Does the basic package include a looper, with or without a foot pedal? Also, is there afoot pedal volume control? I’m 75 years old and your sharing this information, in this way, takes the fog away from recording and helps me understand. I will get one of these setups thanks to you. Thank you for your dedication to learning. Your sharing and educational format brighten my day. Continued success in your endeavors. Mike Collins

Finally. I’ve been wondering how to get started and had so many questions on what I need.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Amazing to see guests appear more and more here. Guitar and music related content on new scales I believe! Cheers

[@MartyMusic]

More to come!

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@MartyMusic awesome!

[@Frank-pe9pk]

Wish we had that back in my days. We just had reel to reel and tube amps with a few effect pedals.

[@Fl_Broccodile]

Seriously

[@Jeff_HellensBridge]

You can have it now. Today is your days

[@BigBlueRabbit]

This was great! Answered so many questions I had. Thanks a million. Really like Mr Huff too - will definitely subscribe to his channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MartyMusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@guitarthur.]

Well, this is going to change my life !! Thank you sooo much for this video Marty ! And thank you Bobby for explaining everything to us !!

[@KUBAISTHEMAN]

This is gonna help me a lot thx marty

[@joshnorko5586]

I dig it

[@MashaT22]

Please do a video for recording with our mobile phones only! Some people can’t afford a computer. Others want to be able to record and perform on the go. Please tell us about interface options for iPhone, apps, and how to use them to record both audio and video with a single phone. Please do this for both acoustic and electric. It would be extremely useful. Thanks! I would love to know how to connect everything in a way where I can hear music playing from my phone while I play guitar, record my guitar, and screengrab/record the audio/screen and/or record me on video on my phone. It would be useful for practicing and listening/watching back why’s I’m doing. I can’t figure how to connect my speakers, interface, guitar, and use apps all at once. There’s gotta be a way. Tyvm!

[@stephendavis5530]

I have the free DAW Audacity and I can make halfway decent tunes with it. I have created about 2 instrumentals and one original song with it. Sure.....it's very basic and you're not going to get high-end quality with it, but you can make stuff sound surprisingly good with it. Plus its free...that suits my level of spending. 😎🎸🎸

[@BAZANAUSA]

The video I needed right now

[@adisondass4655]

Marty please do November rain. I really love that song and I want to learn really badly. I wanted to learn it for 5 months and couldn't find a good video for it. Please make one.

[@BlazeGuitarLessons]

Super cool video that I never would've thought of! Really useful

[@MartyMusic]

Glad you liked it!!

[@scottakam]

Great info for beginners. The only thing to add is room treatment. If your acoustic recordings sound bad, it's either you or the room your in. I think a lot of beginners don't appreciate the impact the room has on recording and end up being too hard on themselves. I know I fell into that trap.

[@edtorres5796]

Is there any videos on this topic? Or channels that talk about this in depth?

[@scottakam]

@@edtorres5796 Check out Home Studio Corner or Produce Like a Pro. They both have KZbin channels and websites. Bobby Huff's channel is also good but maybe not aimed at beginners.

[@emilelesaffre]

Another DAW that’s really great FOR FREE is Cakewalk. You can do anything with it. Sadly will become paid again, but is still free until the end of development for paid version.

[@coyotecreekblues6935]

Thank you Marty for putting this video out. It was really helpful, especially the part on the gear needed to make a good recording.

[@TheRyan6610]

Please do Hold On Loosely by 38 Special (w/solo)!!!!! Pleaseee

[@KunshGuitar]

Bro epic

[@edtorres5796]

Hey Mar-tay!!! Great vid!! I started building my home studio a couple months ago. Im using my iPad with GarageBand, a focusrite scarlett, an mpk midi controller, and an mxl 990 microphone with a boom stand. Its been so much fun recording music, i been having a blast!! I still want to add monitors and eventually upgrade to Logic with a MacBook. 🤞

[@1sylvan1]

Good stuff, exactly what I’m looking to do with my playing. Thanks!!

[@MartyMusic]

Have fun!

[@jcburger733]

Hey Marty and Bobby, thank you for the Best Beginner Home Studio Setup Video. Some great info!!

[@joeydiego490]

This was so helpfull and what a guy thnx Marty and Bobby

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Bobby Huff is AWESOME!!!

[@YanHere]

Hello! I recently got a bass guitar and really want to learn the song “I love you so” by the Walters. Could you do a lesson on it? Thank you for making so much free content.

[@josiahhilmers2315]

YES!!!! Plz I too really like this song so if you could do this song on bass i would love it. Thanks for uploading all your tutorials.

[@Patrick-kz5xx]

Love this video!

[@chiparooo]

Cool! Subbed to Bobby's channel. Thanks for sharing!

[@brentcarey6637]

I just plugged my Boss Katana into the computer and use Audacity software to record. easy and free.

[@robharris6874]

Good down to earth info !

[@cirisirpula152]

Studio one artist is included with some cheap hardware, so if you buy for example Presonus atom pad, you get a free studio one artist.

[@fawkesandhound]

Studio One is great. Got it with an interface and used it all the time

[@cirisirpula152]

@@fawkesandhound it is! I paid 130e for atom and got the artist version. I would recommend to buy atom or presonus interface and get the artist that way rather than spending 100e for only the software.

[@ryderl3988]

Love Bobby, great stuff. I use Mixcraft Pro 10

[@splashesin8]

:) I need all my stuff hooked back up since having to move. Some of my old interface cables got messed up. Plus I need to surgically replace my cmos battery in one of my old desktops that had the best sound mixing. I used to keep everything ready to record all the time, and was using Goldwave, which was just right for me, and screenreader accessible with both JAWS for windows and GW Micro Window Eyes. I need to chain it all together with my newer laptop, but keeping the internet only on the secure versions of Windows, and iOS. I also would like to integrate my really old Power Mac with the demo of Outspoken for Mac on it. It didn't have a ton of space on it but I could do some fun sound stuff on it, and could handle both types of files. I need to migrate stuff from all my old computers to the newest laptop. Particularly all my music stuff. Feels like I've been living in a storage room situation where you can't get much out since 2015. My acoustic guitar and this channel and a few others have been saving my life both mentally and physically (keeping me physically moving through the days, walking down the street, etc, far better than I would be without music). Basically it's always been about music, and putting it together with other people, every which way possible. I'm just in rudimentary portable mode right now. Sometimes there's just a pitch pipe, or a bus stop pole, or a pop bottle if there isn't a pitch pipe. There's still a handheld tape recorder, and a few high bias tapes. I would like to go ahead and try Reaper. I know there are scripts for using it with some screen-readers. Just another few hours of learning curve.

[@youraverageeverydayhuman6761]

Can you please do a tutorial on 4th of july by wild pink

[@nickgassman2909]

This talks about Ampire and Guitar Rig 6 - they do similar things, you don't need both.

[@SomethingvagueNM]

Marty, could you link to the products that Bobby discusses in the video? Thank you!

[@jaimee-hernandez2847]

You mentioned, a computer with Horse power. What are those numbers I need to know in order to get a Mac book pro ( that's what I plan on getting) that will get the job done.

[@1sylvan1]

Hi Marty! Do you or Bobby have any thoughts / experience using the Riff guitar interface by Positive Grid? Thanks!

[@rosalindakay2652]

Hi

[@rosalindakay2652]

Hi, can you teach Mojo Boogie by Johnny Winter? I’m a big fan.😃🎸🎸

[@birdsnest69]

❤

[@Chasing__birds]

Hiya long time fan of yours from the other side of the pond. I know you get a million requests every day for your lessons,but I'm hoping you could possibly help me with a very special request. I'm getting married on the 29th July and my other half is a massive Mission fan. I would like to attempt to play and sing their song Tower of Strength with the help of my 2 sons and best friend. My son's are 15 and 21 both beginners on guitar and bass. Although they definitely kick my ass 🤣. I'm hoping to perform the song in front of family and friends at our reception. To say I'm bricking it is an understatement , but I'm going to try and pull it off. Marty would or could you possibly help me with this very special song. With the most utter respect and best wishes Carl. PS the other half (Hilary) is a Goth 🦇

[@mazexuif911]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to play. Whenever I may roam by metallica,🥺please

[@lovethislife7257]

Hey marty can you make a problem child by ac/dc guitar lesson

[@coyotecreekblues6935]

Did I hear Bobby say he makes a 2300 track song??? For real or was he just joking? I can't even imagine working with that many tracks!

[@dawsonic-pickups]

If you buy a presonus audio interface you get studio one artist included.

[@Argyle2008]

Please can you do a Lady Gaga ‘Hold my Hand’ lesson (Top Gun:Maverick) (and solo if possible please) for my mum

I always hear people speak “NUENDO” as “new-endo”, but I always thought it was spoken “N-you-endo”. Like “innuendo”.

[@timjoseph887]

$599 just for the Daw, is there a least expensive video?

[@thetrashman8818]

Hey Marty can you do me a huge favor and do a cover on that's all right mama by Elvis
