You Really Got Me – acoustic version

Gilligan: One way to capture audio from really anything on your computer (music videos, podcasts, video games, etc.) is to use Audacity. It’s a free little program with TONS of great features. Basically all you have to do is open up Audacity, select Stereo Mix and hit record. Then it will record whatever sounds come out of your computer which you can save as .wav or mp3s.

Whereas technical you are correct, I don’t think it is the best way to extract the audio. What you are basically doing is recording the audio through the soundcard. Not all soundcards are made equal. It would probably be better to extract the video and audio. But what you said will work.

That is incredible, all the years of seclusion, i never thought Id see this kinda stuff. just awesome..

This was GREAT, really enjoyed it!

That room they are playing in looks a lot like the place Dave was in when his Scrap book video came out a few weeks back. You know where he was singing Love Train.

Well I wasn’t too happy with this at first, but after watchiong it in HD on the big screen TV, turned up through the stereo, I like it alot better….Good stuff, maynard.

Of coruse, I’d still rather see them plugged in….

This was pretty good. Dave’s voice is obviously shredded in the higher register, so he has to strain now. Truth be told, he’s been singing that way for a while, but it was still ok. Otherwise, it’s just getting used to his “unmedicated” in-your-face style that’s new. By that, I mean the Spicoli-like surfer/stoner personality with the raspy, wheezy voice is long gone, as it also was in 2007-8. The background vocals sounded fine, but the guitar and drums were stuck so far in the background, it made all of the vocals stand out more than they probably should. It’ll be interesting to see if the other acoustic videos hold up better than this one.
