That’s fer sure!

Too kind...! Thanks Marty!

+Kevin Tompkins thanks Kevin!

Thanks Samuel!

Thanks Orlando!

I agree... you have a few 808s??? I can’t find one that isn’t a fortune! Love the vintage gear... especially for learning synthesis... so much more fun than software, and there is something magical about hardware synths!

+Rejnert Jansson thanks Rejnert!

Indeed! Helps to keep me chill...

YOU are so dang cool!

Thanks!!

Most welcome Dan!

Nice! I always have fun with it when I fire it up... So many patches to be found on the internet!

Thanks John! I do work at it daily... always trying to improve!

Thanks!

Thanks Ramon!

Definitely a jack of all master of none... but I have a lot of fun! (Short attention span!)

+Better Ideas good call man, time to get that rolling!

+logan cartwright I think there’s a lot of downloading going on! Yeah, the munchkin keeps me inspired!

Thanks Tyler! Hit me up in a month or two, we could chat shop at Krazy Bobs or something!!

@@jefgibbons Sounds great man. Will do!

@@jefgibbons I am proud to say that I am Tyler's close friend and fellow lower mainlander. When I was 17 years old, I walked in to Bob's place and said "Hey man... do you have any records with open drum breaks on them?" Expecting a response like "Ummm... what... uhh... try ACDC", he said to me "Sandy Nelson... row 34, 3 bins back". Dude is amazing... as are you! Thank you for the content. Your studio is gorgeous.

+Rod Equis thanks!

Right on Raul! People will eat that stuff up... and that's timeless content as well! I'm getting tired of doing the product of the week videos myself... more of that great motivational stuff that I see on your channel, so thanks for inspiring me!

@@jefgibbons that's awesome! Happy I could. 🙏 thanks for the encouragement. Definitely feels good to switch it up sometimes. I'd be interested in that kind of content from you! I feel like I make that content because I like to hear it echo back. I need it just as much as anyone else. I feel like the best way to be encouraged is to encourage. If it falls on def ears atleast it vibrated through your own being as you spoke it into existence. ✌

+Dr. Waako Barbie right on! Yeah, it’s possible for sure.

I'm also wondering wich big screen monitor he has now. I want the same 😜

+Yaniv Shchori thanks Yaniv! I appreciate it...

Yeah, pretty sweet! (and cheaper than one of those old monitors!)

Sort of, it was a slab from the hardware store with legs purchased separately. The top shelf was the recent addition. Thanks Tony!

Thanks so much, same to you!

+Thomas Reinke classic... they hold records! And they’re cheap!

Thanks! They’re Panasonic GH5 and GH5S. The new GH6 is just out, so I’ll probably get one of those!

+Peter Young its the 2013 Mac Pro trash can... fairly quiet for recording! Def need to upgrade...

Great question! Should’ve mentioned that... I have a bunch around my desk, behind and under my desk. Trying to make a dead zone around the speakers etc. then I have them wider spaced to the back of the room. I have thicker ones stacked in the corners to act a little like bass traps (corners are bad for bass buildup). Then I have foam on the ceiling to reduce flutter between the floor and the ceiling. Not perfect, but gets better all the time!

Jef Gibbons Thank you, super helpful!

Phillip Smith just to add to jefs pretty much awesome setup and explanation, just think music as waves that bounces of objects like walls, windows corners and roof and behind it . So if you imagine your room try and visualise the waves and where they might bounce off from that’s how I set my setup. Corners. Behind the desk, each speaker sits on a foam square. It takes a long time to get it just right I am still improving mine and it’s still not finished. The problem is each room is different the size etc just keep at it, you’ll get there 👌

Latest Maschine (mk3) fire away with any other questions!

+tempy mode I’m not there yet with scratching... baby scratcher 😉 I spent years composing for one company, and I’ve had luck on premiumbeat.com

I hear you... I usually either work only in maschine, or with maschine in Cubase to start. I should make a video on getting stems out of maschine!

Hi Gerard! Here is an old one, but pretty much the same today! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8inocaprMW7YYk.html

@@jefgibbons Thanks for the quick response Jef! I’m also a Cubase and Nuendo guy, music, photo and video. Cheers!

+dowtube1 thanks for the comment! I’ve been using 32gb ram for a long time now, and I don’t see that being the weak link on my old 2013 Mac Pro. I see cpu as the weakest part, so I’d say at least 32 gb ram and then the best cpu you can afford.

dowtube1 number 1 good clock speed ram like ddr 4 3200 and above, the amount of ram can vary I have 128 gig. I went so high is I have lots of synths and vst’s open at a single time and that have lots of voices the more you use the more ram it allocates it. CPU should be your 2nd I have a i9 9940 which to be honest is abit overkill, a i7 8700 is more than enough. 3rd is a optional but not a must is getting a quality graphics card I have dual 1080ti 11gig each bridged sli, if you tinker around with the gpu memory it can be allocated to daws and other programs so you can use them other then just playing games, seeing gpu’s sit in a high lvl bus lanes in your computer the bandwidth back and forth is just ridiculously fast. Saying that a high end setup can cost a lot of $ but if you do it in stages like getting a high end motherboard and a i7 with 32 gigs of ram even under 3200 clock speed get a average gpu then save up and just buy little things over time, add more ram etc etc then the costing isn’t had much upfront. Hope this helps.

@@hassmiloud4686 thank you for your suggestions. The machine you point out would easily reach $3k { in 2019 prices}. But I see your point in RAM and CPU. I am wondering, why one would need a heavy duty Graphics, when all one is running is CUBASE, where lightening fast refreshes may not be needed.

dowtube1 cubase/neundo won’t use all that power but think about all the vst’s and line ins aux/ midi devices. Plus all the analog gear, input a sound card / umount audio interface can handle so much pass through without buying multiples which is stupid money. We’re talking proper audio grade hardware plus most studios I worked at had server racks full of server grade computer with duel or even quad CPU’s per mother board. So for a person who makes music at home with a limited budget, you have to get creative with assets you can buy and afford hence gpu is the perfectly way of using something meant for gaming and using the same hardware and tech for something else like carrying the load with its gpu which are basically ram Just abit more complex but serves the same purpose or get some analog gear like compressors etc. I am not saying it’s the perfect setup or it’s for everybody.. it depends on the user and what he has. For me I got loads of hardware and for example have 10 vsts running at one go like mashine 2 , Kontact, avenger, nexus 2 , sylenth1, dune 2 or even serum etc going in one project and then 30mins later delete half those vsts cause one doesn’t have the right sound. Yes I understand my flow of productivity might not be like yours or others but I rather just it not lagging than changing my style of writing I been doing for over 25 years well 17ish with the new daw integration. And I understand most starting out or a up and coming engineers/ producers won’t have the money for all those plug ins and hardware like i have and others. But keep watching jef’s vids and you will learn a lot, he even thought me a thing or two a person never stops learning. I think I rambled I enough 😀

+Bee Gee you’re right! Glossed over that... kind of important. It is the clarett... and it’s not bad. I don’t like the preamps on it, they have an “air” feature that seems like it’s just a boost in the high frequencies, nothing magical about it. The isa preamps are much better. I do like the software control, the routing, and the hardware knobs. I also like the meters... and it wasn’t expensive. Next time I’d get a better sounding preamp with less pres!

@@jefgibbons Thanks for the insight bro! I was contemplating getting that same focusrite you have, but after reading your reply... I think I'm gonna go with the UA Apollo Solo for $600. They only have 2ins and 2 outs but it seems like no one ever complains after they buy a UA Apollo. And those daggone things are expensive. What do you think about the UA Apollo series?

+reaz allykhan not a bad idea... but it’s cold up here in Canada!

Jef Gibbons oh I see ...I was trying to work out where you’re based ...by trying to work out your accent....nice1👌✌🏼✌🏼

Yorkville YSM1-P, old monitors that I am just very used to!

That's amazing! Which one?? I use a "late 2013" Mac Pro. It's old but it just keeps kicking...

+Corey Nelson coming this summer! Lotta work man...

How about an instrument, probably not a drum set::)

Just had a brain bubble, a digital instrument that puts up images on screen that relate to notes played?

+logan cartwright if that... maybe a v-drum set with headphones!

+Bogdan Frincu - Composer oh man, I have 5 kids. Yup. Advice is work during nap and bedtime! They get old reeeeally fast!

+Tazmanian Ninja man, it’s a tough call. I put a backing of plastic or fabric on mine, and then once they’re mounted I don’t think there’s much that would get out of them... but I’m no authority on the matter! Tough call...

+Beats Of A Sleepwalker ach du lieber... vielen dank!

Absolutely... fire away!

@@jefgibbons do you have a email ot aface book i can contact you on. I been trying to learn maschine and just learning how to put together a beat. I have so many questions i would like to ask

I would like to learn more about maschine. I jave maschine mikro mk2 and i wnt to learn how to make beats. I only make loops and having a hard tome understanding how to establish and create a actual song. I think im only making loops. I guess i just have to many questions to ask, like how do u know what where the kick and snare go on the bars and what how to create a intro hook verse chorus, verse and outro. I would really appreciate if someone could help me in any way possible

@@jefgibbons I want to get better at using mascjine and i want to know how i get more instrument or sounds for the software . I have alot of questions and i want to know if maschine users have a facebook group or somewhere i can go to ask some of the questions i have.

+chiman bangali indeed...
