How I make my YouTube Videos Part 02

[MusicByEdwin]

hi! hast du eigentlich das Videobearbeitungsprogramm gekauft oder irgendwo heruntergeladen? den das programm das du benutzt kostet richtig viel!!

[xuan8839]

whats a good recommendation for video editing ? Whats the one used here?

[bluedog916]

i got a few questions and i need answers quick my first question is what software do you use for the drums and is it free to download if it is can i have a link please thanks my second question is how would you create a beat with the drums and save it to put on to videos and my third question is is it hard to do it all thx if you could answer these ASAP please before christmas and could you make a tutorial video covering all this i said please thanks

[tanky666hate]

man, can you tell my about programming the drum machine? I'm practice me about recording guitars and bass,now i really need drums!

btw, you rule!

[OurSoundStudio]

hi schehf i'm learning to use cubase.....i have a question, when u record, for example, the first guitar do you use to play a singol riff and then paste and copy....like a loop....to make the riff's song always the same...or play the entire song with no pause? Thank you!

[schehf]

@OurSoundStudio

Normally I record the whole song and then punch in where I made mistakes.

[OurSoundStudio]

@schehf Ok thank you :) will do more practice with cubase

[YAGGAAA]

Vielen dank ;D

du sprichst gut englisch ! Mach weiter so ;)

\m/

[GhettoPunktual]

i have ux2 as well just bought the metal shop and it is very nice but how do u get it to where u cant hear when im sweeping playing metal. i can hear it and it dosn't sound right,is there a way to get it sounding where u hear just the recorded guitar and not the sound when my pic makes contact with the strings?

[Deadshadow16]

hey again, do you do anything special to record the sound? because I dont think the sound of the distortions are getting natural... I record it and they not sound like yours... Im also afraid that it could be from my pickups but maybe not.

The sound I listen it's better than the record... the recording program its important due to the sound quality record?

thanks schehf

[skaplis]

yeah, pickups are important too, but the thing why Schehf's videos sound so good, is because he's an audio engineer, he can make professional sounding stuff at home.

it's all about the production

[22david05]

Hi, finde deine Videos einfach wahnsinn! Die besten covers auf YouTube!

Zwei Fragen: Weißt du zufällig, ob es auch freeware Programme gibt, mit denen man so ein splitscreen-Video machen kann?

Und ich finde die Videos ziemlich cool, in denen man dich zwei mal im gleichen Raum sieht... Darf ich fragen, wie das geht? Einfach 2 Videos gemacht und die dann ineinander gezogen?

Grüße^^

[schehf]

Danke,

Nein, das weiß ich nicht ob es eine Freeware für splitscreen gibt.

Der andere Effekt wird mit einer Spurmaske gemacht.

[22david05]

Vielen Dank! =)

[99torres99]

It is only the monitoring that doesn't work, if i put it on an existing track it works perfectly.

[99torres99]

Hi, I really like your videos a lot. You are really great.

And 1 question.

I use Cubase, with amplitube, it worked for a long time, but when i use it on insert now, it doesn't change the sound anymore. The program just opens. It doesn't show anything on the input. Do you have an idea what's wrong?

Thanks

[samymasta]

@99torres99 I recommend you to simply re install the program :)

[dororosXlove]

btw that seems compicated O.O

[dororosXlove]

well i thought u could help me film games like u no mmvs cuz im bad i tried once total mess

[Avenged7892]

so is he basically playin the guitar clean along with the pre recorded track for video's sake?

[schehf]

Like in a music Video too.

The song is already recorded and I play along to that.

I just don't like the horrible sound videos on youtube.

That's why I do it this way.

[Avenged7892]

okay cool thanks man. I didn't mean any disrespect you're an awesome guitarist and I like your recording thats why I asked.

[TheEspeclipse]

Hello schehf, do you use cool edit for the mix??

[schehf]

No, only for the master cut, so ending fade out, normalize and mastering compressor.

[BASKETBALLLEBRONRULE]

you could make up heaps and heaps of songs on that but where do u download it from? plz get back 2 me

[99torres99]

how do you open the guitar program inside cubase?

I want to open guitar rig inside cubase, but cant figure it out.

[schehf]

I don't gearbox from line6 works outside of cubase.

Guitar rig is a VST plugin.

Just put it in the insert of an audio track

and your clean recorded or monitored guitar

sound will change like you edit it in the

guitar rig software.

[na18sym]

What plugins do you use to get the sound from ez drummer without any latency?

[hadrian4fun]

Hi I instaled cubase Sx3 and I dont know how I put drums to some track there .... I have Ezdrums too but I cant make song .... please help me :)

[Rocky3893]

Hi schehf!

ich hab mal eine Frage..

ein Freund von mir und ich wollten uns EZ Drummer kaufen...

und ich wollte fragen ob man das Programm ohne CD starten, denn dann könnten wir uns den Preis teilen, oder muessen wir uns beide kaufen?

Danke im Vorraus!

Deine Videos sind echt SUpER

[schehf]

Das funktioniert nicht mit CD, sondern mit einer Seriennummer.

[ydidntIthinkofthat]

you got some serious money, may i ask what you do for a living?

[schehf]

Money, why, nothing too expensive here.

I am an audio engineer.

[ydidntIthinkofthat]

i guess its nothing too expensive if your an audio engineer.

[slayerxv]

w8 what is the thing you use for recording

[botiench]

Bravo!Yours covers videos are the best on youtube.Could you tell me the secret to send videos with stereo mix on youtube?

I post to them videos with stereo but after they put them in mono.Maby you could help me.Thanks a lot.Cheers from Paris.

Tibo

[schehf]

There was a time, when uploaded it in flv format it was stereo. Not anymmore. Youtube changed that.

Nowadays, upload it normally and an hour later or so if you add this "&fmt=18" to the video link, it is stereo.

[botiench]

Thanks for your answer.:-)

See you soon on YouTube

You're an amazing guitar player.

Tibo

[majsterxxx]

hi! what is the name of the software what you are using for video editing?

[schehf]

Adobe Premiere Pro

[majsterxxx]

thx

[slashwalter]

how would you put your music on your myspace?

[msguitar87]

which effects you apply on the guitar track after the fade out?

thanks

[schehf]

Normalize, then Waves L3 Ultramizer.

[r95081]

really a nice recording lecture! now it's much easier to me than knowing nothing to make a in flames cover. :D

[spidermanxl88]

Hey man...

Is it a plugin you use, for mixing it all together? I have SX3 myself. But never find that "Mixing console" you got?

[schehf]

Thats the normal mixer in cubase.

Every cubase version has it.

[bobbyusoa]

are you german?.. you sound it

[schehf]

Yep.

[RoyG214]

First of all, I love your work. You have one hell of a studio going there.Expensive but worthwhile. Second, Is this a hobby for you? Or your profession?

[schehf]

Both

[JHHfin92]

In overall, how much does your all recording software cost?

[schehf]

the software is the most expensive part.

Let's say: much.

[BASBERT]

very nice. what plugins do you use on the drums to get it to sound so tight? and also, could you maybe upload a sample, mp3 file you made using that setup and upload it somewhere so i can get a grip of the quality, cause i'm bying a toneport soon =) youtube sound quality aint the greatest

[SanguiniusFJK]

hi

mein recording equip sieht ca genauso aus aber eine frage zu gearbox: wenn ich bass aufnehme dann dröhnt das bei mir immer =( würde gern ma wissen was da bei deinen vids für einstellungen für den bass sind (also in gearbox)

danke schonma im voraus ;)

[schehf]

Mal einen anderen Bass benutzt.

Bei mir dröhnt gar nichts.

Egal welchen Bass Amp ich benutze.

Ich benutze den 1989 Eighties Amp.

[monsterofrock911]

hey dude, great vids, keep it up! I just have a question about EZDrummer, where did you purchase yours and how much was it? I can't seem to find it. Thanks

[schehf]

We have a internet music dealer here in germany called Thomann:

EZDrummer: 150 Euro, dfh addon: 80 Euro

[kempfun]

how do you get your vidoes from Cubase into a mp3 or wav form?

[schehf]

video has nothing to do with cubase.

I only record audio with cubase, after finishing recording. I film me play to that recorded song.

[j0nta]

Hello there :)! i just bought myself a toneport ux 2 and have cubase to but i experience like one second delay in cubase when i play my guitar have u had the same problem i know about the latency problem but since u can record without problems in cubase i think i should be abel to do it myself =/ tho it works if i mute the sound in cubase and only hear the sound from gearbox while recording there's no delay :S U have any tip

[schehf]

You only can use the monitor function in cubase with another soundcard. The toneport has over 33 ms latency. Only use the normal gearbox sound and record. If you are recording with another but good soundcard (like RME...) you won't hear latency.

[Metalfan757]

Ah alright, I guess I'll make things a LOT easier on myself if I just try and do full song takes. Thanks a ton for the replies!

[Metalfan757]

And when I say "Every time I recorded audio" I meant video

[schehf]

Of course I have to sync all the videos to the audio.

All of them.

But I don't film parts.

Only through the whole song.

So I have to sync every perspective only once.

All manually.

I don't have the movie equipment to get a

timecode on my cam so it is automatically sync

in premiere.

[Metalfan757]

Question for ya Schehf....with Adobe Premiere can you record your videos on a timeline in sync with the song, or do you just record the video parts individually and sync them manually? Caus I must say... I just did a video and it was hell at times to try and sync individual recordings with the audio.

[schehf]

Like you see in the video.

I first record the whole song.

Then film me with a cam playing to that song.

Then I import the video of the cam and the audio track, sync them. Thats it.

[Metalfan757]

Hmm to be more specific, I meant when you record the video, is it syncing to the timeline, or do you go in later and move the video manually so the movements in the video match the audio? For example, I recorded a song, and then later started recording audio for it. However, every time I recorded audio, it was a file I'd not only have to input into the video software, but I'd also have to find through a tedious process where that video would have to be placed on the timeline.

[theblackpacomurder]

hours and hours of fun n_n

[Vaaleriiee69]

SOOOOOOOOOO COOMMPLiiCATTEDD ! =O

[musiciankid89]

Could you label me the equipment you use.

It'll make it easier for me to understand what to buy all together.

Thanks :)

[schehf]

You can see that in the description of my newest videos.

[KalmaH9225]

is it the same program when you record and at 1:38 when you equalize?

[schehf]

It is all in the same software, the DAW.

Cubase. But the EQ and other fx are VST PlugIns.

I bought them. The included plugins of cubase are grap.

[KalmaH9225]

thank you dude ;p

[zebric]

hey is it possible to use guitar pro midi files for the drums with cubase?

when i do so i can only hear the metronome.what is going wrong?

[schehf]

Of course. export from GuitarPro the midi file.

Import it in Cubase and route to the device you want it to be played.

[fleischwurst90]

Do you use EQ and Compressor from Cubase or another one?

[schehf]

Others. The Cubase ones are not sounding good.

[fleischwurst90]

are they free?

[schehf]

No, good EQs and compressor are not free.

[fleischwurst90]

Ok I thought so! Can you tell me the names or are they secret? ;-)

[thshit]

We in the school pc we are useful. Premiere Pro 2.0 we cut the videos. The data of the machines of the school the next ones : 1Terra HDD , 2 GB DDR2 , CPU only so much I know about the fact that he is 2 core and INTEL...

For the potential lingual mistakes SORRY!!!

DANIEL FROM BUDAPEST

[thshit]

win. XP

2 Core CPU

1 or 2 GB DDR1 or DDR2

[schehf]

win xp, quadcore 3,2 ghz, 4 gb RAM DDR2

With that machine you can't get cubase to its limits with normal mixing.

[lespaul2223]

do you use vista?

if so, is there a reason you chose windows of mac?

thanks alot

[schehf]

No Vista sucks at recording cause it uses to much RAM. And the old Cubase SX3 didn't support Vista. The new Cubase 4.1 is vista compatible.

We tried a mac and used Logic.

But it has no advantage for us. It is only expensive.

So I am using a windows pc.

When you are using pro tools you need a mac, otherwise there is no need.

[scotty6776]

Ok.. Question time haha.

What do you suppose is your favorite In Flames Song / Album?

[schehf]

song to play: My sweet shadow

song to hear: move through me (new one)

album: colony

[zelos666]

Great video.

Is there any way to change the drummaps for EZDrummer? I'd like to make my drums with Guitar Pro and then import the midi in Cubase and one of the Crash Cymbals becomes a Hi-Hat every time...

Oh, and when I import midis, the volume seems to be on it's maximum before it's even loud...could you help me with that?

[schehf]

The first one: No, but you can select all that hits by pressing CTRL on the piano view in the midi editor and drag it to the right position. The seond one: is a matter of the midi file sysex Data. In there the one who created the midi file, can set Volume, programmchange and so on. You have to open the midi file and erase all that. It is beneath the midi notes in the editor, where you adjust the velocity. You can set the parameters for other things and delete them.

[zelos666]

That really helped me a lot. Thanks!

[LabourUnion08]

Hi Schehf! Since you programm the drum tracks I wanted to ask how do you program tracks for different in flames songs? Are you just using your ears and then making a track through EZ drummer or you just look at the Guitar pro drum file and then make a drum track?Thanks.

[schehf]

On the oldest ones I programmed them myself like I thought it should be.

Then I used some drumtracks from gp files, but adjusted them, cause most of them had

wrong parts in them.

But on the last ones, since ASOP, I import the

original audio file, syncronize it with cubase

and programm the drums part by part as exact as I can.

[pisflea]

a quick questionm, bro

which program are you using to program the drums? because i see that around 0:40 you start marking where you want each part sound, like you would do in fruityloops... but i know that ain't fruityloops... so please, which program are you using?

[schehf]

Steinberg Cubase SX 3

[pisflea]

damn, sorry for that haha, should've seen it coming. how do i get into the drums edition screen? because the only thing i can do i just set a channel to use the drums... but i can't get to edit it... please?

pz

[schehf]

Create a midi track, send it to your vst drum programm. Take the pen, paint an event in the midi track, double click it, and paint your drumhits.

But if you don't know this, you never used

a Recording software ever.

Try using the cubase help.

[prithvirp]

cool!

[lespaul2223]

would you say for recording real instruments, not virtual, that cubase sx is better than se?

thanks

[schehf]

real instrument sound more realistic, but are harder to get a good sound.

Never tested Cubase SE, but SX is more pro.

[lespaul2223]

thank you

[Merrick1990]

hey i need this software. make drums sound how name this program? :)

[schehf]

Toontrack EZDrummer with dfh AddOn.

[lespaul2223]

hey where can I buy the software you are using?

I cant find it anywhere!

thanks

[schehf]

Steinberg Cubase can be bought in every music store and online at steinberg com.

[kryptic666]

I was gonna post it here, but I just sent you a message.

[puxafrango666]

thankz man =]

[puxafrango666]

you can use this live?is possible?

[puxafrango666]

this question is for part one, sorry!

[schehf]

If you use a PC and the toneport.

You can use it live.

But it is very uncomfortable.

And switching sounds takes 2 seconds.

[raybaro]

Hey schehf, I have a some questions about mixing.

What are the volumes you use for your tracks (drums, bass, guitar)?

For guitars I usually have them at 6-7 db's and my music sounds very weak.

When you double the guitars, do you just duplicate the track or actually record it again?

Cheers from US/Mexico

[schehf]

You can't say what volumes every track is. Cause that is always different. Every song is different. It's just a matter of taste and hearing.

When you duplicate a Mono track and pan them Left and right, you will get mono sound too, only 3 db louder.

The Stereo effect comes from recording the same thing twice. Cause you play very little differences and your ears can hear that.

Try it out.

[raybaro]

Thank you, I will give it a try.  I usually duplicate the track and never do it twice. I will try it today

[schehf]

Again, duplicating does nothing with the sound.

Only makes it louder.

Except you move one a little bit.

[raybaro]

Do you keep the same settings for the guitar or do you make a whole different one to double it?

[Reflectivv]

So..Do you actually master the whole song out of cubase or single tracks with a bit different mastering and then mix them again? Do you use EQ:s for the track and how about compression or so? Even though I've tried to play with your patches the quitar sound is not quite the same. (Well x3 has a bit different sound but anyways :) ) And any vst effects for quitars in cubase?

[schehf]

I record all the tracks (guitars, bass, drums) in Cubase, put vst plugins (Eqs and compressors) on them. On the guitar only a EQ, just a little High Cut. Most effects on the drums.

And then mix the whole thing.

When it is done. I bounce it to one stereo file and master that.

The sound of the patch course differs when you

use another guitar or strings.

[Reflectivv]

Yep ok thanks :)

[chatrasalsingh1989]

hey im going to buy Line 6 TonePort GX , cause thats the only one in my budget right now , i want to only record guitars right now , also if i record guitars what file will it be saved on , i want to know if it saves in mp3 so that i can mix both later

[schehf]

Saved File?

You play with your guitar in the Toneport

and the sound is via Asio Driver played in your recording software. In that recording software you choose in what format the sound will be stored.

In my case it is cubase and I record only in wav, cause it is uncompressed and better to work with.

[blahman178]

IS that cubase hard to use?

[schehf]

Like every software, you have to get used to it. I don't find it that hard.

[EviLinaCloset91]

sorry but how do u make for the distortion sounds good in the recording?

[schehf]

The sound comes from the toneport.

After the recording I do nothing with guitar sound.

[EviLinaCloset91]

Hi why program you use to record the guitars?

[schehf]

Like said: Steinberg Cubase SX 3.11

[Apothis]

schehf, what tone port do you recommend? I know theres a few out there. I'm interested in getting one, but I dont want to get something too lowrate that I'll have to upgrade soon

[schehf]

Software is all the same, there are just hardware differences:

GX: only guitar

ux1: guitar, one mic

ux2: guitar, two mics

ux8: guitar, eight mics

kb37: guitar, keyboard, two mics.

[Apothis]

When you say guitar, does that include bass aswell? Sorry for all the questions..How much (roughly) did yours cost? It seems to have the components I'm looking for, though 2 mics doesnt really seem to be my concern

[schehf]

Yes bass too. All you plug in as an instrument.

Mine cost 200 $.

[raybaro]

schehf, I've seen this video many times and all I could say is thanks. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

1. When you use GuitarPro for drum tracks do you export them as midi and just drag them to the track in the DAW?

2. When you were talking in your video about drums you said something about using many plugins. Where you talking about plugins in EZDrummer?

[raybaro]

Btw, have you tried the POD X3, I just bought one and it is great. The dual tone is awesome but can be a pain.

Thanks for taking the time and have a good one.

[schehf]

Nope.

I tried the Vetta II once.

I wasn't very impressed.

Sounded not better than my toneport.

Nothing for live sound for me.

[raybaro]

I have not tried the Vetta, for live they have the Pod X3 Live but it has many bugs though that will hopefully get resolved with the update.

I want to try the new Spider Valve

[schehf]

1. export from guitar pro, import in cubase.

2. No, plugins on the ezdrummer, not in.

I use Compressors and eqs on the individual tracks of the ezdrummer.

[raybaro]

2. Do you mean eq's for ind. tracks as one for kick, snare, toms etc etc.

[schehf]

Yep.

[raybaro]

Thanks for the info

one last question if you don't mind.

When I import the drum midi track (from Guitar pro) into Reaper (my daw), the dynamics seems to change for some reason. I need to raise the volume a lot to fix this. How do you it?

Sorry for all the questions

[schehf]

It can be that the one who created the Guitarpro file has done some midi volume changes and something like that.

But I never had that in a drumtrack, only in

synth tracks.

[TravelerNTime]

Did you record two rhythm guitar tracks, why?Like your videos.Peace.

[schehf]

It's a common technique in rock music recording.

To get a deeper stereo sound.

You record the rhythm twice.

Pan one to the left and one to the right.

Watch my newest videos then you can hear what I mean. Cause they are in stereo.

You can hear both guitars.

[kinslayer120]

Nice;) thanks:)

[eclps3]

VERY CLEVER. NICE.

[wildchild730]

to triplexcel

I had the same troubles with cubase. i fixed it by going into the devices tab

then device setup

then in the little side menu you should see VST audio bay

click on that, and change ASIO multimedia driver or whatever, to ASIO TonePort UX2

it worked for me, hope it works for you :)

[triplexcel]

hey, for some reason i can't get cubase to record my guitar, but it can record on Ableton Live. i even have my computer sounds coming out of my toneport ux2 but cubase can't record my guitar..maybe you can help?

thanks

[asnowmonkey]

would like to know more about the video codec, file size and format that you upload to youtube. your videos are loading and streaming nice and quick

[schehf]

No No, every video on youtube streams the same,

cause when you upload your video it will always be converted to a Flash Video, specified format, I don't know, Mono.

In the past I uploaded Mpeg2 DVD files, cause I used them at home too.

But now I upload Flash Video files already, cause they are smaller and uploading is faster.

[BedofRazors5464]

Could you possibly explain to me what drum machine you use and how it works? Do I actually have to own any kind of drum set? Or is it just all programmed?

[caltrof]

Oh and one more thing. When mastering a track how do you raise volume without distorting the sound?

[schehf]

I'm using the loudness VST PlugIn

Waves L3 Ultramizer.

Great Loudness without distortion.

[screamokill]

what programmes does it work with?

[schehf]

It's a VST PlugIn.

You can use with every Host Application

which supports VST.

[caltrof]

Can I ask you about the monitors you use? BTW I really enjoy your videos. I also have a toneport it's really good but I rarely record cause I'm so lazy :)

[schehf]

These are Yamaha NS 10. I like them.

They have a little less low frequencies

but are perfect for mixing.

[theboarder]

Ich versteh den Namen nich genau vom Videobearbeitungsprogramm...Wi­e heißt des genau? Adobe... ?

[fender101punk]

I want to get a line 6 toneport but is that all I need to make good songs?

or do I need to buy other programs?

[schehf]

I thought I described this in these two videos:

For the guitar sound I only use the Toneport.

Ableton live is included for recording,

but I use something else. (Cubase SX 3.11)

For Drums you need a VST Instrument or a Sampler and the samples.

And for a good mix you need VST PlugIns.

[fender101punk]

ya sorry about that, but you have an accent and sometimes it's hard to understand.

so, on the toneport, can you use drum presets or something? I was talking to someone else on the net and he made a bunch of songs all from a line 6 toneport including drums but he didn't give me much detail

[theboarder]

Genious...I think I think that was very helpfull ^^ Thx

[bluie3]

This video is awesome!!

I am also currently studying at SAE in Australia.

i was wondering what the name of the song which you are playing is. And what tuning you use.

[schehf]

I used dropped A# Tuning.

Thats just improvised to show recording.

[alexandermafi]

It was very impressive to see how you work with this stuff! You mentioned that you used some plug-ins so therefore I wonder what plug-ins? :)

[gothfinger]

U can download it for free tho

[tsebba]

You should play In flames - Suburban me

[guitarist595]

how much was this software i really want it

[schehf]

Cubase? 700 Dollars

with PlugIns much more.

[Skelektons91]

he is the best guy on YouTube!!

[wonstah]

can i have your babies also

[giroshima]

5 stars mate for this
