Please can I have Ur contact?I found Ur video interesting and I want to learn more from you,I also have some of these equipment at home but truly need a mentor,thanks

[@johb6156]

Hi taetro i hope you will replyy so i was avle to buy all the equipment that i need already i play 4 music instruments but im really not technologically inclined So i bought a macbook and oxygen 49 midi keyboard and i have a line 6 ux2audio interface I play drums keybkard and guitars but i only want to record using ny midi kieyboard and logic pro My question is do i need an audio interface to use my midi keyboard or do i just connect the midi keyboard straight to the macbook w/ usb c to a cable and no need for audio interface?

Big time

[@caioaugusto6819]

I'm 27, play guitar for 15 years, but just got tired of playing covers and having to deal with band shenanigans, and the lack of people to play with where I live, so took out the Ableton minilab mk2 I got gathering dust for years and am starting to write, and what fun it's being. Just the part of the frustration, and the joy of getting something I was struggling to be like I want is being amazing, and this is being a very helpful video, thank you

[@kmstirpitz4285]

I think it is great that people are beginning to make music with what they have. A lot of people get pushed away from even trying to make music in the first place because they feel like they need expensive gear that they can't afford though these days, it is far from true.

[@Taetro]

true!!!

[@bplain80]

The real key here is to make sure you know how to play an instrument. I bought all this stuff then realized I couldn't play a single note hahahaha

[@thedanalcantara]

Hahahaha, this caught me off guard

[@blackpalacemusic]

You don't have to know how to play, but you should have a basic understanding of music.

You are not alone! The gear shows up and people go...oh wait....I need to make the music now?!?

Just a quick line from a grateful parent for this fantastic video, especially the explanation at the end about the relative order in which to acquire equipment.

@djmayomane Sorry it took me so long to respond. Yes, it works, but, it's a bit complicated. I'm not giving up.

[@andrewpareo8047]

One thing I have to say is don't always rush forward just because you have or got higher end equipment. Like when i got my MIDI controller (which happen to be an Arturia Minilab 3) it also came with higher end software like Ableton Live. But when I ended up actually trying to make a full track i gave up and went back to BandLab cause it was easier and didnt have to use as many externals.

[@djmayomane]

its just tools i think you just got used to it i think using daws you know is always better

[@dhsiren]

This video was extremely helpful, especially since I wasn't sure what to purchase for my setup as far as what was essential and what wasn't. This really explained what everything is meant for and how to build your setup based on how you produce. Since I won't be using any live instruments yet, I can build my gear accordingly. Thanks a ton for your tutorials and for this information!!

[@LakeEffectLull]

I started out and am still operating cheap. I use my iPhone 13 with GarageBand, headphones and a korg nano keys 2. Only cost me about $80 for the korg, headphones, and usb adapter. I love your philosophy of getting your music out there and not letting the pursuit of perfection kill it. Keep up the great videos.

8:55 Make sure you get EarPods and not AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones. Bluetooth headphones won’t work well for monitoring while overdubbing parts due to latency.

[@thermaljake6289]

Does it matter if I get the Aux or USB-C version? I've found the USB-C version for slightly cheaper, and I can make it work.

[@r0bophonic]

What device are you connecting to? I haven’t tried USB-C headphones but I would expect any wired headphones should have low enough latency for audio production.

​​@@thermaljake6289You're safe mate like r0bo said, any wired headphones will suffice. Be it aux, usb-c, etc...

[@stav1919]

I love this! I have been holding off getting back into writing music for so many reasons (Dad of 2 boys, executive corporate job, insert other excuses here). I wrote music at a time when everything was analog - guitar, piano, cassette - just gave away my age right there. While I am versed with today's tech (PS5, ipad pros) i didn't know where to start - until today. I have an ipad pro, i have a kawaii digital grand piano, but will get a midi controller (eyeing akai based off of this video) and will just ket the music flow. Thank you!

[@BJ-fj6jw]

[@by_antony]

I loved your comment 'fight off the perfectionism' which put it so succintly for me! I started off with music production about 2 years ago with a windows laptop, akai mpk mini 3 and audio technica ath m30x headphones. I didn't start to record guitar and vox til later. Taetro, I don't much like listening to 'lofi' music, but I like making to it. You are awe-inspiring.

[@MrTurnerNVA]

Dude, your vids are not only very informative and relatable, but you seem like a truly genuine person. That's very rare in these times. So, cheers to you, my man. Peace and love from VA.

[@kaywoodparsons5307]

great starter and also a great daily recording setup mate. really thats all you need if your not producing for bands etc... One addition I would add there is a powered USB hub. Also will fix that midi keyboard from stopping.

[@aallan8830]

I'm here because I don't know much about this tech and I want to learn but it's heartening to hear someone as young as you talking about how they are "blessed" to have what so many others do not. I think your generation is so much better than what those from mine give credit for. Every generation faces it's challenges, and certainly affordable housing is yours, but what I see from so many your age is a very healthy 30,000ft perspective.

My first setup for music production was a refurbished iMac with GarageBand installed, a MIDI keyboard, headphones, speakers.

[@Taetro]

a more than capable setup!!

[@shnflzrd8004]

Video's good. If there's one thing I'd tell myself when I was just starting out is 'it's okay to be frustrated, if you don't get the sound you like. Just start with whatever you can, but practicing everyday would really get you far. I promise. Stick with what you're familiar with. Always fix the issue with what's feels like lacking, improve it day by day and then BAM, you wono't realize you're already there. I stand by using iPad but please, if you can- choose a software and master it.

[@liamkennedy5702]

btw guys u don't need any music experience for production whatsoever. just get a free trial from FL studio and start drawing in melodies and watching tutorial videos, i don't know chords at all yet i still make great beats (to me at least) the main thing for me i've found is simply using sounds i like. easy. . .

[@MrBrandonLau]

Logic Pro on iPad is pretty amazing I recommend this setup too

[@Eight-Bit-Hustler]

I agree but one thing I notice everyone leaves out of the bare bones setup videos is a designated storage device. I’d definitely recommend either an external drive/ USB drive , etc… for keeping projects safe or a paid online cloud storage account… (ideally both!) although your computer tablet or phone has storage things happen! it’s always best practice to have a backup plan not to mention something you can bring with you or load up that’s secure for traveling and colabs! Aside from that I’m with you 100%

[@Health4performance]

Great point. Microsoft 365 is $6.99 a month and has OneDrive app which is great for storage! Or google drive which is free.

[@nickperez1312]

This was an excellent video! My son asked for the Akai MPK mini and I was like “I’m sure you need more than that to get started”. This video was a lot of help. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video!

[@zmmmzmmmz]

I've rewatched this a couple of timed and like how you explain things, one thing I'm having trouble learning online is what you would pick up quickly in person - the physical layout and space, cable types are purposes, furniture and stands to grow into

If owning only a pc or laptop there is a lot one can do also just playing around in ableton and with the free samples one can install which comes free with the program. Think they even offer the full program for free to try over 3 months with saving & rendering. With passion and creativity there will always be a way for the music to flow & the love for the craft is the limit, where one can always love deeper. 💜 take good care and let the caged bird fly.

[@singergregrobinson9968]

Bro you alright dude need more people like you bro keep it going bro

[@partymarty6969]

starting with an iOS device is solid advice. just be sure to get a dongle that has usb, charge, and headphone out. and make sure the midi controller you choose has lots of reviews or videos showing it hooked up to an iOS device. you’ll want some wired headphones and a power bank for your iOS device for longer use on the go as well. PRO TIP: connect a powered USB hub to your iOS device using the USB, charge, headphone out dongle. this will open up so much hardware for iOS device. It’s truly a game changer. just be sure to pick up a laptop power bank for longer use when on the go.

[@MetalBansheeX]

why iOS specifically? :o

[@sold9948]

I’ll do you one better. Just the iPad. The iPad has a very good touchscreen, so you can play piano on it. The iPad actually has a pretty good microphone, so you can sing into it. The iPad has a USB-C port, so if you want to plug in a better microphone, or even a piano into it, you would be totally able to do so. I make music on my iPad using Logic Pro for iPad, and it has not limited me at all to not have a keyboard. I do have a microphone, though; that is a good choice. To use a microphone, headphones are also extremely important. Have a good one.

yes and including all the essentials on a budget! Thanks for watching

[@jambononi]

I'm not a professional but I naturally have some high end equipment due to being a videographer. But for a while I just recorded onto an iPad, garage band, using the built in mic. Was it good enough to release? No. But it's a great way to practice composition and layering etc. so it's good just to start. If you can make an interesting song with just that. Then imagine when you get the good equipment. So just start.

[@danielogilvie3079]

I grew up drumming and and singing in bands and I am just beginning my home production journey... Here is my beginners gear, I have a solid computer to run albleton, a focusrite 2i2 audio interface (studio) that came with a mic and headphones and I am picking up an Akai mpk 3 mini tomorrow. I bought everything secondhand from fb marketplace which has saved me a lot. I am keen to make short trip hop, house and groove tracks to use on video shorts to accompany my art. My next purchace, once I save some more, will be an electronic drum kit and other percussion gear.

[@CTA_Official]

Me personally, I do see the Arturia minifuse as a good interface, but the M-Audio M-Track Duo is a budget-friendly alternative, for headphones, the Samson SR850 headphones are superb for music, the iPad mini is probably the best device you can use for dedicated music on a budget, mic-wise, a Shure SM57 or SM58 would be great for you if you're doing vocals, instruments, or both

[@pkbreeze08]

As someone starting out, I was introduced the M-Audio products as they are very budget friendly. I picked up an M-Track Solo Interface (although they have a Duo version for multiple instrument input) as well as a Axiom Air 32 Mini, which has 32 keys, dials and pad bank (only thing missing is an input for a sustain pedal, although it has a toggle switch for this). I presently don't record vocal (too shy about my voice to record it) and record guitar by input rather than mic'd up, but I would look to get a mic next I think. I bought a cheap pair of Roland headphones which I think come with their keyboards. All of this cost me less than £100. I do own a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro, so I take advantage of Garage Band as my DAW, but having seen your recommendation for Band Lab, I might give that a go.

[@kiranjeganathan3443]

*You’ll see KZbin videos or comments knocking bedroom producers but in today’s world…. it makes no sense to pay for a pro studio to make an album. Your income won’t support it. This was a great video! Another thing too is you don’t have to produce an album to make money. You can create music for others to use as background music in their videos or commercials. 🎹🏆⚔️🦅 Having a bedroom studio keeps the option open for you to have a hobby that pays for itself.*

[@bicrome]

im 15 yo and i started making music (shit music back then) when i was 12. i connected my digital piano with usb midi to my laptop and used lmms. no audio interface (i had some really bad latency) i have a friend that got started recently and he got a cheap 32 key midi controller and now an audio interface if i was starting now i'd get a midi controller with at least 1 knob and some pads and thats it. then an audio interface like the maudio mtrack solo and a cheap sm57 copy from thomman or behringer (i have one and works great) for me the limitations make you more creative, and when you master what you have then you are ready to upgrade your gear

@@kevinsavage7322 you don't need to do that. I'm 99% sure that your midi keyboard will ave a USB conector. Conect it to your computer using usb, and then your sistem will recognize it and it will work fine. Conect your interface via USB too, and in your music software select it for the Input and Output (use Asio if you can, sear Asio4All). What software are you using?

[@surfing3280]

I saw a comment that said make sure you know how to play an instrument lol. For me it’s the opposite I’m musically gifted but financially challenged 😂

[@plexq]

Get the MPK mini plus instead as it has transport controls and a real mod wheel which is critical, and it's only slightly more. The ATH m50x headphones are a studio standard worldwide, I wouldn't say they are that basic, and I'd agree that they really are the right entry point for headphones. You can't fix what you can't hear and they have a pretty good faithful reproduction. They're also specifically a good choice because you can wear them for 8 hours without your ears getting sore. You can skip the Audio interface just by getting a USB mic like the m-Audio one unless you need to record instruments direct in like synths. And even then, for starting out, the line in isn't that bad. I even have tracks where somebody used the onboard mic on a pair of AirPods and with a little audio processing, once it's layered in - you can barely tell. If you have a fancy juicy Mogue synth, sure you want ever curve of that delicious analogue smoosh, but then you're not just starting out so... I'm not so sanguine about the software choice. I haven't had the best experiencing with editing software on a touch surface system personally. That might be the place I plunk down some cash an just get Logic Pro. Being able to effectively manipulate audio and midi really makes a massive difference in your ability to develop a fast smooth workflow which is crucial for an enjoyable experiencing making music. When things get in your way, it starts to degrade the vision you have in your head on how the song should hear, and you start thinking about annoying software instead, and you loose what you have in your mind's eye which can be frustrating.

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

add a powered usb hub then you can run both your audio interface (adi) and a separate usb mic at the same time. This allows you to maximise the possibilities with a single input adi like the ID4 and similar devices. However, the gain noise will be an issue. If you are just starting out in music and instruments, get a two input adi for more versatility. IF you are ONLY interested in VO then a single input adi is ALL that you need. Don't waste money on extra features you'll never use.

Pretty good but be careful with the mpk mini.

The keys are all one piece per octave at the back under the panel, all connected when pressed continually bend at attachment point. Plus the keys don't feel good to play. I would get the arturia minilab

[@Taetro]

I think I've figured out why the MIDI controller stopped working when connected via USB to the Minifuse. The Minifuse's USB port can only deliver up to 250mA of power (considered low-power USB), which is only half of what a standard USB 2.0 port provides. My Keystep won't work either. I'm curious about its intended use with such limited power.

If someone only needs one mic input the IK Multimedia IO would be an all in one solution with any cell phone or computer plus you get free software with it. I agree the Arturia audio interface is also good because of the usb port. Saves you from a usb hub.

Very helpful video. Thank you! I am starting on a project I have been dreaming about for more than 40 years. I am 60. I am a pretty good singer with some experience in choirs and leading singing at church. I have 2 Acapella songs that I have wanted to sing with a group of men but I don’t have the group. So I am going to learn and record all the parts and put together a multi track video. So I have to learn the audio recording and the video recording as well as learning each part. I have an iPhone 11 pro max, I just bought a iPad Pro 11”, and I am updating a 2011 iMac. I have a usb studio mic, and now I have to figure what else I need and how to make this all work. This information is a good start. Any additional help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For anyone not musical ie cant play instruments , but wants to add their sing voice to some backing music , just go to garage band , for beginners its just easier in my experience to create format a song using all the sounds it offers otherwise yes band lab next etc etc
