Nice video, but it is a bit hard for me to hear your voice with the music.

Also, did anybody else notice how many videos from the black guys showed up in the right hand column? How did they horn in on an Everlast video?

The name "200DX" is used by several companies. Search 200DX on youtube and you'll see.

Actually, it depends on how videos are tagged, titled, and described. Keywords are used in searches, and related words are brought up.

Sorry about the music volume ... the last video I put out a couple people complained that they couldn't hear my music ... gee now I don't know what to do ... haha ... been a musician since 1962 now I'm about deaf LOL the software I was using was a little vague on sound track editing.

PS Changed the tags and title should help.

what software did you use?

It was the standard windows movie maker ... I went back and looked at it again ... I found a volume control ... it looks like once it's set you are stuck with the setting all the way through ... next time I'll be a little more diligent and bring the amplitude down a bit. The last few vids I've done were of nitro machines and I couldn't get the volume up high enough to cover the motors and I had complaints that the sound track was in the mud.

Since movie maker is free on a lot of computers, it's not something to complain about. But I have corel Video Studio ProX5. It comes with all the controls you could need, along with decent effects. And the bonus is that it is fairly cheap.

I recall seeing the same type of stuff in the sidebar even looking at everlast vids without any model number at all. Maybe it has something to do with the us vs. them comparisons. Of course it probably works the other way too, I'm sure there are no complaints from EL about that!

Actually, how about just using the music for intros, outtros and action-only scenes? When you are talking, I like to hear your voice without competition from the music.

I have made a revision of a review I did on an Everlast Powertig 200DX welder in which I lowered the volume of the sound track to bring out the dialog better ... http://youtu.be/Fvv4T0mhOqk

Finally got a chance to look at this over the weekend, nicely done. Very impressed with the music- is it your band? Are you doing multiple tracks all by yourself? Very tight, very well produced. Hear hear!

You guessed it ... multi-trckworkvia an old out of date computer ... I do everything ... actually at one point music was my life ... I have a degree in music/mass comunication and crtification as an audio engineer. Used to play rock when I was a youngster ... but mellowed over the decades, Stayed at the top 10 of the easy listening charts for my area at Reverb Nation for a while www.reverbnation.com/winkybrazzil

Very cool- I knew I was hearing some string bending in there. The music was putting me in mind of Jethro Tull, for some reason, or maybe David Gilmour's solo music- lots of good guitar work.

Wow ... Thanks Dave ... those are awesome complements as Floyd and Tull were some of my major influences … I had played guitar since the early
60’s and I picked up woodwinds when I was in my 40’s … Ian Anderson knocks my socks off.

Good Video! I like the one on "How to make a steel rose" too- Very cool

Thanks ... I like doing videos The only complaint people seemed to have with the original review was that the music bed was too high and it was interfering with the dialog so I brought the volume down about 40% and it helped. I could have done it without a sound track but I write and perform all my own music and it’s a way to showcase it.

Better Winky and you still got the music in there. Not sure if I saw the steel rose video, off to look.

Thanks Mike ... here is the link to help you find it http://youtu.be/2N01D3rbgwA Notice I showed my love for the 200DX. Still not perfect with TIG yet but I'll get there. I did throw the rose hard on the floor 3 times to make sure it was solid lmao.
