Rapper/Producer 30KillaBeatz/RIch Goat was born Brandon Beasley in Detroit Michigan, 30K was raised by his hard-working mother and stepfather in multiple locations such as Virginia, Tennessee, Germany, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Hawaii because of his father's affiliation with the military. He was also known for getting in trouble in school and starting fights. After school, he would go to the Youth Center and wait till his parents picked him up after they got off work. There he saw an old piano that the other kids would play with from time to time. He was amazed and started messing with it himself. He got so good he played one of Beethoven's songs in front of the whole school. All the other parents were amazed and asked his mom if young 30K could teach their kids how to play the piano.

Very good video! I like this comparison. I’m getting volt soon for myself but the studio I work at uses Apollo interfaces so just wanted to see a comparison. Also I noticed throughout your video there were a lot of edits in your speech which isn’t a problem but I get like I was hearing a pop everytime it would cut to an edit so using some fades on your edits could help keep the audio smooth for audiences. Keep up the good work! 💯

I feel like the volt will get the starter peeps by. The input compressor & vintage thing will likely be a game changer for people who don't have hardware gear. Good vid btw

@tdtrecordsmusic 6 ай бұрын

@@creativegreatsvisualsThe short is > caz mics need compressors. Life sux without. Many other sources benefit too. I run YT through it caz people suck with their volume levels. some vids r quiet and some stupid loud =SOO annoying. I dont have a 276, but I will say that having a compressor on the way in is pretty much a must for mics. I record a LOT and I always record the proper dynamic range as the dry signal. if every track you record needs a plugin compressor that is a lot of wasted cpu. Plus, the 1176 is a bit different than a bog standard compressor. its got a special thing. once you start using it, you'll never go back. Basically, it controls the volume, keeps it steady so you can mix. without it there is a lot of work to do. just record it on the way in. the levels will just sound right. You'll probably recognize the sound of it on other records as well. you'll say "oh, that is what that is!"

Not sure if the cutting between clips sound is something you are going for but I am hearing a lot of sharp waveforms from the cuts, if you fad to audio to 0 in and out just before and just after the cut it removes the waveform spike you are basically making a sqaure wave click every time you cut and don't smooth the audio around the cut. It is a little distracting.

No UAD is not the best here is why. They are the only company that does this scandalous stuff. Here is the big problem. How to hide the plugins you do not own inside your DAW? I own the ultimate and I will never buy another UAD plug-in until they fix this. The ultimate only covers less than half of the UAD plugins and the frustration level is beyond belief. I had tech support recommend that I go through my plug-in managers and make the ones I do not own not show up! This took a couple hours because the names do not show up correctly! This company does this on purpose and this does not make your life any easier when you update the software you have to do it all over again!
