positive expectations. So sometimes it’s easier to give up coffee or find a substitute.
Good luck with mastering watercolors. Would you like to use your drawings for videos in the member chalenges?
@katazumiri, hmmm, really? I thought that the “Hall” effect was more of a reverb sound, not so much softening, but it’s been a while since I’ve done anything like that and it was in early 2000’s MIDI programs, lol.
That’s so true what you say about coffee / caffeine! It can be pretty good for your brain, as in warding off issues like Alzheimer’s and Dementia and such, allegedly, but if you’re a more anxious person, it can eventually be detrimental with exacerbating those issues. So sad, I lasted so long being able to drink multiple shots of espresso, and now I’m lucky if I can drink decaf without having problems (like later at night). The thing is, I love coffee so much, the taste and everything about it, so I’m not quite ready to completely give it up, since I am doing okay with the decaf, thankfully. But apparently I even have to be careful with things like tiramisu or espresso cakes because they will give me heart palpitations now – and I also love both those things. Yay, getting older! 😂😭
Thank you, I created a few paintings for Christmas gifts for my family, since I still am extremely strapped for cash after last year! I am really enjoying it so far. I’ll have to share some of those in my challenge videos – that’s a really good idear! Here’s a few of them for now (attached). 🙂
