Ah, Artificial Intelligence. I don't know, it just riles me up because art is human. Painting, drawing, music, anything. It's human, it's intimate. It'd be reasonable if DAWs were to use AI to automate menial tasks, like editing the notes after recording it or something like that. AI music is just like human music put through a blender and then a concrete grinder.
so true...👍👍
Think of it as a paintbrush instead of the painting.
@@givemhades Yes, I want it to remain the paintbrush. But it is very much vying to become the painting.
@@andrewreeds1524 such a great analogy, but it's the next evolution (or de-evolution) of music.
My major distractions are the household tasks and family running around 😂
I recently started doing my focus work late at night when everyone is asleep. Its actually been pretty helpful.
@@SanjayC Even with the 🐱 helper?
@@SanjayC Same but flipped - getting up early before everyone else
Fl Studio has stem separation and AI mastering. Nice tools.
yes and in the next update, you'll have an AI chord generator
@@itaqua974 Plus, updates are free for life! I have owned Fl Studio from the very early days and every update has been free. Quality.
I admire that you are unafraid and that you learn and try new things. That way you get to choose what suits you best. I watched the whole video. Keep up the great work you are doing! I’m a huge fan!
Is the instrument input for the Lewitt Connect 2 stereo or mono?
I'm Confuse Between This Two Genelec 8350 Or Neumann KH150 Which is best for mixing..?
Lewit seems to have nailed a few things. Mute control, 2x phones, on silicon base effects and a fresh interface UX, If the sound holds up, seems like a good use of 2 Franklins. Thanks!
Auto gain and the minimalist 'Look' reminds me to the EVO 4 I own, but next step with built in compression and features. Will Audient respond?
Man, I am so glad I found this channel. While there are plenty of consummate pros doing reviews, Sanjay suits how I absorb info to a T and his clear, general bench-test style approach to highlighting new gear's strengths/uses is great. Thanks for the work you put into these videos, bud.
Thanks so much
RipX is the daddy when it comes to separation of sounds, nothing comes close to it!
Second this.
Got DeepRemix on sale a few months ago and I've not come across anything as effective yet.
Thanks everything you do 🙏🏽
Thanks for the weekly update Sanjay! There are weeks that between work and other stuff that I can't find the time to make some music, but this channels keeps me motivated to never forget about music. Greetings from Chile!
I really appreciate you pointing us to a couple specific sale options. I'm new and it's somewhat dizzying how many brands and ecosystems there are that mostly coexist
Can You Tell About Your Neumann KH150 For Mixing..?
Hey Sanjay C and community. Was wondering if it’s better to use a dynamic or condenser ( small or large diaphragm) for videos like yours and things such as podcasts? Thank you for your time and all the helpful video
Sanjay is a ridiculously charismatic pitchman.
🤮
Looking forward to a Logic Pro 11 video 🤞🏼
Ypu forgott to mention clicks and delay when changing tbe volume manualy ,happening on lewit connect2
I would be curious to hear your opinion on the preamp of the interface and your review on LPXI 🤙🏼
Thanks, Sanjay! 🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻 I hope all my projects will run on Logic Pro 11 without any issues. Don‘t know if I should upgrade soon. What do you say?
I can’t seem to get my guitars to sound right in my mix. The drums and the vocals all seem to be affected by the guitars. The guitars are very heavy hard core metal style guitars. How can I get this right?
Hey hope you are well and on the mend , Al is bad we will all end up listening to what they want us to hear, it will kill individuality, random mistakes and accidents which is where some of the best tunes come from.
Hi there friend. I hope you and Dharty are doing well (specially after the operation).
Thanks for the video, the lewitt connect 2 looks amazing and could be a real game changer for a lot of us. I'm also looking for the new quantum series from presonus (hope to see your review or talking about it with you).
As for QOTW : really, my limitation currently is time, taking time to do music is somehow complicate for me personnaly which is a common problem for a lot of us that work in the field apparently.
Have a marvelous day.
My biggest issue when making music at home is the mixing. No matter how good you treat your room or have a good mixing chain, it’s never good enough. I sure can use AI to get a somewhat good mix. Any suggestions?
I’ve had a hard year losing a family member and taking care of 4 family members who had major surgery as well as surgery for myself. Sanjay C ( and Dharti) have a way of lifting my spirits with their upbeat approach and charisma. Thank you for being a source of enthusiasm for me today!
Will the AI feature in Logic Pro 11 work on Intel Macs or does it require Apple Silicon?
Apple website just lists this:
Minimum System Requirements
macOS Ventura 13.5 or later
6GB of available storage space for minimum installation or 72GB of storage space for full Sound Library installation
The Lewett interface looks modern and sounds pretty darn good!
Dude! I missed seeing you around here. Thanks so much for the generous Super Thanks!
FL Studio has stem seperation built in for a while now & easy to use
voice id, exactly what im looking for, in the right format, thanks for this headsup :)
It works seamlessly in logic on an M1 max studio, "its missing great rock vocals" and more instrument variations, but happy with it, I'm sure it will get more singers etc and ability to make our own voice prints to use, I hope !
I am always excited to wake up on Saturdays and find that you content has dropped. it has become part of my Saturday mornings for quite a while now. Should you ever come to Fort Wayne to go to Sweetwater, or your just passing through would love to meet you for a meal and thank you for all of your content. My wife, I and our four young daughters love the passion that you and your wife shine in your videos. Please keep up the good work and know that your videos are having a huge impact to those of us striving to make better music.
Thanks so much. I'd love to visit Fort Wayne again. Will let you know when I do!
🙋🏾♂️Sanjay thanks for all you bring to us but I have 1 gripe that Lewitt Connect 2 doesn’t have an input for my mpk mini 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Doesn’t it just connect with USB direct to the computer?
As there is no acoustic treatment in my room so the mixes really don't translate very well.i know people use headphones for that but i don't feel very comfortable using my Audio-Technica ATH- M50X that much coz after a while they hurt my ears (so ive never got used to their sound).Tracks sound cool on the Yamaha HS8 monitors but otherwise not that great on other speakers.Of lately i've been thinking about Steven Slate's Vsx Headphones coz a couple of my friends are using that.I remember you also did a Video on those.
QOTW: Besides lack of time? LOL
Does anyone have a Fantom 0-series keyboard? I'm looking at one, but if I am only making music in my home studio and not playing keyboards out, do I really need the physical keyboard while working in a DAW?
I have always quite liked the drummer. It's like with all of these things, they just get you closer to what you want quicker. that's kind of it. But they're no substitute for a human, and they don't 'finish' anything without intervention. As a long-term Logic user I'm keen to understand if the other 'session players' are useful. And are they really 'AI'? What's the definition they're using here? Or are they just using clever automation and set patterns that can flex? Do they properly learn from you? Could you build a model based on your own playing and productions? People keep calling things like Gulfoss AI, but it's not.
Logic pro 11 is also getting a Chord Track.
I use RipX for stem separation. Didn't buy the DAW as I use GarageBand and Logic
The Lewitt looks great, unfortunately I don't have a need for it right now. Definitely bookmarked! 🙂
Hi Sanjay, the major issue I am facing in my music quality is the audio interface .. I had bought an m track solo with all my money but it doesn’t cut .
Try the secondhand market bro, I bought a secondhand Motu M2 (the first iteration of the device that was assembled in the USA). Performance wise it's stellar.
Try VOLT interfaces, I got rid of m audio and focusrite interfaces. Universal Audio look them up.
Pawn shops can be an excellent place to shop for audio gear.
I struggle the most to make unique drums for jungle drum and bass/house especially
Good morning, Sanjay! Since I am a video producer by trade, I have to compliment you on your graphics and b-roll today. I like the included qcode and "Link Below" geaphic. Very high level production today.
Thanks, Pat. I have to credit my bro-in-law. He edits the News videos these days! He's awesome!
The Lewitt interface sounded really nice, with a transparent quality. With all of its bells and whistles, I looked at the price and then had to go to other sites to check that there hadn't been a mistake in what I was seeing! I'm sure that an interface like this will be an incredibly useful tool for a lot of people.
A good use of AI for a DAW would be a Drum Gate/Silencer/that can tell the difference between a bass drum, a snare and/or cymbals. "Silencer" from Black Salt Audio is on a good way, but not (yet) really Artificially Intelligent.
The video was great as always! QOTW: I have a lot of trouble actually copying the sounds in my head to my music. Sound design can be really tricky! And work speed is also a struggle for me, as I’m constantly thinking of new ideas but don’t have time to implement them. :P

Logic 11... maybe this time with a MIDI prelisten function..??? maybe apple?
I wish lol
What is midi prelisten?
@@fatbelly3385 being able to listen to my midi files in the browser through whatever virtual instrument is selected.
Like in studio one
Cubase has a similar feature as well, but you need to set up a specific virtual instrument for midi playback. (You can’t just preview the midi through whatever virtual instrument selected like you can studio one).
@@fatbelly3385 in other DAWs you can click on a MIDI File and pre listen the file with a synth of your choice. You don't need to import the MIDI file in to the DAW sequencer.
Shure MV7 already doing this things since so long for the microphone and Headphones out 2:26
Improv the logic overall (when the song have more EQ the logic will give you a notification saying overall) and inprove the new mastering plugging and the piano 🎹 roll to bick like FL Studio
We like the piano roll the way it is guy 🤣
Hi Sanjay, thanks for asking, the main issue for me, is that I know the sounds I want, but don't know the name of the instruments to look for. So when I try going down the list listening one by one, I get tired\frustrated. But I'm getting there. Keep up the great videos! BOOM! Boom...and all that!
Is this maybe best done by first figuring if the sound is in the bass, middle or higher frequency mainly? I’m on the older side, so I probably have heard and can name quite a lot of sounds/instruments, just from being a music consumer? Anyway, I’d start with that. Obviously, rather a lot occupy the ‘middle’ ground, without necessarily covering all of it. The violin/viola/cello etc, GarageBand has that clever hack for, they group them altogether, as one stringed instrument, and the DAW just figures which one you must be using depending on where you’ve hit a note from ie low, mid or high. I often use that to start with and then home in on maybe a particular one when the song settles down. Anyway, it reminds me of bird tweets. Lots of pics of birds, with names, are available, but only recently has it been possible to let an app hear the bird chirp and find which one it is.
I use RipX now RIPX DAW, STEM ROLLER and STEMS from AKAI for the MPC software. RipX is great. I just hate their GUI. I hope they overhaul it with a new design. StemRoller is dope because you can STEM a you tube video right from the application. STEMS for AKAI MPC is great for those who own a MPC box. Quality of the STEMS? RipX 1st, AKAI 2nd and StemRoller 3rd.
Awesome video as always. Hope the your wife is doing well. Let her know she’s missed. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Logic X already has AI with its mastering tool on the master track and it works pretty good! Great vid as usual!
Perhaps is just me and my ears? My first one to three second honest reaction were: Something is off with the audio quality? And then he tells me about the new audio interface. I let it rest be untold...*Unfortunately I couldn't even finish the whole video. Some hard metallic sound in the voiceover, distortion? Sorry, no trolling just honest feedback!
I remember a video of you saying that you switched from Logic to Ableton Live and saying that we should get out of our comfort zone. Are you switching again?
Yes I’m giving it a big try from the 13th
Noisy2 sounds really good !!!
BabyAudio could update bugs on their Transit IOS verssion
I am about to switch from studio one to Luna and the whole UA ecosystem. I am about to buy a MacBook pro M3 but don't know which one to get between a 16 or a 14" I also want to buy an Apollo solo. Three questions:
1. Should I buy the apollo solo now or I wait for an update maybe they might come up with a newer one?
2. is the Apollo solo still worthy it as my next studio upgrade on an interface?
3. Is the Apollo solo compatible with the new M3 pro MacBooks? Is the thunderbolt 3 going to work with the MacBook's thunderbolt 4 ports?
You list two headphone outputs as a plus for the Lewitt interface "when you have someone else in the studio". But you still only get one mic input… :P
Shoutout to WavTool! 🙏 Thanks for the coverage Sanjay!
Hi mick from Australia 🇦🇺 ive just subscribed, im a old school muso, and I think your channel can help me move into this digital world..thanks
Hi Mick! Thanks for coming by and checking out my videos!
biggest challenge is my windows laptop, really struggles with large sample libraries, finally decided to give up my hate for the fruit company and picked up new macbook pro. Would be great if we windows to apple converts could a get a quick tips video on getting started on MacOS having never touched it before. I am a PreSonus studio one user, would you recommend switching to Logic? also very keen on using Mainstage for live sessions. Thanks Sanjay for all your videos as always!
There are quite a few on TH-cam. I didn't find switching very difficult at all. Also, welcome to the Cool Kids Club! 😉
I believe Fl Studio has AI features incorporated into it as well, (a little bit before Logic) I’m honestly in no hurry to try out AI features myself. But if anyone has an Apple desktop or laptop, with Logic’s price point, it would be foolish _not_ to get it.
So the Lewitt connect is a Vocaster with an added noise gate. Hmmmm
Vivid sounds good
room acoustics and noise from outside of the crib
My biggest challenges are tools (I have nothing, only some free junk software and an ancient laptop) and not having feedback
Thanks for sharing :)
I really wish we'd stop using "AI" for Machine Learning, but I don't think that's ever going to happen >_>
I just want to own my software and be able to use it completely offline. Less subscription models the better.
Also as of posting this Bitwig was on mad sale right now
The race AI in DAW has begun! Audacity, Logic - who is next? Only splitters and noise reductions for now... But who knows, where we'll be in 1 year?
I like the idea of A.I in relationship to cleaning up sound, the mastering process, technical aspects of recording. But I think the creative process, should be left to the individual artists, no matter how “bad or good” we sound. Isn’t that the point of making music? I want to discover what I can make.
Connect 2 sounds very nice. I was surprised it was so inexpensive! That procing model is a NON WAY for me. If I pay for something I want a locked in price and then I use it as much as I want. This model is like paying for gas for your car.....it will be never ending. I'll skip that!
Yep. This times a hundred.
It also says the tokens are only good for 12 months from purchase. Then this:
Capturing a 12 seconds sample audio of a voice track
Processing the sample with 5 voice presets and trying 3 different Transpose settings on each preset to find the best fit: 12x5x3 = 180 seconds / 3 minutes = 1800 tokens
Processing the entire vocal track of 2.5 minutes = 1500 tokens
Total processing time and token cost: 5.5 minutes = 3300 tokens
Also also
Transpose adjustments to an already processed audio capture will require re-processing
It looks like if you are very efficient with the tool they are suggesting it will cost about $1 per song. I think. Again, that is if you are super efficient and don’t want to make any changes. What a mess of pricing that is.
Hi Sanjay, were you able to listen to the INDIA song? Thanks!!
Listening to it now :-) Keep up the good work!
Noises and acoustic of my room. Probably impossible to make it quiet and useful for serious audio work with mics anyway without spending thousands of dollars for muting and adaptation... or changing my living place for different house/room/whatever... Ehhh... :/
4:57 I thought my PC was dying or something
FL Studio got also AI stuff.
Stem separation
AI Mastering
and in the future Update AI chord builder
Now if only they can sort out their sends and returns a bit better to be closer to how Logics and Protools work, it could be used for mixing too
VST companies want 1/10th of the price for 1/1,000,000th of the work that goes into a DAW. Therefore, don't create a DAW. Create a little VST.
Interesting you promoted a de-esser , because the sibilant sounds from the Levitt were driving my nephew crazy (He has ADHD and certain sounds can be painful to them). A little puzzled since pretty much most of your videos sound good. Anyway Epic fail on the Lewitt. A cheap Focusrite sounds 10x better imho. I'll check out the apps. Thanks
Saying its AI doesn't make it AI. Suno won't make a whole song ... we need some high quality checking/ filtering for any AI claims right now. The biggies won't do much upon general request.
TH-camrs are obsessed with A.I.
It would be cool to have a simple AI band that could play along while playing live. :)
Lewitt's Denoise sounds a hell of a lot like a gate...
Let's also not promote anything to do with AI voice, shall we?
"Artists, story tellers, beatmakers...." My favourite line😂😂😂😂
You know I always thought people would remember my ending line more "Make the Music You Love." Apparently, the beginning line is the winner! haha!
The biggest drawback to making music is the mixing and level balancing
I'm going to be honest... I don't trust cloud-based AI music generative software.... I do not want to upload my creative ideas to any service that is creating AI... I can hear everybody's ideas being mashed up and recognitated back and this kind of software... It feels kind of soul killing.... These talents that take years blood sweat and tears just being lifted and instantly shifted into something very derivative
That’s not how Logic Pro works… the A.I is done on device
I suspect he meant in general, not specifically regarding Logic Pro.
@@YattirSmith He did bring up an AI cloud voice changing service, with a token system... I'm not talking about all machine learning... Or logic pro!
Might as well just go to an AI website and say" Make me a backing track for....".. MEH!
I’ve used the sonar AI voice generator. Honestly, it’s not good. The major issue is that you generate a vocal, but if it has errors or heavy atrifacts, which it often does, you have to pay all over agin to generate another pass. It’s so stupid. You also have to use more tokens to try another vocalist. So you end up paying over and over agin before being able to settle on the vocalist you want. So to me, it’s not good and I plan to try something else. I’d rather use real vocalists if possible, but in reality it’s not always practical for pitches, but for backing vocals it might be useful one day. Anyway, the pricing model they chose sucks.
It seems you had experience with an early version of the plugin. All the issues should be resolved now: better preset quality, no need to spend tokens for reprocessing, and different transpose settings. Automatic transpose is also added to improve the processing results.
You’re correct. I’ve tried it again and it’s much improved. The reprocessing at no cost does help, as well as the transpose. Few small glitches remain, such as noise at the start and end of some of the processing, but easy fix to bounce out the audio and chuck it on a new track. The only other issue was, when I re-opened my session after closing it, I had to reprocess all the audio again. But since it’s not costing money to do that, it’s not a big deal, I just bounce them immediately. Anyway, it’s definitely worth a look into now and I imagine it will get better and better over time. Thanks.
The biggest problem for me is time. Making time is almost impossible for me.
now a days AI is learning everything A to Z
As far as AI, I think it's good if you use it as a tool to assist you, but letting it literally generate parts for you is going too far.
i don't have lap top help me with that
I hate token payment models. It reminds me of the old internet in a really negative way. If you need to make it cloud, just make it a subscription. Or, make it cloud yet still ask a flat fee (+ fee per different voice), like all those synth voice companies do it.
Logic has always had "AI". Smart Tempo & Flex features are pretty much what people are now calling "AI".
You don't need a new daw, you don't need new plugins, you don't need a new phone, you don't need a AI plugin, just keep doing what you were doing. All these money grabber are not gonna make your music sounding better
Fl studio head AI coordination first I don't know why people are always trying to overlook F.L makes no sense the disrespect that f.L studio gets... It needs to be acknowledged as a real daw.
Gm
Good morning! Whats the most interesting story from the news this week?
All these companies are selling AI more than their products...💯👎
We've put tech companies who know nothing about music in charge of the industry. This is the logical conclusion (no pun intended). Don't get me wrong, I use izotope and sonible plugins all the time, AI tools can be extremely beneficial. But I don't need my DAW to come bundled with a generative AI whose whole purpose is to automate my skill set into obsolescence.
I love you man but I personally think that adding AI to be able to replace musicians is something that you shouldn't be promoting specifically with the audience that you have most of us are aspiring musicians and that plug in is only the start
QotW: My children are my biggest issue when trying to make music at home. ☹️
Honesty I don't like tge idea using AI for music making at all. In the long run it makes you dummy and caps your creativity.
We’re not all excellent players. I play guitar but I’m mediocre at piano. So for me it has value.
Only if you choose to allow it.
Practice, practice, practice
I agree but many don’t see that. If you use it, use it to learn, not create.
Depends entirely on how you use it. I’m imagining many ways it could actually improve my workflow and creative output, without just making the song for me which I agree with you diminishes a lot more
brainrot music producer content
imagine actually watching this
