Recording with the CHEAPEST gear.

- What do cheap microphones, cheap interfaces, budget instruments and cheap audio recording gear sounds like? I used only budget audio gear to record a song and the results are surprising. Don't buy a Neve preamp!

Do you ever see these cheap interfaces, microphones, guitar, drums, and other audio recording gear on amazon? Do you ever wonder if they sound good like the expensive gear that costs 10x or 20x as much? Let's actually try it out in this video and see how cheap gear sounds!

Now that you've heard the cheap stuff, listen to what a $1800 preamp sounds like! ua-cam.com/video/vAubwgakqQI/v-deo.html
Some people are really good at recording. That ability way way more important than good gear.
That 12 string was surprisingly inoffensive.
It actually sounds great for the money!
lmao. I've watched this like 5 times and shared it with some friends. I just can't get over how good you made that stuff sound. It's one of the reasons I subscribed to you awhile back. Awesome. Keep up the cool vids.
Wow, thanks Jeff!
it sounds pretty good over UA-cam, ideas & skills over GAS? nice video!
Cool idea to use super cheap stuff. And this video really reveals why it makes more sense to buy good used gear instead of bad new gear.
The magic is in your hands buddy!!!! It doesn´t matter how cheap the staff is!!! Another great video Travis!!!! 🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I agree with some of the other comments, at the end of the day it’s more the person behind the gear that makes something sound good, cheap or expensive. Yes it’s a cheaper different flavor, but you managed to make it sound unique and nice. Great job!
Well Travis you can make bad gear sound great and I can make great gear sound bad. Humm are we meeting in the middle? Truly you put an amazing amount of work in your videos. Your amazing.
You stole my line from next week's video! I hope you watch it. Thank you
Amazingly this is the second video I've watched today that featured the Vangoa 12 string
It's a sign
You have a great set of ears and THAT'S why the song sounded so f&%king good.
Thanks, JT 🙏
Just recently found your channel after buying a Tascam mk iii 424. Nice work bro! Looking forward to more content
I love how creative you are ive just started building my studio and im using a moxer worth a grand but dunno i like seeing people use cheap stuff doesnt sound to bad just way to quiet for my liking tho
Love the jar slide, and this video definitely proves it’s not expensive gear that makes good recordings. 👌
I'm putting the jar for sale on eBay for $999!
@@travisraab Excellent, I’ll head over and put a bid on! 🤣

Im am unsure if those bass strings are lethal or not? have you had your tetinus jab..
You make it look easy dude.
Working my way through your country guitar course, so I don't know much about alot of your gear. But it sounded pretty good to me. 👍
Sounds good, man! Great job! :)
lol. i love it. The trashy drums set it off. cool af.
Excellent result, sounds good to me. Enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
my only complaint in this extremely enjoyable video is, it's miles too short.....
You did it!
Unless that’s a tube mic I think they just straight up lied😳. Good job making that dukey groove though👌
You make this cheap gear sound too good man. Next time you should do a video "recording with the cheapest musicians" so we can see how bad it really sounds. Ha!
Congrats on the 10k Subs man , HUGE!
thanks man!
I just reviewed the Fifine mics (pronounced Fine Fine). They're decent. I didn't notice the condenser still works without phantom power though! I actually used the dynamic mic at band practice last week. I guess a drawback is that you can just pull it off the bracket if you're a singer and want to handhold the mic. But the tone is pretty good. I think I need to do a "how low can you go" cheap gear recording also. Then we can compare how someone with actual talent (you) stacks up to a wannabe hack(me)! HA!
Isn't there some law that makes that pronunciation illegal? I like your video idea and I look forward to seeing it, Jayce!
Two takeaways for me: The first is yes the uber cheap gear is often a hindrance to good results. But also consider how much better the cheaper name brand offerings sound when combined with some basic engineering skill. A $120k studio in a total noobs hands won’t yield a hit record.
When I was a teen in a band my lead guitar player would often use a bic lighter as an improvised slide on electric guitar. If he planned ahead, which was rare 😂 He had a .50 caliber shell that had the gun powder removed. Good times.
Hell yeah, cheap n' shitty is the way to go!
Thank you. Impressive but let's be honest Your musicianship and experience saved the day. Any 'normal' guy would just be out in the swamp without a compass (GPS Grounded Pretty Severely) . The interface alone would have overwound E to A i.e. snapped anybody without considerable experience and/or Chinese fluency (the language not the pickups). Lessons learned (for me) . The dirt cheap stuff could be okay if you have the time and experience to work it out but there are enough low price branded products that are tested on the Tube and have forums and interest groups to help and assist. If however you feel the urge to 'boldly go where no man has gone before' I wish you luck
great!
Like the drum sound...sounds like a drum machine.
I have some Comica lav mics. They aren't terrible.
I heard they make ok mics
Proof you don't need the top of the line stuff to make music.
Now record the same track but with a better setup, and compare?
👍
RX9 is our modern savior in a sea of wtf
💯👍👍👍 true
Hey Joe acoustic?
huh?
@@travisraab The opening lick is from hey Joe
How do they get your address to send it? Lol!
Nothing from the barn for about four months now... It's starting to look like neglect of your subscriber base.
I still don't know if you are pro the reduction of consumption through recycling, or free creativity with cheaper/simpler equipment, or investment in more expensive stuff to maintain resale price while training ears with proven high-quality instruments. Or all of the above and more :-)... But I agree with you.
Do you want more content? I have some stuff upcoming!
@@travisraab I'm not here (UA-cam) to become a patron/buy/trade. Honestly, I'm too old to be taken seriously. In this context anyway but you... I was thinking more about you. You are young (but mature enough) in the middle of the right stage at the right time with the right knowledge, tools... In case you already haven't caught your chance and are doing what you love then it would be a shame to miss this one.
@@DusanStanic i appreciate you offering your support and i do enjoy engaging with folks like you
