What You NEED to Start Making MUSIC (Computer, Software & Hardware)
Рет қаралды 149,171
Күн бұрынI think every music producer needs a home studio. In this video, I share my recommendations and advice for building or improving your own music studio.
I'll show you the essential equipment and software you'll need to produce music and record songs.
I've made plenty of mistakes with equipment over the years so I hope this will help you when setting up your own space.

2:00 Also for the computer spec, - ALWAYS - think about an extra HDD for backup Internal or external I had 3 ssd failure in the last 10 years for no specific reason and without real warning
@overseastom 2 жыл бұрын
Additionally, the way that many SSDs apparently fail is if you fill them up and only leave a small amount of space for new files and scratchpads, etc.

That y u want to use a nas most people who buy regular drives or SSD dont want to back up their projects manually implementing the 321 backup rule and having the process automated on the other hand you can go with my cloud storage which will cost you more money over time so having a nas will give you the best both of worlds a regular drive and a cloud service kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lb50Z8KE1uC0nmQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7yAY7OJ1tGZpZc.html

Power conditioning is one of the most overlooked things in studios. I highly recommend for people to look into it if they have their studios in apartment buildings, older houses, or in rural areas. Aging/substandard wires, transformers, and other electrical doohickeys can cause fluctuations in power that is not noticed with the majority of electronics but show up in music production equipment more frequently. Also it will extend the life of your gear :)

There is something genuinely comforting about listening to this man. Apart from being extremely knowledgeable, he takes the time to edit his uploads so they're not full of "um,....err.....like....you know?......." It makes a real difference to the 'palatability' of the message. And on top of that you feel he really cares, both about the quality of your music production, and even your health. Top channel. Please keep up the good work. It certainly motivates me to compose and record.

Something to keep in mind with laptops: some laptops can get quite warm quickly when you are using them, especially at full CPU load. Some of those same laptops can also have bad air circulation that is compounded greatly when you lay it flat down on a surface. Over time, this can warp the chassis of the laptop and can even affect performance due to heating issues. I highly recommend having your laptop resting at an angle rather than flat. You can use a laptop stand, especially ones that are designed to improve the overall air circulation (and this will help keep the laptop itself cool). The easiest and cheapest way is to put little "feet stands" at the bottom of the laptop. That way, you can open them up when you are using the laptop and close them when the laptop is packed away.

Great video. Wish I had seen this years ago on my journey. Definitely agree a nice pair of headphones goes a long way. I've had a pair of Yamaha HS8 studio monitors in my untreated bedroom setup for a couple years and they've never really sounded that great imo, I get way more detail from my Audiotechnica M50x headphones. And I recently got a pair of open back Sennheiser HD650s which seem very similar to my monitors, but more perhaps controlled and detailed. Wish I had pursued the headphone path more earlier on instead of buying into the monitor hype. I agree they're useful to have, but more as a check than the primary tool

I’m so frustrated, because I couldn’t show my appreciation this time. This is real educational gold. I tumbled for 20 plus yrs to accomplished some of this knowledge. I had even consider take a “ proper”educational and subsecuente carear. But the money requirements and the general snootiness of the whole environment; made me decide to just proceed on my own. I could contribute with a grain: Between a M1 plus Logic(best value ever), add a descent interface, one good mic, one good xlr cable, a pair of Beyerdynamics headphones, forget about the speakers and add a midi thing; will set you back on an average off $1000. Of course you can get all this for considerable less money. Search around find the best deals. Don’t forget to borrow a stand, for ever.
