Hi there !
Anyone that might be remotely interested, I'm doing a wee 30min solo gig tonight, from my home, on Facebook.
Phil Thorne (Blueshome, here on the MM forum), does a weekly show on Facebook, and sometimes asks others to do one for him - so he asked me to do this one.
I've done plenty Youtube videos but never done anything live (online) before.
Guitars, piano & ukulele, plus vocals.
Tonight, Friday 19th March 2021 - 7.30pm GMT/UTC, on Facebook, on my FB page - Richard O'Donnell
Hope I can hold it together !!!!
PS. You should REALLY check out (Prof Scratchy) Allan Jones' FB Live shows

I'll still be at work but presumably I can't watch it on catch up?
Good luck!

long as I remember to chose the right options !!
Gotta remember to not look left-handed !
(particularly distressing when watching someone play a "left-handed" piano !!!)

I'll watch whilst on the wine then...it's Friday night after all and I long to be disorientated!! Ha ha !!! I’m sure you were disoriented, by the start of my FB Live show ! I was using 4 microphones - vocal & guitar mics, plus vocal & grand piano mics. The mics all went into my Bose Tonematch digital mixer I use for gigs. The USB (B) output of that plugged into my iPhone, via a Lightning to Camera USB connector. The issues I had, in case anyone else plans to try something similar, was getting the external audio (from my Tonematch mixer), to be recognised by the Facebook Live app. For Facebook Live, you need to mirror image the view, otherwise you look left-handed. No idea why FB Live does this - my normal iPhone camera doesn’t need the image reversed when just using the iPhone’s internal camera app. Anyway, once you are ready, you have to press start, and wait (around 5 seconds) for the red LIVE icon to show, to show your live feed has started. ONLY at that point should you plug in the USB cable into the Apple connector, already connected to the iPhone. I already had my iPhone set up, sideways (Landscape style) on a cradle, with the image mirror-imaged). As soon as I started FB Live, it gave a message that I need to set my phone the right way up, and showed my video feed sideways ! I tried to rotate it the right way, thought that was fine, so then plugged in my Tonematch mixer USB cable, and all hell broke loose ! Struggled to get the image the right way after that - ended up with myself the right way up, but could only manage that in Portrait style. At least that gave plenty screen to fit my whole quiff in the shot !!! Ha ha ha !!! Skip past the first song, and it’s less (!!!) crazy from then on. |

Eh, it saved in my phone, so i could stick it on my youtube page.
Youtube username is : snakehips81
I'm uploading it up to Youtube now. It will no doubt take quite a while to upload fully.
I have deleted the first song as it was sideways !!!
