The intros always makes me smile :D
keep the good work wavyyy
this video is 100 %🔥 , the way you explained the differences of all 3 devices saves time and money for beginners or anyone planning to work with music equipment , hope you do much more videos ..... wish i found this video when i started recording a few years back .
Dude, this is probably the first time ever I found the exact anwer to my question in the first video I clicked on. Thank you for that.
And also, very nice intro.
Thank you Wayne for always answering questions in my head💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Love me some Wavy Wayne! He cuts through the jargon and explains things clearly.
Always resourceful. Preciate u wav3!! 🙏🏼
Thank you for this video! I'm in the process of trying to build my own in home studio and this helped alot!
You never disappoint bro!! Great information. 💪🏾🔥
Thank you for this video. You clearly explained all of this! Very Helpful
Your videos bring me joy AND knowledge. The best.
🙏🏽💯
Ayye mane, thanks for the game 💯💎
Thanks for the info Wayne. You seem like a real cool Brother. Blessings and much success to ya!
Great video duderino! Thank you!

Thank you. Nice and clear
You doing a good jobbboss keep up the great work and thx
This was super helpful. Thanks
this was informative and straight to the point.
Thank you
💯
This video made me subscribe gret information in such a small amount of time bang for your time literally! Keep up the videos!
Really well articulated. I nearly bought a big-ass mouse, thinking it was a mixer.
Straight and too the point my man. Thanks!
I Really liked your explanation! Thanks!
Wayne, thanks for explaining the differences
Big respect for knowledge sharing ❤
Thanks Wavy!
thank you for this video, wayne
Keep up the good work bro bro!!!
Thank you. Very helpful.
This video is what I needed 😈
Well explained, very helpful!
Very helpful and informative. Thank you!
Thanks ,you explained to where this 76 year old man understands .Love “ it’s nothing more than a big ass mouse” that puts it in perspective. Again thanks. I’m using a zoom r16 as a recorder of my two keys and vocal and as a mixer to my pa and also as a surface controller into my Linux computer and ardor as my daw. It works flawlessly. Today I added a zoom l12 but it doesn’t work as a surface controller on as a recorder and interface. Again thanks
U help me a lot fr bro
Every time I think my Mackie monitors aren’t as good as I thought. I see other producers I admire using them and it makes me appreciate them more!!
Bro your special keep teaching us!!
Nice video bro... I like your style... 👍
I am the proud owner of the Beringer Xenyx.x1222 I also connected a Focusrite 2i2 with the BOSS DR-880 drum machine.. my monitors are the M-Audio BX5a's My keyboard is a Casio WK-6600 it's a great system.. Now my Mic's are Cad GXL2400 and the MXL770 plus I also use Shure SM58..for some vocals in my walk in closet full of clothes..
Mixer: for live stuff like a band or other sound related gear. Can use to mix in studio but will add unique color
Control surface: just a piece of gear like a midi keyboard, used to map digital controls; three types (motorized/unmotorized/Digital, think iPad or slate) coolest feature you can ride the fader while automating
Interface: only a few like UAs Apollo offer dope controls. Not all interfaces have the same parameters
For a long time I wanted to buy a controller but the price of them aren’t worth it in my opinion. I have an m-audio 61 key with a fader on the side. I map the fader to control the fader in my daw. From there I use that one fader to level all my tracks. Not as fancy but it gets the job done. You can use your mouse just as well 🤙
I wish I woulda seen this monthssss ago, it woulda saved me so much confusion🤣.
great video man. wish Id have watched this a day ago.....
Could you please do a video, taking us through what equipment you have in the studio that is recommended for recording and production.
Like the equipment on the stand near your computer.
Thanks
Very helpful. Thanks! 👍🏻
please do a review on what you have on your desk. I would definitely like to see how well your faderport works in logic to be specific..there is not alot out there on it with logic. How you set it up. How well it works all that. As always I appreciate you brotha
Thank you for this video its opening up new possibilities for my Hybrid setup. Was hoping to ask a question about a possible mixer/midi/audio interface combo. My current setup is a MPC2500 as my main sequencer, SP1200, launchpad Mk37, Model 12 all running into Ableton Lite. I want to keep my MPC as a main controller sequencer with master midi into Ableton for tracking, (stems, mastering) purposes. Alot of my tracks have more than one sequence (some at different tempos) that's why I have the MPC 2500 as the Master sync.
I bought the Model 12 thinking I would be able to solve all of this, but just learned the Model 12 only sends MIDI out (and has a MIDI in port unused? unfortunately smh).
My ideal workflow is to be able sample, make beats on MPC and SP, Use the Launchkey as a MIDI keyboard for Ableton and a Proteous 2000 and being able to seamlessly track everything into Ableton with MPC as the sequencer. Huge Bonus if I can resample from the PC back into MPC (online samples).
Unfortunately the Model 12 is not cutting it as an audio interface and the DAW control is very lacking. I might have to re-sell this unless I am doing something wrong.. What would be the setup / gear you recommend for this?
Should I just purchase a Focusrite into a regular USb mixer (Yamaha mgu12 for example) or is there a hybrid Mixer with Audio and especially midi inputs/outputs just like the Focurite that can solve this entire workflow?
I really appreciate the videos and any tips advice is greatly appreciated!
I like the way Wayne explains things. I would like to see his explanation of why the need for 2 sets of monitors.
in the video posted before this one he gets into it a little cuz he’s reviewing those new mackie monitors with the green trim that u can see in the background of this video.
You’re too cool. Thanks for da info. 🎶
Your video is very good because if you are new to sound recording kit it is a mine feild.
Sweetwater rocks! Thanks for the video, I was about to by gear I didn't need, I 'm a total nube.
That big ass mouse has moving faders and rock solid automation too bro don't forget to mention that.
Presonus io24c is an interface and mixer faderport in one👌🏾👌🏾 cost around 300 and I love it
Good stuff!!!
Certainly your mixer provides L/R stereo out, but does the USB port on the Behringer provide all 8-channels out (so you can track each channel separately in your DAW) or is the USB port providing a stereo mix out?
could you possibly do a tutorial on the faderport? i just purchased the fp8 because of this video
Very interesting, thank you
Does the Behringer mixer out allow each input channel to be put on a separate recording track to enable individual track adjustments after recording? Or is it a stereo out that can be put on two tracks?
Thank you!! This helped this rookie recording guy...
I can't sleep thinking about this. I wanna get the tascam model 12 to use as an interface but also to mix with, and I don't mean live mix. Any idea if I will be able to set the outputs say voc to 1-2 on the mixer and maybe guitars to 3-4 and just adjust the faders when I want to hear more or less of serving when I am going through the production process?
When you mentioned Sweetwater you forgot to include they send a great little bag of candy.
And it’s good candy not bullshit 🤞🏾
@@dbdstroke she twerking
My husband orders from sweetwater couple of times a month and my kids always look forward to those bag of candies
My momma said never accept candy from strangers
LoL....but is true they are the best.
Wavey bruh I just picked up my StudioLive 32SC today! 😅
Nice job for me who don’t know anything about recording mixers
Hi Wayne, Thanks for the video! Very informative. I am Nadia from Canada, trying to set up a home Voice Over Studio and still confused if I need only an interface or need to get the combo Interface-Mixer? I would appreciate your input. What I want to do is to record Audio-Books in French. I am not expert but I am trying also to find a good Voice-Over Coach to teach me how to that properly....Thanks! Nadia
Helpful. Can you recommend an affordable powered mixer that I can use with my passive speakers?
I just subscribed man! Great info! My question is, I have a Mackie 32.8 mixer, Volt 276 interface and a Mackie LOGIC Universal Controller Control Surface. Can all 3 be used simultaneously? I wasn't sure how to chain them if so. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you!
p.s. I will get something like an Orion 32 for My 32.8 later.
Peace wavy love your channel how do hook up my fader port 16 to luna I'm running a apollo x4 with luna exclusive plug-ins too anyways I'm hearing it doesn't have control surface support yet
Can you do a video on how to get your vocal chain for all daws setup I previously bought but can’t get it to work
Can you use a mixer and control surface together for their respective benefits?
Also second question... is there a a mixer that does the same functions as a control surface?
looking at that X1222...can you track out each channel to different channels in your DAW, or are all channels combined into the master output? i'm planning to record a friends band but want to mix down each element separately after recorded...
I appreciate you Brother
WAVY WAYNE + SWEETWATER = 🔥💯
What about the bags of candy? Lol 🙌🏾 🍫🍬🍭 I love that about sweetwater. Great vid very informative.
I have a mixer similar to that and because I do live setups i connect the mixer to the audio interface
I agree Sweetwater got that Chick-fil-A customer service that make me keep coming back lol it's all good lol 🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
Can you use the zoom for live daw loopback in order to use effect presents live with vocal and guitar . I am talking about using computer as effects processor live with the zoom . Or an audio interface external card is better for that ??? Thanks
What up WAYNE... ? I have a tascam dm3200 I also like the apollo heritage mk11, I also have a dbx mic pre. Is there a way to incorporate all these in my work flow? Also another question if I use the phantom power on my mic pre do I need to turn it on on my console 🤔 or the apollo? What is the wavy way? My daw is pro tools or logic 🤔 am I using overkill? Can u help ?
Appreciate that I I’m going to get that Roland aira MX-1 you know anything about that joint
I'm searching for a comparably priced surface controller for use in FL Studio. I'm using my fader's and knobs on my Akai 249 for my mixer at the moment but would really like something with motorized faders. Can you recommend something that won't break the bank?
hey bro Wayne can you use the small interface with the control surface to record a guitar or keyboards?
" Thank-You Wayne ! "
Nice one
Would you prefer the Universal x6 compressor you have??? or the WA 76 compressor???
thanks wayneeee
I say Mixer hands down.......That XENYX X1222 looks sweet....lots of everything
Loving the way you present a potentially difficult topic, thanks. Subscribed today. I am at the decision making process right now as to which method to fly with. A curve ball is the TASCAM Model 12 which is a Hybrid of the control surface and Mixer. I just wondered what your thoughts are on this before I purchase. Thanks, Peter.
How does the presonus work for plugins Or is it volume/fader control only ?
Are the control surface specific for DAWs ? Can i use on external plugins, like Serum or Pigments ?
Great content bruh. Would love to hear your opinion on summing boxes like Dangerous 2Bus and SPL Mixdream XP. I'm all ITB and I wanted to know if I would gain anything or if its the law of diminishing returns?
I just got a Neve summing mixer. Check my last couple videos.
@@waynewav just watched it. I think I'm just excited as you and its not even mine lol. Can't wait to see you in action with it. I might lean that way as well.
im trying to step up from the mbox 3 pro , but not spend a lot of money. What interfaces should i be looking at ???
So do these mixers and surface control interfaces that you use work just like the bigger ones that they use in a professional studio
Blessings bro
Yo, thank you for the video. For me as a Beatboxer who´s starting in mixing your content is really helpfull. I have a lil question out of the topic here? Do you .now if Pro Tools works with the new M1 chips from Mac?
I´m looking for a new computer/mac. Know that the new cpu generation from mac is out and way more cheap then the intel mac´s before, i am really thinkin about getting a mac mini. But i read about the fact that a lot of software will not work in the beginning, cause they have to write the program in a different way. So do you know anything about the compability of pro tools with the new m1 chips?
Best greetz from Berlin, Germany
It’s not yet supported for the M1. you will have to wait for avid to release a supported version. They Don’t have an update for supporting Big Sur Intel versions either but for that it at least says “coming soon”. M1 update is much further away.
Ah man youze is some gangsta mixer!
How do you connect your four monitors together, if I'm using an audio interface and a controller
Love your channel ❤️. Am wondering if i want to output the channel for each instrument from ezdrummer 3 to Studio one 6 because after 16 channels i mean from 1/2 until 31/32 i dont have more channels. As Studio one 6 has 16 channel limit and the ezdrummer 3 mixer has mor than 16 channels..thank you a lot love and peace ✌️ ❤️ 💙
Damn ...they got that CHICK-FIL-A service!🔥🔥🔥😂😂😅
You're dope brother
Thanks fam.
