I want to start submitting something for the monthly challenges and haven’t gotten the video part figured out, although I have reviewed the instructional link to Bryce. I recorded myself playing with EP 364 in Logic and “bounced” the file out as an mp3 to desktop. Confused as to what to do next…any suggestions ? thanks, Jesse

Jesse you’ll have to upload your mp3 to YouTube. Brian doesn’t want us to upload files to the site…most likely due to viriuses i suppose??
So just create a YouTube channel and post the link or SoundCloud… etc
Hope this helps

Hello Jesse,
I’m no expert on these matters so if anyone else responds take their advice and ignore mine.
When I started doing these challenges I was in a similar position and was directed to Bryce’s instructions.From memory you need to:
1.Get a YouTube account. If you have a gmail account you probably already have a YouTube account, without realising it. I think you access it by delving into your gmail account.
2.If you can sort out YouTube you will find a button which enables you to upload – I think you press a red camera icon, then highlight the file you wish to submit. If it allows you to upload with a video, it takes approx 8 minutes.
3.Once uploaded, find your file and classify it as unlisted (without this no-one else can access it), I think you also need to say it’s not meant for kids.
4.A few columns to the right of your video file there is an icon showing 3 vertical dots – press that and you will be given the opportunity to get a link. Press this and it should say link sent to clipboard.
5.Go to AM Forum – section called Challenge Submission – fill in the response form (like this one) – in the Topic section say ‘Dec 2020 Challenge Submission response – your member name’.
6.Explain what your piece is, go a down a couple of lines, put in a few spaces then right click mouse and select ‘paste’. If everything has gone ok it will print the YouTube link.Press Submit button at the bottom.
Hopefully I’ve not forgotten anything – Good luck!

thx Mike…for now i guess I am trying to establish a link to SoundCloud and the “audio”, without video on this one to share? Once I get the video thing figured out I’ll set up another youtube account ( ive done that before to post family stuff…) and make it specific to AM. Jesse

Hi Jesse, you need to paste the SoundCloud link, like this:
By the way, fantastic playing!

LOL, just realized you can’t see the link I pasted because it put the image there.
It looks like this, without the quotes “https://soundcloud.com/goodall5150/ep-364 and needs to be on its own separate line.

Welcome Jesse, if that’s your Monthly Challenge post, would you please post it again in a new post with “December 2020 Member Challenge – Jesse S” in the subject line? That way people will hear it. Down here I’m afraid it’s lost.
I’ll be around in the day on Monday if you want help with anything. I’m sending you a friend request. If we’re friends we can use the messaging.

thanks JFL…I am figuring the site out and just starting with Logic Pro X …next step is integrating video . Not sure how I located your recent post of EP 304..really sounded pro ! Also saw the lessons that got you hooked on the site…311,312 and 313 which I will dig into this week. The one that got me was 284..nice boogie in E that I still can’t play at speed. Appreciate your comments. Jesse

Jesse, that was fantastic! I really like the tune and the sound. Like yourself, I struggled with posting video and audio on my 1st couple of submissions. Sunjamr Steve was really helpful. Many people just record directly to their phone and then post on Youtube or they may import the audio portion to a DAW like Garage Band and then reattach the video in something like I movies. Cheers.
