This may be the best audio video I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Major props to you sir for the advice. Also the one about just restarting things is GOLD. The amount of times restarting the daw or the interface has immediately fixed the problem is almost all of the times and nothings feels worse than trying a bunch of other things for a simple reset to solve the issue 😅
Straight up real talk... I'm surprised the length of this video didn't sway me from watching it. I usually steer towards shorter videos, but I'm glad I did! Not because I learned a whole lot, I just enjoyed the vibe, and let's be honest with ourselves, we all need to be reminded of every tip in this video! Good shit, cheers ~
I could care less about your editing. This episode was FANTASTIC! Outstanding job giving out for free....problems that can and do arise and how to fix them. Wise advice my friend. Keep it up.
Great vid! RE: CD baby, don't worry still gets me too! 99% of my clients don't use it; but it's always those 1% where I need to remember; YEAP get the 44116 across! RE: Tuning drums; I alway start by tuning opposite lugs (like changing a wheel on a car). I find if you're moving the head tension any reasonable amount when you go in a circle, that tension will shift by the time you go all the way around. So instead I try to match opposing lugs to get the overall tension right; then tweak adjacent ones to match perfectly.
lol. It’s that 1%!! I was taught to do opposing when bringing up to tension. But when everything is close to go in a wheel. I’m no drummer. Just an engineer pretending to know how drums work.
I usually give a client 48/24, 44.1/16 and Mp3. It’s also worth noting that when using a lossy codec the peak level increases, so it’s always good to check those.
Just did a three song session this past weekend and changed out all the tom heads an hour before -- batter and reso. Fun. Solid knowledge of all the elements of the space you oversee is important IMO. You can not know how to keep simple 4/4 beat on a kit but you should know how to tune a snare drum. Customer service, of course -- great vid -- I like the mix of studio talk that is gear/music centric and these vids that are related to the grindy/everyday stuff that's not always funniest part. Ok, back to comping drums.
I go through this ALL THE TIME! I get messages, "hey, what the heck, they won't accept the file!". First question I ask when that happens now is, "are you using CD Baby"? Haha!!
@@RecordingStudioLoser Sigh.... haha! I work remotely mostly so I only get to talk with my clients through chat on a website most times. They don't know to tell me this info. I used to always ask but they kept getting asked why I was asking and had to explain all the time haha! So now, I just tell them to let me know if there are any issues when I send the masters.
I usually give clients a copy of a bounce for any platform they're using it on. 24/48 Master as a Master and for Video usage. 16 bit 441 for Cd quality because people still sale Cds. AAC format for 256 441 or 48 for DSP. I have to think ahead of them and explain it to them when I send off their final master.
My guy. All respect. I mean that. However, I have been doing this for over 26 years (god I’m old). I have had cases where clients have had issues with files for whatever reason similar to CD Baby. Never once have I lost a client because of it, nor was I viewed as an idiot. Every single time it has happened (I think two or three in 26 years) the client simply hit me up, explained what happened and asked if I knew what the issue was. To which I could simply say ‘oh yea it has to be this, try the master labeled (insert sample rate/bit depth, file type etc).’ And it’s been fine. It sounds like you aren’t the problem. The clients you have gotten that judge you over something that’s not your fault, are the problem. Fire those clients. Haha
@RecordingStudioLooser: If I were a client of you, I'd notice that your editing of this video wasn't on par with my expectations as at 14:49, 14:59 and 15:52 you said two sentences twice (and left them in when editing). Am I to expect that you don't double check your mixes either before you upload them? 🤔
At 14:50 I noticed you had a double take! I’m a video editor and I’d love to work with you on your UA-cam videos man! Let me know what email I can message 🙂

I'm fond of the name myself :)

Appreciate that
Great vid!

Calm, cool, confidence, even in the face of catastrophic events is always the best path. Cheers to a great video.
You have such a laid back vibe out you that I think would be infections in a professional scenario
Amazing video and energy
Fabulous advice… well done and much appreciated!

This is great advice! Sometimes we forget we're people engaging with people. Hehe.
I tried so hard not to say that in this one. I literally say that it almost every video.

Oh man. Everytime

Yup, keep a simple chart of all their specs :)
This video is great as always!!! Are the mics you using the Rode Wireless Go? If so do you have a video review on those? Thanks
These are hollyland lark 150s. I’ve had them for a couple years. No reviews. But solid little mics
@@RecordingStudioLoserthank you so much!!!

I've been hearing nothing but good things about Dial Tune snares. I've been getting rid of some extraneous to afford one. Which one did you purchase?
I got the maple. They are expensive. In a studio context it replaced so many others
@@RecordingStudioLoser I have 5 snares, 2 get used, and I personally only like one of them. Dial Tune is on the bucket list. Thanks

I don’t edit these. I just cut out silence. Keep it raw
