Starboy | The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk | Violin Looping Pedal Cover

  • Hey all! Recently I've been listening to The Weeknd's new song (and album) on repeat, so I decided to do my usual thing and create a looping pedal cover of "Starboy." However, this time I had the opportunity to record this cover with a wireless microphone courtesy of the company, iSolo.
    Usually when I do looping pedal arrangements, I have to either record it on studio microphones which are not very portable, or through my violin's DI pick-up which sacrifices sound quality for convenience. With the iSolo, I found you get a nice medium between the two; you get a condenser microphone quality in a small wireless package. I can see this being super useful, especially for live performances where I want to be able to move freely on stage.
    Everything you hear (excluding the piano synths) were recorded with the iSolo wireless microphone. For my particular set-up, I attached the microphone to the side of my violin, and the wireless receiver to my Boss RC-300 via 1/4" guitar cable.
    You can check out iSolo's website here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/is...
    Full Disclosure: iSolo sent me this unit to use, but after trying it out, I genuinely think the microphone works great for the kinda of work I do!

      marks are the same, difference real instrument = more real music. A power who was killed by electro. on the video you can see the attentive person focused and feel when his notes are not advanced enough. He doesn’t just play the song but he tries to make his violin live by the music something not possible for a child which pleases the lover of the proffesional

    youtube's Algorithm is slowly killing off such talented and amazing channels like your own. despite this, please never stop making videos. your passion and talent put into your music is beautiful. even if you dont post videos on youtube, make something for people to see. dont let youtube destroy what you're making here.
    keep up the great work man, cant wait to see what you do next!

    • @coffey611
      @coffey611 Před 7 lety +12

      MusicalBunny1 not talented channels inparticular, just ones like this. youtube is now based off "watch minutes". so youtube wants you to make longer videos daily, which is difficult to do without getting burnt out or running out of ideas.
      with projects that consume a lot of time and energy like this here, youtube features it far less and suggests it far less than other things that are produced on a daily basis and are longer. like buzzfeed.
      thats why you see so little animations now a days. they take a lot of time and work.
      all youtube wants now is large companies who can produce more content and get more view time on their videos. they are trying to stay relevent. whether intentionally or not, they're killing off creativity in youtube videos.
