Raw Technique Studios we appreciate you brother. I starting at ground zero trying to record my music but I have no idea how to hook up my 2 channel interface to my laptop and microphone to be able to record my vocals into my cpu. I have the Magic Music Maker Plus Edition. If you have time, I would appreciate your input as to what I need.
@@Deetruckin hey, sorry for the late response I barely saw this. But you would use a XLR cable from Mic to Interface then the interface should connect via USB or Thunderbolt or Firewire
Raw Technique Studios not a prob bro. That was exactly it. I’ve been recording for a few weeks now. Only to find out that the guy at our guitar center here in Dayton,Ohio recommended a mic for me that was actually a mic for performing and not recording. And me not knowing the difference fell for it. But everyone that here’s my music day they are really impressed with how I made it sound, but now I’m lookin for a better mic that won’t hit my pocket to hard lol
Bro i just bought some headphones on sweet water and one of the people from sales messaged me on how I found out about sweet water, and I told them about this video and sent them a link. Thank you for your videos, youve saved me some money.
You are a great man for taking the time to do this and explain everything. I understood most of it, but would have taken me a month to understand took me twenty minutes of listening to you. Thank you.
I've watched this video 5 years ago and that time i was still learning about music studio and this video has really helped me a lot and now I do recordings in my own songs. I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS IF U WANT TO LEARN ABOUT MUSIC STUDIO
only have watched this two minutes and you have not even put something back together yet and i have to say , thanks for taking the time. Very good tutorial.
@gtahero I like using a compressor before it goes in the computer because I get a controlled signal and the Pro VLA 2 adds a color to the signal that I like.
You can look up lessons online but off the top of my head I don't know any vocal coaches. You might be asking for a producer and it depends where you live. Just hit up studios near you.
I personally would advice against driving a signal through a compressor before it hits the computer, if the compression messes up the sound it's virtually impossible to undo.. Have you considered using a brickwall instead? That way you can still make sure no clipping occurs but the signal will still remain raw and under total control.. You could then drive the signal out from the computer and through the compressor once you start mixing?
I use to be against compression before printing the audio also because of the commitment. But after my professor in college being a huge fan of light compression before printing I decided to practice doing it and I love it. I make sure to never over compress because I know you are stuck with it and there is no going back. I always do light compression and make sure the recording is solid and still has life to it before recording. Brick wall limiting is not a issue in the studio environment because we can redo tracking so we set our levels at a low level and make sure to not get close to clipping. I can turn it up later. Brick wall limiting is great for live performances so the band never clips. Also radio uses brick wall limiting to ensure a loud level and no clip. It all comes down to preference and I prefer to commit to the beautiful sound of light compression during recording. If you are not over compressing you are good to go. And my professor was a Mastering Engineer for Sony so he knows his compression haha.
@Mulu Brhan It is not "better" it is different. It compresses before the audio is printed in Pro Tools. The plugins in Pro Tools or any DAW affect the already recorded audio not the incoming audio like a outboard compressor does.
I have been searching youtube for videos on everything from the basics to setting up a studio to complicated audio information. I am an analog age person. I recorded when cut and paste was actually cutting a piece of audio tape with a razor blade. So it's important to understand details that someone who grew up in a digital world would just take for granted. Thi is really the best video I found for giving the basic for setting up a studio. There are so many videos in an amazing studio and two minutes in your lost because their assumption of what should be basic knowledge is much to complex. You video does what it says, explains everything clearly, and taking apart and putting your studio back together is a great idea. Your explanations are clear and give the information that is the most essential. You don't go off on stories and superfluous information. Anything that isn't covered, the comments section will help with that. Hope you don't mind my mini-review of video I may (OR MAY NOT) being doing some work reviewing audio related web-sites and youtube videos, and thought your video was a good place to try some things.
@Ariel Cando I would prefer a controller instead of a mixer. Some mixers are controllers as well. I use my hard drive to save all my session and beats.
One more question. I recently bought two monitors but I also wanna use the two that I have right now where would the other two monitors that I just bought be connected
awesome tutorial, explains everything in detail. however, I would recommend going to Amazon to buy Gear, as they have many many more options, and base ur purchase decisions on websites/reviews. as far as setting up the tech, this tutorial is an amazing go to video.
Good video. I found a big improvement in my sound once I incorporated a lot more outboard equipment into my signal chain.Namely high quality mics ( AKG , Shure etc. ) , high quality preamps ( Neve , Sebatron etc. ) and good monitoring ( KrK , Genelec etc. ) In all I spent a lot of money but the results were well worth it.
I Agree To The Fact That You Can Get A Good Mix Provided You Learn & Know Your Studio Monitors Well 😏 But Jeez! #KRKs Make Poor Studio Monitors In My Opinion 😃 Even The #M-Audios Make Good Studio Monitors Compared To The #KRKs ☺ But Both #KRKs & #M-Audios Are Nothing In Comparison To The #Yamahas & The #JBLs 😉 The #Focals & The #Adams're Great Too, Though Alittle Bit Expensive 😃 But The #Yamahas & The #JBLs Are The Best Deal For Their Price 🤙
@@champsinger These nicer mics frequently require a 48v power source of some kind to work. My first attempt at plugging my Peavey cheap mic directly into my computer's mic port did not give very good results. A simple $45 second hand MBox2 audio-interface changed everything and now my lovely Shure KSM27 sounds great.
+Raw Technique Studios - Hip Hop/Rap Beats/Instrumentals, Mixing, Mastering i was working with my maschine for almost 6 months its fine but i have an que that should i buy and audio inter face for my krk monitors ???
Listen, it might seem silly, but one of the best things I can do for a person is pray for them. I'm so thankful you made this video. May the Most High bless you.
+Raw Technique Studios - Hip Hop/Rap Beats/Instrumentals, Mixing, Mastering Great video very informative, and I really appreciate the fact that you took apart everything and reassembled just to help people who are beginning and find all this very intimidating. Thank you :)
hey, first of all thank you for this wonderful video. also i wanted to ask is a pre amp needed if u have a good quality interface, and what are the benefits of having an external compressor in your opinion. because I'm thinking if i should buy a good interface along with a compressor rather than buying a good interface and also a preamp.
+EL NUEVE REAL (EL Nueve Real) You must have a preamp to record. It is what makes the microphone signal loud enough to be heard. But inside most interfaces are preamps. I use the stock pre's inside my interface. So it is optional to get an external pre or use the stock inside your interface. But it is a must to use a preamp. The compressor is optional. I like it for recording but you don't need it. The benefit is a way to control the dynamics before entering the computer.
According to their website, you just plug the Yeti into the computer. If you take a look at the specs, you will notice first thing is that the power required is 5v (which is pretty small). My Shure KSM27 requires 48v of power and if I just plugged it into the computer it would not work very well, if at all. Also, if you wanted to use more than one mic at a time like 8 or 9 mics to record a drum set, you would definitely want an interface similar to the one shown in the video so you could have each mic going to its own track.
I can't thank you enough for the awesome video. For people like me it was extremely important to see how everything starts and connects together... thank you.... thank you.... thank you
No problem glad it helped out! I am glad I made this video for that very purpose. I use to be lost on how to set up a studio so I figured now that I get it I can share the knowledge. More videos coming in a month or so!
bro bro I'm a indi producer from Detroit straight up an I've did music well but always on a budget always made good music but its ben all on me to fund everything.I've became good famous over the years but never did my set up to the next level and u just showed me how simple it is, I'm in the process rebuilding my set up and your VIDEO help a lot thanks from am OG
I'm trying to figure if this would be cheaper then going to a professional recording studio. I have no programming skills when it comes to these soft wear for music mixing. I need a soft proof room because I'm a singer too. Just wondering if it's worth it if i do a home studio or just go to a professional one.
Raw Technique Studios well I have so many songs and plan to make lots of albums. I figure it would be better in a professional studio however typically it could cost me 900 a day and that's not counting the hired muisicians I have to pay. I feel like it also would be a mistake because then I would feel too rushed because I'm on their time. the other issue is that I don't own a home yet so making a studio in a rented place seems dumb if it's going cost thousands to sound proof it. So i feel pretty stuck at the moment. Any suggestions
I have been renting since I started my studio and have moved twice. When in a home I just put up acoustic panels and foam for acoustic control and it worked great. Plus the benefits of your own studio are amazing. As much time as you need, stop and go whenever.... Don't look too much into soundproofing the room. Just treat it with panels. When I moved to a commercial building I spent thousands on treatment inside the walls, and outside the walls and it sounded great but I was getting the same quality in a bedroom with basic treatment and nothing inside the walls.
Raw Technique Studios oh my goodness thank you so much for that advice. I want it to sound very professional though like good enough for radio play. Do you think that's possible. I already know I need a Apple computer so I'll be getting that. Do I need musicians though? I want to be a solo artist and don't have much time to develop a band any suggestions. How much would all this cost me. I'm figuring in the long run I'll save a lot. what microphone do I need for my voice?
Raw Technique Studios couldn't I just hire one dude to do all the musical bad technical stuff. I'm the singer song writer so i need someone to run the other stuff even though i can play some music like violin and piano by ear i still need to be at a professional level. so I'm wondering if i can get one person to work all this for me.
This is an eye opening to many people like me and my crew, we say you are too much, we like your style. kindly keep on the good work. We gain a lot from this your work. We will love to ask you few questions when we have any challenge.
Raw Technique Studios - Hip Hop/Rap Beats/Instrumentals, Mixing, Mastering it's gonna be my blueprint for how I get it done... when I set it up I will shoot you some pics bro... again... thanks...
THANK YOU!!! Just bought a semi complete starter home recording pkg fr eBay just to get started. We have a big family so no extra space but I cleared out the top section of an armoire where I keep some of my eBay selling merch and set up the tiny recording stuff we got! Thank you thank you! God bless you on your endeavors - rachel
Good advice.The biggest improvement I got to my sound was when I upgraded my mic to an AKG C214 with a Sebatron preamp. The tubes in the preamp make the mike sound like butter. Great video keep it up !
Great Job young fella! Excellent seeing someone actually build it up from scratch including plugging everything in! I always learn something new watching videos like these. Thanks for sharing, from Wes.
this has really helped me out, please keep posting excellent videos, I can finally have a starting point not knowing anyone with music knowledge in person, youtube you saved me
Thanks for the info @Raw Technique Studios Nice detailed demonstration of how to set up your home project studio. I am just getting started on youtube doing similar stuff. Thanks for the insight!
As I've been out of the game for a long time this is the exact video I needed to baby step me through the process of what I need and how to connect it Thank you for an excellent vid
In my defense the desk I'm using is from Ikea so it's not all that great lol. But yeah you need some type of desk and if it looks good then thats a bonus.
I don't know you dude, but that was more informative than most videos in this category. Explaining everything in detail with step by step instructions, although technically it was backward by installing then shopping; you were very creative. You should probably update the video with how the studio is coming along and changes you have made since 2014. Thanks for a great video.
thanks for the heads up... like the interface your using plus the compressor. Being making beats with no midi for about 3 years so this helps me take it to the next level.
Wow!!!! for along long time i`m thinking of switching from old school ,analog,reel to reel tape recording to digital computerized recording,don`t get me wrong i still love the analog reel to reel style ,BUT,they don`t make tape no more or they`re expensive if i found one, this is the best tudorial ever i came across ,you took time to dismanltle n to re hook up all the units together,it take times but you did you `ve been helpful n i feel encouraged to make my move as i mentioned earlier,thank you so so much ,im` gonna follow you,respectz!!!!!n appreciated!!!!

You would need to have multiple outputs. Some interfaces/mixers have more than just main outs 1-2. so you would go 3-4.
So what interface would you recommend that has multiple outputs
Most should have it so just before you buy make sure it has more than outputs 1-2

THANK YOU!!! Just bought a semi complete starter home recording pkg fr eBay just to get started.

God bless you on your endeavors - rachel
Awesome glad you have it coming together!
Good advice.The biggest improvement I got to my sound was when I upgraded my mic to an AKG C214 with a Sebatron preamp. The tubes in the preamp make the mike sound like butter. Great video keep it up !
Awesome! I have to look into that pre

kishcub Thanks for watching and welcome back!
I Agree best tutorial i've ever seen, why can't every tutorial be like this thank you and well done.
Thanks! Glad you like it
Hey, thanks man. I am setting up my own video/audio production workplace and this has helped me to have a better understanding. Thank you.
Awesome! I will be making a new updated version soon
you forgot to mention you need a good desk to hold all the equipment lol. Good video!
In my defense the desk I'm using is from Ikea so it's not all that great lol. But yeah you need some type of desk and if it looks good then thats a bonus.
could you provide me with a link to the desk you bought? I can't find it on ikea.. p.s. these desks go for like 2 grand otherwise! thats crazy
thanks a lot for disassembling everything and putting everything back ...it was worth it.
No problem, thanks for watching!
I don't know you dude, but that was more informative than most videos in this category. Explaining everything in detail with step by step instructions, although technically it was backward by installing then shopping; you were very creative. You should probably update the video with how the studio is coming along and changes you have made since 2014. Thanks for a great video.
Appreciate that man. I do have a newer version on this channel link is in the description of this video. But my studio changes all the time.
I really like these steps you outlined. What a great job for some one like me who is just starting out. Thank you
Great video man thank you
Woah man, you certainly reached out for us. Rearranging that again is a pain in the arse haha. Cheers
Yeah it kind of was but glad it helped!
Awesome video thank you, i didn't know about the compressor or how to integrate to the equipment, now i learn something!
iam into music and i have recorded a few tracks, but is about time to build my own studio you made it look so easy, this video really help thanx man.
+Ishango Cartel Cool man, best of luck.
thanks for the heads up... like the interface your using plus the compressor. Being making beats with no midi for about 3 years so this helps me take it to the next level.

Wow!!!! for along long time i`m thinking of switching from old school ,analog,reel to reel tape recording to digital computerized recording,don`t get me wrong i still love the analog reel to reel style ,BUT,they don`t make tape no more or they`re expensive if i found one, this is the best tudorial ever i came across ,you took time to dismanltle n to re hook up all the units together,it take times but you did you `ve been helpful n i feel encouraged to make my move as i mentioned earlier,thank you so so much ,im` gonna follow you,respectz!!!!!n appreciated!!!!
