Taylor Davis, Make Some Music Videos Please, Love From India ❤

[@themathgod9567]

I have to say I love your music and you KH1 cover made me want to play the violin I actually have one from my late grandfather and thanks for bringing joy during these hard times

[@viperman3374]

Thank you Taylor for such a detailed introduction. I am working hard to practice my violin. Your achievement today is also the motivation for my current efforts. In fact, many of your original songs are very good, such as Soulbound, Ignite, Dawn of Hope, etc., I hope these can also shoot MV, haha

[@sampadsinha5859]

Thanks for watching us the beautiful demonstration.

[@leenalgailany]

Its been concerning to me how to record my own music at home as a violinist for years and i didnt know where to start, because i’ve always loved your music, and as a person i look up to and trust , immediately after watching this video today i went to get the recording equipment you mentioned,and as you said it costed me exact 500 usd , thank you for sharing this video with us it was so helpful and thank you for all the wonderful music you shared with us throughout the years💓💓💓 I’m a big fan

[@JedisTrek]

Ten years of 'at home' recording -- congrats on that. I first became aware of your music through seeing the collaboration you did with Lara and Malukah on Fear Not This Night -- 10 years ago. It has been a joy to watch your development as an artist.

[@secularpilgrim1372]

Really good, clear video. It helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@danishprince2760]

Music aside, just listening to you talk is a huge pleasure in itself

[@grimmsvgm]

Thanks for making this video! I really enjoy seeing how people work behind the scenes. I also really felt that "not disturbing the kids napping" part.

[@tarz35]

Love for FAIRY TAIL

Good show 😢

Hello Taylor, Your channel has reached 2.93 millions subscribers. How do you feel? What do you think made your channel to reach 2.93 millions subscribers? ❤

[@Lpens]

Yes finally I needed this!!! ❤

[@kaltrinabytyqi-f1e]

can we use a mixer instead of an audio interface or it should be an audio interface for sure

[@mikeso5963]

Can you please recommend a microphone for flute recording?

[@bryanjm424]

Thank you, this helped me sort through a lot of the confusion

[@VoojoWorks]

This is a fantastic & well thought out video, very helpful! Thank you!

[@melaniebrooks]

Thanks, Taylor 💖💖

[@WegraX]

Cool to see how things work behind the scenes

[@kingsonicknick3926]

Hello Taylor~~ Thanks for your sharing~~Would you suggest using a USB microphone to record violin for the beginner? It could directly connect to the phone or laptop without the audio interface, pre amp and the DAW, but I may doubt their sound quality in recording...

[@DanielSellsMuskoka]

Very helpful! Thanks

[@kagesong]

Yay, all that's really left on my list is a good audio interface. I'm hesitant to get one, because I'm recording drums, and I use tracks on my pc. I know with a lot of usb audio there's noticeable delay. But, the audio interfaces are supposed to virtually eliminate delay to my understanding. I'm also hoping I can get one with dual inputs and be able to assign those to separate channels in the DAW (Waveform Pro for me). Basically one track left, one right.

[@naskovv]

Thank you for sharing your gears and recording studio. I had fun thou.

[@graham9217]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It was very insightful. I’m glad artist like yourself share info like this, to help others out, whom might be starting out on a low budget, whether for fun or going pro. 👏🙂

[@taylordavisviolin]

Thanks Graham! I'm excited to share stuff like this because this is how I started too, and I've been fortunate enough to turn it into a career so I really like the thought of being able to help other people on their own journey with this as well! 😊

[@pr0xyius]

I would probably change the Focusrite Scarlet Solo for a Behringer UMC22 U-Phoria for half the cost. Or swap it completely for a Behringer UMC204HD or 404HD for almost the same price as the scarlet solo. It has better preamps, has less latency issues than the focusrite and with the 204HD or 404HD you can run up multiple instruments/mics

[@taylordavisviolin]

Those options look like they could be great too! I've had personal experience with the Scarlett Solo so I can vouch for its quality, and I like that it comes with Ableton Live Lite. I haven't heard of the DAW that the Behringer one you recommended comes (Tracktion) with so I can't speak to it, but I know Ableton is a really great DAW and having that upgrade path from the free Lite version is pretty great I think.

[@Savitar2023]

This is good information and although I do know how the whole video production works and such this is stiil really good if I ever want to try and record myself with my ukulele

[@thewardejitzzz]

Actually, you are a very good presenter. Well done! 🙌😄👏

[@MorganDreams-bm9zj]

Do you need a microphone if you only want to play guitar through an audio interface?

[@GarboSheezy]

Sorry I’m late to seeing this video but this is incredibly helpful!

[@keirmurray7253]

[@mlapergola]

Thank you! What are your thoughts on a product like the new Yamaha Seqtrak? Would that fit in your workflow of recording and then mixing, or a good DAW could do the same?

[@isaugh8784]

Very good thank you!

[@minutemaid123]

Which AEA ribbon mic do you have?

[@musicianfeb9568]

Helpful

[@ThePassionateComposer]

I've been having a problem when recording vocals or violin. It sounds okay, but if you use headphones, there's this weird static noise in the background, so doing a solo track would be awkward. At first I thought it was background noise, But it's actually coming from my interface. Should I get one that's better quality?

[@dmitryvazquez2819]

Cuz It only took me one month, after 6 months of playing to get that vibrato, and the second month it got faster , so like .... Did it really take you 10 years , or shorter like me

[@joshwalker9675]

Great video and your gorgeous btw js
