8 Commonly Googled Music Production Questions

[@benhort5559]

gotta admit when i clicked on this video i didn't expect the fiverr doctor to play a major part in it. life is full of wonderful surprises

[@greenhound]

he's one of the most prolific people on youtube and doesn't even have a channel

[@shayneoneill1506]

Theres a bar near my house, that specializes in Jazz, uh, Ellington Jazz Club, and whoever designed the sound proofing on that places is a god. The front of the place has these big windows, but if you walk by at night, you hear NOTHING. The second the bouncer opens the door your blasted with noise, but s soon as the door closes, nothing.Oh and inside the sound is immaculate. You can have a whole room of people talking, but somehow the band on stage will be playing and you'll hear it perfectly , but its not super loud, jazz people don't roll that way. Its just... perfect. What I can tell is that the whole place seems to be a room within a room. The front doors almost like an air-lock. Two doors a foot apart. The windows have a second window, and the walls seem to be super wide. I think they literally built the whole bar (Two stories!) as a suspended studio type thing. Its wild.

[@christophervan9634]

I have a friend who died on stage (he had to be brought back to life) due to a bad ground loop. DO NOT take the ground loop plug off of your stuff.

[@brainspoke]

as if i didnt find you to be the most superb person ANYWAY... hiring the actor to play a doctor to ask all this is just..... arghhhh.... amazing

[@hoagyguitarmichael]

Pulled the ground peg out of a Fender Twin power plug once. Touched a mike while holding my guitar and ended up not being able to let go of either while 120 volts coursed through my body. if we had been in Europe I would be dead. Don't do it kids.

[@JFMartinMusic]

Electrocuted myself because someone did this to the twin at my high-school... smh

[@graviton9282]

Must be something that has been recommended after many complaining of ground hum problems with the twin. Interesting🤔

[@stuffnuns]

Guitar Moderne, you are correct. Years ago, Keith Relf, the lead singer for the original Yardbirds, was practicing in his basement studio, and did exactly what you described. he had an ungrounded guitar, grabbed the mic, and it killed him. . .the UK has 220V AC.

[@2adamast]

The (mandatory ?) residual-current device (RCD) is normally there to help, certainly by now where most stuff hasn't a ground plug.

@15:06 my TL;DR here is put a HPF at 120Hz on literally every channel EXCEPT your sub & kick channels... Ez. Perfectly clean sub every time. As far as mixing it, I'd never mix sub-levels based on listening anyway (I always use a frequency analyzer & references). Note: I only mix electronic music, so the violin example is probably valid, although tbh, if you're not HFP'ing a violin anyway, wtf are you doing? xD

[@joelkulesha8284]

You mention making your own samples in this, I would love to see a video of you showing how you personally go about that. I love your tube resonance video so much! I'd love to see more!

[@a_8764]

Doesn't "making your own samples" just mean actually composing original music?

[@OVXX666]

@@a_8764 im p sure he means recording random stuff etc but yh

[@GuyGamer1]

@@a_8764 Essentially just making a few bars of the style you want to sample. Say you want to make a Justice style electro house song. First, you start off by making a couple bars of just straight disco, sticking as close to possible to that 70s disco sound. And then you sample and mangle the shit out of it. No doubt this takes way more talent than sampling an existing record, because you have to know how to produce the style that you want to sample.

[@cleekersneaker]

RE: "How do I sample" - the answers in this video were comprehensive and helpful, but they made one major assumption (it was a fine assumption) that people will be creating their sampled music in a for-profit framework. Of course this is the dominant framework for music. But isn't there more to the world of sampling? I guess I'm opening a "Fair Use" can of worms for remix and plunderphonics culture. These sample based art-forms live in a gray area out on the fringes of art. It's a worthy topic, but perhaps a ridiculous distraction from the primary question, but it's my favorite topic.

[@legitt6093]

I sample and share everything that reaches me. I feel entitled and I don't care about shit. Fuck copyright law!! Because of it, regular people lost more liberties than most can imagine. In the world we live in, education is a choice. Those that stand behing copyrights are the gatekeepers, that try tо control things that are out of their control, punishing regular people only because they can. And yes, I do understand the importance of licenses, and that shit is complicated, but still...

[@tz4601]

@@legitt6093 This is bonkers. The answer is not "fuck copyright," it's "fix copyright." Do you want major record labels to be able to indiscriminately steal music from small independent artists? No? Well copyright is the only thing keeping them from doing that. Imagine if ad agencies were able to use your music in TV ads without paying you a dime. The problem is that whatever protections we give to small artists, we also have to give to major rights holders, who tend to have more money to fight lawsuits. But the answer isn't "get rid of all copyright," it should be to figure out how we prevent money from determining winners in our court systems.

I would like to add that if you build a new studio you should stay away from light dimmers! Better to set up several circuits with different light sources to get that cosy feeling. Light dimmers can creata a hum extravaganza especially with electric guitars!

[@uniqueflowsnake]

One thing that might get lost in this "sound proofing" discussion is: a) do you want to have the room to be for monitoring or b) do you not want the sound to get out. Some of tte answers overlap, but there's 2 different problems with 2 different solutions. Some of the solutions of making a good mixing room work for also insulatiing the room from the outside world but they are not the same thing.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Analogue gear - Its a big subject but one thing none ever talks about is capacitors reaching electron saturation. They then sound their best and this takes a long time. Black Gate capacitors we used in hifi valve amps quote 3,000 hours use before they sound their best and certainly the system, even when run in, will sound better and better over the first few hours. Many valve hifi owners switch their gear on Friday morning for the weekend, switching it off before going to work on Monday. Analogue synths really should be left on to stabilise tuning. Lastly, ANYTHING with a switch mode (computer style) power supply shoudl be left off when not in use. The PSU is switching the mains 50,000 times a second and if that switching chip doesn't die then the dumping capacitors will. Here endeth the sermon.

[@SirSigh4]

You have come a very very long way and i hope nothing but the best for you. Always giving answers to the questions I didn't know i needed.

[@holobass547]

it absolutely kills me how many people conflate the concept of "fair use" in regards to transformative video content on youtube with sampling rights in music production. Music copyrights are their own beast. Thanks a lot for opening the video with some quick and dirty discussion in that area. The more people that know this stuff the better.

[@hsitz]

The fair use doctrine applies in music production just as it does in any other area of copyright law. Saying that sampling of any amount of a music recording is always a violation of copyright is simply false, fair use doctrine will allow some of this copying and disallow others. The problem is that the license holder can always choose to sue for infringement, even if it's likely to be a losing case under the law. So it's always safer to get permission to use a sample of a recording, but it's not always illegal to use a sample without permission. Benn's advice is the safest advice to follow, though not necessarily legally correct. For a quick overview of the actual law, you could look here: www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/permission-sampled-music-sample-clearance-30165.html

[@BennJordan]

@@hsitz A good example of Fair Use. As bragged in my video, the Dove Evolution ad campaign used a remix of one of my already released songs, so they had to license the song and then hire me as a composer to customize it. The Ellen DeGeneres Show and many other media ews outlets referenced the ad as it had a strong social statement. They played my music without licensing it when showing a small clip, this is fair use because copyright law preventing journalism is a potential First Amendment issue. However, Alyssa Milano decided to make a parody of the ad to make a message about how Italian Americans are poorly portrayed on television. MTV loved the idea of this and put it on their website and aired it. I guess she figured it'd be fair use since it was a parody, and I guess MTV figured that she had already gotten permission to use my song, which she did not. Welp, they settled with my agency out of court for that misconception.

[@hsitz]

@@BennJordan I'm not sure what your point is exactly. The fact is that fair use doctrine applies to music sampling. The problem is that people don't always agree on what "fair use" is, and a litigious copyright-holder can sue or threaten to sue even in a situation where a court would, in the end, likely find it be a fair use. This leaves the little guy who wants to use a sample in a bad situation, in a world with litigious copyright holders. So like I said, the advice you gave is the safest advice, always get permission. Technically, however, permission is not always legally required, if it is a true fair use. It's just that even if your use is "fair use" you can still get sued. Yes, I'm a random guy on the internet, also a lawyer FWIW.

[@BennJordan]

@@hsitz Yeah, I'm not arguing. I just figured that would be a good example in addition to what you said since it had 3 different types of usage of the exact same song. 🙂

[@shitmandood]

@@BennJordan Interesting. I thought parodies were fair use...is that only for music? I'm watching a possible lawsuit unfold against Thunderf00t from Trevor Mahlmann...Thunderf00t's putting up videos on some of the email's of Trevor saying how he's going to get "litigious" on him. I think I'd rather steer clear of sampling anybody saying or doing anything...

[@danielcichello4421]

DIMMER SWITCHES! Those switches, on floor/table lamps or wall switches and ceiling fans can cause maddening noise issues. If your outlet is on the same circuit as one of these you will get noise. My downstairs neighbor had a dimmer switch and would drive me crazy because i had no idea it was there. It was intermittent because when the switch is off the noise went away!!! Took me months before I asked him about it! I finally found a different outlet but needed a 25' extension cable lol!

Hey great vid man, I just wanted to say about phantom power that it can fry a ribbon microphone. Granted they're not very common, you're much more likely to find a condenser and dynamic mics but hey, there are some pretty legendary ribbon mics out there, beware ;)

Extra info about phantom power: never use it for dynamic microphones (unless you have an active pre that requires it) and turn it off before unplugging the mic! I did kill my lovely Alesis io2 with the latter.

One other thing with insurance ( if you're touring and flying with your gear/instruments in the hold of the plane ) make sure to find an insurance company that insures your gear/instruments flightside i.e. when it's actually in the hold of a plane. With a lot of the cheaper insurance companies there is a clause that says your gear is not actually insured once you drop it off at security to right up until you pick it back up from the airport luggage belt on the other side. Therefore If it gets stolen, dropped, smashed up, lost by luggage handlers for example it will not be insured and you will get nothing. So double check the contract. As a touring sound engineer for many years I've seen people caught out by this so be aware.

Thank you for making such informative and entertaining videos. I will subscribe to your Patreon.

[@squidcaps4308]

"How to soundproof" missed something important: direct air paths are the most problematic. Which means, it has to be airtight. Ventilation is a major issue and it requires baffles and dust filters (in this case, there is one room between the recording space and rest of the building, which could serve as a "reservoir" for air, making the direct route more complicated). Doors are the first thing to attack when doing just light soundproofing. Direct coupling has MUCH less energy that comes from air, so if you keep all vibrating things decoupled from the floor and walls (not directly connecting to them but have something soft between), that will do a lot. But, without room-in-a-room and very good air tightness where it counts, well designed ventilation... it is never going to be sound proofed, just less leakage.

[@my4trackmachine]

That section on grounding issues would have saved me so much time 12 years ago. I used to live in an old apartment that wasn't grounded at all. It made all my gear buzz like crazy and some electronics act strangely.

[@futur_sunds]

This is probably the most helpful and informative video I’ve ever seen

[@dustdistrict9296]

Installing a new grounding rod won’t help if the wall receptacles aren’t grounded. These days, the main usage of ground is tripping the breaker in case of a fault, i.e. when there is an exposed hot wire electrifying the metal components of an appliance. This is why appliances have a green ground screw that is in direct contact with the chassis, so that the current from an exposed hot wire immediately flows into the ground wire, to the panel, and trips the breaker.

[@AAABeatbox]

re: insurance, you can individually schedule gear on an "inland marine" policy as an adjunct to your renter's/homeowner's insurance. That type of policy is designed for "I have this expensive thing that doesn't fit the regular policy," and musical instruments even have an extra form you can buy that insures it if you use it for gigs.

[@jodywhite1971]

To comment about Expensive Digital Cables Being Worth It, I've had USB, Firewire, and Thunderbolt cables be the culprit for malfunctions. Some of them are so coy, that they'd only produce the problem about once in a 30 minute span. Only by switching out every component could I blame it on the cable. They DO go bad sometimes. I've had some experience to know that brand name cables of at least medium build tend to fail less. Trust me, change out your digital cable before you send your interface for repair.

Before sampling was a thing the rule used to be 10s or 4 bars max whichever of those comes first (In the Netherlands at least)... In the '80 they changed it.. That's where the misconception comes from... Ground loop -> DI box with ground lift. Also helps with getting shocks from your mic while holding a guitar...

alternative sound panels for dampening: I recommend getting panels made out of Basotect ... There should be some honest vendors out there who do not mark up and scalp these products to crazy prices... It is melamine-formaldehyde condensation resin foam and in ways designed by the company BASF to have sound-dampening characteristics and it does NOT cost an arm and a leg, despite many vendors telling you otherwise. A panel of this size ~39"x20"x2,8" (1000mmx500mmx30mm) is around 25euro and you should be able to get corner parts as bass traps as well for maybe 40-50... of course it is dampening and not soundproofing.

Ground loops are not necessary an issue with the 120v side of power distribution. Loops can also come from the low voltage side of a power supplys that's built into hardware. Basically two power supplies are not playing nice with one another and power is trying to move from one source to another.... They make ground lift boxes and transformer isolation boxes to prevent this type of interference.

[@jonanon8193]

Comments from an Electronics Engineer- Leaving electronics on causes earlier death of electrolytic capacitors in power supplies - since they are converting AC to DC they charge during the AC peak and discharge the other time - that ages them. If it is designed well (which is not necessarily anything to do with price) they could live longer than you or I. In PC power supplies though they skimp like crazy which is why you need to buy a new PC PSU every few years but not with audio gear. Earth loops - ethernet is transformer isolated and will not contribute to earth loops. The shielding on RCA cables does. The loops are made from a continous earth connection between devices via main power earth and signal RCA cable earths. Note you only need to connect two mains powered devices via 1 RCA cable and you have an earth loop. Any wire carrying AC current that passes through this loop forms a transformer and transforms it's voltage into the RCA cables shield and power cable earth which then is effectively added to the signal in the RCA cable. So do that powerboard trick, but also watch the path each cable takes to avoid loops. NOTE this is entirely separate to the no-earth problem which is where you need to fix your houses earth connection, both yield the hum.

[@JamieMallender]

[@anileated]

First answer seems to forget a major caveat: it is legal to sample someone else’s music without a license, and copyright infringement cannot technically even happen, *if the work is in public domain*. Which even copyrighted music automatically becomes, though many years later. Be careful though, laws can be obscure and vary by country.

[@Taschenschieber]

Important thing here is that, even if a *song* (like Beethoven's Fifth) is in public domain, *recordings* of that song can still be under copyright., and most of the recordings you can buy on CD or find on KZbin *are* under copyright. Under US law, copyright takes significantly over 50 years to expire, so the things you *can* legally sample will probably mostly be stuff that was originally recorded on shellac records or very early vinyls, with all the quality issues that period had.

[@synthshoot1026]

16:15 I think even if you connect every thing to one power strip you can still get ground loops because the other connections like USB, Audio, etc between your gear will enable/close the loop.

[@SqueeDee]

Star grounds (one strip) shorten the loop, shorter paths also help, and I use a good USB hub for all my gear near the gear, run to my PC. The noise is introduced on the differential between multiple grounds, so you can also run heavier ground wires with a better guage than your USB cables have. And like Ben said, move cables away from AC (and cross signal and power paths at right angles)
