Tim, I have followed your channel for years now and have watched its growth. I was watching when you were at FPCNLR and just love to see that you are successful in your career. This is yet another incredible, informative video...but you always deliver and continue to up your game. You are such an incredible musician, educator, personality, and overall amazing human being. Wishing nothing less than God's Best for you, Brother. You are making a difference.
Hey! First time catching one of your videos. Thank you so much for going through your gear and process. Somehow, there aren’t very many resources that go into these details for recording live music to put out on social media. I play in, manage equipment for, run sound for, and work with an integrated band of adults with developmental disabilities and local professionals. It’s a really unique project that brings a lot of joy and hope to people that we would like to be able to share with the world. We’ve done a few professional videos and I’m just getting started with some better live shots so we can post more regularly and build a following.
So many music videos I've clicked off after 5 seconds and restrained myself from commenting "life is too short to listen to crappy audio". If you do nothing else, deliver quality sound.
Salut, j'ai vraiment apprécié ta vidéo et la façon de délivrer ton contenu. On ne cesse jamais d'apprendre et j'ai appris de nouvelles choses en la regardant. Continue mon ami. Je suis devenu un de tes supporters. A bientôt. Merci.
Could you possibly do a video on how to set up the irig for Android recordings? Like, how you plug it all together and from there what free software to use to edit it all well and easily together? I've been thinking about getting the irig for quite some time now since it is the easiest and cheapest way to get started on RUclips.
Hey Travis great presentation 0:08:32 Recording Video and Audio together it looks like you're using the line outs to input to the mic input for a camera. I would imagine that on a phone, one could use the audio in/out. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen. It has a single USB type b connection, two audio ins and two line outs. When I started recording, I just used my Android phone alone. Now since you have apparently given a road map, I think that I can see how to record my audio and video synchronously
Nice tips. It would be amazing a video focused on camera angles, sometimes is hard to find a good angle specially when you focus on the bass without showing face
Quick question for live recording does the iRig have a stereo input? I use a Behringer PM16 and I run the outs in stereo. Drums, vocals key and tracks. Thanks
I want to start using an irig with a mixer for live-streaming our church service to Facebook Live but my biggest concern is the distance from the iPhone camera to the mixer.
Hey friend, I bought the irig hdx you mentioned and used the right side of the stereo out on my in ear mixer, but the volume is low. (I recorded on voice recorder and the video camera on my iPhone). I also emailed you about a potential content idea if you are on tour with Charity.
Hey some good info here but not even larger venues around here have those individual monitor mixers. Maybe that’s common in churches but not where I (or almost any of the musicians I know) play. The question is how do you get decent sound in a club or festival, shows like that. Ideally with bass on its own channel so you can put it up in the mix. The video is no problem.
Does the iRig also work as a sound output from your phone? Lets say I want to duet someone on tiktok, Will I be able to hear the sound from tiktok if I plug my headphones into the irig? Also, as tiktok does not have a monitor feature, does the iRig have a direct monitoring switch?
I really want to get a 360 camera too, but i don't always get to record audio separately. need it to just record and be ready to post - how does the on board camera audio sound compared to like an Iphone?
Thank you for your efforts and the video. I would like to add another reason for creating content online - just for pleasure and in a hope to find people who may share the same passion 🙂
Well… very good tips at first! But what about playing anywhere with wedges? For me that‘s unfortunately the majority of gigs.. with audio engineers that don‘t want or can‘t record any audio.. just because 😂 Any tips for that?
@@TravisDykes thanks for getting back to me mate! I own the Go 2 and I'm not sure I have enough info here to make it work! Do you mean the clip it comes with? If so, how? Or did you find some other random clip that the Go 2's magnets stick to? If so, what is that? Thanks again for getting back to me :)
I record myself during church just using my iphone but we dont use IEM at the moment. By using the irig while recording myself can i still get a decent audio?
Only if you use a microphone to capture the audio from your amp. If you don’t have a direct signal or mic to use with the irig you may be better with going without the irig and using your phone mic in a good placement,
Wow next level cool!😎 so much good info, and bass oriented! I just launched my puny little channel 😂 this is the best video I’ve seen on the subject Thorshammer bass
You ain’t gonna wanna hear this but……, MacBook is the best way to go, I’ve been holding off for ages, but I’m taking the plunge with a MacBook Air 15inch 1tb storage, rest of my stuff is Apple, like iPhone, iPad Pro, which I’ve done really well with cos I’ve got the 1st generation 1 which is 10 years old, but I know I’m on limited time with it now, getting no more updates, thus, I’m taking the plunge with a MacBook finally
*Splitting your recording into a separate video track and audio track is #1.* The best tactic I've seen is to either use a noise making device that will produce a distinct fingerprint in sound, or simply a hand clap so you can look at the audio tracks and it's obviously a very distinct 2-D imprint in the timeline. 1 clap for audio, 2 claps when you think the take was good and worth using, 3 claps if you think it's probably crummy and these sorts of tactics. *One guy I saw giving tips used a pet training clicker because it gives such a distinct and thin spike.* I have one somewhere they're maybe 99 cents. A real time audio processing device is probably a good idea too. You can do so very much in post but if the signal is conditioned by an active device in real time, it can reduce or eliminate potential headaches like a background noise that is so loud it's toxic or other undesired shifts. *In fact, strange as it may sound but a noise gate* would be a good option because a lot of noise gates can be very finely tuned and they won't let background noise through due to the voltage magnitude being so low and even when you're talking or playing when that unwanted noise comes in, a modern day digital noise gate will still catch it and shunt it.
I use 2 methods, 1: Recording Seperate audio via my audio interface's loopback & syncing in post Or 2: Just plugging my camera into my capture card, simpler method.
@@JayfkProductions876 I'm old enough to be around since the days of analog 4-tracks when using standard sized consumer cassette tapes were still used, and by the time digital and analog infused, it was rather typical the cameras such as mini DV systems had an external microphone jack and you could transfer the video and audio to computer through Firewire and the audio and video were tracks independent of one another. Anyway, it meant people commonly using multiple microphones and recorders so by the time we all switched completely to digital, we had the standard of recording through multiple microphones, multiple devices and having several audio tracks to select from. If you have say 3 or 4 audio tracks using diversity, you can avoid crap like one being blasted with air noise at a critical point or something causing drop out. The short of it is using a shotgun or pencil mic for distance and 2 mics up close is covering all the bases. 1 close mic is a condenser with the appropriate pattern selected, 1 mic is a dynamic cardioid passive mic that will handle volume swells the best, and then one distance mic like a shotgun or pencil which ideally will reject the most wind noise and snag anything the other mics might miss. Then, on top of all that, wireless mic packs your subjects just wear that are concealed on their body because as I've been told by professionals, you will almost always end up using exclusively what you pull off the mic packs and for obvious reasons. The puny mic capsules used whether active or passive have the richest of sound and pickup the least amount of outside sounds including 2 people talking at once each equipped with wireless.
@@JonDeth I'm also from the ancient times of Cassettes & Mini DV, Probably not as far back since I'm from the 90's That setup's a bit much & unnecessary, wired or wireless mic to my Interface,.. Camera to the Computer via, capture card, Done. That said what describe is also great when the situations calls for it & yes 9 outta 10 times the wireless mic audio gets picked 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@JayfkProductions876 I'm talking for more significant circumstances such as filming an independent movie or a web TV series as opposed to social media. I would also go that far if I were recording live music because just in that regard, you should really have 3 cameras and 3 audio tracks with one ideally plugged into the soundboard. In terms of simplicity, mic packs and a shotgun condenser mic would be perfectly adequate. A music venue? I would still do 3 audio tracks. 1 off the board, 1 condenser and 1 cardioid. You get 3 very different audio tracks in such a scenario and obviously, mic packs aren't of any use. In the simplest setups with no use of mic packs, a condenser of some kind and a cardioid. The nice thing about having at least 2 mics and separate audio tracks is you can obviously blend them.
What a great timing. I was just starting my researches on this topic and now I got this video from you. Thanks a lot!

Great and informative! Thanks, I can see it's a lot of work, I spend hours and seem to get mediocre results. So, your vid is a big help!
Thanks!
i like how he doubled down on synonymously both in audio and typing it out lol
good video!

Good stuff! Keep up the good work Bass Brother. I love what youre doing.Thank you for sharing.
I love the point on "public accountability"!
This was a big help thank you so mush
Your video was perfect timing for me, been thinking very hard about this topic for the last 2 days. Thank you!

Great works brother. Keep up the good work. You’re helping a lot of us beginners get good trainings on all this.

Yes please do a deeper dive into #3 when you can TD . Thanks in advance.
Perfect timing! I just got a Zoom H6 essential yesterday🤙🏾
This is a great video... Very detailed yet very well explained.. God bless you my brother

Hey that Vid was really good some great points for my tube and future recordings. I just needed a push to step up to new level with my outputs
I appreciate this. Keep up the great work.
TRAVIS - you are LIFE saver ❤❤❤
It's like you read my mind, I was looking for a video like this 🙏
So much good information here. I’m getting some of those 360 cams! Thanks for this!
Nice video and info. I saw that Danny Gokey clip! Just saw his concert last night in VA and was low key hoping you’d be the bass player.
Great video. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get decent audio onto a phone for ages!
Holy crap that irig hack is crazy! I’m gonna try it tomorrow!
Super helpful, thanks!
A really informative video!!
also 3:12 Please do a video on this topic!!
This totally rocked, thanks for sharing your experience!!
Nice tips. It would be amazing a video focused on camera angles, sometimes is hard to find a good angle specially when you focus on the bass without showing face
Please make a video about setting your gear for recording audio & video together
Quick question for live recording does the iRig have a stereo input? I use a Behringer PM16 and I run the outs in stereo. Drums, vocals key and tracks. Thanks
Great video, just what I was looking for!
I still have the first generation irig from years ago 😅 still works great too !
Great 👍👍👍 I guess this basically gives a heads up on some tricky stuff.
I want to start using an irig with a mixer for live-streaming our church service to Facebook Live but my biggest concern is the distance from the iPhone camera to the mixer.
Just get the audio cable longer
Great content, thank you!!
GREAT! Never done it. But, have great ideas on how to start now. Thanks. 👊
Great video Travis! Would definitely like to see your in-depth take on how to direct people to your website,
Nice. What is the name and model of the camera you have shown at 20:49 of the video ? Thank you so much.
Tnx bro, very informative 🙏❤️
hi travis! I missed how you attached the camera to the headstock, can you explain that again?
Incredible info. Great video. Thanks

You, good Sir, are one smart dude! You should be charging for this wisdom!!!
nice video, i used to record just for have my own records, i dont do it that often, but i think i'll start again
Travis is taking us to school. Thanks, bro!!
Great content man!
Man, thank you!
Seriously good info man, thanks!
Dude thank you! This helps a ton 🥹🙏🏻🙌🏻
personally I use a Zoom AMS-24 interface. It Iphone and android compatible and usb or AA battery powered and it works great
Does the iRig also work as a sound output from your phone? Lets say I want to duet someone on tiktok, Will I be able to hear the sound from tiktok if I plug my headphones into the irig? Also, as tiktok does not have a monitor feature, does the iRig have a direct monitoring switch?
What did you use to put the insta360 go3s on. The neck shoot was amazing
I really want to get a 360 camera too, but i don't always get to record audio separately. need it to just record and be ready to post - how does the on board camera audio sound compared to like an Iphone?

Where can i buy that 1/4 cable splitter for live recording?
I have it linked my splitter in description! Marino Customs is site!
Thank you!
Thank you for the information , typing from south africa
Will the iRigHDx also work for Zoom calls? I teach music lessons on Zoom and this seems it would come in handy.
Yes but the audio input would have to come from the Irig which then means no mic volume. I’m sure there are ways around it but haven’t checked
Great runthrough!
Hey travis
Thanks man :)
Really enjoyed
Travis do you have any recommendations for people that teach bass online? Thx!
Perfect ⏰⏰
Welldone !
Audio is the most imporntant in my opinion .
Well… very good tips at first!
But what about playing anywhere with wedges? For me that‘s unfortunately the majority of gigs.. with audio engineers that don‘t want or can‘t record any audio.. just because 😂
Any tips for that?
12:05 😂I saw what you did there 😊
Insane lighting lol
Thanks for this video. How are you attaching the Go 2 to your bass?
I’m using a small rig clip that I clipped on to my headstock!
@@TravisDykes thanks for getting back to me mate! I own the Go 2 and I'm not sure I have enough info here to make it work! Do you mean the clip it comes with? If so, how?

What laptop/desktop would you recommend for video editing? (Budget friendly please)
You ain’t gonna wanna hear this but……, MacBook is the best way to go, I’ve been holding off for ages, but I’m taking the plunge with a MacBook Air 15inch 1tb storage, rest of my stuff is Apple, like iPhone, iPad Pro, which I’ve done really well with cos I’ve got the 1st generation 1 which is 10 years old, but I know I’m on limited time with it now, getting no more updates, thus, I’m taking the plunge with a MacBook finally
Bro this was necessary i very much appreciate it…
Please what's your take on v8 sound card
Hey bro which software u use to edit your videos?
Lol ok I saw it later in the video
Great video!
I use the iRig Pro2 great device with my iPhone 12
Nice video 👍🏾
Aww man. What church were you at in Memphis? My hometown!😊
I was at GraceLife in Memphis!
@@TravisDykes ahh Southeast part of Memphis. About 20 mins from me!
The pinstripe shirt can make you look slimmer or taller ....i noticed the one your wearing ........
Awesome
Sir. Travis I would like to learn from you on a one to one basis.
17:55 ntrance 😂
you playing with Charity this weekend?
In your opinion, what are the most important scales to know as a gospel bassist?
🔥🔥🔥
👏
so just a couple months ago.... Travis won the lottery.

this is more vlog advise than for musicians recording stuff..title is misleading. The video looks awesome though
You mean simultaneously, not synonymously.
Thank you. I realized this when I was proofing the video and realized I used the wrong word lol
