MY SONG WRITING SETUP

- After a long summer I'm finally back to writing songs again, I wanted to get a simple rig that I could bring wherever but also that would sound kickass.

Back to songwriting!
Finally!
Perfect timing! my band and I just started to learn pizza Hawaii! we will be able to learn your new songs!!
Awesome! Can't wait for some new music, Feared or The Haunted!!
Damn dude! Does mean that I can't become a "paying friend" now?
man this is exactly the setup i want but its a lot of money for me..anyway i really want this solar guitar in this video!!! but i cant find the guitar ! its not in the site or thomann! any help?
"Speakers from Bouw-see" xD
Xd
In my country we say it “bho-say” haha
Actually being pronounced [bouz], no "e"
@@farbercasteel shhh
Bose sounds good but damn they have just as bad quality control as Gibson
4:48 Holy shit that song sounds killer
wowspare dude fr lol
yeah, sick riff
I thinked the same
Mosiah thought*
I can see why your back yard inspires you, it looks metal af.
yeap junkyard with saws and grinders, sheet metal everywhere
Dude start learning vocals and make it a series
Id love to see this
Absolute yes
Yess
he could just kidnapp mario for that kind of videos. would be fine by me.
u dont need to learn vocals for metal anyone can sing if ita metal... crappy voice and as long as u can shout ur in 😂😂😂
Ola, you are like a friend who tells me everything I need to know about the guitar. This is so cool. Thank you, really!
Love the space. I can't wait to get out of my basement and into a room with windows and natural light. I'm pumped to hear some new stuff!
Yes! I was hoping you'd do another feared album soon, I just absolutely love that sound!
Love the small set up. Great to hear that a new album is coming.
Oh my gosh. That snippets of new ideas want to make me preorder the new stuff asap. Awesome. Ola, the Riffmasterer!
Hi Ola, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your content, and I'm always happy when I see your notification :)
Thanks Ola, great video, great set up. Love how you actually try to help and encourage people play, write, and promote music. Big thumbs up!
Hopefully another solo album pops up in the future as well as a feared album. The technical aspects of Master of the universe was brilliant. A couple songs brought on the feeling of nostalgia even though it was my first time hearing it. A literal masterpiece Ola.
Very interesting Ola thx a lot ! Waiting for your next album, Master of Universe still kicking my ass !
This setup is very inspiring. Sleek, barebones, just you and the riffs.
Gotta get back to writing too, now that I have a Solar in my hands.
"My song writing setup" - first thing I saw was blue Ikea coffee cup. Nice one, I have the same in white :D
You can't use it. White cups only good for writing country music. It is known.
Nice, did you have to assemble the cup?
Most inspiring video ever so far. Thumbs up!
That's what I said! It's a good reminder that you don't need to be chained to your desk. -Tucker
Danm, what an excellent idea to store your ideas on logic like that. I will definitely start using that method as well. Thanks Ola.
Man, just looking out your windows and seeing grass and trees. Love your place!
Those riff ideas sound sick Ola...i loved Master Of The Universe... Can't wait to see what you come up with for future work! Cheers from the U.S. !
Yesss!!!! So excited to hear Feared is writing another album!!
Drink cart is the most essential part of the rig
Thanks for this! The 'multiple song ideas in one project' workflow is really cool to see. Such a great time saver to just jump in and create. If other people use this technique, I haven't seen them make a point of talking about it.
Beautiful nature around you! Awesome. Thanks for the super informative video
Dude that was sweet
Thanks for making that
I hope there’s MOAR
Goodluck on the song writing.... Love the vinyl on your floor....
What a lovely spot. Great setup!
Ola beautiful windows mahn!! I feel like looking at rain sitting by the windows
So stoked about the new feared Album!
Excellent Ola!
Ola the TEASERERER!!!! New FEARED Album... killer!
Love your new house Ola.. it's awesome bro !!
Thanks for the tour! Enjoy the new home and a bit of free time. Peace!
I love this minimal setup!
Excited for a new Feared album!
Ola ur a good father I can tell not only is making music ur job but ur pashion but u still put it to the side mostly to make ur kids a priority that alone is badass brother
This is great! The band I just joined gave me a computer setup, with Guitar Pro, and other apps, already installed. Just need speakers and an interface; this will help. Thanks, Ola 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
This is strikingly similar to the setup that I used for a long time. Basic laptop, decent drum VST, EZMix, and a beater interface. I love that you did this video because it's good to have a reminder that your recording rig can be mobile, especially given what you mentioned about writing in a positive environment.
You rule.
-Tucker
Can't wait to hear something new from you.😉👍
Positive Ola being positively positive! That’s a nice little package you’ve got there.
I loved the woods in the background.
Artistic simplicity. I dig it. 🤘
Just watching this inspired me. That's such a cool interface, I wonder how pricey it really is. Good luck on the song writing ola, I will be doing the same!
Awesome man getcha pull on .
tu diaaaa sempoi sungguh naaa??? sound padu bak hangggggg!!
A thing that should be mentioned: great merchandise Ola! Really dig your logo and the Masters of the Universe shirt.
I love that technology has been making things compact and portable. My dad was a music composer and when I used to go with him to the professional studios he recorded in, it was all huge mixer panels and massive speakers and so many wires and other tech that would make your head spin. Now all I really need to do to get a professional sound is a small soundcard, some decent speakers and headphones and a good PC or laptop to record with. Oh, and a Solar 7 string I'll be adding to my equipment soon. ;)
The wonders of technology. Of course the purists will still say all that old analogue equipment sounds better, but in reality it doesn't and they are talking bullshit. Most of them can't tell the difference between a real amp and a modern sim if they don't know which is which beforehand. What a time to be alive!
Syklone: You can be fooled by listening for sure. But I do miss that organic feel. There is something to be said about it. Kind of like the feel and response of a tube amp. Sonically, you are right.. you can fool.
I go through phases of buying outboard gear, then recording completely in the box and thinking "why don't I always do this?" and selling my outboard gear.... then doing it again. Currently at the in the box stage.
It’s never been easier to get incredible quality on the cheap than now. From smartphones as recording gear to cheaply manufactured guitars rivaling the sound and feel of instruments several times their price. It is a great time to be a musician. Just don’t get stuck when you realize the days of jumbo jets flying you to your gig are pretty much entirely over. The music you make is essentially going to be available for free no matter what you do, so you have to be smart and offer something other than the audio. The largest segment of the music listening population is more interested in experiences than ownership. I’d offer my own ideas on marketing in this era, but then I’d be playing myself soooo yeah. Keep your wits about you, fellows!
Awesome riffs so far man! 🤘🏽
Very informative, I was looking forward to seeing this video since the instagram pic, very cool! I enjoyed it alot!
Thanks, Ola! The following is more for anyone trying different DAWs. Just a thought regarding those projects for managing riffs for different songs: Reaper allows you to keep multiple project tabs open in your DAW, much like a web browser. You can copy/paste to them just as easily as if you were using only one project, like in this video (unless you're a "dragger"--you must copy/paste). Using several different projects at once allows me to have different plugins/tones/instruments for each song/project idea,. It therefore reduces clutter, and as long as you have acceptable DI files for the final mix, it also saves time re-recording. BTW, it disables those plugins from other projects open in other tabs, so I've had no problems with CPU usage. It will enable those plugins, though, if you play all of those projects at once as "master/sub" projects, which you can also do. But I do try the different DAWs, and even in Reaper I sometimes wind up doing what you are doing there, anyway! Haha
The Apogee Jam looks awesome for travel. Nice simple compact recording setup!
You have the perfect set up for inspiration! that view outside your window is breathtaking.
Of course....nature.
Beautiful riffs! Wow
Siiiii.. finalmente un altro album dei Feared!!!!!
a new Feared album ?! fuck yeah !!
That was a nice little video. Your set-up is very clean and orderly, leaving space for inspiration.
FUCK YEAH another Feared album in the works!!!!!!
Super cool! I do a similar thing with Focusrite, Reaper, headphones and a little midi synth input and you can go crazy.
Cool, thank you Ola!
The little corner fireplace is dope!
Nice Ola, best of luck sir!
*Say hello to your newest paid friend, Ola! Just joined!!* I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!
I love this setup. The only thing I would change is the interface. I can't be without RME ! The more equipment you have, the more is it in the way of creative work. Great show !
I really like your setup and the simplicity of it
New shit sounds sick just from those clips man
Looking forward to another Feared album.
Love the inspiration brother...
That house :O
Detailed video of the house
It seems summer vacation is flipped around over in parenthood land. Hope to hear more great metal from you. God bless from Canada.
Wow Ola thank you for this video,this is just right up my alley..i don't play in a band,im just a chugger hobbyist..
Great to hear you're inspired to wire again!
Another Feared album soon? You made my day!
I can't wait to hear new songs Ola \m/
New Feared album? Epic!
You've got the guitar brand which is kick ass, now time for Ola Englund's Ultimate Amp. From sparkling spring water cleans to distortions so saturated it'll bring a blush to the face of every Death Metal chugger in Sweden and Bulgaria. The Viking God of Heavy Rock guitar amps. Sporting 12 Tubes, a custom gain circuit, and specialized speaker in a carbon fiber housing, the Red Eyed demon of Riffericious metal mayhem.
Härlig utsikt Ola!🙏🎸
Simple setup yet effective. I dig it
To your point towards the end, the environment definitely has a huge impact on songwriting and productivity!
Great inspiration !
Simple and sweet, all you need to make killer music.
Great simple set up!
My room has a little girl saying "daddy" every four seconds, so it's a pretty low writing process.
I feel you 😞
Call her "mommy" until she realizes her resistance is futile, when the power of metal compels you!
@@bcbitchkkv 🤨
Great video Ola! Moore stuff like this please!
I too have a logic pro X project - it's called "sandbox' and basically I have snippets or longer pieces in different areas. It's just one big project, I think this is very good as you can just fly into another thing and go back and forth vs 'do you want to close project' and then open a new one and load plug ins and get a pineapple up your butt for no reason because it's painful. I would recommend if you use headphones, get some flat response ones like MDR-7506 which have been in studios since 1991. I *LOVE* them. They aren't expensive but are accurate as hell. They are under $100 and are great when you really want to hear how something *really* sounds. Do some side by side, with Bose, beats, whatever speaker that's not a monitor you're going to get 'enhanced' sound. You want to really know what something is going to sound like get these.
I approve however of Bos eee.
I like how you dropped that little feared morsel right there at the end.
Just got some Bose companion speakers! Thanks man!!🤘🎸🔊🎶
Nice video man, my last flat had a great view out of the window where I had my set up too. Knew they would be Feared riffs 😂
I was just analyzing my creative space and get on youboob and bam! Ola on creative space! Crazy
Good luck with the writting bro remember don't rush, play guitar till it gets unbearably boring and then keep playing whilst trying to find new inspiration. Sometimes I find jamming with other people sometimes helps not just for inspiration but it will subconsciously put you in competitive mode especially jamming with new people with everyone trying to size everyone up.
That is a beautiful view out the other window nice house ola
I have a similar setup, in practice i mean, but with cheaper gear, but it gets the job done. Lovely environment you have there.
Ola, your home is really neat and tidy... breaks the stereotype hahaha but again you are from Sweden the home of IKEA.
very inspiring, Ola!
a new feared album is what the world needs
Great environment, indeed!
wow your Swedish Backyard looks like my Canadian Backyard! must be the temperature similarity that makes the same types of plants prosper!
Ola trolling again, sounds more like new haunted material 🙃😊 Sounds promising 👍 love the house..
Thanks Man. Really cool simple as shit set up! Will try that as well
Mind fucking blown! All riffs in one place!! I've been using a cassette player! I'm teasing but it's close, using my phone to capture riffs as I'm writing but this makes more sense.
Awesome setup! Like mine ))
You dont need a lot of gear to create.
You need only your brains! And time. I have some problems with that.
Backyard view is the main thing!
