YouTube Creators

Youtube is the growing global network similar to Sky but on demand version. I love the platform. To me its the digital version of Terrestrial TV. For a whole range of artists and visual creators Youtube allows, it amazing. It’s not perfect, but nothing is. It would be interesting if Youtube applied this music chart system approach to the platform? Say if you have 10 million people watching youtube in a space of three hours on 20 channels. The subscribe button acts as the portal for channels entering the chart. All new likes act as the climbing up and down numbers. The view count acts as a growth scale to see who gets noticed by sponsors ( As they are doing now I think?). Normally how Youtube reacts this way is by releasing regular content mainly on a weekly basis. You have to be polite with certain words depending in the content you are releasing ( What I learned from channel Popcorned Plannet) but depends whats going on in the world.  YouTube being a global network, it does get ef...

Apple Music for Your Ears?

  Like many people I assumed this was either a cleaning issue or a charging issue? As many people do I looked on Google search and Youtube for a solution. Watch the video to find out what I discovered Thanks to channel Macrumours for the one of the very few videos I found on Youtube search that saved me from buying a new pair.  I thought they were beyond repair.

My Video Portfolio: Introduction, How I Roll and Videos

Image
Introduction I love editing and have fun with footage and audio.  My name is Paul Readman, I am a freelance audio / video editor  This began  when I was broadcasting  live on net radio.  I edited various interviews for my Bandcamp and I was told I have  good ear audio editing. I began by uploading gig footage, interviews, news Vlogs and other videos on Youtube.  I saw this as a progression for my skills to grow and   experiments I like the idea of using footage for effects, overlayering as well as adding effects to footage.  I also try to recycle footage where I can and shot fresh / on location How I Roll I get a project I listen to what is required.  If needed I  source footage. I take footage and match the quality to every other I have or near it If required I upscale to near as 4k as possible Sometimes you come across footage that can add a visual curve to the story. I then edit a dra ft.  Feedback is roughly around 90%...

The History of Record Shops, Podcast?

 This might work it this might not. This will be sourced from videos a make. This will not be radio shows like I have recorded in that past. This will be an audio documentary of sorts. We shall see

History of Record Shops ( HORSH) Video Series

As always these things start off as ideas. I just opened a blog and write down what I could remember.  I  knew somewhere along the line there would be a video of some kind. Why the hell not. Let's make a documentary? At first I didn't know how to approach this.  With the footage and audio I have record it became pretty clear.   I have filmed at Strummer Room Records and Mac’s Music Store, both in Banbury.  When I get to Edmonton, Canada, I will be filming in shops there. I have had already a reply back from one shop owner. The goal is to find out the local history. I am noticing independent traders opening up in many places. We are in the aftermath of what is the worst global virus to hit the earth in a century. This has seemingly lit a fire under people. The is the full version of what I filmed  at Mac’s Music Store, one of the latest walk in music stores to make it’s mark The promo for the Pop Up shop that Strummer Room Records, opens on a regular basis t...

Knowing music knowledge

Wandering around Google Search and found this? WELCOME. No one knows everything about vinyl, but I have to say I recently realised that I know more about  music in terms of whats valuable and whats not  than I thought. I like supporting local record shops and I was looking through a box in Strummer Room Records, where I buy vinyl from and thinking when I was looking at a box of original Drum & Bass vinyl “Thats  good, that should be priced more”  I was talking to the  owner and I mentioned about the labels and sub labels and I mentioned the boxes of a dance vinyl he had as well. I’m a reseller by heart  its in my blood. I sorted some vinyl that I selected some titles that I knew that could be pushed more. I ran my own record shop Demand Records and I am still known for that. It's kinds like being a Youtuber. I know lot of about many sounds and what to look for.   I was pretty surprised to be honest what your memory stores. Vinyl is my main music f...
