Wonderful one man band. Great instruments. One is a Chris Lions design, with his tuner invention. A Nighthawk.

One other thing I failed to mention: when I record my videos, I actually record the audio and video simultaneously into two programs. I’ve just been taking the video using PhotoBooth on my MacBook. It records the audio as well, but as you can imagine it’s poor quality. So, I record the audio by sending my guitar through iRig 2 into GarageBand, Logic, or any other DAW you might use. So each video I make captures the video in PhotoBooth and audio in PhotoBooth and GarageBand. Once I’ve got all the tracks performed, I mix and do whatever else that is needed in GarageBand and create an mp3. Back in iMovie, I put together all the videos and line them up so the timing is right, then I actually silence all the audio that came in with those videos (the audio that was recorded through the PhotoBooth video recording). I do that with each video, so that now I have a lined up, but totally silent movie with all the parts laid out. I then drag in the mp3 that I made so that I now have high-quality audio fully mixed to my liking. I sync up the mp3 with the video, and I can share that complete file as the final video. I hope this all makes sense!

@Poorness Studios I quickly found this tutorial. It’s admittedly not fantastic because the dude’s mic keeps going in and out. But you’ll get the idea of the mechanics of how to do this in iMovie if you have access to that: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAJPHKLAEv0.

Hey Poorness. I found a tutorial on how to do this in a hack-y way using iMovie. Basically, you create a video with a background as one layer. Then the vid you take of yourself you can do as in-screen and put in a corner. Save that as a movie in iMovie. From there, you create a brand new video for the next in-screen box. Pull in your first video into this movie as a track, then use it as a background against which you can put your new video as another in-screen box, positioned in some other place away from the first box. 

I’m sure this is sounding confusing, but I followed a tutorial in YouTube somewhere on this. If I can find it, I’ll add it to this discussion this weekend when I get a chance.

Very cool. What software did you use to do the triple screen? I tried to do something similar a while back and couldn't get it to work.
