OK this is a special moment. It's my first attempt at a drum cover, published on my first attempt at a self-hosted PeerTube instance ? ?
I'm interested to know if you get stuttering on desktop or mobile devices. Is audio in sync with video? Still figuring this all out and tweaking things.
Regarding the video itself: it's a little raw and I'm definitely not "youTube-ready" -- but I prefer things that way now.

@mike Fantastic, thanks so much for helping me test it, Mike!
Mike Stone
@killyourfm Came across flawlessly to me. Everything looked synced and there was no audio/video stuttering.
Seasons of Jason
@obryanb YES! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
Brendhan
@killyourfm On desktop (Google Chrome). No stuttering and audio seems in sync.
Looks good.
Seasons of Jason
@camaru thank you! I honestly feel like those years of playing Rock Band with the cymbal expansion helped me subconsciously learn some of the fundamentals. And maybe to more easily identify beats. Forever grateful to Harmonix for that game…
I appreciate you watching and giving feedback.
Ale Cámara
@killyourfm oh wow! I’ve been learning for more than 2y and I don’t think I could make a cover like that! ? Well done!
The video was in sync and smooth on my iPhone 13 mini using the embedded browser of the Metatext app (I suspect it’s just the vanilla Safari).

@FunctionKey thanks ?
FunctionKey
@killyourfm Good on Firefox mobile as well.
Rock on!!

@AdamBishop thanks for helping me test Adam!
Adam Bishop
@killyourfm Perfect on mobile in the Mastodon web app! Nice! ??
Seasons of Jason
@e_sphaera or you have a sensitive and likely correct ear, and when I synced up the audio recording of my drums to the video I didn’t do it perfectly ?

@killyourfm
No stuttering, but I hear the sound with a slight delay virtually off-beat (means: when you lift back the stick :).
Seasons of Jason
@sbm Ah, thanks for that tip! I need a lot of work on basic techniques like that.
Sam makes music & photos
@killyourfm I’d say so, because that’s not the drumming of a beginner just one week in!
Tip: try to keep your pinkie finger connected to the stick (probably noticed because it’s still one of my worst habits) as it can aid your control, especially at high speed.
Video looks/sounds great – no stutters loading page via in-app browser in Ivory.

@funnylookinhat HAHA, thanks for watching man!

@killyourfm came for the drumming, stayed for the fosdem shirt. :-)
Looks and sounds good to me - and that's excellent for only drumming for one week!
Seasons of Jason
@obryanb The setup flow was basically: Install Cloudron through the Linode marketplace, use Cloudron to one-click install PeerTube.
No command line was involved, which was a pleasant surprise!
(The Linode is a Dedicated 2 CPU core / 4GB RAM)
Brendhan
@killyourfm I'm thinking of setting up my own #peertube in the near future.
May I ask if you are using a CDN or is this coming straight from your server?
justforfun
@killyourfm
Looking and sounding great.
Everything is synched up on my end (mobile web-app).
Seasons of Jason
@justforfun That's great, thanks for letting me know!
Seasons of Jason
@paco Amen to that!

@killyourfm You are awesome. I’m about the same age and did something similar. I started on bass guitar in January. Too self conscious to post videos of me playing yet. But hats off to you. It’s never too late to rock!
Seasons of Jason
@Stretch882 Thank YOU for watching and being so enthusiastic!
Stretch882
@killyourfm looks like you're having a blast!! Thanks for sharing. That was excellent!
Seasons of Jason
@hearsepileup Heh, I think I was rushing and dragging depending on the section. It's DAMN challenging the first few times you strip out the original drum track!
Truthfully, I recorded another attempt a couple days ago without the original drums track, AND without a click track, and it was a disaster...
Hearse Pileup
@killyourfm well that was a journey down memory lane - thanks! Impressive for seven days. The real question is were you rushing or were you dragging? ??
I was on a 4g connection into work and got a couple of freezes toward beginning and and of bid, but I don't think it's much different from watching YouTube under similar circumstances!
Seasons of Jason
@thanius It WAS featured on Rock Band (can't remember if it was on-disc or DLC).
I'm convinced a lot of the fundamentals transferred over from Rock Band to a real kit -- I think people who transition from that to the real thing have a big advantage, but I did have to watch some other drum covers to see how it's done properly.
Also, my technique sucks but I'll get there :D
Seasons of Jason
@tbs Thank you for checking!
tbs
@killyourfm Absolutely fine in desktop and mobile Firefox. Good job ?
profbib
@killyourfm
Not a single bit of stuttering, and video/audio seemed perfectly synchronized. (The crash cymbal was handy for confirming that.) Nicely done!
Seasons of Jason
@profbib Wonderful! Thanks for helping me test things out.
Seasons of Jason
@waimus Well, that's a win! Thanks for checking.
thessalonikios lemonzest
@killyourfm watvhing from Bromite on Android it's unexpectedly runs smoothly.
Seasons of Jason
@hearsepileup I will FOREVER be grateful to Harmonix for that "game" -- if we want to call it a mere game...
And yea, everything I've absorbed about music urges me to just play with "feel" versus click-track precision. Practice makes perfect!
Hearse Pileup
@killyourfm Yeah, a click can be a challenge, I know talented drummers who get completely fucked up by a click track.
You did great - honestly you sound waaaaaaay better than 7 days practice. And I say that as someone who used to help run a 7 day music even for children; some of which had never played before. All that rock band-ing has evidently paid off!
Seasons of Jason
@Magess I didn't mean the video being youtube-ready, I meant me :D
It's a far cry from the aesthetic I had with Linux For Everyone, and the room's a mess. But it's just me being me now.
Magess :heart_ace:
@killyourfm I don't know what would make something youtube-ready, but the video itself played fine for me. No skips, everything was in sync (desktop).
Pretty good drumming for a week, I think!
Seasons of Jason
@maxhuertas Thank you ❤️ ?

@killyourfm this is good stuff man
Seasons of Jason
@Erik_W_B No, it looks like there's some kind of server issue happening. I can't see anything on my end either.
Erik W. Bjønnes
@killyourfm did you take it down?
I just get an error message when loading it in safari on iOS..
Seasons of Jason
@Erik_W_B Sorry about that, looks like a volume size problem I need to solve.
Erik W. Bjønnes
@killyourfm thank you, I’ll try to check it out later then :)
Seasons of Jason
@Erik_W_B I'm happy to answer any questions I can! I don't consider myself a highly technical user, but I've been able to navigate all this pretty easily.
And the error you experienced was because I didn't allocate enough space for the Docker image :D
Should be solved now! https://video.midreality.com/w/kvkySeQ9CFd3dyFabY1y9B
Erik W. Bjønnes
@killyourfm don’t worry, not a problem at all.
I’m a bit curious about peertube, so just interesting to see how it works and how it doesn’t.
Seasons of Jason
@cooleech thanks!

@killyourfm Audio si in-sync with video. Nice drumming, btw! ?
