Hi Kyle. First of all, congrats with more than 221k subscribers! Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Whether I already know about specific topics or just want to learn something extra. I also watch the videos to support you, Kyle. If you ask me, anyone in this business deserves support from each other, regardless what position a musician is at a specific moment in time. Keep up making awesome videos. Stay safe and healthy! 😊

[@jimwar1890]

Based on previous comment, I’m very much the exception to your audience. Absolute neophyte to recording although I have now purchased all of the components listed, most, coincidentally, the exact same brand. Very, very much enjoyed this video and if it’s in the context of your focus, would appreciate learning how to interface the Akai keyboard controller to the DAW. I found the Akai instructions (and customer support) severely lacking. Thanks for you insight and channel. Great info!!

[@westonpenninger169]

People often forget/ overlook the importance of dedicated solid state or hard drives to help take the load off the computer running the DAW and recording/ processing audio at the same time, as well as power conditioners (similar to surge protectors) that'll help cut out the noise produced by electricity itself, and protect from your system shutting down entirely in the off chance of a power outage so that you can not only save your gear, but also save your work. Both very important components for home studios in my opinion.

[@Merlincat007]

Mixer-interfaces are worth consideration! Like the Flow8 and the Tascam Model 12 (and 16 and 24) which can interface all channels at once (not just two like many similar mixers) are also very worth considering! He's got a Model 12 on his desk there. The Flow8 definitely has the best value though

[@AudioUniversity]

Thanks, Sunbird Falls Music! I agree - if you want something that helps tie various audio sources and destinations together AND acts as an audio interface, a USB mixer like my Model 12 is a good choice.

Sir, I am beginning. I want to record my written poetry professionally. In which my line will go in high tone and will also come in low tone. Tell me such mic and audio interface. So that I can record and mix later. But my room is not sound proof. My total budget is $300. A shopkeeper told me that you cannot do recording with dynamic mic. Please tell me what should I do. Which mic and audio interface should I buy? After buying which I do not regret.

Just remember the most important thing in your studio is you. Writing > Performance > Gear choice > Recording > Mix > Master > Song If any of those are lacking, the rest following it will be garbage, and it all starts with you

I'm currently using a V8 soundcard set for recording on soundtrap but whenever I sing high notes the audio starts to crackle. I did some research online and they said smt about keeping it at 24bit depth but I have no clue what that is 😢. Help do I need to change a soundcard or a better mic or smt 😭

[@AudioUniversity]

Make sure your input level is set correctly. If the meter in the software reaches 0 dBFS it will be distorted. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inSleayph7tnrNUsi=9ntT5uHFu2j68n4s

Yes. An audio interface can be used to record singing also. You will need a microphone and an audio interface. Alternatively, you can use a USB microphone.

[@stalwartzero7001]

I think it’s important to note that your monitors are rear ported and should be on a slant because you’re bouncing said wave off the wall back in to your own face. The AX7 and their higher (staple) models are front ported so it wouldn’t matter. Slanted monitor pads and some acoustic paneling or a sound blanket would be huge. Also, an SM57 with a tube preamp arguably sounds better than a $200 akg condenser with focusrite “preamps”. You’re really buying a sound card with an interface and not preamps. You’re also showcasing DT770s which last time I bought were $230 bucks. For a $100 the Sennheiser HD280s are a steal and workhorses but Sony MDR7506 I think have a better all around sound with warmer bass, both of which beat out equivalent AKG headphones. The DT770s are good for mixing, master, and low level recording like vocals or acoustic. They aren’t isolating enough for rock drums or loud electric guitar. The HD280s are best for loud drums and guitar, the best for all trades for 100. Sony would be better for beat making and production. The DT770s are when you already have some cans. I’m saying this because you’re showing $250 headphones but an $80 keyboard. I’d say skip the MPK mini and just buy a used MPK 249 as everything about it is better including the velocity which will save you a lot of time in post. Also the DT770s NEED a headphone preamp and the Scarlett gives it just enough to work but plugging them in your laptop or phone is damaging to the speakers in the headphones as the preamp it’s powerful enough and using an under powering preamp is more damaging then an over powered preamp at lower volume

[@jeremiahstraker1523]

Kia Ora Kyle & all those that read and reply to comments. First time studio setup here. Trying to pick the best single mic for bass, amp cabs (bass and guitar), acoustic instruments and haha possibly singing. What are your thoughts about the Shure SM7B ? I know that you recommended the two and or one or the other. Thoughts?? Bye for now.

[@AudioUniversity]

I think the SM7B would work well for everything you’ve listed, except acoustic guitar. I’d lean more toward a more sensitive microphone for acoustic instruments.

[@lilman6484]

Any big differences between Apple & dell?

[@kamalpalsingh9856]

Bro pls make a video on mic preamp why I need that I already have 2i2 , but i chat with some people and they suggest me try it

There are 2 mic preamps built-in to the 2i2. External mic preamps just offer a variety of tone and perhaps more power.

Trying to set up my USB mixer (mackiev10).. laptop/monitors/Mixer... Usb > Mixer > Laptop. XLR MIxer > Monitors... Settings laptop (Pro FX). All setup within Ableton. Meters in Ableton moving. I get no sound out of monitors... I get sound when i DJ, cuz conected RCA/XLR to line 5/6.. Get sound from DAW when using phones. But when trying to use monitors with DAW it wont make a sound... Im guessing i need a cable from USBMixer > Laptop.. i have a 3.5 > 3.5 (Line 9/10).. That one might work but then i need to change setting in laptop to Headphones. And while im at it.. When i use my Launchkey mini/Laptop/Headphones its so much latency so i cant play correct, is there a fix for that? (cant change it within Ableton).
