    I am sure that it was a bit painful to have to prepare such a basic video, but for me, it confirmed a few things that I was only guessing at before. I really appreciate you taking the time to deliver this quality, basic information for folks like me who are getting started. Cheers.

    This guy gives us so much more than a sales video pitch. Great job Lenny. One of the best explained simple tutorials in plain english without the usual assumption of prior knowledge of such software installations! Practical and useful info. This is 5 yrs old, but where is Len now, still working for Kosmic? He'd be an excellent audio consultant. ty.

    Hi Leonard,
    I wish that I had had access to your tutorial when I was starting out because it is the clearest, most comprehensive, and easily understandable that I have seen/heard, not only about the topics at hand, but also including tips and other useful pieces of information.
    Thanks.

  • @faithministrynotes-mas
    @faithministrynotes-mas 4 года назад +2

    Thank you Leonard, this was extremely helpful. I just started learning to use n-Track, which is less complicated than Logic (and I need a change of pace anyway). I already have the presonus audiobox and a couple of the presonus firestudio 8's in my studio. I'm investing time in the n-Track because it lightwieght and simple for getting past the procrastination with having too much that takes away from my inspiration with logic. I may at this point do all of my major recording with n-Track and just revert to Logic to Master. I've just subscribed, I'm sure I could learn alot from you. Cheers!

  • @DanielOrtegoUSA
    @DanielOrtegoUSA 11 лет назад

    Excellent instructional set-up overview. Being new myself I could have benefited from this when I got started. Since the rules apply for just about any interface box, I feel that this video should be required viewing. Thanks!

    • @markmeyers6693
      @markmeyers6693 7 лет назад

      DUDE! AS A 30yr GUITAR PLAYER NEW TO DIGITAL RECORDING: DO NOT GET THE PRESONUS AUDIOBOX OR STUDIO 1! THE MIC PRES SOUND AWFUL! PLUS, EVEN WITH THE GAIN SET TO ZERO, A MILD SPANK FROM A GUITAR WITH PASSIVE PICKUPS WILL CAUSE THE "BAD" BLUE LIGHTS TO FLASH SHOWING YOU WHEN AND WHERE YOU'RE RECORDING DISTORTION. STUDIO 1 IS SO "USER-UNFRIENDLY" IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY:
      GET LOGIC PRO X: $200 AND YOU GOT THE BEST (OPINION) DAW EVER FOR HALF THE PRICE OF OTHER HIGH END DAWS. AND IF YOU'RE THINKING OF GETTING AN AUDIOBOX WITH THE FREE STUDIO 1 DOWNLOAD: IT'S "STUDIO 1 ARTIST", WHICH MEAN YOU CANNOT USE ANYTHING 3RD PARTY. NO PLUG-INS OR ANYTHING. I HAD TO SPEND AN EXTRA $80 FOR THE REWIRE SUPPORT PACKAGE. TOTAL RIP OFF. IF YOU WANNA GET OVERWHELMED REALLY FAST WHILE STARING AT A SCREEN OF STUFF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND: PRESONUS 'STUDIO 1' IS FOR YOU. ;) (jus' tryin' to help, bro!) Peace.

    Watch the video at 14:00, it sounds like your problem is that you don't have the right devices selected in your recording software. You need to make sure you have the external sound card selected and that the correct input is selected.

    Yes, Just use the alternate headphone jack that comes with them. I use them and I dont know why people complain about them. I use Studios, Pros, and I've used Mixers. I love using them. I used the ones that came with the PreSonus audiobox studio bundle and prefer beats. But I guess just like with FL Studio vs Other DAW's, Beats vs Other Headphones will never be publicly accepted.

  • @Aristowi
    @Aristowi 12 лет назад

    Great video. One question, I thought it was a good idea to plug the monitor speakers in the interface to get the sound directly out of it. Where do you have plugged the speakers then? Directly to the computer build-in output? If so, does the sound come out from the internal soundcard even with the interface plugged in and selected? Thanks. PC user by the way.

Unless anyone else has recommendations so i can learn from others mistakes? haha

    The problem is simple in that you are getting electric feedback because you are probably powering your decks mixer and pc from the same power circuit. Use a long extension from somewhere else in the house to seperate your pc from the decks
    and that should fix it up!
