As a beginner trying to set up a small home studio, I've learned more from this short video than I have trying to work it out myself over the past 6 weeks. Thank you!
I like your style straight to the point . I use the Zoom L20 live track multi-track recorder . It is very versatile for home recordings and live recordings with 20 individual strips with effects , EQ and compression . 6 head phone outputs with individual mixes . All depends on individual budget . Great informative vid , subscribed .
You give me the best explainations that i need for my work here at home! You deserve for more subscribers..! Keep uploading more quality and informative videos at the future. Subscribed!
Thanks much, I am looking to buy an audio interface and this has helped me eliminate some choices. I'm mainly working alone so the multi-track mixers are beyond my needs at this point.
I'm using the Mackie profx12v3 mixer. I'm running komplete13 production software with the komplete kontrols49 key board. The Mackie does everything I need, so many choices out there can be very confusing..Great review and most informative information for anyone building there studio for the first time...awesome 👍
Thank you for this. Can we please get a video on if the usb mixers add a certain “color” to your mixes or if the eq/compressor is better than what you have in your daw?
Thank you for this explanation but the issue that I have with most UA-cam videos, they address these from the input point of view. Like. recording the drums or guitars or vocals,.which most of bedroom producers hardly do. From a productions stand point, what if I need multiple output to route out to external effects and back to the DAW. The outputs are as important as inputs.
Great Recording info, If I was just focusing on a Podcast this would be the way I would go, especially with multiple guest. I really wanted to start a podcast on Podbean and now that I think about using the bigger usb mixer with more inputs would be perfect. Dope Channel!
Awesome Explanation!! I am very new to the studio deal, and have not had the best of luck figuring things out as of yet. You have a gift my friend! I learned more out of the one video of yours vs. at least 20 other videos combined. Very professional !!!! Thanks so very much. Thumbs up to you and I subscribed to your channel and will be referring many of my friends to your channel. Sincerely, Bob Lewis
Thank you Bob! I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you for taking the time to write this great comment!! It’s comments like this that keeps me coming back!! 🙏🏾👊🏾
I don't see reviews going straight forward for considering which is the best option in a specific scenario: usage for digital music production AND live perfomance all in one. So I expended a lot trying to figure it out what to buy according to my needs. Are you looking for a gear that fits well digital music produciton and eventually can be taken to a live gig? Do you need an audio interface, but you also have your own DJ gear and you want to have all the necessary equipment for a small party? That was my case and I chose the Yamaga MG10XU, while I was researching a lot on audio interfaces and inclined towards buying the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4. I'm into digital music production and DJing and the max I will be recording are my own vocals, with I'm not being concerned about recording multiple tracks separately. So I was looking for an audio interface. Focusrite Scarlett Solo didn't seem fit because it doesn't has headphone volume knob. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 has the knob, but only two outputs (or one, for a pair of monitors). I needed more outputs, for crowd speakers and booth speakers. Further Focusrite Scarlett's have more outputs, but the they start to get pricy and the outputs are TRS... Since I was needing an audio interface and intend to play live, the Yamaha MG10XU just seemed pefect for me, so I just bought one yesterday. I haven't received it yet, anyways. But the 4 output options (2 stereo outputs), its built-in audio interface, its AC adapter for power supply and, the level meter for the master, the balanced main stereo out XRL outputs, its built-in pre-amplifiers and the fact that it proccessess 24bit/192khz signals was all I needed. And for all that, the Yamaha MG10XU was cheaper than even a Scarlett 2i4. I might be wrong here and there, since I've just started building my studio and researching things, but I just hoped to help those who have the same needs as I do. Thanks!
First, I love your channel and your videos. You help me so so much. I’m a old hardware guy who’s just getting back into the mix. I like using beatmaker 3 but I want some hardware now. I want to get a midi drum pad controller, a better midi keyboard controller, and maybe add some live instruments, and I want them to all work simultaneously. Can I connect the Zoom L 8 to beatmaker 3 and do this? I can’t seem to find not one video of someone connecting a L8 to an iPad and using multiple things in beatmaker 3. Can you do one? Lol keep doing good work, you really make a big difference man. I appreciate you. You help me a lot.
What’s good Brian?! All of this is possible bro but it really comes down to how many inputs you need or want. The L8 has only 6 inputs so this could limit you if you need more. Zoom does make a L12 that could get the job done tho! You could easily use one of these zoom usb mixers with and iPad and hook up live gear and mics. The ipad will recognize these mixers as an audio interface. Good luck my brother!! 🙏🏾👊🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
I love the model 12, i was useing the audio fuze interface wich had amazing sound quality. . . i had a huge problem with static the first week with the model 12, i had no idea i had to install drivers / a program to run the tascam as a interface properly without any static. Still looking into presonus for the future.
Hey, Marcus, I have a Yamaha MG060X and A focusrite solo, can I use them together and if so how? I am new to all of this, and I know your question is going to be what do I want to do with them, well first make my own music and two podcasting, is there a way to connect them together? Julie
Hi Julie, 🤔 well I would connect my Mic or Mics up to the Y-MG and then run the stereo outs of the Y-MG to the Solo’s inputs and then connect the solo to my cpu. This way you maintain great control over your mic inputs the effects and so on….and only use the solo as the bridge to the cpu software. I Hope this helped. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I notice as I shop all the mixers skip right over how many lines they will send to the DAW. what is the lingo I am actually looking for. I see that the they call it different things also. So some quick tips on what is the proper words we are looking for would be great. Bus.
I really enjoyed your video thank you for the thorough explanation i’m a DJ and I’m trying to start stream On my twitch channel and I’m trying to figure out what is best for me
Wish you had a video on that zoom live track l8 working with pro tools and how to do multi track recording within pro tools with the l8 some notify me when he does it thanks in advance.
Great breakdown. I don't see a lot of discussions (yet, still scouring) about the balance between something great for mixing and USB with DAW + great for live shows. I want my cake, and to eat that sweet sweet icing as well.
i bought a fduce sl40x xlr dynamic microphones, i didnt know it need an audio interface or an audio mixer which one should i purchase. i want to use it for streaming, like zoom, teamlink.
Hey Marcus,Wassup, Question, Using Model 12 mixer as audio interface( Windows sees it as output for computer).MPC X in preferences sees ASIO as audio device type in dropdown. And Device Model Mixer ASIO, Input Model Mixer ASIO in dropdown (which is my model 12). That's the setup I have, and it works. MPC X is also hooked up to computer and nothing else is hooked up tp MPC X. It still works like this in controller mode. I can't get audio output from MPC X to anything like discord, or skype, but I can hear it from model 12 in my setup???? Can You help me figure this out Man??? Thank you for your time & consideration!!!! Don't know how to DM directly, my apology for such a long comment.
Yeah 😅 I’m still a little confused So for a home studio just making beats should I get a audio interface or mixer & I need someone to explain the process of layering tracks & what is that ?
The Focusrite Audio Interface is a good option. There are lots of reviews and tutorials online. I almost bought one of these to record home demos (guitars, bass, keys, percussion, vocals) using Garageband on my MacBook. Yesterday Musician's Friend had a Harbinger usb mixer L1402fx on sale so I bought it instead. I can still record to the MacBook but I can also use the L1402fx performing live. I hope that helps!
@@shawndoe6843 In the late 90's I used a 4 track recorder to record 18 or so songs that I had written. I usually started with a rhythm guitar and then added a lead vocal. Then, a guitar solo and/or other instruments and backing vocals. These are considered layers. Then one mixes down to the final mix what, what you hear on an album.
In those days, and with only 4 tracks, I certainly did not layer one instrument multiple times though. Here's a good quick video on layering: ua-cam.com/video/673R2Ht3g58/v-deo.html
@@shawndoe6843 To put it more simply. You can't use a single track to make a song. In the old days they needed to record several instruments on a single track but nowadays you can record every instrument in different track. Imaging layering as a painting. You start with a base, usually bass or drums, and you start the coloring, maybe with a guitar, or a keyboard. That is layering. If you record on an interface with 2 tracks, you can record 2 tracks at the same time and treat them separately, that would be layering 2 tracks but you need to build more.
I like recording music to post on social media...i used a tascam it sounds bad on my phone. I bought a volt 2 and record with the laptop camera....it doesn't sound as good as i hoped. Is there a better way...maybe i need a mixer...i dont know...
I have a Soundcraft FX16ii with a built in usb audio interface. Could you Please tell me if i will be able to record good sound Quality with it?? Any help and advice would be very much appreciated!! Cheers and Happy Happy Days from a older model in Australia
hey i got i question,can model tascam 12 with audio built in interface compete with standard audio interfaces for professional recording??? thx in advance
How do I connect a mpc one standalone to Yamaha MG10XU usb mixer to route with the 2 channels on it I’m trying to connect a Casio CTK 6200 piano I have it where it’s already compatible to the MPC one but my problem is Routing it to the MPC one on the audio track? I hope you know what I mean.
So I have the focusrite and the mg10 . I’ve been trying to record sax with the Yamaha since I can pre set my eq with some reverb etc. but I notice that the volume is lower on the playback every time I use the mixer as an interface as opposed to the focusrite. How can I get the volume to be as loud ?
When I use the Bluetooth in my car with my phone, I can play music on my phone and the person that I am talking to does not hear the music they only hear my voice. Is there a mixer or interface that can do that for home use?
I've been getting into producing a lot over the past year. I'm actually in the market for either a mixer or a daw controller. Idk yet, but this video helped. Can anyone explain to me the hype behind faders?
It’s not really hype it’s more about getting back to the way it was in the beginning. Being able to touch, move and feel the mix! Call me old school but I miss those days. Clicking the mouse just isn’t for me. 🙏🏾👊🏾
I'm having customers coming in lately saying focus rite went back on software promises advertised when sold to people... Not cool if true? I've heard it 3 times? Any one else hear this?
Does the multitrack USB Interface work as a controller with the DAW? If I hit mute on the Mixer will My DAW mute? if I turn the fader up will the fader in the DAW move? I'm curious about effects as well? when I had a Multitrack Mixer Interface it would only record the signal input and volume the on board effects wasn't audible in the daw
Yes! The Tascam model 12 can control your DAW, all fader and mute functions work. TM12 is a multitrack recorder so onboard effects work in stand alone. 🙏🏾👊🏾
@@MarcusElbow So it's doubles as a controller just without the fancy motorized faders? I'm was looking to change from a Interface to a multichannel USB Interface mainly so I can apply EQ on the board so that I can Live Stream a band playing but not have to fiddle with the mouse unless I wanna go back and remix it...so if all that works like that I feel kinda silly that I ever got an 8 channel interface and not a mixer interface instead haha 😅 I've not really found any downsides when the prices are so similar 😅
Any advice if you primarily use zoom? My usb sound cord that runs from my board to my cpu…but it gives off a buzzing when it’s unmuted and a song playing. Like sharing a youtube video and someone is singing along w/mic…buzzing is coming thru my floor speakers…but it will stop if it unplug the usb sound cord. But no one will hear the singing in zoom if I do this. It actually wouldn’t produce a sound, until I took it out the cpu, plug it into a hub to the cpu…now we get sound but this buzzing. I’m not a sound tech, but the media area is under me. I need some advice…I believe this interface will help me…but it’s just a guess.
