This is an original Franklin Brothers tune called New London Blues that we recorded last night.  It was four camera Mini-DV shoot, multitrack digital audio recorded and mixed with CoolEdit Pro, and video produced with Adobe Premier Pro 7.0. Start to finish took 12 hours.... a pizza... and several pots of coffee. :-)

Carl Franklin - Guitar and Vocals

Jay Franklin - Piano and Vocals

Kevin Carey - Bass and Vocals

Steve Kremidas - Drums

Cameras: Geoff Maciolek, his friends Will Nowak and Pearce Aurigemma, and Arthur Dzehelali..

Great job - that's some mean guitar you're playing.

Is that a PC88 you're brother is playing? [I have one too].

Dicovered .NetRocks a few weeks ago and have enjoying listening to the shows on a wearable MP3 player while I take some much needed exercise. Please keep up the good work.

Respect for your music making!

Very cool!!

I might have done some different stuff with the footage like some PIP since you have 4 cameras worth of footage. But great work for 12 hours.

Great song too.

We plan to do more. We were just impatient.. and a bit tired. :-)

We have more footage of New London (actually) that we want to put in some spots too.

Thanks!

Yep. Although he's just using it to trigger a GigaPiano

How do you like PPro? I heard you talking about getting an Mac for the video editing software it offers, does that mean that you are not satisfied with PPro?

Carl said:

I was thinking of getting an iMac because according to Rory, the best video chat/conferencing stuff is for the mac. I love PPro for video editing. It took longer to download the files via firewire than to edit the video. It's fabulous.

Ah - I was thinking I couldn't recognise which piano sound he was using. I was planning on maybe trading in my PC88 - I'll check out the GigaPiano - thanks.

GigaStudio is a great program. You need to dedicate a PC to it, but the samples stream from the disk, and last a looooooong time. Every note of the piano is a different multisample. The longer you hold it down, the more data gets streamed off the disc in to memory to play, and then gets discarded after it's played. Very slick, and no other sampler that uses RAM can touch it.

Re GigaStudio

Thanks Carl, I'm pretty ignorant on music electronics [I always played acoustic until I got the PC88], so that's really helpful. I've got several PCs so I should be able to host the program OK. Thanks again!

Is there going to be a second album from the Franklin Brothers? When is .NET Rocks the movie coming out?

Yes indeed! That's what we're working on now. It's a slow process, though.

> When is .NET Rocks the movie coming out?

End of the summer, knock on wood. :-)

Awesome, I didn't realize you are a guitar god!

I'd love to see some more footage of the whole band in frame at once. It kind of looked like you weren't in the same room until the end of the video. (I'll shut up now)

Gee, neither did I. *blush*

> It kind of looked like you weren't in the same room until the end of the video.

That was intentional, actually.

I was just thinking / wondering whether you've ever considered doing an item on PCs and music on your show?

It's clearly something you know a lot about, and Rory's into music too, and you've remarked a number of times on your show that it's not at all uncommon for software guys to be in to music too.

I listened to the piano demos on the TASCAM site, sounds pretty good - $79 for the GigaPiano [plus GigaStudio] is a lot cheaper than trading my PC88 - cheers!

Not a bad idea!

Cool! So has the New London Convention and Visitors Bureau contacted you yet for the rights?

Let me know when you go on the road, particularly when the bus will be hitting Fairbanks!
