This is USEFUL! So so so many music youtuber’s assume that people know some basic stuff... but where will they learn that? Explaining the basics like audio interface and which cables they need is gold. Really wish I had this when I started two years ago, but I’m just glad it exists for beginners! Definitely gonna send this to people when they need to know what to get
Agreed! I am okay with music theory from high school, but in terms of what equipment I needed to add to my computer in order to make music, this video helped so much! At first, I thought that it would cost so much money to start, but it didn't really. Thanks, Sanjay!
Yeah, cause I don't know anything when it comes to a home set up like this, I need basic ABC's method of learning, I'm hungry so i will learn quickly! 😁
dude I was feeling sooooo sad and stupid and discouraged. then after watching your video I feel so happy. What you said answered SO MANY questions that no one else was talking about or making clear. THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! I can make music now.
Don't know how I stumbled upon this video, but after wasting time watching 10+ other videos, was finally able to get my setup together. with this one. Straight to the point, super descriptive and was able to follow it step by step. Lifesaver.
This was perfect timing. Setting up music and video workstations for my sons 14 & 12. You have blessed us so much with all your helpful videos! Thank you!!!
Hai sanjay..i use scarlet solo on my A.I i also use ableton 11 im having prob i use usb nektar se49 on trak wich should i schoose? I can see the wave when recorded but it has no sound😅
It's nice to see you using the Arturia Minilab Mk2 even after 4 years after it first came out. I bought it because of Budget and stock constrictions. But you are using it. That makes me feel so proud.
I was on the verge of selling all the equipment I bought to pursue music-making. Your video answered so many of my questions in a concise but complete way, and my mind is changed. Thank you!
This video is incredible! I've been so confused and don't know where to even start. I gathered all of my equipment and was just freaking out about how to set it all up. Thank you so much this is incredibly helpful.
Getting an audio interface for my birthday on the 19th, so glad you made this video! After seeing your interface video, i chose the Focusrite as I am on a budget.
You did this ~a year ago, and between April and September 21, I have watched it umpteenth times... I find "revelations" every single time... Could you please update this and give us a fresh one. I can assure you that there are several prehistoric men and women who would watch this and benefit.. immeasurably. Thank you!!!
A very important video for all the young producers and musicians. The topic can easily get confusing but your presentation made it easy to digest. Thank you!
A female here, new to music production! This is the video that I was waiting from you for so long! Thank you for this, I was super intimidated by everything but now I understand the tech side of it 💗🙌
Hi Skanda! I'm so glad my video helped you out. We need to showcase more female producers on UA-cam. When you've recorded something you love, share it on Instagram and tag me and #SanjayCNews. I'll be happy to take a listen and maybe share it on my News Report series.
@@SanjayC thank youuu! Of course I'll definitely tag you once I start everything! Just 18 years now, about to buy my little studio, thanks to you. Much love to you and Dharti! 🙌😄💗
Hey Sanjay, The Focusrite interface has two outputs at the back (L and R) for monitors. But what if you have monitors that only have 1 output? Like a 3.5mm cable. Do you connect it on the front like you did with the headphones on this video, would that produce the same sound quality?
Just found your channel and immediately subscribed. You provide soooo much valuable information for home recording etc, and equipment reviews. Thank you Sanjay! In the sea of information videos, You're a keeper!
I'm a dinosaur from the early days of midi, getting back into home recording...wow, have things changed. I found this video to be amazingly helpful. My question is in regards to audio. If you have multiple audio producing devices, does your audio interface need numerous inputs? Or, should you run separate audio outs into a mixer and send the outs of the mixer to the audio interface??
Hi Nancy. You can do it both ways. Using a mixer may be more cost-effective since multiple input mixers are typically cheaper than multi-input audio interfaces. If you really want to go the audio interface route the Audiofuse 8Pre by Arturia is a good choice and isn't crazy expensive
Oh boy, it's a dinosaur revival lol. Glad I'm not the only pre-millennial looking to return to music.. but I was teaching music before Midi but the standards. Thank you for all the info on setting up but you missed out one major piece of equipment - the actual desk itself. Is it a custom build or are there actually units out there with an extended pull-out shelf?
I just wanna say a big fat thank you bc like someone else commented, I’m a complete beginner & I don’t even know what half this stuff means, what I need or how to use them.
I can only repeat what others have said. This is so good as instead of going straight into Ableton, We learn here about the connections and settings. It took me a couple of weeks to get my audio, guitar, Scarlet and midi controller to work together. Wish I had seen this earlier.
This is great Sanjay!! I wish I had seen something like this when I first started. You hit all the important concepts someone needs to know to get started 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sanjay C I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a beat producer, I am a singer/songwriter in Nashville mainly Country, CCM, Americana. But I love your videos! Thanks for what you do 👍👍
@@SanjayC Hey thanks for replying and asking! Right now I only have some stuff I worked on in college classes (MTSU) up on my Sound Cloud. soundcloud.com/dylan-todd-745037774 I recommend listening to my song "I Feel Good", that was one Pop song I produced and co-wrote with the vocalist of the demo. I also recommend the song "Beyonce" a song I co-wrote with a Pop songwriter in college, it was actually recorded at The Tracking Room in Nashville, with Session musicians and a programmer. The other songs are all more country/Americana style songs. Two of them also recorded at The Tracking Room.
I got my studio set already but have always wondered how to do it myself....Moreover this is a topic in which many quality videos arent made....glad u did.
Sanjay, you're the 5th person I've watched to help me solve my problem of connecting midi to into scarlet into reaper. Got a good feeling about your video even though I'm only 15 seconds into it. I'll let you know...
Great Video Sanjay!🌸 I Have a Doubt. I have the Yamaha PSR s975 Arranger keyboard. So Could I Connect that to my DAW to record the audio and MIDI as well?
Yes you can use the Yamaha keyboard the same. Make sure you connect it by MIDI (or USB) to your computer. And then you can use it with the Komplete Kontrol keyboards as well
@@SanjayC My ROI for courses is high sanjay. I have grown from 100 to 250$ per month, which as you know is half the monthly salary in India. So I'm doubling down and building my courses in udemy and skillshare.
Wow! Dude, you're killing it! In time, this can be a full-time job for you! I'm so happy to hear you are successful. Do you need some help getting the word out to more people? Email me at sanjay@sanjayc.com. Maybe I can say something in my upcoming news report.
@@SanjayC not yet sanjay. Till now I have been creating small 1 hour courses which has helped me a lot. But now I'm now working on making comprehensive guide - 75 hour course on music production. I have filmed about 35 percent of the course. When I finish the rest I will definitely email you sanjay. I'm making this 75 hour course which includes learning the ins and outs of ableton, going over every plugin and every effect, making their first beat in ableton, drum programming for (pop, hiphop, trap, trance, funk, rock) -each includes 15 individual rythms, introduction to sound design, what is reverb and types of reverb and how to emulate them,compression-types and functions indepth, mixing, mastering,and some extras like podcast editing, sound design for video. Till now all the courses I published are 1 hour and 30 mins courses on small topics related to music production. I offered them for free for one month and got 2000 emails from people who enrolled after that I published two more courses and made them paid. Now I'm making this giant course to make it paid and drop small free courses continuously along the way to collect emails to redirect them to the giant course So once I finish this mega music production 101 course I will defined contact you sanjay. Nothing I have done would be possible without your channel feeding me inspiration every week. Thank you so much. Much love brother.
I am okay with music theory from high school, but in terms of what equipment I needed to add to my computer in order to make music, this video helped so much! At first, I thought that it would cost so much money to start, but it didn't really. Thanks, Sanjay!
Don't forget to always mention the Free Voicemeter Banana for Virtual external output, without which the keyboard controllers cannot work. I am glad I found it and it didn't frustrate me so much, but I have seen reviews where some who are not good at research had to hire someone to install such virtual meter or driver. It is the most essential tool for everyone on Windows.
Sanjay ! Thank you so much for helping me get set up . It’s appreciated . I’m sick of paying epidemic sound $244 a year . I just bought the arturia minilab on special for $179. This leaves me $64 to put towards a Scarlett solo ; well it’s a start anyway . 🙏🏼👏🏼
That's awesome!! If you want to use Ableton to create songs, I have a useful tutorial here (15 minutes to get you up and running). And you already have Ableton Lite free with your Minilab! ua-cam.com/video/LLcKyoUPrZs/v-deo.html
Hi Sanjay C Sir, This video was really helpful especially the connection to record your keyboard built in sounds in your daw. Thanks for uploading this video!
Arnav, when i install the plugins they usually go to the VST and Components (Mac) folders. If I install them on an external drive, I have to tell Ableton where to look sometimes.
I've learned a lot from your videos. You are now like a mentor. I'm setting up my home studio, only missing a midi controller which I already ordered. Can't wait!
As always another fantastic, informative video Sanjay! Thank you for taking the time to break it all down. Most of this I've figured out but I always enjoy your honest unbiased comments. One thing I would love to see since you have a true knack for teaching/instructing is a mini series of making a song from start to finish. Using the basics, for example, create a cover of a popular song, where to start, step by step laying down the tracks, adjusting the sounds, adding vocals, mixing the vocals, backing vocals to sound similar to the original song, etc. I haven't see anyone do something like this and it would be helpful for me along with probably many other people. Maybe like a 101 Boot Camp. Preferably in Logic Pro : )
Thank you Rentonbroadway! I've got some great ideas for song breakdowns. Hope to get to it soon. But I still need to learn Logic better. So I may do them in Ableton. But I'll try to make them work for any DAW
@@SanjayC Thank you, I appreciate it. I am sure I can google my way through Logic Pro. You do a great job giving lots of different terms that things are known for so it makes it very easy to adapt.
Thanks a lot Sanjay, I was looking out for a video like this for many days, and here I got a best one from you, pretty simple & clear info for a basic Home Studio setup. Thanks again, God bless your efforts.
WOW! I´m from Argentina, and after two days waching a lot of videos you explained everything (I had doubt about the conections) . THANK U !! ps: Nobody explain the connections; are so important!.
Dude! I love your vids. People forget sometimes. You show them how absolutely simple everything really is. This is something that every artistic individual should explore.
Thank you sanjay, You help me so much with choosing right gear for me. On my wish list i have Arturia minilab mk2, motu m2, Yamaha hs5 and audio technica at2020...what do you think?
Sanjay C are Mackie CR3's Better or a pair of Edifier bookshelf speakers?? Cause price wise a bookshelf speaker costs way less than the Mackie CR3's. So i have a doubt of which on to pick up...?????
your videos are really the best in the business. def one of the best music related channels out there!! so glad i found this channel. I needed this specific video. I've also watched like ten of your videos today hahaha. keep it up man :)
Thanks Sanjay for a very decent video regarding the basics, most of which I already knew, but I'm sure helped tons of others who didn't. But I was looking for instructions on a subject that you briefly mentioned, but didn't actually touch on or explain how to do. So before I search your other videos for the proper procedure, I hope you can help me out with my current setup. I recently purchased a terrific audio interface that has been working wonderfully to play back the patches on both my keyboard and my synth in Cubase. However, today I finally received a MIDI Host unit that I was hoping to use to play the sounds on my synth as a slave to my larger keyboard as a master. I connected everything this way: USB out from Master keyboard to USB in of MIDI Host unit; MIDI Out from Host unit to MIDI In of Interface: MIDI Out of Interface to MIDI In of Synth (Slave). However, I must have done something wrong, or missed something, because the Master keyboard is not triggering the Slave synth. So, if you have any tips, suggestions, or advice on what I am doing wrong or need to do differently with the gear that I already have, it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, after I stop to have dinner I will check out some of your other tutorials (now that I have subscribed) to see if you have already touched on my topic. Thanks.
Dude, you're the best, just awesome. Im stuck midway with equipment i need to set up, and i believe i am missing components. Now its clarified that its the interface (peferably a bundle pack) Daw, memory and cables. Need new monitors as well. I will mos def complete my studio from your videos. Thanks a whole lot buddy.
It's also pretty easy to build acoustic panels! I built 5 big ones for my home studio and all I used were wood, screws. rockwool insulation, some fabric and staples, they made my space sound so much better and they were really inexpensive!
Hi Sanjay. I was so happy yo see you using a Juno 106, my very first synth back in the 80's. It along with other keyboards has been sitting dormant for decades. I have been trying to learn how to start using it today with the new technology available. Thanks for providing the answers to help me get started!
Subbed, i used to play piano as a kid but need to relearn and figured id learn digital music in the process, (plus i already have super high end mics and pc equipment from content creation) your videos have been immensely helpful for figuring out the basics and how to get started
@@SanjayC I always wonder (about myself in the future) but I'll pass the question to you: when you plan on buying a watch isn't there a bit of a conflict in your music gear-lover head in which you think about what possible instruments you could get instead?
This is USEFUL! So so so many music youtuber’s assume that people know some basic stuff... but where will they learn that? Explaining the basics like audio interface and which cables they need is gold. Really wish I had this when I started two years ago, but I’m just glad it exists for beginners! Definitely gonna send this to people when they need to know what to get
Lachlan, thanks so much for sharing with others, man. It really helps my channel!
Agreed! I am okay with music theory from high school, but in terms of what equipment I needed to add to my computer in order to make music, this video helped so much! At first, I thought that it would cost so much money to start, but it didn't really. Thanks, Sanjay!
@@SanjayC so you have both the Scarlett interface & the Minilab Mk2 connected via usb directly to the laptop?
Yeah, cause I don't know anything when it comes to a home set up like this, I need basic ABC's method of learning, I'm hungry so i will learn quickly! 😁
dude I was feeling sooooo sad and stupid and discouraged. then after watching your video I feel so happy. What you said answered SO MANY questions that no one else was talking about or making clear. THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! I can make music now.
So happy to hear that! Have fun and good luck with your music!
This video is so well made that anybody afraid of music production will probably feel much more confident. Well done
Don't know how I stumbled upon this video, but after wasting time watching 10+ other videos, was finally able to get my setup together. with this one. Straight to the point, super descriptive and was able to follow it step by step. Lifesaver.
This was perfect timing. Setting up music and video workstations for my sons 14 & 12. You have blessed us so much with all your helpful videos! Thank you!!!
Wow...love that you're helping them setup workstations. They are lucky to have you. Keep doing what you do. Much respect.
Your videos are so great that people who know everything about these will also want to watch the video 😂❤️
Glad you think so!
This is video is most wanted , everyone should watch this video before setting up a studio 💓💓
Thanks so much. Yes, I wish I had this video when I started out! LOL

I Have a Doubt. I have the Yamaha PSR s975 Arranger keyboard. So Could I Connect that to my DAW to record the audio and MIDI as well?
So could I use it like you have used your KompleteKontrols MIDI keys?
Yes you can use the Yamaha keyboard the same. Make sure you connect it by MIDI (or USB) to your computer. And then you can use it with the Komplete Kontrol keyboards as well
@@SanjayC thanks a lot Sanjay! All Love❤️💫
First comment #notificationsquad is back
Squad has grown so well that it's so hard to be first comment. #strongertogether
Squad captain, Maslin is here! When's your next song coming out?
@@SanjayC My ROI for courses is high sanjay. I have grown from 100 to 250$ per month, which as you know is half the monthly salary in India. So I'm doubling down and building my courses in udemy and skillshare.
Wow! Dude, you're killing it! In time, this can be a full-time job for you! I'm so happy to hear you are successful. Do you need some help getting the word out to more people? Email me at sanjay@sanjayc.com. Maybe I can say something in my upcoming news report.
@@SanjayC not yet sanjay. Till now I have been creating small 1 hour courses which has helped me a lot. But now I'm now working on making comprehensive guide - 75 hour course on music production. I have filmed about 35 percent of the course. When I finish the rest I will definitely email you sanjay.
I'm making this 75 hour course which includes learning the ins and outs of ableton, going over every plugin and every effect, making their first beat in ableton, drum programming for (pop, hiphop, trap, trance, funk, rock) -each includes 15 individual rythms, introduction to sound design, what is reverb and types of reverb and how to emulate them,compression-types and functions indepth, mixing, mastering,and some extras like podcast editing, sound design for video.
Till now all the courses I published are 1 hour and 30 mins courses on small topics related to music production. I offered them for free for one month and got 2000 emails from people who enrolled after that I published two more courses and made them paid.
Now I'm making this giant course to make it paid and drop small free courses continuously along the way to collect emails to redirect them to the giant course
So once I finish this mega music production 101 course I will defined contact you sanjay. Nothing I have done would be possible without your channel feeding me inspiration every week.
Thank you so much. Much love brother.
GREAT GREAT. Thank you so very much. Your time and efforts are truly appreciated! Keep up the good work. Rock Rock on!!!
Hi Sanjay I’m the head of your notifications squad plz give me a shoutout
Sup Hassan! Squad leader reporting! 🤜
But you dont even have any videos?
U do a Good Job. Straight to the point.
Speak clear. Great, easy to the details.
Thanks.
You said you listed everything in the video but I don’t see the red paint for the room... LIARRRRRR
Haha! Home Depot.
Thank you, this video totally cleared my all studio set-up doubts 💯.
Excellent Video. After searching many different places, I found the answer to what I wanted to know within the first 3 minutes! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I am okay with music theory from high school, but in terms of what equipment I needed to add to my computer in order to make music, this video helped so much! At first, I thought that it would cost so much money to start, but it didn't really. Thanks, Sanjay!
Don't forget to always mention the Free Voicemeter Banana for Virtual external output, without which the keyboard controllers cannot work. I am glad I found it and it didn't frustrate me so much, but I have seen reviews where some who are not good at research had to hire someone to install such virtual meter or driver. It is the most essential tool for everyone on Windows.
You are the best teacher Sanjay C ! Keep it up ! 👏👍
Thanks a ton
Sanjay ! Thank you so much for helping me get set up . It’s appreciated . I’m sick of paying epidemic sound $244 a year . I just bought the arturia minilab on special for $179. This leaves me $64 to put towards a Scarlett solo ; well it’s a start anyway . 🙏🏼👏🏼
That's awesome!! If you want to use Ableton to create songs, I have a useful tutorial here (15 minutes to get you up and running). And you already have Ableton Lite free with your Minilab! ua-cam.com/video/LLcKyoUPrZs/v-deo.html
Sanjay C 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is the most no nonsense video for beginners, awesome!!
Glad it was helpful!
THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS STUFF!!!1
Hi Sanjay C Sir,
This video was really helpful especially the connection to record your keyboard built in sounds in your daw.
Thanks for uploading this video!
You're welcome! 🙏
Awesome! One of the best UA-camrs around! Excellent info and explanations.
you have no idea how much this video was needed. thank you sanjay!
You're so welcome!
Hello sanjay c nice and informative video but can u tell that how do you save your plugin collection in your computer
Arnav, when i install the plugins they usually go to the VST and Components (Mac) folders. If I install them on an external drive, I have to tell Ableton where to look sometimes.
This has been more helpful than the 17 different researches I've made
Simple & to the point, that's what I like about your videos.. Great work my friend
Thanks so much!
Dude. This video is the 101 of music studio. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this.
Glad you like it!
This is more than what i needed. So neat,straightforward and well explained. Thank you very much❤
I've learned a lot from your videos. You are now like a mentor. I'm setting up my home studio, only missing a midi controller which I already ordered. Can't wait!
Thanks, Jacobo! Congrats on the coming keyboard!
Hi Sanjay, great video!! I have an MPK25... should I connect to my focusrite 2i2 instead of my MAC? And what are the preferred cable connections??
As always another fantastic, informative video Sanjay! Thank you for taking the time to break it all down. Most of this I've figured out but I always enjoy your honest unbiased comments. One thing I would love to see since you have a true knack for teaching/instructing is a mini series of making a song from start to finish. Using the basics, for example, create a cover of a popular song, where to start, step by step laying down the tracks, adjusting the sounds, adding vocals, mixing the vocals, backing vocals to sound similar to the original song, etc. I haven't see anyone do something like this and it would be helpful for me along with probably many other people. Maybe like a 101 Boot Camp. Preferably in Logic Pro : )
Thank you Rentonbroadway! I've got some great ideas for song breakdowns. Hope to get to it soon. But I still need to learn Logic better. So I may do them in Ableton. But I'll try to make them work for any DAW
@@SanjayC Thank you, I appreciate it. I am sure I can google my way through Logic Pro. You do a great job giving lots of different terms that things are known for so it makes it very easy to adapt.
Just discovered this channel and getting started with Music production. This is so helpful. Thanks for that.
Thanks a lot Sanjay, I was looking out for a video like this for many days, and here I got a best one from you, pretty simple & clear info for a basic Home Studio setup. Thanks again, God bless your efforts.
Thanks so much!
One word: Amazing
This is a full video and resolve so much problems 👏
Thank you BetterWithSam!
WOW! I´m from Argentina, and after two days waching a lot of videos you explained everything (I had doubt about the conections) . THANK U !! ps: Nobody explain the connections; are so important!.
Dude! I love your vids. People forget sometimes. You show them how absolutely simple everything really is. This is something that every artistic individual should explore.
Thank you sanjay,
You help me so much with choosing right gear for me. On my wish list i have Arturia minilab mk2, motu m2, Yamaha hs5 and audio technica at2020...what do you think?
This is sometimes where people struggle the most! Great video!
Sanjay C are Mackie CR3's Better or a pair of Edifier bookshelf speakers?? Cause price wise a bookshelf speaker costs way less than the Mackie CR3's. So i have a doubt of which on to pick up...?????
I haven't tried the Edifier. I love the Mackies though
@@SanjayC oh k cool cool. Good to know the information tho. Thanks 👍🏻✌🏻
your videos are really the best in the business. def one of the best music related channels out there!! so glad i found this channel. I needed this specific video. I've also watched like ten of your videos today hahaha. keep it up man :)
Wow...thanks so much. I'm so happy you're finding them useful! :-)
Thanks Sanjay for a very decent video regarding the basics, most of which I already knew, but I'm sure helped tons of others who didn't. But I was looking for instructions on a subject that you briefly mentioned, but didn't actually touch on or explain how to do. So before I search your other videos for the proper procedure, I hope you can help me out with my current setup.
I recently purchased a terrific audio interface that has been working wonderfully to play back the patches on both my keyboard and my synth in Cubase. However, today I finally received a MIDI Host unit that I was hoping to use to play the sounds on my synth as a slave to my larger keyboard as a master. I connected everything this way: USB out from Master keyboard to USB in of MIDI Host unit; MIDI Out from Host unit to MIDI In of Interface: MIDI Out of Interface to MIDI In of Synth (Slave). However, I must have done something wrong, or missed something, because the Master keyboard is not triggering the Slave synth.
So, if you have any tips, suggestions, or advice on what I am doing wrong or need to do differently with the gear that I already have, it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, after I stop to have dinner I will check out some of your other tutorials (now that I have subscribed) to see if you have already touched on my topic. Thanks.
Dude, you're the best, just awesome. Im stuck midway with equipment i need to set up, and i believe i am missing components. Now its clarified that its the interface (peferably a bundle pack) Daw, memory and cables. Need new monitors as well. I will mos def complete my studio from your videos.
Thanks a whole lot buddy.
It's also pretty easy to build acoustic panels! I built 5 big ones for my home studio and all I used were wood, screws. rockwool insulation, some fabric and staples, they made my space sound so much better and they were really inexpensive!
Nice! I need to try that
Hi Sanjay. I was so happy yo see you using a Juno 106, my very first synth back in the 80's. It along with other keyboards has been sitting dormant for decades. I have been trying to learn how to start using it today with the new technology available. Thanks for providing the answers to help me get started!
Hi, What about connecting 4 speakers
Thanks in advance
Subbed, i used to play piano as a kid but need to relearn and figured id learn digital music in the process, (plus i already have super high end mics and pc equipment from content creation) your videos have been immensely helpful for figuring out the basics and how to get started
I love that black bay!
Thank you Fedimusic!
@@SanjayC I always wonder (about myself in the future) but I'll pass the question to you: when you plan on buying a watch isn't there a bit of a conflict in your music gear-lover head in which you think about what possible instruments you could get instead?
The best video for beginers everywhere. love you man and your videos are the best.
Thanks so much. Please share with any beginners you know.
I already knew all this but I enjoy your videos enough I watched it anyway. 😁
I appreciate that
Hello Sanjay! Thank you, this video is very clear and concise for setting up your own home studio workstation!!
Glad it was helpful!
Finally simple and straight to the point thanks bro
Thank you
