This is one of the best product reviews I've ever seen. I haven't purchased recording equipment in so many years, I looked at a music catalog and everything is confusing to me. I like this video because it breaks down everything, and now I totally feel a little caught up
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that you did a very good job at this video! I bought my son this bundle because he raps and I didn’t know how to set it up it looked pretty difficult to do so, until I watched this video. I did step by step and every went fine👍🏽thank you❗️
Word! Studio time is getting crazy expensive and with all of the shortcuts available for mixing I feel like unless you know the engineer personally they are ok with not trying they're best on your track if your are less known than some of their other clients. Nope! I'd rather do it myself and get my best sound.
@@bjerberbendoz Yeah man I had an engineer once that was more focussed on "humbling" people because he had so much experience that he wouldn't do anything I asked or suggested and would get pissy about it!
Thank you for your honesty! It's great that PreSonus offers a bundle like this, but it's also hard to find people who won't sugarcoat the actual quality of the products.
About to order it again , 🤞🏾🙏🏾I feel determined to learn to record myself and friends since it’s been a difficult scoring studio time since this pandemic
Yes it's all right bundle but the only two things I really liked was the studio monitors and interface the wrist is not that great headphones are junk and so is the microphone I wouldnt buy it just for those two things I would just order the speakers and audio interface I bought scarlett bundle and the only thing I used was the interface mic was junk and so was the headphones lol learn the hard way in my opinion only might be fine for someone else
Hi Edward, I have tunes in my head and I also have a mental idea in great detail of what sounds should go with it, but I have no experience in DAWs. I find learning a DAW real intimidating. What should be my approach to turn my ideas into actual music - learning a DAW is such a huge learning curve. Is there a way to collaborate with people who actually know DAWs and instruments and recording so that I can get my ideas into songs? Would really appreciate your input. Thanks.
Nowadays you have to put your idea down first. So my advice would be to learn the basics of an easy to use DAW, and then try find producers to take your idea from there. Don't find DAWS intimidating, just start using one and get into it and you'll be fine. Using a DAW is just something everyone must do or be able to do if you wanna make music and be successful. For example, You can't write a book if you find typing and writing to be intimidating, especially if you are a beginner. Being able to use a DAW is just a must in my opinion... You won't regret it!
hey man dont be so intimidated, for me was the same honestly i just got fl studio which is user friendly and still a powerful daw that alot of popular people use and even now im still learning tbh but its great to start and use youtube tutorials to help you out
It may sound simplistic, but I would suggest to start by just humming or singing your ideas into your phone's mic! Capture the basic spark first and then figure out which DAW works best for you to really flesh out your vision. The main thing is capturing that initial idea and then work on refining it. Good luck!
Ok man, you prolly already figured it out by now but just in case. I suggest using Ableton Live, it's a bit costly if you want the Suite version but they have an Intro for just under $200 and even with the Suite they give you a 90 day trial period where you get pretty much everything you need to get started and learn. That's what I did pretty much and after 3 free trials I bought the Intro version and started getting into it. Live is so easy cause you don't really need to know to play instruments. You can just put chords into a MIDI track and go from there, chords you can find online or buying samples packs or finding free samples online. It will be hard the first few times you try but if you're passionate and persistent and really care about the music then you'll find a way. There's also a bunch of tutorials online bro but good luck and hope you found what you were looking for. Peace
Another great video Edward. However, you didn't say anything about bundled software? I would expect that Presonus Studio One V.5 DAW would be included? Thanks buddy.
@@EdwardSmithMusic This one: focusrite.com/en/usb-audio-interface/scarlett/scarlett-2i2-studio I know it doesn't include the speakers, but it is also cheaper(you can afford them after), I'm just curious about the overall quality given by each package.
I decided to go th this presonus :D although based off another review, the Mackie sounded better - but lacks the monitors. This really is the best deal for beginners
Very informative video! I’m new to the thought of having a home studio. Is there a particular site I can go to learn what the equipment does and names? What is DAW and what is it used with (for)?
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank Im buying my first musiv equipment. I finally got my laptop and now NEW to devices and music terms. I need as much info. Too. Please and thank you
can you make or video or help me out i wanna know where’s the software can you make a video or help me find one with the downloading or what to do after you set it all up
Good video bro but I was hoping u would go into the Software side of things a bit more.. That's where most ppl will have real issues especially ppl like me who are just starting out on this road now.. Maybe u have made a video about the software and I just haven't seen it as of yet but If u can I'd be very grateful my bro.. Loved the video all the same and respect to ya all the way from IRELAND man,,
Hi Edward..nice review,,i want to record a guitar demos, so i need a small home studio...is this presonus interface able to record guitars over microphone ??
Y does the interface not even pop up on the start page it just says window audio and generic usb so when I click on the it said it cant be initiated please check hardware configuration what do I do?
I purchased this for my granddaughter for Xmas. Sorry if this is a stupid question but do you actually get a box with the software or is this the download in the instructions?
@Edward Smith Hey man. Realized this video is quite a few years old and I wanted to ask if it is still a great choice for simple home recordings? I am planning to connect a mic and keyboard, basically. Still a great option?
If my keyboard is also usb, how would i plug that into the interface if the iPad is using that power? Do I need to get a usb connector for that? If you understand my question, if not it’s fine but thanks for the video big dawg…
How will I connect my electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drum, piano and bass into my studio?? What are the thing that I need for drum to record?? What kind of interface I need to buy to connect every instrument and vocal??
In your case it will be better to get an 8 input audio interface, and then split your recordings by recording your drums separate for the others. Then you put everything together in post.
Any Daw is fine really...its really up to you the user to get the hang of it. So many great options out there...For Me I use a pavilion too but the Daw I use is FL studio cos that's how I started out and don't really feel the urge to change it. The Daw really isn't the game changer, you are and your ability to use all features properly. So just scan through TH-cam, watch a few videos of all kind of Daws like,FL Studio, Ableton, Cakewalk, Cubase , This bundle we're looking at even comes with its own Daw (Studio One). Watch reviews get the one that appeals to you best.
And record on the laptop most definitely. I pads and most touch screen devices aren't built for this kind of purpose . Music production is heavy pro work.
Hi Edward, can you recommend a bundle in the same price range without monitor speakers and headphones as I have these with my current music stereo set up. I would ask just for the other components left individually but I like the fact a bundle comes with all cables as I have never had a recording studio set up before and wouldn’t have a clue with setting up and acquiring the correct cables etc. Great content for somebody like me who wants to get started with a basic beginner set up.
hi i have problem to heard both speakers and only the main speaker is the one that i can listened,and can you help me how to record my song and my guitar on this equipment?,thanks
Well I have a question I'm trying to do my own music studio all USB setup do you have any suggestions what type of things to get for USB set up if you do please let

could you do a video showing us how you make music? its just it would rlly help me out kuz im a bi stuck
I will see what I can do for you!!
Which one do you think is better? Focusrite 2i2 studio bundle or this one? Specially the voice recording performance.
There are quite a few of these 2i2 bundles out there. Reply with a link so I can see exactly which one you're looking at 👌
