Its Kinda funny if you think about it but.... Fullsail students spend a ton of money to be in those classes, and I just literally sat thru an entire course for free. I was a Fullsail student, it was cool, but one thing they don't teach you is the hustle of this music industry, and that for an engineer is key.

Full Sail University, this is a great video. I'm really enjoying this and more videos like this. I'm looking forward to more. Can you guys please run the music from the computer and not thru a room mic? It sounds like the music is being ran thru a microphone and not the computer. It's causing a little delay and feedback to come thru the audio. It makes a little harder to listen being that audio engineering depends on clarity.

@victornwasogwa2593 6 жыл бұрын

I've got a question please; Pro Tools is seen as the industry standards, I should believe the stock pugins are great and industry standards too. Now while I use stock plugins to mix, do you think there is something I'm missing out on by not using 3rd party VSTs? The assumptions here is that I know how to use my plugins to achieve what I desire in a mix, does not using some of these popular plugins like the Waves bundles have me miss out on some extra great sound? What's your take on ignoring stock plugins for the 3rd party VSTs?

@musa4747 6 жыл бұрын

3rd party plugins usually have their own unique sound to them eg. SSL board by Waves or UAD. You can get away with using JUST the stock plugins but its always worth having more just in case

@benderrodriguez7303 5 жыл бұрын

Most basic plugins run at around 16 bits, some 3rd party plugins like waves (which have the ssl plugins) run at 16 to 32 bits, if u max out your ram they can run at higher bits which means higher quality in your mix.. hope this helps u out.

I could never remake my own beats since the sound design and mixing decisions are essential to creation. The original is always best which is why 2 tracks are used in hip hop.
