GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL BY :- Ian Wilson. ........................................................................ SOUND WAS ACHIEVED BY :- I played my Fender Stratocaster guitar, into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen USB Audio Interface, then into a 'Reaper Mixing Software' programme to record the sound whilst playing to the backing track of :- 'Mr Blue Sky' Using Reaper & Guitar Rig, I produced the desired sound required and saved the finished soundtrack to my computer as a MP3 file. Then I placed the camera footage onto the timeline in CyberLink PowerDirector19, 'BUT' I replaced the camera soundtrack with the 'NEW' computer mixed soundtrack from Reaper and Guitar Rig, re-edited the footage to produce the finished video of :- 'Mr Blue Sky' ..............................................................................................................
