Original subtitles

You could do this in your f****** badger

You really could

I've heard

Absolutely disgusting s*** come out of some really

Pion

Studios and I've heard some amazing s*** come off some little kids laptop in LA

I think I signed one

Ultimately

You're going to end up in the digital Realm

No matter what whether you're guitarist a cellist

You know you play the

F****** jazz flute doesn't matter you're going to

You're going to end up on a computer at some point digital format not just because

You know digital formats better it's Walt

I mean in terms of

Portability yeah it is better because you know

Were you planning on Distributing your music on cassette

You know that this whole argument about all we recording analog oh we recording digital all we record

Young

On a gramophone doesn't matter because at the end of the day your delivery methods

Digital that's

Just the way it is

It might not be the ultimate

Most fidelity thing you like

24in

Tape

Could provide sonically but I mean if you want your stuff on you don't want to

The TV show are synced in the Fillmore

Rebroadcast Adele Saint other radio shows or

Upload it on the Internet or on iTunes

It's going to be digital

So

Capturing that sound is is his is going to be locked to the digital domain no matter what

So you must all become nice and

Cozy with that weather European

Astora

Or a computer

Guru kind of thing

First things first to shoot you got to get a good

Little computer and heading that could be you do anything from a cheap laptop to you-know-what decent-sized Mac

You know we're on all PC at either or all these apps are all cross-platform

Mac PC

Whatever

You know

I just prefer PC because

I don't know

I like it

You know

Getting under the hood a lot more often

PC then I could

But then when you kind of start to get a little more serious and do what you're going to need a good d a c which is digital audio

Converter

I've been using our Medics forever

I think investment-wise the

It was like the best thing I ever bought

It's like you know a good asio

PCI card

Hermione and it just had a tins 8 oz

Which was more than enough found because I only

Even to this day really only

Need

Why one stereo setup inputs at a time unless you start

Compassion crazy amounts of gear and then you're going to need

Sick IO for that but

To get started like a a 4 x 4 for in 4oz or

You know even you know

2 in 2 out like the echo am I a witch

I think it's discontinued bad. There's a whole bunch of similar products out there

But that the point is is that it should be a dedicated audio processing

PAN card

And not the one built into your motherboard and

Like that just because that's not

The drivers fortnite stuff just aren't up to

Bar to handle life

You know the true part of

Having all these recipes

And running them in really low lately

That's that's like

The first thing you need to get started

Start

Producing

Music on your own I mean yeah I mean you're going to need a digital audio workstation to matter what

And you know I'm that can be anywhere from

$200 copy of Fruity Loops to you know

An 800 dollar copy of

Cubase I org

Norway bladder

Ableton

You know this all sorts of options out there bit way again

Hi stuff so I mean there's a lot of Dosh that

Behave differently and you know but they all kind are the same under the hood and in the effect of you know you can

Import

Audio data it can record audio and a Smitty and has we St support

They all do

You're going to have to experiment and I'm not

Saying you don't you have to go and buy $30 and then start screwing around with him but I can guarantee you by Bob

9% all of them are looking to have trial version so you can go and

Grab and you just might not be able to export something or something the other but you know nothing's off-limits we have an internet connection

Connection in a computer

That supports that kind of stuff

So you know

Experimenting in terms of

Software is like

A great idea

So you just have to

The going find which one

Not the one you're most comfortable with and then pick that one because that's not that's a lot of

Duchess set you up for failure right there because then you're you're at the mercy of this dog you know in the end you're locked into what

The Stars workflow it so your workflow can

Connor

Play off of the features of one guy software so your ideas are

Basically being constrained and controlled by

Few developers and not

You know the

The whole in Paradiso

The more that you play with the more

You can expect

Be able to do in any of them

As far as Hardware

Since covid-19 dead the first

Kind of all rounder sent that I bought that I found really useful in a lot of my Productions was the access

Virus ti2

It was called

And they make a desktop version of that

You know that's

Super cheapest but I mean

Just that

Although the Sonic possibilities I got out of that thing

Straight

My

First kind of upgrade when I I started make money was to buy an actual sent the you know I went out and got a

Rackmount Moog Voyager

Which was like you know

Hey Samantha.

The cheapest smoking

Get butt

Wasn't cheap by a long shot when you're making like

Center bucks a week or something like that

And I didn't worry about

You know having a

Portico ndpr aventide or Weis

Yo at

Until way later in my car

Career

That's just this is all

Super nit

Looking at this point

I wouldn't recommend doing this on headphones open ear is

The best referee

Prince you're going to get

Headphones

From model to Model A can just be so deceiving

Even with

You know really high-quality listening at

Headphones like the really

Expensive

Sinai's rhe 8

Those are

Pretty table

Let you know

It doesn't quite

Reproduce

The sound that you're

Give me here in Anoka

Space because

Simulate

Call it goes directly in your

Ears

It's okay for sketching out ideas at low levels but in terms of your ear hearing health I wouldn't recommend

Because

As you start to make music or you're listening to music you have a tendency to keep

Turning up the game and it's kind of like a

The frog in a boiling

Pottorff

If you put a

Frog in a Boiling Pot of water is going to jump right out

Just like if you get into a room

Blasting you like

We have to leave because it's like

100

TD bewitch

Insanely loud

But

If you put the frog in a

A lukewarm it'll just kind of sat there and as you heat it up that frogs not going to

Sit there

Simmer and get used to it and then

Musical Boyland Diana

Ultimately.

Kind of what'll happen to your years to as you do you get

Used to hearing like

70 DB Within

Quiet you keep riding the volume riding volume up and up and up and up

And then you take your headphone

Phones off and you'll notice if you've been working for a really long time like

Like 384 hours

And then you've been doing

And you actually walk out

5 minute break

Walk back in don't change a thing put those headphones on and hit you

You'll actually be thrown back by how loud you were listening

I think you really shouldn't do any any any more prone to hearing damage

Monster headphones

You know

A pair of

Monitors I get questioned about a lot

Actually end

What I'm running here these like

Crazy atc's with your liking

Supertramp

Experimenting

Expensive bike

You don't need that

But

You do need monitors that you know

Meaning that you could go out and you know get a pair of like

Caracal

Rokit 8 sir you know

There

Pretty reasonably priced Rim audio stuff for anything--but

When you're monitoring making your own music and stuff like that you should really listen to and get familiarize

The stuff that you liked

To hearing your car wherever

On those monitors so

I do I listen to my own stuff because I know it on different sets of monitors and then I'll know how to like kind of compensate my neck

Max to make it match so

The options are pretty much

Endless when it comes to choosing monitors that work for you but

The idea is to be in a room

That is

Pretty small

And non-parallel walls

Would be great

Just because

Yeah the sound bounces

Casino so if it's bouncing off the back of a wall and coming back hearing all these weird reflections

And stuff like that

And it doesn't allow it it doesn't really hinder a lot of like of the writing process but the mixing and mastering in my

It might get a little weird there

Having a separate

South is a good idea too but

You know you have to be really careful with that because a lot of guys I know that have separate sub sometimes

You know drive too much signal to the sub

For you know when they're mixing or mastering if you're making music it doesn't again it doesn't really matter

But you know when it comes down to fine-tuning you the process it it might would cuz you can easily go way to

Heavy on the sub but then

When you play it back on another system like you don't want to test your mix out in the club or something I was

This could just be like overloaded beside because

The way that you made it if you don't sound as good in your room but it did just didn't translate on it

On a tune cyst

Be careful with that that's why I like working at flow volumes like

Semi maximum listening level is maybe like 85db

That's about 85db

Now yeah so it's like 85 decibels

In this room is

Doesn't

Isn't perceived to be very loud but it actually is if you and he listened to that at this level for like about 20 minutes

Start raining that sounds really quiet but it's not

But anyway around there is kind of like what I mix at on the I'm not I'm not stopping because you know if you start

Start really like driving the mix and then you don't need that you feel in your chest not stuff you get like what's called like listening

Fatigue

A course of time like being at a really loud concert

Nicest good practices

Good for your ears

Send

And I'll thank you for that

When you're about as old as Phil Collins

You can totally make a

Professional sounding track in a bedroom Studio

Play people do all time

I mean wait for f****** Skrillex's masterclass he'll laptop you up and down the f****** block

I'm serious he will because it's all uses you know and you can get really creative with all this in the

Box top so there's really

There's a

A very blurry line between you know kind of what I'm doing and you know

With all this s*** and then what you can just do using plugins you know I'm because it's like

I hate to say it but you know a lot of people don't care that you know they're listening 228 kilobit in

MP3 files

When there's

16-bit 44 1nn you would be

Awkwardly surprised with how many people can't hear the difference which is

Heartbreaking innocence but

It is what it is

So the process of

What you're using Universe obviously been debunked to s*** but what what

People dulac is

The ideas the forming of The Melodies and all that kind of stuff that's all super important s*** because weather

In the f****** $2000000 room with every f******

Consume Thor you're in on a laptop or whatever if you don't have

The ideas

Casino in in the melodic structure in into know what notes sound good together then you're

But either way dude you know

So that's that's

That's really refreshing to know like I would imagine if you

We're doing this

On a budget
