Codeword Zefferina is a band from Las Cruces, NM - and we played a show with them last weekend. Richard said it would be their last show as they had hit 'the wall'. They nevertheless, put on a kick ass show. I taped a bit of it and you can view beyond the break...
We got a new camcorder today - the panasonic HDC-tm700. They've come a long long way since I was a kid - but what hasn't technology-wise?
It's got the HD and 3 sensors, which used to be a feature you could only get on cameras costing a few thousand clams. This means it works very well in low light - which is most shooting conditions indoors. I plan on using this for audiopropellor extensively - I'm going to do a few videos on recording drums and mixing them.
Of course it beats the pants off of the iPhone camera, which I've been using for all of my performance videos.
It also has timelapse on it, which my wonderful wife listed as her first requirement - as this was her birthday present! It also has audio inputs and outputs and adjustable parameters for the onboard 5.1 microphone.

Loopback question
Hi Sam,
first off, I like the music and videos you make! Your video tutorial on SooperLooper, Mainstage and the FCB1010 got me started on looping so thanks for that!
I did switch to Zone Mobius (within Mainstage) though because SooperLooper was crashing too much (you know how to solve that)?
Anyway, I upgraded to Logic Studio 9 and would like to try out some looping with Loopback (I like not having to have an AU cover my Mainstage layout and also like the waveform). However, I can't seem to get the mapping right. Whenever I put Loopback in a slot on a channel strip I can't map my buttons to the controls. It only works when I put it on the instrument channel itself...
Would you be able to give a quick explanation/tutorial on setting up Mainstage with multiple instruments/patches and multiple instances of Loopback? That would be great!
Regards,
Michel (Looping enthusiast from The Netherlands)

Hi Michel,
Thanks for the kind words! I've posted some videos which will show you some techniques for working with Loopback.
