Hi everyone, I have spent the last 12 months in the studio working with some really special people in the music industry while pursuing my passion of teaching these skills to those who are hungry to learn. I am in the process of putting together a special community for people in the music industry and revamping my Mixed By AP Academy. This is something very special because most people in the music industry don't want to see other people succeed, especially more than what they have done, but I'm here to teach everything I have learned so that people can accomplish way more than I have. In the meantime check out my new FREE masterclass I put together as a teaser for my new academy coming out soon! mixedbyap.co/masterclassoptin
Dude I felt stuck in life. I wanted to pursue music but due to family influence I am studying something completely opposite. And it's so bad that I can't even buy any equipment. I was depressed since long but then I thought let's try to find solution , there must be something and your video helped me. Thanks , now because of you I can pursue my dream , that too without anyone knowing , just me and my dreams
keep at it bro. A lot of people don't like it when others not just dream, but go out and try to achieve their dreams since they couldn't do it themselves. I'm chasing my dreams, and you should keep doing it too. Prove em wrong, and be the person you want to be
I mean I feel you brother! But if you allow me to enlighten you with the following, is that your family ain’t no bad people. Believe me I been there bro, and at the end of the day, I realised one thing is that my family just don’t want me to gumble my life out on one unsure thing, and within that I was in a stage where I started to agree with that inner vision of my family behaviour towards what I wanted to pursue, and with the fact that you gotta plan your moves smartly, and not blindly trust the ultimate inspirationnal dreamer system you got in you, but instead elaborate a set of plans A, B and C and whatever you need, in order to always have some kind of back up. And keep it up bro, you better keep it low until you pop up. 🙌🏻
You’re never stuck man. You just need to prioritize. Save money little by little and make the investment. Sitting home feeling sorry for yourself isn’t going to get you anywhere. The people who made it had nothing and they got up and went for it and made it happen
Ikr. When I've tried to do it before the audio always ends up sounding 'boxy' with an ugly reverb from the walls. I can't believe that just a towel tunnel like the one he made will fix that.
To line up the vocals quicker, create a track to record from your laptop mic, mute it so you don't get feedback. Then, when you're ready to record on your phone, clap once before performing. When you import the vocal from your phone, line up the clap with the clap recorded on the laptop and everything will be in time or at least the closest possible.
This was really helpful and made me excited to start recording. I have so many things written that I never showed anyone, probably from fear, but I've always loved creating music since a kid. It's about time I let that energy show.
So I'm a Producer, Singer and a Songwriter. Many Producers told me that i should record my vocals with a mic not with a phone so what i did is i tried to do an investment to buy a mic but after i started using a mic my recording sounds crappy so i tried to do investing again by finding and getting a job but i've failed finding and getting a job because i wasn't accepted in the previous job that i've applied and there's some other jobs that i don't fit in. Finding and getting a job is really hard and again, the reason why i wanna find and get a job just to upgrade my producer equipments and also since you've uploaded this video i think i should not suffer myself getting better producer equipments because i can just use the materials that i currently have which is my pop filter, my closet, my phone, my blanket, my towel and my laptop. i've wrote a song before and i wanna release it so bad because i love the fanbase that i've currently have which btw i'm still trying to attempt growing my fanbase. Thank you so much for uploading this video because you just ended my suffering in my producer life. I'm currently a College student and i think after college I'm gonna go get a job, find and get a better producer equipments. I really wanted to be a successful Singer, Songwriter and a producer someday and also yeah... be a successful international big music artist because that's my wish since when i was 12 yrs. old.
So the fact of the matter is to get better recording equipment you need to have money, to have money you need to find a job which will take time and when you find a job then you still have to work for a couple months until you have the money to buy studio equipment. Which means if you sit around and wait for all these things to happen you'll be sitting around for at least 3-6 months by the time you save up money to buy new equipment. So you're sacrificing time you could be working and perfecting your craft and sound, you can just use what you have now and get started and get better equipment later. Either way the better equipment won't do shit unless you know how to use it correctly and most people don't think about that part either.
Learn to make songs with whatever tools you have RIGHT NOW. Everyone usually wants all the best and newest equipment when they start out. Waste all their time and energy on the belief they need a pro mic or this plug in or that preamp. Then they get the new equipment and realize they still aren't creating the music they hear in their head when they write/produce. So they think now I need this piece of equipment or plug in. Make music with what you have, work on your skill and knowledge before anything else.
@@mixedbyapThankyou for inspiring me as an artist to only keep your music to yourself is painful I want to share my sound this video is amazing if I blow up I’m definitely giving this video credit
Man, you just blessed me. I produce, and I’ve been thinking of writing lyrics and recording to some beats I’ve made, but didn’t know how to record. Now I can because of you. God bless you my g. Thanks a lot 💯
That came out way cleaner that I would have expected. I'm glad I watched this bc I work travelling and I'm not around to get somewhere where I can lay down vocals. Thanks
Came here for the tutorial because I am trying to find a way to record myself singing over an instrumental track, preferably with video but this video is right up my alley. Came for the tutorial but stayed cause that was a really sick freestyle not gonna lie lol
Good video, this method with a popper stopper is unstoppable, only thing artists live to hear all the effects while they record, but yeah , they won’t get it if they’ve been doing it the other way for too long…. Spoiled rotten is what I call it, 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
I'm going to have to disagree or add to some of your points. If people are giving excuses then they don't really want to do it. It's really that simple. Not just with music but in life in general. The reason you progressed is because you really wanted it. Because if you want to do something really bad you will do whatever it takes to do it. You hit a road block and since you really want to do whatever it is you truly want then you will find any way. That's something that can't be taught. If your broke and you know there's a thousand dollars 10 miles away and you have to walk. Yeah the immediate response is you want it. But half way you kinda doubt yourself and double guessing. Then you unknowingly start to give excuses to why you need to stop and turn around.
I generally agree, but the point of what he says is that creative people don't wanna be technicians. They just want to record the vocals and if it requires doing a research on mic types, audio interfaces, cables, setup, proper room treatment than etc then they lose interest and I understand this excuse. I also used to think that one needs all that stuff to make some amateur vocal recordings but now I know it is not true.
just as a Note, if you use iphone and macbook, you can just sync your memos app to icloud and you will be able to access the memos from within any of your Apple devices devices. No need to send it by email
Dude thank you for this. I have cameras. Laptops. iPad. All of that. And I have so many songs written that I haven’t released. Kinda nervous to get my music out there.

That's insanely good vocal recording result.

I uses GarageBand and I try how you uses the towels and my vocals were much harder 🔥 thxs man 🙏
It’s “ I use” and “ you use “

People ask me what studio I make my songs at and be surprised when I say it’s all from the phone 🎧🔥
Same bro
Do u use voice memos or GarageBand?
@@lukadoncic4212 I’m wondering the same thing

Ya I hear you the iPhone sounds amazingly like a condenser. It even picks up the refrigerator hum!
Thank you literally so much man
You really helped me to not give up in this music industry

count down before singing and hit play on 0 or 'go' so it's easy to align
I'll try it and see how it works!
thanks bro and for the mono effect you used to clean up the vocals, what's a similar one to use for fl studio?
just merge the vocals in the mixer
Connecting to web whatsapp is way easier than emailing. Great vid !
You can email them to yourself too, for some reason whatsapp wont let you send multiple files at once
Thanks for the insight!
