F.A.I.L!

God... I had a fail moment today, so this is what happened....
I decided I wanted to record a new cover of the song Misery Business, by one of my favorite bands, Paramore (The song is pretty well-known actually).
I recorded the guitars first over the original track on Garageband, I recorded two separate guitar tracks, each playing exactly what both guitars play on the record, meaning that it would sound way more professional, but in order to make a video to upload on Youtube, I would have to record two separate videos of me playing each part and then put it together... and that's where it got complicated.

I used iMovie to record both videos (Again, I recorded two clips showing exactly what I played for that guitar track) I thought there was some sort of plug-in that put to clips on one screen (just one video) but it didn't, I looked on Youtube for tutorials, on websites, and nope, I didn't find what I was looking for. I called my fried Ian and he was the one to give me the bad news: "You can't do that on iMovie" he said... and that was the moment when I thought: " FAIL!!!" so I asked: "Do you know with what program I can do multiple videos on one"
He said FinalCut and I heard a little voice in my head ( in this case it was my brother Andre's voice) saying: "iMovie sucks, use FinalCut" so that means that I have to ask Ian for the program, learn how to use it and do it again so I can uploaded on Youtube... Oh my. what an Odyssey. O.O

Nevertheless, I have to say I had lots of fun recording the guitars on Garageband, it's an easy song, but really fun to play at the same time, so I don't regret anything I did. :)

Here is the song so you can have a preview (Check it out Coach Love) the video is kind of funny
