This info is exactly what I needed to get. Constructive and no nonsense. Much appreciated.

Wow, truly inspiring. I'm 15 and I have made my walk in closet into my own small studio with a laptop, an mbox2, a guitar, a samson microphone and some old speakers all by myself. I only have Pro Tools and Fl Studio and I'm hoping to upgrade to a Mac and Logic very soon. Sure it's expensive, but I love it and it's worth every cent.

I am fortunate to find your work and your teaching online and I look forward and excited to learn from you I just got done reading your e-book and was amazed that i had everything I needed to start making great creations and before I sat wondering "what can I buy to make me do great creations" when like you mention in your e-book that every joe has a studio but its LACK OF KNOWLEDGE that we need not expensive gadgets thank you and hope to learn more from your teachings

Very inspiring Dave. Incredible snapshot of your daughter on the keyboard back when she was a toddler.. that one must almost choke u up when u see it, it nearly did to me! wow man. so beautiful! cheers

David Campos - You are the man!

Loved it! You are so inspiring! I'll build my own studio this coming fall and I'll be watching your stuff online! Thanks!

I aspire to be a music producer so I love the info you give it really helps.

Great stuff, man... I have discovered you recently and saw many of your videos. Congrats for your achievements and you're living my dream! hehe...(I'm trying to learn the most I can to be a good sound eng./ producer/ artist). Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your honesty when you tell about your stories and personal experiences. Consider me a fan now ;) . God Bless!

I really enjoyed watching this! Thanks for sharing.

@fojeba I use the built in Mic Pre-amp of the Digi 002 . Its sounds awesome !! You right about the mic-pre amp being important

man this guys legit, the imaschine app and beatmaker app has changed things for me!

Hi David: Thank you for your inspiring video. Been a long time messing about with this technology with no result; financially or creatively. Just shot a video of my studio reorganization. New beginnings. All the Best.

Hi David , Fantastic I really enjoyed your vid . Keep it up , great work .and good luck

Hello Sir, I've been helped and inspired a lot by your ebook music production 101.And I'm waiting for the video when u'll tell us the secret about building,sound proofing and room acoustics of a home recording studio in budget. In fact I needed it so badly and urgently that I can't wait anymore.I'm dying and spending sleepless nights for getting a genuine help from you.So plz post an another mindblowing and inspiring video as soon as possible. Thanks a lot big brother!

Brilliant, thank you. This gives me some hope for my home recording.

@brownzist Thanks for your comment Brownzist . mixing is a subjective thing. This is the type of discussion I have everyday with my clients. I prefer to mix the voice right at the edge of the music using a side chain compressor on the music track. KZfaq's 360p audio quality doesn't help & I know my accent is also strange which doesn't help either LOL BUT having said that , I think you can hear every word. I will however keep my eye on that for future videos .

Hey David, Great Video, Keep em Coming!!!!

@fromo16 Garageband is a good place to start BUT you will need to move to a better DAW ( Digital Audio Workstation) like Logic Studio to really make good music .

@BESTUNDRATEDEUCER I also got Trillian . It rocks !! only you must wait for it to load the 3 gigs per bass sound

David....thank you for you work! Very helpful. I am trying to figure out which software system to use...it gets a bit more complicated though when you want to do both sound and video...I am just starting all of this out....thanks bro...

Hell yeah logitech track ball. I love that thing!

This video was amazing! You're a huge inspiration to me, dude! I just bought a Presonus Firestudio Project a few days ago and so far I love it. It comes with Studio One and from what I have played around with so far, I like it a lot. Where are you stationed out of now?

@DavidCamposComposer Ribbons don't (commonly) need phantom power, but aren't harmed if you supply it to them. As long as they don't short out, everything is fine.

great advice.........its never been easier it would have cost 20k 20 years ago to put my setup together.......just learning how to eq each track properly is 90 % of the battle,there is so much BS around audio production,

hey man thanks a lot for this video I'll will be looking foward to your other videos music is changing and that's great I also have a home recording studio I am self thought but I am taking a recording class now what I have learn is thanks to people like you on you tube and a lot of reading...lol I use Reason 6 among other software and I just want to take my music to the next level

@mrcoolsites Welcome to the future . Its not just an idea its a fact of life all around the world today on many albums and music productions .

very inspiring. thanks for sharing

Thank you for the effort in your channel and im going to read the eBook soon. I'm 23 now and I just started getting interested in video and music producing as well as animations. Just started a week ago producing some videos and yesterday started using Ableton live 8.22. Hope it is not too late for me to learn but I am a very curios individual and love creating things. Rote some poetry since I was 7 I think jaja. But in Bulgarian cuz I'm from there.well hope I can just learn the basics first.

@8Jbake8productions Its fine to get started . once you get familiar with it then you can upgrade to a proper DAW

Interesting info... Thanks David...:)

@TheFamilia1 Hey my friend , this is a video about my journey building studios and becoming a professional music producer . This video is like years old now and trust me I can afford everything I need . You dont have to watch any of my videos if you dont want to . but thanks for the comment anyway

Great story! Keep on going!

Genuine person. Important content. Unfortunately bad choice of disruptive BG music with a ridiculously high level. I totally miss the very point of adding music to a conversation that you really want people to listen to. Ever thought of adding BG talk to your music? Of course not!

Hey i really enjoyed this video and i believe and think the same way you do! congrats on your past achievements and good luck on your future! ps im subscribing!

very inspiring and thanx for the video

Slightly but surely eventually! :) Nice Job Man

@Usuf1995 you must make sure your levels are correct at each stage of the signal chain

You're so cool dude! Very good tips.

It took time for the video to get interesting, but overall: thank you so much=)

@Dtwizted All you really need is a laptop, a good DAW ,a soundcard and a USB keyboard . If you want to record vocals then you will need a condensor microphone .Its all in my FREE ebook on my blog

Love the Kashmir ripoff running as the soundtrack to the vid.... ;-) Pretty good Bonham sound on those drums!!

@KidWuzi Ya , you are right . the truth is that I dont actually use my G5 mac and those moniters anymore. you see the little apple macbook pro ... Thats my studio now !!

@Chicago10281 I've used garageband and cubase but not sonar 8 .

@pitolove71 Thank you for the kind words

@Keyboardkid13 I use a MacBook Pro (laptop) Itake it every where i go

THNX DUDE , GOOD JOB !

inspirational videos

Friend i believe it completely. Thats true slowly but surely. Do tell me friend how can we use those tracks. Are there software what we can use for recording I am using cool editpro 2.0.

Ive used Cubase, Reason, Ableton live, Cakewalk, Sonar and i have stuck with FL studio. :) dont know why, Just its so easy and user friendly ! :)

great video you rule

@emoneycarrillo16 Definitely my friend . Ribbon and condenser microphones both need phantom power

Seeing all your comments, gets me motivated! So many singers i am going against. To get to the top of the entertainment industry must be tough. I got to try my hardest and take this seriously >:I

great thankyou

amen, exactly the same

Thanks, this was interesting....you know you look like Michael Poulsen from Volbeat with your beard...learning how to record here too, I find I get better sound from my br 600 than I do from reaper....cant figure that one out but reaper a t least seems a lot quieter and more compressed without changing things...

@DavidCamposComposer Hey David, I give people a free ebook too. Your response is classic! LOL People want everything for nothing.... and when they get it.... they complain. I'm enjoying your ebook! What microphone would you recommend ... the best bang for the buck. What do you think of the USB mics that are coming out?

nice monitors

@DavidCamposComposer When will u show video of studio built with no nails and low cost that you hinted about in this video............. Thanks for info.

@Esthiem try audacity . Its free and you can edit your takes

@JamesHarps Well James thanks for the constructive criticism. I will try and talk faster then about you because this is your channel right? ....Wrong !!!

@indaswamp Thanks Indaswamp , Much respect !!

hey David, you could say at least a couple of lines about your special cheap technic of soundproofing. I bet half of the viewers are looking for that, just as I was after reading your ebook, but couldn't find a word about it. would you please?

@uVme1game Nice !! Post up a sample one day for us to hear

@vegardini11 Sorry bro , I was a bit shy and this is once of my first videos, I was still figuring it all out.

@BESTUNDRATEDEUCER Logic on the mac runs in native 64 bit :-)

@BESTUNDRATEDEUCER I will be doing some tutorials on building a home studio for dirt cheap soon . you should subscribe to my blog

@DavidCamposComposer hey David, i appreciate everything you teaching out here on youtube, its very valuable information for starting producer/artists like myself, thank you. but i have not been able to download your e book coz i cant find the link..... help please. by the way..... are you related to Nicky Campos?

My man David is very knowledgeable musically and sonically. I learned the definition of compression and eq from his ebook. If you guys want to get a good laugh check out my channel and subscribe for more!! I'm filming another skit tomorrow and posting it tomorrow as well!!

@DavidCamposComposer He is wondering why your monitors are Cathod Ray Tube (CRT) the glass tube displays and not the LCD.

whats the least that u can have to produce music or the easiest and cheapest way

heey love your story. I have propellerhead reason 4 do you think it wil work to create some nice drum and bass songs in it?

Any suggestions on recording LIVE music using the NEW Windows 8, and eliminating the incumbent latency issues...???

I bought a RODE NT1A. Does the job.

Haha, straight away I can here a Joburg boy!

Just curiosity, why do you use CRT monitors ?

Hi, actually I wanted to ask you what reverb you used on the backwards reverb trick, but i can not find the video now. And I wanted to add something I've learned, you can correct me, I found this after 16 years: You can not have a good recording in the same room as where the vocalist/guitarist is doing his/her thing. If you use headphones you 'hear' the ambient sound and you try to correct.. and the recording sounds dreadful. Any suggestions (from using a real studio?) Thanks for your videos.

hi David, why do i get unwanted noise from my electric guitar when i switch my pickup while playing a solo? please help me!!! i use mixcraft!!

PLEASE RESPOND what type of computer do u have and whats the cost

Make a video just showing putting down a drum, then a bass, a guitar, and vocals. I just want to put a song down!

hey, could you help me? i have just baught an editors keys microphone and it sounds great, i would love you do a cover video but i don't know how to record from my kodak and hear from my studio mic aswell? what do i do?

hey whats a good multi track recording software for windows xp?

@brownzist You will be surprised how little gear you need . go to my blog and subscribe and I will show you how :-)

@DeadCee Why dont you check out some of my other videos !! I teach alot of stuff for free. Also this is my channel and I can say and do what I like . I have helped countless people in music production ,you don't have to get so rude and offensive :-(

your dream studio includes standard def CRT monitors? LCD or LED monitors would look better, give you better resolutions and don't bathe you in radiation. They also offer smaller/thinner bezels which would work better for a multi-screen setup. Seeing those dinosaurs is making my inner techie cringe

your accent is beautiful.

Hey i really appreciate you giving the free book, But the link i got in my inbox is not working. Pls Help
