Just saw this, but what got my attention was the overal quality of the video! and the things in the "intro" how did you record it/made the awesome intro transition?

My HD camera (actually an iPhone 5) is mounted on a boom mic stand using a 'gripper' mic clip over my head. I record a stereo feed from the board into my DAW (Logic Pro).

I don't do any production in Logic, just normalise and bounce the audio out to AIFF.

The footage is imported into iMovie where I start by syncing the audio stream to the footage then mute the audio picked up by the phone (so you don't hear button presses or keybed noise).
Finally add the titles and a fade to black transition. With iMovie you can just drag a transition or title you like over the video stream and in the immortal words of Steve Jobs: 'Boom'.
This takes about 10 minutes or so to get a project ready to export.

Only thing left is to render and export the complete movie. iMovie can export direct to YouTube, however I tend to do a session at a time where I record 4-5 of these so I always have a few in the bank in case I'm too busy to get something out on time. I'm putting one video out per week.

The only challenge I had was syncing the audio up. My less than scientific approach was simply to click a count with one hand before starting to play. This click is picked up on the camera's audio stream and it gives me a better idea of where to place the audio stream in iMovie.

I guess apple stuff is good for pictures/audio/video. Yet I am more of a productivity guy so I'm always torn between linux (debian with newest kernel) and windows 8. So sometimes good video production things are a little bit hard for me to use compared to stuff like iMovie.

Yep, I have to say that I had no idea how one would go about playing that... very good!
By the way... am I seeing some straight plug from the control pedal coming out of the back of the red machine??! ;)
That needs a angled plug too!

That was the triple pedal - it has since had the OCD right angle jack treatment - LOL!

I need to take a good look at my life...

That's pretty awesome, and I love the accompanying demo.

For some reason, I'd always pick the clavinet over the Rhodes for that song. But I guess the clav could more easily be faked by a guitar player.
