Found this channeled surfing The Universe Is opening Doors Retired Last year And Wanted to Set up a small studio and I did ( I'm Blessed I guess) Its Amazing Very Good Content Spoken Here. You Have My Attention Probably The Most Truth I've Heard about Getting Started on the U tube peepholes. (Dragon Fly's Always There !) Share Love be kind

What if you hook it up to 2 source that has 48v as in a mixer and a effect device

simple, straight to the point, Verry nice 👍

What Interface would you recommend for windows 11 with a specific driver?

Realtek ASIO fucking sucks. Period. How about WASAPI?

My synth is destroyed by plugging a 1/4 inch out into an XLR in on a mixer with the phantom power engaged

The way I understand it, the RAM is where all the work happens for a DAW. All the software pieces needed for a project are loaded into RAM. That is, the DAW software, the effects processor engines, any virtual instrument engines, and for sampled instruments the sampled data -- all of it must reside in RAM. And when you record tracks, they go into RAM. So it's RAM, RAM, RAM. Everything needs RAM. Which is why a lot of RAM is needed except for the smallest of projects. Nothing on storage media (HDD, SSD, NVM, etc) needs to be accessed real time while recording or mixing. Anything needed is loaded into RAM where the actual work is performed. If that is the case, then having high speed storage devices is not important other than it speeds up storage and retrieval times by a few seconds here and there. If you can tolerate the inconvenient wait times of a HDD, then you don't really need an SSD or NVM. Correct? My PC system has 12GB RAM (like you have) and a meager 256GB SSD. There is no other storage. Adding a 1TB or 2TB SATA SDD is affordable to me. But I'm also concerned about the limited Read/Write cycles of SDD and NVM, what the specs call "endurance". I have found HDDs to be quite reliable over many many years. But I am concerned about SSD endurance. I think a good analogy of SSD endurance is that we can write something on paper, erase it, and write something else. But eventually after many erasures the paper wears too thin. SSDs wear out too. My concern especially is that software like Windows updates information all the time. Or a browser stores history, or whatever. If that information resides in fixed locations on the SSD then that one area could be prematurely worn out even though the rest of the drive is perfectly fine. Are my concerns unfounded? Again, I have only once in 30 years had a HDD problem, back when HDDs were 40MB.

So for slow attack with soft knee, you will have more gradual curve which results in more transients?

You simply explained something that so many of the tutorials i watched couldn't. Thanks.

i have an ssl 2+, can phantom power damage the outputs on that if connected to a mixer with global phantom power? (2 line and 2 rca with 1/4 adapters)

Hai, i have a question. I setup 2 mixers, stage mixer and FOH mixer. The stage mixer send lr stereo master to FOH mixer using xlr output to xlr input at FOH mixer. What happen if phantom power suddently on FOH mixer. Its can damage my output on stage mixer" thankyou

You mean unpluging xlr is saver than unpluging trs?

Papa went out for milk and didn't come back

I'm just giggling at how little you seem to enjoy mangling your sounds. I'm kind of the other end of the spectrum in taste. Here's a recommendation for distortion: check out the offerings from Noise Engineering. All their stuff is excellent.

Good explainer vid. I appreciate the exaggerated examples to help my untrained ear. I'm working with either easy or hard mode compressors. The amazon basics pedal has 3 knobs "level, attack, and sustain" and the compressor on my drum mixer has "release, and comp amount".

Thank you for the clarifications. I found myself with a mixer that has always on 48V on 4 channels, and I'm not one for microphones, but seem to keep piling up synths and guitar pedals. Guessing if I use 1/4 in ts (unbalanced), and make sure everything is plugged in and turned down before switching the power on or off, I should be good to go?

I like the way you poped up at the start haha

Hey Viktor! These videos are great but I was really a big fan of your tutorials on your own website! I've noticed it has gone offline and that it's not properly archived on the internet archive. Please reconsider putting your site back online, it was my preferred way to read about music making. 😭

Most consumer-grade USB Audio Interfaces come with a DAW and plug-ins bundled in the one price. This might be a consideration when choosing an Audio Interface if two options have similar hardware quality. Once you decide on one, just use whatever comes with it. It's essentially free, will have plug-ins included, and if you don't like it you can always try another one later.

It's important that your Operating System is on the fastest type of drive possible (NVME is available on all modern motherboards), not just so the OS runs faster but because that's where the system allocates its Virtual RAM. Virtual RAM is what your system resorts to if your regular RAM ever fills up, or when caching idle processes, so you want it to be as fast as possible. Definitely install your DAW and other programs on an SSD, ideally a separate one from your operating system, but a regular hard drive is fine for storing loops and sample libraries, as well as project files you aren't currently working on. Of course, you should always have an external back-up of all important files. You should seriously consider buying a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). These are shoebox sized battery units that plug into your wall, with power outlets to plug your electronics into, that will keep your system running if the power to your home is disrupted or a fuse trips. They will give you enough time to save all your work and shut down the system safely if the power doesn't come back on quickly. They act as surge protectors too, and they are a couple of hundred dollars for a decent one.

I3-13100 or ryzen 5 3600?

When I saw this video in a panick I grabbed my phantom power supply and was relieved to see I didn't accidentally turn on the extra power. I love these videos, I have three friends who are getting into sound engineering for DJing and producing I'll send them your way!

great video dude, keep up the good work💪

Great content brother! Learned a ton! :)

You have a very bright future, short concise and to the point with like no views or subs Get big already, you're doing videos right!

thanks for the content its really been helping my music more than I expected thank you Sir

Stinky boi return <3 <3

Welcome back, Viktor!

I bought FL Studio and I have NEVER regretted it! I'm sure that there are many people with different DAWs who feel that way about their choice. I do find it funny, though, that people will sneer at other DAWs, especially FL Studio because of its origins as Fruity Loops, a sequencer (with a stupid name).

I do both unce unce unce unce music and doof doof.

Great video !!! Thanks for teaching us in a so crisp and easy to understand manner !!!

Congratulations. Great video!!! Just subscribed.

By far the best guide on youtube!

This was really good. I learned a lot.

Just discovered this channel, i love the humor, defo staying😂

Thanks brother🦾💪🏾

Great work you doing, really helpful and most importantly not boring. Been following you for a while, the website is fantastic, keep up the passion :)

Do you need to learn an instrument before starting in this journey?

DAWs needs a cpu with as many cores as possible coupled with a high clock speed.. its usually that simple/expensive. a 12700k is a good option. No one really needs more. SSD is also important though they WILL crash at some point. So remember backups. A SSD that goes dead can NOT be recovered. Old school HDD CAN most likely be recovered. Just something to think about. So my backups are on old school drives. Work drives are SSD. Most of them external using USB 3.. rock stable and lightning fast. Also: the choice of DAW is really important if you are looking for speed. We use Reaper for that reason. SImply faster and more stable. And no issues with old plugins. And Cheaper. Not the best for MIDI editing, but we have other DAWs set up for that sole purpose.

Love your videos bro, keep it up!

cakewalk ?

Gpu does matter. If your just making music most are better off without a gpu and just get a high end cpu with integrated graphics and a motherboard that accommodates? Why? Minimize DPC interrupt latency……

omg thanks so much for that

Really love these videos, these are pretty eye opening for me trying to upgrade from a laptop and reaper lol

I think you mean SATA vs NVMe. PCIe NVMe storage are also SSD. The difference is between the protocols. You can even get both SATA and NVMe in m.2 form factor. Granted that's pretty rare these days vs a couple-few years ago.

Idk if its just me but for some reason your websites not working 😭

I chose a 12700k for my build with ddr5 but am now thinking should I go up to the 12900k or the 13700k for that little bit more single core to “max out” my system? Thanks

Another week, another banger

Great video! I think people tend to forget how fast CPUs are now days, and how cheep RAM is. I am using Intel i7 9gen on a windows machine, with 32Gb of RAM, and i HARDLY ever come near its maximum. If I work with big sample libraries I will fill up the RAM much faster than use 50% of my CPU (and 32gigs can handle in my case around 100tracks of library instruments). Having this machine for around 3 years, it never died on me, nor crashed. If you dedicate your computer to music production, any Win or Mac will last you a long time. Although, if you have very important projects on your computer, i would suggest using backup drive (or online storage) and replacing your project drives every 3-4years Any i5 from 12th or 13gen will last you very long time with DDR4. Still not sure how DDR5 speed can affect music production significantly?
