This is excellent! I've been waiting to see a demo of this laptop + BWS since the announcement. Thanks a lot!
@Chrystal Raffield & @Marcellus Josiah pfff noobs, I was hacking Instagram with Bitwig Studio in the 90s. Get on my level.
That is a compelling use of two on-board touch screens.
Great Jam 🤘🔥
Have you tried live guitar with Trash 2 instead of BW Amp? I’m experimenting with Stutter Edit 2 (Auto mode) and guitar. We are super lucky these days aren’t we.
That's sweet I like the lower screen I just got my frist touch screen laptop asusq525u i7 8550u 16g i added a m.2 it's pretty sweet not as sweet as you but comes Nextish I got that for the low too haha.
Wow. I mainly use my pro duo for video editing but wow 👏. I need to start making music great demo
Hello, have you tried Ableton Live & Yeco on the zen book? I'm trying to choose between that and the Yoga 9i... Would the hexpads resize and work on the screenpad plus for example?
No I haven’t, sorry and I only had the Zen on loan for a week
@@MoltenMusicTech ok thanks anyway!
Is that the 14" screen or the 15.6" screen?
15 I think but I don’t really remember
Man, is it stable and great for huge saw project??
Sure
What are the specs on your Zenbook, I'm about to purchase mine

How did u get the drumpads and stuff on the second screen?
You extend the window across both screens
You rendered it in mono (probably in nle, not in daw)
Did I? Pretty sure I was panning things at the end of the video.
@@MoltenMusicTech yea, and nothing changed :)
oh well, worse things happen at sea
Stop showing off. Nothing educational.
Hang on, is this the music industry?
@bobbda you don't need any education cave man, this is for advance users , not for beginners like you
This is the video you show people to explain how this kind of hardware affects the workflow. Also: I love it.
Simply mind blowing!! How can anyone dislike this masterful performance? I am a mobile DJ and music producer. I landed here wondering if this laptop with dual screen can be used to easily mix music and control various music production software. Your demo is the answer!. Thanks for sharing this.
got it from 2 years, still using it! For DJing and Live use I will never come back to another laptop
Damn it. I keep trying to put off buying this laptop. You're not helping :)
this is great! I would love to see if you can just use the little screen as a 2nd screen for mixer/rack and free up the big screen for your project. Seems nobody has done a demo of this anywhere!
This is amazing, thank you! I would love to see how this scales REAPER and whether the bottom screen is good for game audio/post-production work. Have you tried having plugin windows at the bottom and controlling them via touch? Do they scale well? I am thinking about replacing my PC with this when freelancing remotely.
Great review on SoS but did you try it without the interface on ASIO or WASAPI drivers?
Thanks
Would rather have the AMD 7945HX3D version , 16 Full power cores and 96Gb RAM, THAT MUST BE A BEAST!
Doesn't surprise me you'd be the first to buy this and review it! Now that my Surface Pro 4 screen flickers I want something new. Thank you
the workflow with this thing is an absolute heaven i will buy this thing!!
Yo. You ripped it 👊🏾
Nice... I want one! Looking forward to a review.
Hi Molton ~ I am a total nube and own this ASUES and want to create really high quality Audio-meditations, I just have no idea where to start, Do you have any advice. How can I advance using this computer? There arent any how to videos for this, so I am at a loss! Any advice from anyone else is REALLY APPRECIATED!!! Thank YOU!!!
Hi - that's a very open ended question and it all comes down to what you want to do. Are you looking for something that will generate music for you? Are you looking to record sound or play notes? Are you looking to arrange music, compose, or do you want to use loops? Are you hoping to record live instruments or just use virtual ones? If you are are looking for simple meditative generation then honestly a phone or ipad app would be a better place to look. If you want to start recording your own music then you need to start looking at DAW or music production software. Most DAWs are a blank page waiting for you to start making and recording your music. Many have tools and instruments that will help you with that. There are dozens of videos out there on getting started with computer music - nothing on your particular laptop but that shouldn't be important. Start absorbing some of those videos, check out some software and have a think about how you are going to make your music. It's a journey, but a fun one.
You made a good demonstration here and shows Me I'm making the right choice on getting this laptop for music production.
Have you bought it? And if so how has your experience been with it so far? I'm waiting on the 2021 model but it sure is expensive 🤑🤑
Love the way you made me buy touchscreen for Bitwig . i've got the X360 gem cut of HP with I8750 and sharing the same feeling when you can touch your plugs and parameters . I bought also a touchscreen to , the Dell P2418HT , good one to play with to ! Thanks for all your videos , analyses and work ! really appreciate :)
U bought a touchscreen pad yo play drums and etc like he did with the second screen?? Or just a second touch screen monitor ?
Apple is not anymore creative first choice
Thats an incredible laptop.. apple could learn from this, makes the touchstrip of the macbook pale... also liked your performance
Why not just buy this laptop🤷♂️
It's amazing! I want to see more videos of you making music with this laptop sir!
Sadly I only have the Zenbook for a week but I’m making music with lots of other things
@@MoltenMusicTech Oh no......But still thank you sir, for showing me how it looks like when you use zenbook pro duo to make music~
@@MoltenMusicTech How was your experience man???
Finally a solution to what is a difficult problem. I have so many things in front of my qwerty keyboard....let's hope it's reasonably priced!
Ha!
Reasonably priced...
Master Piece !!! Show us more of this Holy cow l, before im was like naahh my Alienware it's fine to produce some stuff but now WOOOW I need this vibe. You Rocks
Could you do a demo for Ableton?
I don’t have it. It was on loan for a short time, sorry.
Actually this Lap was my 1st preference for my music production..........but later i got changed to go with Macbooks........and returning again to touch screen and dual screen laps for the best productivity........
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! ! ! ! Robin... you are our new British, on line, Invasion... over here in California... right when we need you. 👍🏼✨🎛🎚🎶🎵🎚🎛🎶🎵❗️Dig It!
since i saw this laptop add ive been thinking about how usable it will be at music producing. and the awnser is Yes
Is that an app you put on or is it built in? If it as an app what’s it called?
Bitwig Studio is a piece of music production software - bitwig.com
I'm so getting that laptop. Is there any news on the upcoming new models for 2021?
How well does FL STUDIO work on this?
pretty well
This would be great for automating a mix-down using the faders.
I was just looking into this last night! I wanted to use the second screen for mixing, but you took it a step further!
I also thought, perhaps I can simply hook up a second display with touchscreen to my current laptop. Anyone else done that before? Is it worth it?
dreamrealitysyndrome that sounds crazy amazing lol did u do it yet or found video on that
Wow. That's a fantastic setup. The future in now! hehe
Subbed
Blimey 2 grand. Forget that!
Blimey is that the year you live in because almost everything this poweful is at this price range.
I have one of these computers running Presonus Studio one. Any secrets you can share about configuring for audio? I had th change the resolution on the main screen so my vst GUIs would be big enough. I can't get the lower screen to match so the mouse arrow is aligned between the two screens. Any ideas? Thanks
Yes - follow my Surface Pro 7 video on tweaking windows - you need to disable Turbo to get trouble free audio. For they second screen don’t stretch across it, use it for a detached edit or console screen.
Master of Puppets 💥 so original!
?
what about latency on this asus?
Depends on your audio interface. As you can see in the video I was using the MOTU M4 and was able to play the drums on the screen in real-enough time for it not to be silly - so that would be around 128 samples or under 10 ms.
which software is it please?
Bitwig Studio
I have ordered this laptop and a huge thanks to you for the review on soundonsound.. Hope you make more videos on this laptop and the workflow with the dual screen, specially will be looking out for Ableton and Cubase if it's possible for you to do a video anytime soon 🤟
I only had the laptop for the review, sorry, but i'm glad my experience of it was helpful to you.
@@MoltenMusicTech hi, I m the same guy from a different account, I wanted to thank you once more, this time mainly because I got exposed to bitwig studio because of this video, I heard of it before but never tried it, but after seeing this video I tried it out and it's just mind blowing.. I am a studio sound engg and worked all this time with linear timeline and Cubase. With this laptop I wanted to explore live electronic music and learn Ableton but now that I tried bitwig I know what I am gonna go ahead with. I specially love the different midi interface that bitwig offers which is just an amazing tool for this laptop. So once again thank you very much, I keep coming back to your channel to see different videos. Also I did a solo cover of high hopes with the fingerboard interface of bitwig, do check it out if possible : th-cam.com/video/vfh66TIhuX4/w-d-xo.html
Do you know if I can use the screen pad 2.0 on Zenbook UX434 the same way?
I’ve no idea sorry
I'm running into pop and clicks problem with external USB audio interfaces (tried 2) with my unit when the CPU clock speed goes beyond 3.3 GHz but the internal Realtek chip works just fine. Have you encountered it? May I know what audio interface are you using and how do you connect your audio interface to it?
Yes, you need to follow my tweak guide
I have the same problem. Im using the Steinberg ur22 but I also tried a focusrite solo... Dont know how to fix it
Amazing video, exactly what i was looking for with the zen duo. I'm itching to buy one especially after seeing this video lol. Is the second screen compatible with any daw ? in my case FL studio and ableton ?
Yes and no. It’s just a screen so you can drag windows across it but it will mess with the dual resolution as they are different. Daws that have multiple windows fair better so it will be better with fl studio than with Ableton. I did a review of this in Sound On Sound magazine - you might want to check that out.
@@MoltenMusicTech Appreciate the response, I'll look into it, thanks again
So this is now recommended? Ugh this is so confusing.
A lot of people are saying it suffers from pops and clicks real time audio wise no matter what they do, and others are saying it's literally the best machine they've ever worked with.
What's the real answer!?
All I can give is my answer which is in a review I wrote for Sound On Sound magazine - provided you turn off turbo mode it works fine. I’ve tested it with multiple DAWs and music software / I have a video demonstrating it. You can see how I did the tweaks via my Surface Pro 7 videos. All I can share are my findings - I can’t comment on what other people did.
@@MoltenMusicTech that is super helpful to know- I saw both your review and your video about turning on "ultimate performance" and disabling turbo boost.
Thank you for the quick response! I think you just helped me beat macbook addiction! 🤣
Can i use this daw in zenbook duo 14 (not the pro version)
I haven't tried it but probably :D
can you record instruments and vocals on the zenbook pro i5 model and run DAW's like pro tools?
I’ve no idea. Probably but I can’t tell without testing it, sorry.
But yes, you should be able to 😁
Mr Molten the sound of laptop is good quality?
The inbuilt sound is fine but i'd never use it for making music - i'd always plug in a USB audio interface.
You had me shook
Is there a way to do this type of input in FL studio?
Not as easily - depends on the plugin
Will I able to use it the same way with zenbook duo??
Probably, you'll have to try it and see
I think you can use the bottom screen for the same things, but I dont think the primary screen has touch on the base model.
How is the battery performance so far.
I don’t own it, I only had it for the review, sorry
so damn cool
Deckard's Dream
Are the drums and keys touch sensitive?
The screen doesn't respond to velocity or pressure but in Bitwig where you hit the pad on the screen dictates velocity.
@@MoltenMusicTech what about 2021 update of duo?
I don't have one, it was a loaner
@@MoltenMusicTech I mean the 2021 models of Duo and upcoming 2022 model
Oh sure, can you send me one?
Need to know that software name please
Bitwig Studio - it's in the title
great vid
On balance, I hate touchscreens
Suit yourself
Please Test it with Studio One 5
I don't have it - it was a loan for a review i wrote for Sound On Sound magazine
@@MoltenMusicTech Oh. I'm sorry.
But I hope, in your upcoming live videos, you will talk about Studio One v5 and touch screen.
I feel like, people need to know about Studio one's touch screen capabilities. Multi touch DAW makes the work very intimate, IMHO.
Plus, your reviews are brief, to the point and great.
😊
Will it work with Studio one 4
yes, why wouldn't it?
@@MoltenMusicTech I don't know comparability issues or something
It’s a computer, it should be able to run computer software. But the more important question will be over the audio interface you’re using and how you’ve tweaked windows. But if you follow my guide on tweaking windows and the Surface Pro then you’ll be fine
Too expensive i can easily buy a second touch screen for cheap or even use my tablet
yeah cool - go do that!
Its not expensive because of the screen its expensive because of its monster specs the processor alone cost 1k then you got 4k oled display which laptops don't normally have then you got a really good gaming graphics card for gpu intensive tasks 32g of ram and everything else is also top end. This laptop will handle anything you throw at it
Does anyone know how this guy is using the touch screen to play his drum pads? Is that a feature within spitfire audio, within Bitwig, or if it's a standalone thing? I just got a zenbook duo and am running Reaper and would like to use a similar setup!
The drum pads are in Bitwig - Bitwig is very touch friendly. You'll need an audio interface that give you low enough latency for it to feel right.
Did you notice any audio latency issues? I have a macbook pro right now, but the interface on this laptop makes a lot of sense. I can also imagine how cool the workflow would be even for video production.
I think you can see that I was playing with nicely low latency. Provided that you set up the laptop correctly and use an audio interface then latency shouldn't be a problem.
@@MoltenMusicTech Thanks for the reply! I was more so worried about pops and clicks, but it seems like you had a pretty nice experience with it. I use an apollo twin duo as an audio interface so latency should not be that much of an issue. I will definitely keep this laptop on my radar. It's time to upgrade my laptop.
@@Josh_G Remember: Apple's Core audio is only better for producers when you are not using an interface, Windows ASIO really sucks, but that is completely solved when you use an interface!
Hi ,I am about to buy a laptop and this is in top of my list, can you please tell me a few things.. 1) does the system stay silent in heavy usage?
2) does the 2nd screen integrate so well with other daw like cubase or Ableton? It looks so smooth in this video
3) did you load a very heavy session in it and see how it performs
1. No, gets loud
2. Pretty good. You can have separate windows in each with Cubase. In Ableton you have to stretch across it so you’ll get the break line across something….
3. Yes but the stability depends on you turning off turbo mode. I reviewed this for soundonsound.com and you can read all about it there.
@@MoltenMusicTech thank you so much, that was a very elaborate review on soundonsound. It was exactly the review for this laptop I was looking for.
Bad
Up yours!
