@terb Iā€™m curiousā€¦ do you use OBS for your cover recordings?

I needed something quick on Windows recently and found OpenShot, which is free and seems good.

Does OpenShot use the computer camera like OBS does? Or is just more for post production stuff?

OpenShot is just a video editor and transcoder.

not sure what OBS is exactly, I believe itā€™s some sort of video prouction software ? I donā€™t use this. I record the video part with the front camera of my smartphone (with Open Camera on Android), which is kinda primitive. the audio part is recorded with Reaper on the computer.

then I have to sync the audio and video parts, and for this I use VideoPad. probably not the best video editing software but itā€™s very simple. Iā€™m downloading OpenShot right now, Iā€™ll give it a try.

OBS is a free, open source camera software for Mac or PC. You can use the built in camera on the laptop, or an external camera connected to the computer. It shoots the video and records the audio simultaneously, so you can then take the finished video to your editing software (VideoPad, Premier Pro, etc) for post production without need for syncing audio and video. I have used it for my past few video covers.
Hereā€™s my shooting setup. Notice, the laptop in the foreground is the camera, using OBS.

Thank you for the information. Iā€™ll start getting into the production side more now that Iā€™m getting a lot more serious about playing.

A cover of Like A Stone by Audioslave. The audio isnā€™t perfect so I apologize.
