I must say I do enjoy your way of explaining things to the people. Very simplified and gentle (I like your South African accent too) I hope you're happy with your life, I think you have earned the right to be happy :)

What people don't realize is that any multitrack recording software that can render out multichannel tracks to multichannel waves files will allow you to insert your tracks into any software. You can start a song with one software on a PC and then finish the song with a different software on a Mac. It's about what suits your work-flow the best, once tracks are rendered to waves all software becomes interchangeable...

Man all your video is so useful you inspire me and I'm a producer my self and been using Logic pro for 2 years now.Thanks for all the tips and God bless brother aloha from Hawaii!!

Reason 6 does it all straight out of the box.

A GREAT GUY...WITH VALUABLE WORDS....

@steadytube Garageband is great for playing around but if you want to go to the next level you really need to upgrade to logic , you will love it

Im getting into the music production and i like your videos it helps a lot i think. thanks for your help!

Well said & great advice David!

Good points...for myself, on PC, Cubase and Presonus Studio One, and on my Mac, Logic or Cubase. They eachg have advanatages/disadvantages, but they all get you wher you want to get to, if you put your mind to it. And you're right, music is music...so, don't blame the tools...like individuals, they have personalities of their own that you've got to get to know...then, when you do, you'll be too busy making music to blame the tools.

You are exactly right. Its all about the individual. I can buy a toyota corolla for 10k and another person may buy a Lexis for 20k; it will do the exact same thing. Its not about the software, its about the quality and time the musician puts into making their music. Thanks for replying.

hi...... u r great..... u just opened my friend's eye bro...... thank u for uploading.

thank you! david for your info/ your book

Good stuff! I am just getting into this. Or I should say....back into it. I took some time off to earn my Keith Richard's merit badge and well....here I am. I wanted to at that there are a lot of freeware daw packages out there too for the beginer or someone who may be on a budget. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. Very inspirational! Music is such a gift! peace!!!!!!

Thank you, it was very informative, not overwhelming like most videos are.

Sonar X2 all day long!! Powerful, economic, stable!!

It may seem outrageous for I am about say, Fl STUDIO is by far the best and the easiest ever. I master all my tracks in it. No doubts about it. Here is a shocking revelation for all of you. Thank you

brilliant, informative posts from you.... well done.... we are just looking at recording, found this very helpful :-)

@JSprayaEntertainment I'm not really into comparing different DAW's or plugins etc.. on youtube. I'm into advanced music production techniques. I go into specifics in my FREE ebook which you can get at my blog . My techniques you can use on any DAW or plugins. Most crap producers blame their gear when actually they dont know how to use their gear .

Reaper is arguably the best DAW, or one of the best. It's highly flexible and CHEAP, noncommercial licenses are 60 dollars and you get some upgrades with it too for a certain number of updates, I believe also with non-commercial you can pay 60 dollars if you also make less than 20k a year of your recordings, I might be wrong though, it may be it's own license, but it's also VERY affordable, and then there's the commercial one. The pricing is EXTREMELY fair, check it out.

Love your information; it is changing my whole outlook on my future home studio. Big question: Between ProTools, Logic and Cubase, which of these 3 do you believe that a newbie to this technology could learn in the quickest amount of time, sufficiently to lay down some quality, professional tracks ?

@Voitcu Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . I personally like every kind of music thats done well .

Im so sick of everybody talking about Pro tools, Logic Pro, Abelton and all of this industry standard stuff. Man, if you dont have the money then forget it! Mixcraft, Cakewalk, Ntrack, and many more are very fun, friendly, nice, and can do the same exact thing those $500 software can do. This is 2012, if you want to get serious with music, you can spend $2500 or lesser for a professional home studio.

the background music is awesome

I LOVE YOUR ACCENT.

NICE VIDEO MAN VERY INFORMATIVE THANX ALOT .

hey David !can we use there electronic keyboard a replacement of midi keyboard

A rant if I may. I'm a musician of 30+ years. I have noticed for many years. That sound engineers, weather it's for radio, TV, DVD's (it doesn't matter) want to enhance everything. That's their job. But what they don't realize is how much their background music can interfere with the subject of the media. I know a successful sound engineer will have very good hearing. So they don't realize when they have the background music, and sounds ect, so loud. That it interferes with the understanding of, what is being said in the commentary. By a person that is hard of hearing. It's not really their fault, but it is in a way. They have good hearing so they don't realize when they are doing it. They think everything is fine when in fact it's not. They want to get the attention of the audience, They are, but the wrong way. I myself have quit watching lots of movies, TV stations and shows and ( commercials which are a lot louder then the show it interrupts) for this reason. I've watched several of your video, and you are no exception. You need to pull down the volume of your background music in your video's. I do a little home recording and you can bet the background music will not interfere with the commentary

I use Sonar X2 and I love it. Please do a review on this software

thanks man. really helpful.

Personally I'm gonna go with Logic Pro on the Mac but Pro Tools is good too amongst others

thanks my friend

I'm trying to build a home recording studio.The first thing, is so frustrating to deal with computers (pcs) and hardware that could not be compatible. Such a headache. Then dealing with latency. Then dealing with memory capacity. I'm starting to believe that is better just to buy the recording tool like the Tascam DP24 where you don't need to take the crap of a PC and just get your job done. I just want to write and perform my own songs and I don't want to deal with stupid computer glitches.

@Peginum it's in the App Store

I Love You!! you made my day!!

@KidWuzi Thanks bro !!

@doctorug55 I'll check it out . I dont know Ableton very well

@doctorug55 Cubase has the midi technology that ableton protools and others have based their midi window on.

@KidWuzi It's almost the same as Logic Studio from the looks of it. I think its fine to work with. I believe that most of the DAWs are much of the same these days. Use what suits you. I'm sure if you put me in front of that software, within three hours I'll have a killer tune. It's knowledge and talent that make a producer good not necessarily gear :-)

love the vids very insightful. i am a total neeewwbie. what do you think of garageband as a starter DAW???? i use that with guitar rig pro 4/. keep up the vids

NIce to meet u. ur a good man/.

Thankyou Master Yoda :)

Omg I love the definitions :P

@outaki12 Protools or Cubase

@DavidCamposComposer The "Help" indicates "If you have an external MIDI synthesizer then this will be your best option because the latency is likely to be very low and you will keep good synchronization between your MIDI clips and audio clips. If you do not have an external MIDI device then you can use the built in Microsoft synthesizer. Please note that the built in synthesizer has a significant lag which can make synchronisation difficult." Please translate?? How fix??

@clarkewi It sound like a latency problem

Good Points , i use pro tools for audio recording , and FL Studio 9.6 with reason 5 and ableton rewired to it for Beat Making ... Name Some Synths and programs besides logic What is In your Studio ???????????

iLike evreything yuh mintioned bro , but im also hearing about ilogic so idk what ishould get D: help me out wich one do yuh highley recomind the most?

Why no mention of Cakewalk products..... Not everyone uses Apple interface software...

you the best

or try take ref to sites like gearslutz and tweakheadz, in order to perhaps forget headaches

Is this the same guy that produced Kleva by Mapaputsi?

I record in Acid, Mix and Master in Sonar X1.

if I have cubase and I make a beat and then send it to a studio that has protools will they be able to mix it (make the master)? I learned that from you :) Thanks for the video and your time. ~Tony

Cubase and Logic are the big boys.

@ArtQuakedoom95x4 My friend , It IS possible BUT its very difficult . There are many ways of extracting bits and pieces out of songs . I do it all the time but only if I'm getting paid to ripp something off or something .

do you think that reason is good?

Obrigado amigo gostaria de ver um vídeo uma banda gravando esse multitrack

Hey David, may i ask you something? I`m interested to start recording at home, since i play guitar, i have all the equipment, amp, pedals, dynamic microphone, so i was looking for a good recording software, so then i could start learning and recording some backing tracks. May you give me any advice or what do you think it would be the best solution to start? I play mostly blues/ rock, any advice or opinion would be really appreciated. Thanks

I am planning on getting the TASCAM DP-02 multitrack recorder. What do u think? Should I go for it? (I have pro tools by the way)..Please help me out! haha. THANK YOU!

I downloaded some multitrack mixing softare - mixpad Audio Mixer v 2.20 NCH Software. However, I seem to having some problems with it as when I record a second track ( I am doing rhythm instruments) the tracks go out of sync. It seems like the origninal is slowing down until it sounds like an echo. Any ideas for what's wrong?

Hey i really want to produce, and desing music and i want to know from an expert wich carrer is a good one i was thinking on studying on audio engineer but i am not shure will you help me

@clarkewi i have the same problem!

so whats the best for a PC? im trying to record my originals and audacity isnt going to cut it.

how about sonar?

Hello, is your Ebook on Kindle? Cause I could not find it.

I a total novice and would like to know which package could create music like this (while being simple to use) /watch?v=gTd4RMI9zXU&feature=related

what about ableton live?

Anyone know if Fl Studio is capable of recording multitracks? Can't find it in the manual or online.

for sound audio cards are a must. mac - logic pro / cubase pc - Samplitude-Sequoia pro / cubase / logic plat / synapse orion. on the side - soundforge 6-8 / aicd pro 3-5 the cakewalk vst adaptor , wavelab 6 , AAMS , melodyne , Presonis . adobe audition , adobe soundbooth , FL studio is crapware in my opinion , its got a horrible sound engine -not professional in my opinion , you want the big sound you use the big tools and a good audio card 24bit/96000 or higher .

What about FL studio?

do you do ANY of this using Windows 8????

He spent so much time on the background music ha

I have workstation and I want to do some recordings using my PC what recording software I can use to enhance the quality of my recordings?

I dont have a MAC btw

@ArtQuakedoom95x4 I am from South Africa

@pusspittman1 Logic Pro is AWESOME !!

a man how do you view reason?

Tascam DP24 Dear Sir, You are looking in a kind of right direction- only an illusion: this would offer You digital world issues Well if You don't mind , please let me say "You 're welcome in the pc world of us" If You really wish to go really away from this force of hidden gravity, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A REEL TO REEL device, if You can afford its price and its own connectors issues, not so problematic , IMHO Best Regards ps: welcome to this world, LOL

if folks really understand the power and capability of ableton live,everyone will be probably using it to do everything,

@pitolove71 Reaper for the win! :P

FL Studio and Logic..

word. i didnt kno that

seems legit.

Nuendo rules

aviciii uses fl studio....nw u only can guess..wat it can do :P

Ableton.

@napome Garage band SUCKS for serious editing and recording. It's a toy mostly. For extremely basic things it's fine, but if you think a professional or serious musician should use Garage Band you have a lot to learn.

i like pc daw butt i steel fill that Multitrack casset recorders have a un beatable crisp mix down sound

YOu've got some good videos and you definitely know what you're talking about, just you seem to ramble and thusly produce fairly long videos... Not necessarily bad, but it can get boring and also itsn't good when you just want someone to cut to the chase. Great vid though.

@beatmasterj Thanks Bro !! Maybe I can actually meet you one day :-)

@zzsharka I like the other vids a lot more.

Cubase beats Logic hands down

NUENDO 4

Sonar Producer x1

Ableton, FL Studio, Cubase, Logic does pretty much the same job with different specs and workflows, to anyone who still thinks FL Studio sounds weak and cheap, get yourself a Waves EQ pack and open your ears. Same shit applies to any DAW that deals VSTs.

@adrher1 Why dont you signup and subscribe at my site. you will get a free ebook and I will let you know about an advanced music production course coming soon which will cover everything I have learnt in my 20 years of experience.

да это ж давидыч)

There win´t no such as #1. Thats why the world uses different ones. But some are better for some tasks.

He makes me feel slow

Way off... First of all, Pro Tools and Logic don't support VST. Each has its own plugin format. Second, he forgot to mention that Logic doesn't run on Windows. And third, if you're just getting started, consider the availability and price of entry-level versions. For Logic, the entry-level version is Garage Band (comes on every mac). For Cubase - there's "Cubase Elements" for under $100. On Windows, there's Sonar, with a $40 entry-level version (called "Cakewalk Music Creator"). Very weak video.
