well... i dont care what the other people say as i saw some of the negative comments here.... but i watched this video jst to get info for the beginners ... all i have to say is i got what i needed and thanxx for that.... and keep on doing what u love coz all the experts were also a beginners once.... best of luck !
But this video is out of date so essentially gives beginners bad advice, it's much better and cheaper to use a cheap USB mic into your computer and mix on free/bundled/cheap software. Another option for making credible demo tapes is using a DAW app on your phone. This video demonstrates a really strange combination of gear that sort of works. 😅
first off, REALLY, all you need is a mic, interface, and that's it. Then the software or D.A.W of your choice. If you really want a low budget yet, legit sounding recordings, get the Focusrite Scarlett Studio bundle! for DAW, Mixcraft is great, very easy and very simple.
I heard the mic that comes in that bundle isn't that great? What is your thoughts on this? I was actually thinking of going with the Behringer UM2 Audio Interface, have you seen this one before it's fairly new!
emkplayboy6 The bundle is very good. Personally, I'm not too big on the headphones, but that's just a minor detail. For the price, it's extremely difficult to beat. With any recording set up, to get a good sounding product, you have to be patient and determined. With very affordable set ups, you can get very nice and even professional sounding results. DIY musicians like Plini, Sithu Aye, CloudKicker, Bulb started with very affordable set ups and produced amazing songs with them.
Thanks.That's what I wanted to know.But I have a doubt.I want to record my vocals over karaoke backing tracks.I want to get recordings in good and amplified quality likewise she was trying to demonstrate the difference between the mixed recording and recording made with her set up in the beginning of the video.If i use microphone+USB audio interface+headphone+DAW(audacity) set up,will I get that amplified quality and without noise in audacity playing a greater hinderance?
I review hundreds of tutorials on you tube, and yours are the best! I have learned more from your videos than I have from my local community collage. You should have a million hit or more for each of you tutorials! Awesome work! I will tell all my friends and my collage professors (video & audio production classes) about you.
I have rarely come across a girl with so much in-depth knowledge about sound mixing and electronic gadgets. Your grasp on basic electronics seems to be based on sound footing (pun intended) :-) I have 40 years of experience in professional audio, and I can say from my experience that the way you have explained the basics of sound recording is way too mature and lucid. Thanks for this video, which I am sure will help many beginners to step into the world of audio.
Pinky Amore did I call myself a master? Even if I do consider myself a master, there will definitely be someone more "master" than me. It's a relative term. Nobody in this world is a "Master", we are all good in our own ways, so chill in case you are trying to act smart
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
I really think if you are a recording novice this video tutorial is absolutely exceptional. It is extremely informative in a wonderfully uncomplicated and jargon free manner. It is also very honest and really does offer good advice on the minimum requirements. Best of all the young lady comunicates very well just how within reach a satisfying little home set up can be. I would gladly use this as a teaching aid and think it would hopfully inspire young people. All your videos are superb.
Dear Ritwika: What a wonderful, thorough, and informative presentation! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and help other young, up-and-coming artists! You will be blessed for your kindness.
Ken Ussery so...because she wrote down her dialogue she doesn't know what she's talking about? BTW, i think your wrong, she's not reading anything(her eyes aren't doing tiny cutaways to read from the cue cards)...she's looking dead into the camera.
You're 100% right. It just don't come as easy as when she talks about video recording where she usually just flow with info. She's very knowledgeable. Sent from Ken iPhone
I love it how you breaking it down step by step.And telling what each part and component do.People will get straight to the point getting what they need.Ima tell others about your video.Keep up the very good work.
Nice presentation and you are a very bright young lady,but consider this; it appears to me,that you have a $300 field recorder and a $100 hardware mixer(totaling $400). As a much superior alternative..how about buying a $250 Acer Apsire computer,and a Presonus AudioBox USB(audio interface)..that has an included copy of Presonus Studio One Artist(which is a audio/midi multi-tracking program) and for around the same money,you would have the ability to record as many tracks as you like and add all of the vocal effects you like. Also...for another $119...you could get an M-Audio Oxygen 25 midi controller keyboard and make music tracks of your very own(rather than hooking up lousy MP3 player).
Andrew Mayes If she bought a microphone for say,$50...then she could record her voice,by plugging the microphone right into the front face of the interface(as it accepts XLR plugs).
Maimeo L Assuming you have a conventional mixer(some mixers have a USB connectivity),then yes,you will need an audio interface. More high quality?Higher quality then what?I obviously have no idea what your gear set up is,or what you are trying to accomplish.
This is the tutorial I have been looking for! I thank you!! Step by step, easy to follow, and professional. Nice to see someone explain in such detail. thankyouthankyouthankyou!!
Im very impressed with this video, not only is it informative but you also understand the physics of the components. Well done, I hope many people learn from this.
You took my tears off.For long days I cried that I couldn't record my voice of singing.Hope I could buy things that you demonstrated above in my pocket money.
Dryder Mataroa hello bro can u tell me the all same equipment name one by one with brand name and cost ..i want to buy it but no one explain wht the brand n what we call it
You wanna "Siri" sing your songs? Or you gonna record voice with the frying pan? Internal audio interfaces are almost always too weak to rock the condenser microphone, only electret or kinda (sure, if you are not using active microphone). So you can't record any sound without phantom power. Mixer is a nice thing, it has preamps and other goodies. Recorders are also very important, they're designed only to record sounds (unlike phones and media players) so they do it brilliant. Anyway if you'll finally discover after some tracks that you are not as good in singins songs as you thought - you can sell your stuff for pretty nice money, 'case pro-audio equipment became cheaper slowly. Thx for attention.
ebay,what about a mackie satelite with traction,90 dollars,thanks but it seems like a step backwards,and what if u sing great until the the last note of the song,Sing the entire song all over again?,however the gear seems perfect for live recordings like recording you own perfomances concerts etc.
***** well if you dont wanna go computer software, there is always digital multitrack recorders,and they are selling dirt cheap on ebay,you can find a multitrack with 8 to 16 tracks,mixer and effects,and alot have a cd recorder built right into them,thats about the best middle ground i can thinkof (rice crispy treats please (:)
there are some multitracks with 8 inputs,i have the tascam 2488,which has 8 inputs and i think records 8 inputs at once(idk for sure)but lets say u get a usb interface or multitrack with only 2 inputs and u wanted to mic a whole band i would get a 8 line mixer for my drums,its up to you haw to record,i personaly would record every instrument seperatly,so i could fine tune the eq,compression reverb,etc,hope this was helpful
woww this seems like an old school way lol, you manage to get a better quality then most people with $500 interfaces and $400 mics, anyways good stuff!!
+hasendra kuruppuarachchi Jesus, how long did it take you to memorize all those letters in your name? ~ Regarding the video, SHE SUCKS!! She shouldn't be teaching ANYONE ANYTHING, she should try to first learn herself. Like, how to not MUMBLE, how to pronounce English properly, and lastly but most importantly. How to recommend equipment that's actually good. ~ Now please, return to your letter memorization classes so you can keep spelling your name right.
hasendra kuruppuarachchi Aside from the fact that the actual change in the audio samples she gives is due to software filtering and not hardware differences. And that HER SINGING TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY SUCKS DONKEY ASS!!!! She's TERRIBLE and should NEVER try singing EVER again.
This is excellent video tutorial for a beginner like me. I'm building a home studio, just like you have. Your video taught me that I should change my recorder to a portable one similar like yours. I made the mistake of buying a full-size Tascam, and I'm very confused with how to use it. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. I'll revisit this video many more times.
@supportren Thanks so very much for your reply. Again, what is a DAW in order to check equalization? I have a preception 200 (AKG) mic and it's supposed to be great quality. My preamp is an audio box which I hear is also good. My mixer is quite old though, and cables may not be the best.
Daaaaaayyyyyyyummmmm! This setup is dope as hell. I'm converting the back of a box truck into a pro studio... space is an issue, but hopefully I can still pull off something as epic as this! Thx for the vid 🤘
god bless you . you are a wonderful teacher i have a studio and i have all the equipment and i love to sing i have everything what i don't have is the expert to record. thank you
Dear Ritwika, thank you very much. You did a fantastic job :-) After seeing your video I decided to buy the same Behringer 1202 mixer. It is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again and greetings from Deutschland!!
well i m here to say u thanks ... first of all cause this above tutorial secondly ur works over past years inspired me....now i will do my work with new positive energy ...god bless u.
highly talented girl with multiple skill and sound knowledge about technology.Best video I have ever seen about recording at cheap.I really like your voice and song
Thanks for courage and attempts to create such informative clip as i see some of these people don't even appreciate but among those there are some encouraging comments as well that i'm hoping you could look at and maybe and answers their questions , once again you are awesome . thank you
+mostinash ....I was wondering how is it likely to connect your instrument such keyboard and sing along , and what exactly mp3 player does in here ? get the playback music rhythm ? or anyone else if can answer me would be appreciated
I love the way of your presentation and confidence never saw a girl with an explanatory talent pls keep going I have started following your tutorials thanks
You are right, pre-amp is the part of the mixer. Preamp is designed to amplify very feeble signal without adding much noise. Amplifier amplifies more stronger signal to drive speakers or headphones. You need a pre-amp to amplify a small signal like a microphone and then feed the pre-amp output to the amplifier. Mixer has multiple pre-amps to amplify multiple mics and provides an easy way to mix the signals from those mics together into a stereo mix. Hope this helps.
I enjoyed this presentation very much. I have a lot of old equipment and need to upgrade my recording gear for home recording. I found this video to be helpful.
Oh that's such a nice explanation. I was wondering it to be so complex, until came across your valuable video...will try some of the facts in my search to set up amateur home studio.
...might be a bit much for most youtubers, but running vocs, keys and gtrs, then finally, the whole mix (mastered) through a separate, good quality 2 channel preamp (between the mic and mixer) can increase sound quality exponentially... and startlingly! :) ...if you do this, make sure the preamps on your mixer (or interface) are turned down completely to prevent their influence on your recording.
Great overview on your setup. I have had great success using a Zoom H2 (similar to your Sony) with its USB interface & laptop running Audacity. The H2 has a great mic, or plug in an external mic, such as a lav mic clipped to your shirt. Load the audio track into Audacity, check overdub in prefs. Record your voice in new channel in Audacity. Setup 1) Laptop (or desktop) computer w/usb 2) Digital Audio Recorder w/usb (Zoom H1/H2, etc.) 3) Headphones to monitor background track 3) Audacity
Good info for making quality "demos" at home. Finished track sounds pro and I like the warm, round sound. Pretty girl, nice tutorial, song that makes me happy. What more can you hope for :) Nice work! keep it up! Keep developing as an artist and may you achieve everything you need! Don´t let the negative comments bother you! You rock! Peace!
I've bought everything u have describe on you tube last night from amazon. and it came this morning. I've try it, and it is amazing. and is far better then other systems ( vocopro ) I've try in the last few weeks. Lol and it's much cheaper too. thank you very much
@CastleRecordz I am sorry to hear that, sound booth is good, I wish I also have one. Listen to your voice only track. If it sounds bad, then replace your microphone, cable and preamp. Also check your equalization setting in DAW. Try rolling off low frequency and slightly boost frequencies around 3000 Hz. Hope this helps.
Ritwika, Nice Video n Good Explanation, definitely going to help, main reason you need the mixer is when we connect large diaphragm Microphone like wise have shown MXL needs +48V phantom power (fantom), XLR Balanced connection, we can use unbalance cable but phantom power is must for Large Diaphragm Mics, 3 ways to provide the 48 volt is use external phantom power unit or use sound card capable of providing +48V or some mixer with phantom power, like wise here you have used Behringer Mixer.
Thanks for the reply. I found out the cause. Where the mic cable connects inside the mic, there must be a loose connection so its movement caused the scratchy sound. I taped up the cable to the mic to arrest the cable movement near the mic and this has fixed it (until I get a new one like the SB58.
Excellent vídeo and tutorial... It's exactly what I was looking for... very well explained. Thank you so much for making available your great knowledge... now I am ready to set up my own recording studio. I wish you the best in all your projects.
You listen to any music in your iPod or CD player, they all have only two channels L and R. Now guess how many mics they use in a music recording studio to get that two channel of sound? Just to record a drum set, we generally use about three to five mics! It is the mixer where the sound engineer mixes all those mics together into two L-R channels. Hope this explains.
well... i dont care what the other people say as i saw some of the negative comments here.... but i watched this video jst to get info for the beginners ... all i have to say is i got what i needed and thanxx for that.... and keep on doing what u love coz all the experts were also a beginners once.... best of luck !

good job sweety but why not get a cheap software with usb

how is this low budget :/
bcoz pro gears are really really very expensive and this is very basic.

Load the audio track into Audacity, check overdub in prefs. Record your voice in new channel in Audacity.
Setup
1) Laptop (or desktop) computer w/usb
2) Digital Audio Recorder w/usb (Zoom H1/H2, etc.)
3) Headphones to monitor background track
3) Audacity
very educational and am glad someone took the time to explain the technology
Thanks a ton for this tutorial, Ritwika. This was really useful. :)
Best technical explanation seen. You're awesome and thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😊 very much Ritwika Mitra for your good presentation about recoding by self. Good one.
Good info for making quality "demos" at home. Finished track sounds pro and I like the warm, round sound. Pretty girl, nice tutorial, song that makes me happy.

I've bought everything u have describe on you tube last night from amazon. and it came this morning. I've try it, and it is amazing. and is far better then other systems ( vocopro ) I've try in the last few weeks. Lol and it's much cheaper too. thank you very much
Hello Ritwika.....
Very systematic explanation. It was, indeed helpful...!!!!
This is just exactly what im doing in class right now. you rock!
@CastleRecordz I am sorry to hear that, sound booth is good, I wish I also have one. Listen to your voice only track. If it sounds bad, then replace your microphone, cable and preamp. Also check your equalization setting in DAW. Try rolling off low frequency and slightly boost frequencies around 3000 Hz. Hope this helps.
Ritwika, Nice Video n Good Explanation, definitely going to help, main reason you need the mixer is when we connect large diaphragm Microphone like wise have shown MXL needs +48V phantom power (fantom), XLR Balanced connection, we can use unbalance cable but phantom power is must for Large Diaphragm Mics, 3 ways to provide the 48 volt is use external phantom power unit or use sound card capable of providing +48V or some mixer with phantom power, like wise here you have used Behringer Mixer.
Thanks for the reply. I found out the cause. Where the mic cable connects inside the mic, there must be a loose connection so its movement caused the scratchy sound. I taped up the cable to the mic to arrest the cable movement near the mic and this has fixed it (until I get a new one like the SB58.
Hey ritwika can you sing that complete song! It was just amazing!!!!

Excellent vídeo and tutorial... It's exactly what I was looking for... very well explained. Thank you so much for making available your great knowledge... now I am ready to set up my own recording studio. I wish you the best in all your projects.
great mic choice. i have Nuemanns but my go to mic many times is that MXL v67. they're great all around mic's.
rarely so well informed and delighted
You listen to any music in your iPod or CD player, they all have only two channels L and R. Now guess how many mics they use in a music recording studio to get that two channel of sound? Just to record a drum set, we generally use about three to five mics! It is the mixer where the sound engineer mixes all those mics together into two L-R channels. Hope this explains.
Thank you for taking time to do this useful video and willingness to share. god bless
