best plugins for solo artists - what helped me make an album by myself
I hate ads for audio plugins just as much as you do. these are the few that have actually helped me make my most recent EP by myself.
Here's a link to the new EP:

Point and laugh at me cuz im a noob and i wanted a little experiment. I used Sonarworks Reference 4 (which later became SoundID), but theres a lot of other options like Arc Studio, Dirac Live Room, Waves Tract, and Trinnov Audio. but also, you can pre-save that new EP I mentioned here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/brandonwells/liminal The monitors I used: Eris 8: legacy.presonus.com/products/Eris-...

    Great video! Very informative. Quick question, since you're not really maxing out the HX's DSP, what's the biggest reason to use these two pedals in tandem? With the new ToneX update, which now allows FX to be used alongside captures, do you think you'd be able to do what you do, with only the ToneX?

    • @BrandonWells
      @BrandonWells 6 дней назад

      I was using both because I wanted the amp sounds from tonex, not from the HX. Whenever this new tonex firmware drops, I'll be switching to just the tonex as my pedal and my HX will be a backup.

    For building your own cables, if you havent started already, it;s not very complicated. Just watch some general safety and how to videos and start doing it! Make sure you buy/build a good fume extractor. I find a lot of people who solder don't emphasize the importance of a good fume extractor. I wear an n95 mask and use a fume extractor. You will save yourself tons of money and time by building you own gear.

    Ayo! Love the video. Couple questions if you don’t mind! 1. Has the PlayAudio12 still held up? Trying to find a used one (so hard to find), but hoping that the reliability is truly what everyone says it is. 2. Do your bandmates still use the Phenyx Pro ears? We’re about to buy a dual pack single transmitter unit to save cost since we are broke boys but we definitely want to make sure they’ll work for the small venues we typically play, especially without a RF fin at the moment. Thanks homie!

    • @BrandonWells
      @BrandonWells Месяц назад

      1. yeah I've never had any issues with it. not once! 2. yeah they're still on those PP ears. still the occasional random clicks or fuzz, but I imagine it's from all the antennas I have. overall they work just fine and it's stereo, so they're happy

    For those different sized wall plugs, I actually bought a pack of mini extension cords (grounded) so that I could gaff/secure the plugs to the wall, have an even plug-sized plug to go into my power conditioner, and be able to utilize all of my power inputs. I also have the XR18 and I'm thinking about moving our mono in-ears to stereo. How do you find bridging those aux inputs and main l/r inputs in mixing station/whatever software you use for the mixer?

    • @BrandonWells
      @BrandonWells 2 месяца назад

      I've basically done the same thing at this point. it's not really as clean as I want, but it's easier to plug into the power conditioners. as for the XR18, the outputs are pretty straight forward with your routing. for my ears, I use AUX 1 & 2, so you just configure the channel volumes independently for your left and right ears across those two AUX sends. If you have an IEM utilizing the main outputs, that one is just convenient in one channel instead of dealing with 2 separate sends.

    I ended up not getting a mixer and just using the digital mixer in the DAW with a giant interface with 18 inputs and 8 outputs. Most of the outs go to our IEMs and just like you three of them are tracks and the bass stems. I ended up having to mount a strange looking power conditioner where half the plugs face one way and half face the other way just to get most of my plugs to fit. It also has a couple of usb ports to charge my phone or something

    Thanks for the helpful video! We've been using our x32 digital rack as the usb interface for playback so that we don't have to take up additional inputs. However we aren't able to record as an audio interface if we are using the mixer as the playback device. The playaudio12 looks like a good solution. Are you using 1/4" to XLR from playaudio12 to the mixer directly? Is a DI box not required? Thanks!

    • @BrandonWells
      @BrandonWells 2 месяца назад

      oh rad! yeah I just have a bunch of 1/4" to XLR running from the PA12 to the behringer. the outputs from the pa12 are balanced already as well, so you dont need a d.i. box. just configure 2 of the outputs from PA12 for sending your tracks to the FOH, or you can just any of the AUX/output channels from your x32 as a split essentially for FOH
