Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar - The Lamb Livestream Bits
Sometimes, when I think I've done a reasonable job of covering a song on a live stream I'll snip it out as a highlight. This is one such clip,, Pink Floyd's Have a Cigar...Sorry about the mic in front of the face,,, although it's probably for the best. Excuse the singing in the first verse, I try to 'keep it down' because of the neighbours but after about 2 minutes I thought 'sod it'. ? .. I'm really more of a guitarist than a singist.

Just having a little practice on the Fazley Mandolin to a bit of Steve Earl,, though I'd give the distortion pedal a go... ?

So this is the video I promised explaining how I used Line6 FBV Express MKII foot controller to play backing chords to accompany myself on the guitar. There are a few tricks to getting this working, and for that reason Reaper is the DAW of choice for this particular project.
Getting Reaper to recognise the MIDI data from the pedal is easy enough, but the pedal will transmit Midi CC commands. It doesn't transmit note data by default, so a custom plugin is used within Reaper to convert the CC data into the note data. The video shows pretty much the whole process, but if you want to try this yourself there are some additional resources you will need....
Installing the custom Plugin :
Download : https://www.thelamblive.com/files/ReaperCCtoNote.zip
Open Reaper and Choose Options - Show Reaper Resource Path in Explorer
This will open the Reaper resources folder,, navigate into the Effects folder.
Extract the above downloaded zip file directly into the Effects folder.
The plugin will now be installed after restarting Reaper. It is called JS: Midi CC Note Threshold
Scaler:
I use Scaler to convert individual MIDI notes into chords, however there is a free plugin that achieves this in a simple manner. https://freevstplugins.net/midichords/
Hopefully this is enough useful information and resources to allow other people to experiment with a similar idea... I couldn't find a lot of detail on how to do this on the net, so I would have loved a guide like this ;-)... It is quite a techie thing to do, so I'll answer questions in the comments, although I may not be able to solve all your problems ;-).

A snippet from the most recent Lamb Live show.. The very budget friendly Ayra TDC 444 light provides 4 sharp programmable beams that look absolutely great with a bit of a smoke in the studio. Also, I don't normally use this sort of guitar for Pink Floyd but the tone of the Fazley Hollowbody yet again shows it's class... what fun !.

So every live stream I try to entice a few people in by starting off with a few hand edited 'madverts'... basically spending ages going through old TV ads in the hope of finding some silly joke to make, and hopefully not too tasteless (not easy).
Here is the first 'season' of said edited clips all in one place for your viewing pleasure.

I was using very cheap (£20-ish) Amazon RGB parcans to provide a colourful wash to the back wall of the studio. However, with their fairly low output and tight beam angle, it took almost 8 of them to produce a consistent colourful wash across my back wall....
Cue the Ayra Armageddon 648 Flood fill and strobe lamp. An all LED and DMX controlled fixture with 648 high power RGB led's capable of outputting 100w+ of light across a huge 130 degree beam angle. For £125, I would never again need to worry about the positioning of loads of little parcans, and instead with one powerful blast, I can cover my rear in colourful illumination... .. and yes, I realise that sounds pretty kinky !.

So, as promised, here is a long winded video of me rambling on and showing how the Killing Me Softly track collab with Vivian Smiling was put together. Now I'm by no means a 'professional engineer or producer', but there are still plenty of tips and good advice that I've been given from some of the greatest producers in the business. Hopefully this will be of use to some people, maybe you'll even enjoy it... I'd be surprised though,, it's long.. be warned.
