Im seeing this alot maybe we ll make it happen just keep sharing it!

Recording is important, mixing is paramount

[@user-mz3ni8yu4v]

If it sounds bad going in, it’s gonna sound bad going out so in a way yes

[@HelpMeDevvon]

I agree i think a better recording will contribute to a better mix!

[@FTMSimba]

You know its gonna be a good podcast when Devon says "let me start this podcast "

[@AMEN379]

I'm a pro tools and an FL user I use FL just for beats and protools for vocals and mixing.... To me protools makes me understand music more based off of that fact... I love FL for the work flow as it relates to making beats it's just easier and it allows for more creativity to me.... But as devvon said it all ends up in protools 😁😁😁

[@davidwoodward700]

this podcast is put together clean yo. y'all are hilarious too. great content. thank you

[@TheHM1982]

I used Pro Tools cause when you walk in the studio that's what the artist like to see. They respect it. But once they leave I dump the project into Studio One. That's just me. It just feels better without that crazy price to maintain. But the last time I was on Protools was Protools10

[@dan_tanna]

Drake's Producer 40 uses Ableton as well. Great video Bros!

[@NewJourney]

A good production/producer and good song goes much further than “bad” recordings Obviously a bad record limits mixing but it all starts with production and song IMHO The listener doesn’t care about the mix if the tracks🔥🔥

[@shansondeshinkolo817]

In the beginning they so into the conversation they probably forgot what the main topic really is😂😂

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Nah we remembered we just like to find a groove and be natural in the beginning lol

[@joshcoxmusic]

Analog obsession is another plugin company that's super underrated! It's all free plugins and can beat out almost ALL other analog based plugins

[@DynastyOnTheMix]

I actually agree a lot with LJ this episode.

[@realtimestudiosgh3887]

Love you guys men straight from Ghana 🇬🇭

[@iamloganwoods]

These videos literally make me so happy.

[@raingodmusic]

i love how you rock the casio calculator. i've been fl boys since fl08

[@DynastyOnTheMix]

@helpmedevvon you can zoom in and out from the mouse and holding option and scrolling up or down (using the track pad sucks). You can also set your settings to jump to transients from hitting tab in protools and it’s precise. Just throwing that out there 12:22

[@bayboymusic1]

A Good question for another episode is if your least favorite DAW bought Fab filter and made it stock plugins. Would you switch DAW’s ?

[@7rebo-online]

lol the FL Dancer cracked them heads I couldn't stop loughing

[@RobinZV1]

PT gang chillin’ surveying the kingdom

[@RobinZV1]

i even use a few. Logic, Cubase, S1 Pro (don’t sleep on it for production), and LUNA (the extensions are so killer and it’s now my go to for mixing…) and PT is still on top because it’s all around killer. i still compose in PT, too.

[@lashonbrownjr]

I’m tired of y’all leaving Studio One out the conversation! Lol. WE ARE THE BEST DAW! 💯

[@kingstondread7064]

I,ve done 2 charting songs exclusively on studio one. Start to master. We use Studio one and Logic. We do however keep PT for older clients who come with tracks or stems

[@lashonbrownjr]

It’s such a great DAW!! At the same time I make sure I keep up with others softwares to make sure I can work in every situation. With that said, STUDIO ONE ALL DAY!!

[@Livewirebeatz]

That Blue Kiwi Mic was the truth!

[@IAMAKEIA]

Devon definitely got a point about pro tools!!

[@shilohk5898]

This my new favorite podcast‼️yall speaking facts

[@rapgentry]

Super dope, looking forward to seeing the channel grow...

[@dukehbeatz]

Alt or option and mouse scroll wheel can zoom in and out in pro Tools

[@kazzd58]

Y’all got something with this !! Dope!

[@alyoshasdream8843]

I think it really can depend on the genre. I think rock music really needs a high quality recording engineer or else its impossible to get a great mix. As you all said, to mic up drums is no easy feat, and it can lead to some really shitty recordings if done wrong. Also a bass guitar coming in way too hot due to poor recording practices will be a nightmare to mix.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Micing drums is no joke. I think that skill set is very underrated

[@mwishobeatz4794]

[@DRETD2124]

Everybody likes the Sun's??? I love these episodes!

[@xaevyxae9624]

Can ya’ll get feature other engineers who are for logic. And I think some attention to the daw Reason would be awesome! Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve seen some amazing stuff be created very very quickly. Like super impressed.. And the sound and effect seemed like something you couldn’t get anywhere else.

[@sovereignidiot]

Protools is 👌 Wow that new mbox is low-key 🔥

[@dukehbeatz]

I have two Screens so id get rid of the switch window function and keep the zoom function

[@needknotrecords]

I started off using FL3 Then went to reason and pro tools 7. for vocals and mixing. after pc. I switch to logic for beats and pro for vocals and mixing top notch.

[@flythakidd]

Fl studio has been around 20 plus Years. And I love yall btw. And I wish I could work wit yall. I love fl studio for beats and recording but pro tools and studio 1 for vocals

[@stuartnickolas503]

all you have to do is hover your mouse over the bar counter in FL studio and scroll up or down to zoom in or out....

[@4Mullah]

Big up Avid

[@ShotByTWade]

8:17 felt that 😂😂

[@racso415]

If you walk into a studio and see FL.... RUN! 😂 This one hurt but was funny

[@SpacedOutDoonie]

FL Studio has some of the best and most revolutionary functions across all programs (not just daws but even better than microsoft windows). For example ctrl+scroll wheel to zoom in where ever your mouse cursor is at (GOAT). Ctrl+right click to zoom in/out full. Window drag and snap. Shift+left click to rename. Ctrl+b/ctrl+c/ctrl+v to duplicate without highlighting what you wanna duplicate. Right click on menu options to enable and keep menu options window still open (GOAT). Those are just some that I can think of off the top of my head.

[@Par1s]

MXL is Sac Kings because everyone be hating but they still bring in like 10m a year.

[@superdopesamples]

Those NBA comparisons were funny 😂 I do want to get an Aston Spirit for my next mic.

[@mauricerios4743]

Bryson Tiller records his vocals on FL

[@kobbyampofo]

There’s actually a settings file where u can enable that mixer rack that u see in pro tools and fl studio in ableton as well

[@melchisedekj]

audio nerds needs to be a separate KZbin channel. makes it easier to find.

[@4Mullah]

Protools over here

[@ivansandre8340]

What about the lewit mic line, they are new and kicking.

[@Jlagenii]

I didn’t even watch the video yet. The answer is YES

[@-V_O-]

FL Studio looks like Tetris, the old one.

[@JTAITSINGER]

I think there’s more room for a bad recording to be fixed by the mix than there is for a bad mix to be fixed by the master.

[@dukehbeatz]

I think recording is more important, some of the best mixes are a result of good recording

[@thestreetdisciple3955]

RODE IS OKC I WAS WAITING FOR YALL TO SAY IT LOL

[@JTAITSINGER]

ProTools over here! But I mess with everything else too.

[@chemdrum]

Again, Pro Tools all day!! Lol but it's always gonna depend on what you're using a DAW for. At the end of the day, if you wanna mix your beats/record, Pro Tools is most likely where it's gonna land. Any major studio is more than likely gonna have Pro Tools in it 9 times out of 10. Most importantly, if you aspire to work with the big artists, producers, and engineers, like Devvon said, it's definitely advantageous to know Pro Tools. Again, right now, I'm killing it in Logic so its not impossible to use any other DAW lol

[@HelpMeDevvon]

I preach this sentiment all the time!

Obviously there is nothing to mix if there isn't a record vocal or instrument but without a quality recorded sound source than mixing is rough but with a quality recording the mixing is better!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

It definitely makes the mix harder with a bad recording!

[@DynastyOnTheMix]

A state of the art studio won’t have outside noise coming into the studio 😅😂😂😂😂 thus the title “state of the art” meaning it is top of the line from structure of the building to equipment. I worked out of a state of the art studio and we were on a busy street and had a car accident happen 10 ft away from the main window and we still did not hear that or the sirens from the fire trucks for it. Have you ever really been in a state of the art facility? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Real engineers get raw vocals all the time n are asked to melodyne the vocals because they trust our ear if they hear our catalog of work. Stop promoting lazy engineering 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DynastyOnTheMix]

🤦🏻‍♂️ the Shure beta 58 is actually way better than both the mics you guys named on kick drums lmao come onnnnnnnnnnnn 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

[@benjaminkaufman5484]

Repeatedly hearing slight cases of fomo from non-logic users is lowkey funny bc y'all don't know what we had to go through. The craziest default settings all over the place you'll have to google to track them down and change them so you're even just somewhat able to go on about your day. "Snap regions to relative" vs absolute value for example etc etc. Like I'll always be at least little bit traumatized
