    It's an electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files primarily in music production. DAWs come in a wide variety of configurations from a single software program on a laptop, to an integrated stand-alone unit, all the way to a highly complex configuration of numerous components controlled by a central computer. Regardless of configuration, modern DAWs have a central interface that allows the user to alter and mix multiple recordings and tracks into a final produced piece.
    DAWs are used for the production and recording of music, songs, speech, radio, television, soundtracks, podcasts, sound effects and nearly any other situation where complex recorded audio is needed.

    Even though I’ve been making music for years now. This is a perfect high quality I wish I had when I was starting out. I loved how you explained everything in detail but still in a simple and digestible way for beginners. Keep the quality content my good man. 🤟🏾🙌🏾💯👏🏾

    Hi, really helpful video. If you were starting out, had some keyboards skills (ok but nothing to shout about) and owned an iPad (so I am thinking maybe garage band here) what would be a decent ‘beginners DAW setup’? What else would I need?

  • @emani2354

    Thanks for the great content you put out and explaining this! With all your music expertise, I was wondering if you know why my GarageBand vocals aren’t working correctly? I use my iPhone 11 to record on it and when I listen back to my voice, it is like a scratched record if that makes sense. At first I thought it was from a lack of storage but then I bought more storage and it’s still an issue. At one point I wouldn’t even hear my voice when I replayed although it was on sound. If you have a solution, please let me know! Keep up the good work!

    Just wondering why you use Garage Band and not Logic Pro X?

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 роки тому +5

      Ease of use and because I am working on finishing an album that I started entirely in garageband. I’d rather not mess up my creative flow in the middle of a project to try and learn a new DAW.

    Are there DAW handles and DAW hinges? I'm here to check what a DAW is, as I'm trying to figure out connecting an old MIDI keyboard or digital piano to a computer's USB. So that I can use piano tutorial software.

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  Рік тому +1

      Not sure what handles and hinges have to do with anything or if that was meant to be a joke about doors. Lol.
      As far as connecting midi to USB, just buy a MIDI to USB cable. I can’t say much beyond that because I’ve never had a need to do this as I only use regular midi controllers.

    I know that I’ve been in music production since I was 12, as I started in the summer of 2017. (I just turned 19 this past October)

  • @Musicalspecialist

    Thanks for this series, because I’m a songwriter but want to start to learn to produce. This series can really be an asset to me. A question you can add also is what type of laptop to get ( mainly the specs) are certain specs important for music production ?

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 роки тому

      ua-cam.com/video/t2OX_obCUH0/v-deo.html already did a video on that.
      Specs you wanna pay attention to is the ram and processor. More ram = better (8gb or more). Processor needs at LEAST 4 cores. Released within the last 5 years I’d say.

      IAMLXGEND one, what’s your IG, two, on GarageBand, I have a 14 day free trial for the Anteres auto tune plug in but don’t know how to use it. Could you either make a video on it, or explain how to use this plug in properly ? Thanks !

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 роки тому

      1. Same as my UA-cam: @iamlxgend
      2. I don’t have Antares nor have I ever used it so I wouldn’t know. I use wavestune.

    God bless you for this. Please do a video on Synths and Presets. What is serum, massive, omnisphere and the likes. Please break it down. I am a beginner producer and I honestly don't understand those things. I just know that I will make drums, add chords and melody and that's all. I get my samples from splice and loop master, but I am yet to understand the place of synths, and serum, massive etc. that everyone keeps talking about.

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 роки тому

      I don’t have all of those programs nor have I ever used them to know how to break them down. I Only have massive. Just did a video on Pigments and basic synth design here: ua-cam.com/video/on6HGH8tAlQ/v-deo.html
      There’s nothing really to know about presets. It’s just an already-created sound you don’t do anything to. Just pick it and start playing. You’re probably referring to sound design. Of which I speak about in that video. But not in depth.

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 роки тому

      I will make on on the basic terminology of all that. But not in depth as even I am confused by some aspects of synth design. Andrew Huang is who you’ll want to watch for super specifics.

    How do you switch from making music on a computer vs performing live if you’ve used a DAW?

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  День тому

      What do you mean? Like using live instruments or playing your studio productions at the live show?
