Most of these tunes were recorded to demonstrate one of my for-sale banjos or else one of my personal banjos. I record sound using a MXL DRK condensor mike and Audacity Software. I record video on a Flip Video camera using a black cloth backdrop and fairly low room lighting and, when I make a YouTube clip, I splice video to audio using Pinnacle Studio 12 software. I'm still learning about recording, so I welcome any comments.
