Hey everyone, thanks so much for all the kind feedback!

Willem - yeah, I’ve had a bit of a G.A.S. attack recently ;) Picked up a Line 6 Pod interface and a couple of mics, and some nice software came with the Line 6 - now just have to learn how to get the most out of this stuff. Thanks for watching.

Stuart, Jim and Michele - thanks, your comments mean a lot after the fine work you all had done on this thread.

Chris - appreciate the kind words. I agree Dylan’s strength has always been in his lyrics (I don’t think anyone even comes close to him in that area).

Brad, Daryl and Bob - thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed it.

Chas - thanks man. About the setup - the two mics are running into a Line 6 Pod Studio Kb37 interface, which in turn runs into a Macbook Pro running GarageBand, where I was able to enhance the sound a little.
The video was shot with my iPhone and imported into iMovie on the Macbook. To get the sound track from GarageBand into iMovie, I had to export it to iTunes first, then was able to just drag it into iMovie (this is the first time I’ve ever worked with separate sound & video - I suspect there’s a more efficient way to do it). The cool thing is, I know I’m just scratching the surface of what this gear can do, and it’s already sounding better than I expected.

Pierre - you’re pretty close, I didn’t have the lyrics up my sleeve, but on a screen just off camera - otherwise I usually mess up the last verse or two of that song, especially with a camera rolling. I do have a couple of other Dylan songs down fairly well - I would actually rather have done “Idiot Wind” instead, but it’s really too long to post here.

Marc - thanks, those high notes are a bit dicey for me - sometimes I can hit them, sometimes I can’t. Guess I was having a good night last night.

Jeff

Jeff that was outstanding. The quality of audio on the guitar and vocals was really pro level. You haven't sounded better than this. Great job!!!

Mark and Beaker, I really appreciate the comments. I was pleasantly surprised how things came together on this one.

Hi everyone,

Here's my contribution to the Dylan thread - If Not for You. I'm cheating a little. This is actually the George Harrison version, but given that Dylan wrote it I figured it was fair game.

Another experiment - a little hit and miss. But, hey we're busking right.

Thanks for watching.

Michele

Terrific, Michele! I love this old Dylan tune, and you did a great job with it. Sorry I'm so late to this thread.

Good job Jim. Another one of my favorite Dylan tunes.

A couple suggestions:
- Play it a little slower and try to keep the strumming a little steadier.
- And turn the mike down a little bit as your vocals were a little distorted.

Good going Jim, your playing is improving all the time. I agree with Daryl about the strumming, maybe playing with the original will help with the timing.

Good work

Marc
