It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Those sound really good. I heard Aurora a while back but I didn't realize it was made with the expansion.
Okay, I need your advice (or others) on how to record a video.
I want to play be able to play a song on my bass, play along to music playing from another source, and record it all to YouTube. I tried using a webcam mic, and it was terrible if audible at all.
Keep in mind, I won't be doing a lot of videos. My mother is in poor health, and I want to send her a video of me playing one of her favorite songs. With that said, I don't want to have to buy a lot of gear just to make one or two videos. I'd like to keep it on a "poor man's budget" as much as possible. Quality doesn't have to be great, but good enough that it sounds decent.
Do I need to get a specific mic? Run the amp and music source through my pc to some mixer? I've ran my bass through the pc and recorded it and a source sample through Audacity, but don't know what to do with video.
Any advice with be appreciated. I'm a noob when it comes to recording.
If you don't have a DAW you should be able to this in Reaper, they all share the same fundamental features. Create two tracks; the first being the recording (song you're using) and the second as the armed record track for your instrument. After you finish recording you can just dub the audio from reaper into what video you have.
Some tips: DI is going to be the easiest. If you must mic it I'd recommend using headphones to monitor playback from reaper to avoid that bleeding into the recording. If you want to get a more live sound I believe one or both Amplitube or Guitar Rig free/demos have decent bass amp+cab sims.
Find out the song tempo, or at least the beginning, and manually create at least a 1bar click to serve as a lead-in. This will give you time after hitting record to ready yourself and start at the appropriate time. You can mute this (or just delete it) when exporting the recording. Click on/off is a typical feature and while you could just use this, I personally wouldn't want a click to continue playing after the song has started. It will also be a huge distraction if the song deviates from perfect at any time.

I've done some of that in the past for recording audio with Audacity, no no problem there.
No clue how to do that. Any specific software I should use?
DI = "Direct Input?" Should I run the bass to my amp then to the soundcard, or just bypass the amp all together?
Sure. Windows Live Movie Maker will work fine for something like that.

If you need something more advanced feel free to go with Adobe Premier or Sony Vegas, but be prepared for a large learning curve. I use Vegas Pro and while it's not the industry-standard pro-editing package (that distinction goes to Avid Media Composer) it costs hundreds less and performs more or less the same.

WLMM works pretty well, but I prefer the older Movie Maker with XP. It was easier to align the audio in that.
Also, just to be a nuisance.. I'm opening for a benefit this weekend, so if you're in the Hannibal area, come support a good cause!

This is a new track I started this morning. I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out.

The first single will be out soon (hopefully by the end of the weekend) and we shot and finished the video for it today.

Yeah.
Yeah. We used a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition. It's pretty baller for the price.
Got one of these motherfuckers recently.
Ibanez GRG121DX, was around $220. Pretty satisfied with it so far. I also recommend Rocksmith on steam to anyone trying to learn. I've probably made more improvement from that than anything I had done in the last 5 years or so of sucking. Here's a video of some dude (not me) playing some Kansas:

Shoot in 4k and crop
It can shoot 4K but only @ 15fps
However, it can shoot 2.7K (2704x1440) @ 30fps so I might be able to do some kind of fake zooms in Vegas with that.
That's nice, and the price ain't bad.
That's pretty cool, but you have to use their cable? I can't just run my bass through the Line-In with an adapter like I usually do?
This made it a no-buy for me. The excuse is not being able to support all devices but this is redirecting attention from failing to support standardized interface and APIs as any other recording/modelling software does. This was also around release so I'd be interested if this has changed.
