This one has been in the making for a couple good months.
I've recorded the outdoor footage and then a few months passed before I was able to do the rest.

Unfortunately I have tried to make this video in 1440p resolution since I've gotten such a display not long ago.

The problem I faced was that my framerate seemed inadequate unless I used GPU encoding. In my quick test it seemed fine.

But when I recorded the entire thing I've realized that the last half an hour is somehow missing. The file didn't stop, OBS didn't crash, it's just than when I imported the recorded screen capture into Olive - the video stream was ~30 min. shorter than the audio stream. That was quite bad, I've run out of stream and frustrated left it unfinished for another week or so.

When I came back I realized what the problem was. The video encoder slowly degraded in performance so 90% of the video is an abysmal slideshow, and the final 30 minutes somehow got so bad that even the timing and audio was messed up.

Lessons learned: don't use GPU video encoding.

I've decided to put in the extra 4 hours or so end finish the video because hopefully maybe someone will find it useful regardless.

I still think it's embarrassingly bad though.

Enjoy?

A deep dive into CHOW BYOD a.k.a Build-Our-Own Distortion (slideshow?)

--- LINKS: - Stable release: https://chowdsp.com/products.html#byod - Nightly builds - try this if the stable release doesn't work for you: https://chowdsp.com/nightly.html#byod - User manual: https://github.com/Chowdhury-DSP/BYOD/blob/main/manual/Manual.md#byod-user-manual --- APOLOGY I want to apologize for all the technical issues with this video. I wanted to try using screen recording in 1440p and despite brief testing looking good, it has proven to result in an absolutely abysmal frame rate of the screen capture, as well as audio corruption in the last part of this video. I have realized the full extent of the problem is even worse than I initially thought very late in the production. I decided to finish this video and publish it in the hope if it may be useful regardless, and also to not feel like I have completely wasted my effort and time making this. --- TIMESTAMPS (submitted by *mcord* - thank you!) 0:00 Intro 2:27 Centaur 5:50 Clean Gain 8:25 Diode Clipper 8:46 Mixer 12:20 Diode Rectifier 14:24 Dirty Tube 17:00 Oversampling factor and phase mode 18:02 Distortion Plus 21:11 GuitarML 24:42 Intermission: BYOD use cases 25:01 Hysteresis 28:42 Junior B 30:28 Metal Face 31:49 Muff Drive and Compressor 38:07 RONN 39:56 Range Booster 42:36 Tone King 46:02 Tube Screamer 46:52 Warp 48:33 Waveshaper 54:28 Intermission: BYOD impressions 55:31 Yen Drive 56:53 Amp IRs 1:00:39 Bass Cleaner (high-pass filter) 1:03:43 Baxandall EQ 1:04:48 High Cut (low-pass filter) 1:05:12 LoFi IRs 1:06:35 Muff Tone 1:08:53 SVF (State Variable Filter) 1:12:35 TS-Tone 1:14:31 Treble Booster (high shelf filter) 1:15:54 Clean Gain and DC Bias (DC offset) 1:17:45 DC Blocker (high-pass filter) 1:19:54 Frequency Splitter (cross-over filter) 1:21:56 Intermission: BYOD and Cardinal 1:41:49 Outro --- SUPPORT MY WORK: https://patreon.com/unfa https://liberapay.com/unfa https://paypal.me/unfa --- CHECK OUT MY MUSIC: https://audius.co/unfa https://unfa.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/unfa --- FIND MY VIDEOS: - PeerTube (open-source, decentralized): https://peertube.kx.studio/c/unfastudio/ - Odysee (user-side is open-source, centralized): https://odysee.com/@unfa - YouTube (fully proprietary, centralized): https://www.youtube.com/unfa000 --- GET IN TOUCH: https://mastodon.social/@unfa https://chat.unfa.xyz https://discord.gg/tgZSvht https://facebook.com/unfamusic (absolute last resort) --- LIVESTREAMS: - Next event: https://www.youtube.com/unfa000/live - Past events: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi2LbJnGR-482eAAihWd6exqyp0bQMfPX - Submit music: https://forms.gle/pLDetJM2WZf8eTRt5 --- ORDER OR PRINT YOUR OWN MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/unfa https://github.com/unfa/merch --- OTHER INFO: This video was produced exclusively with open-source software and GNU/Linux. - Studio software: https://archlinux.org (operating system) https://www.kde.org/plasma-desktop (desktop environment) https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/ (v. 0.1.2; video editing) https://obsproject.com/ (video capture / streaming) https://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/ (additional screen capture) https://www.blender.org/ (3d art and animation) https://inkscape.org/ (2d vector art and thumbnail images) https://gimp.org/ (photo manipulation) https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla (live audio processing) Audacity [pre MuseGroup version] (final audio touchup and level control) - Studio hardware: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X GPU: AMD Radeon 6800XT 16 GB Mobo: Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 Audio I/F: PreSonus Studio24C Mics: Behringer B-1 (condenser); Shure SM57 (dynamic) + A2WS; Boya BY-M1 (lavalier) Main cam: Panasonic Lumix GH5 Top cam: Logitech C920 Aux cam: OnePlus 5T MIDI controller: M-Audio Oxygen 49 MKIV Coffee machine: DeLonghi ECP33.21 Mug: https://is.gd/unfamug --- Now go, make some music!
