    I love all your videos and you’ve helped me a lot when it comes to getting an at home set up and learning to record myself. I don’t really have any mixing or engineering experience and one thing I’ve been struggling with is learning what all the plug ins do and when or how I should utilize them while recording/attempting to mix. I’d love to see a video from you on that because I know you would explain it in a way that’s easy to explain and entertaining to watch. Thanks so much for all your great content!

I told him I wanted to become a producer and write my own music and he was super encouraging and it stuck with me to this day, now I’m learning more and more through classes and people like him on UA-cam on how to lay tracks down and all that jazz! Thank you bro for encouraging me bro :)

    What up manye!!! I obtained an audio engineering degree 9 years ago but unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to work or intern for any major/semi-major studio. I just did personal projects and a few jobs in home studios. However I went on an audio hiatus for a few years but decided to get back into it a year or so ago. Found your channel and sub'd as soon as I heard you say "Hey Manye"!!! Thanks for freshing my knowledge as well as being able to learn new things from you. ✌🏾

    @tonygunz21 3 роки тому +1

    Appreciate the content man, keep it up. One thing I can say for open back headphones though, is they can be great for mixing if you can't use monitors, or want just want a backup reference, but you're right that they're not good for tracking. If you ever get a chance to check out the Focal Clears or the Audeze LCD-X, you'll be amazed. Kinda hard to explain, but it gives you a sense of space that closed backs can't come close to. It really gives you the illusion of listening to speakers instead of headphones. You can pan something hard left and you'll legit start looking to your left thinking some shit is making a noise on the left side of your room lol, it's real trippy. Again, keep up the great work man!

    OMG the first half of this video is exactly why I stopped going to the studio...the engineers never have any etiquette. Constantly distracted on their phone, people coming in and out the studio, no type of feedback (I would love a shit sandwich!), no type of direction as to when they are actually recording (there's been times I did perfect takes (to me) and the engineer never pressed record- smh) it was so frustrating so I got my own equipment. Love your videos! You are the best teacher on youtube! THANK YOU
