i got a samson c01u and im wondering what audio interface should i get that will work with this mic? its a usb mic btw... also will pro tools work? i need help im trying to have a little home studio

[OZPerpetue]

@dennisplus1 You sound like a dick really, I agree with you, and understand your point, but it seems like you wanted to sound superior, I don't even know what they originally wrote to you, but answering them that way doesn't really make you any better than them.

You could just let them know you are not poor, without showing off.

I know you probably don't care about what I tell you but it's just a suggestion, again you can just ignore it if you prefer. I don't want to fight, and won't.

[dennisplus1]

@OZPerpetue you are completely right sir. I was just really infuriated with what they were saying. I usually just shrug things off but they were getting racial and personal for no reason at all. But I should have kept my cool. thanks for the comment man. I appreciate the whipping.

[rthompson995]

seriously? srt monitor with a dual socket mac?

[dennisplus1]

@rthompson995 yeah that was a few years ago. check out the new set-up in one of my updated videos. thanks for your comment.

[Theshamham]

u shouldnt be mixing and/or monitoring with your damn stereo...

[Skeith0X]

i thought u just need a fuckin computer...and a mic...im fucked

[dennisplus1]

@Skeith0X lol . . .you don't really need all this it just makes things better. a computer some good software and a usb mic and you can do it. and if you can maybe an interface.

[Redik6]

@Skeith0X Yea dennis is right... but make sure you get a preamp! it is most important for the vocals it keeps them nice crisp and warm.

[invisiblePerson99]

hey can you PLEASE tell me what are those YELLOW sheets you put it on the wall in the recording to kill the echo and where did you get them? PLEASE RESPOND

[dennisplus1]

@invisiblePerson99 My Father found these for me IDK where. but you can find them a guitar center Sam ash craigslist . . . acoustic foam.

[benthemiester]

Small video monitor for such a big computer, but whatever works. Ever think about using real near field audio monitors? There a lot easier to mix on.

[dennisplus1]

@benthemiester well obviously you haven't seen my other updates. I have a 25" LG HD monitor now. And as far as mixing monitors I have two JBL 2325 pro monitors to mix with. watch my other videos and tell me what you think. Thanks for your comment.

[HalevG]

lol ziljian zbt's I hate those things

[dennisplus1]

@HalevG Hey man I work with what I got. sorry.

[mrcoolsites]

1:58 I gotta buncha sticks

[dennisplus1]

@mrcoolsites LOL yeah that was stupid I'll admit. haha

[mrcoolsites]

@dennisplus1 haha they work great though right?

[dennisplus1]

@mrcoolsites yup. lol

[graffunderground92]

hey i have the same mic and im about to get a mic stand but i dont have the clip or idk what it is to hold the mic. do i really need it?

[dennisplus1]

@graffunderground92 Sorry its taken me so long to reply. just buy a shock mount since you need to buy the mic clip for it. thanks for the post.

[martiallaw565]

When you record drums, how do you soundproof? Like ambient noises (footsteos, pets, ect)?

[dennisplus1]

@martiallaw565 Never had a problem with things like that. My room was pretty isolated at this house in the video. I haven't recorded any drums since my move though. But I wouldn't imagine it to be a big problem with directional mics. Thanks for the comment

[eyadmadani]

u just got all the things tht i dream of having !!

[dennisplus1]

@eyadmadani lol thanks man! and I'm still getting more haha. I just picked up the brand new Quad Core Macbook Pro today. Tomorrow I'm getting these awesome sounding JBL Studio Monitors and it just keeps growing. It just takes patience and persistance.

[DannyPolDiaz]

U know how I know ur awesome? U have the same cups we do at home lol that and u have alot of the same gear I do thumbs up bro!

[dennisplus1]

@DannyPolDiaz haha thanks man. appreciate the comment.

[DannyPolDiaz]

@dennisplus1 I want that AKG Im using an MXL 990 for now, but I got the SE electronics reflexion filter, that makes a big diff in the vocal booth I made. I like how you have 16 channels with the firepods, Im using an fp10 presonus interface I just have the 8 channels but I never need more than that

[dennisplus1]

@DannyPolDiaz yeah its been a good mic so far but It's time for me to upgrade as well. I need the 16 channels for whole band recordings. 8 for the drums, one for guitar, one for bass, one for keys, one or two for vocals and maybe another guitar. Trust me . . . I use them lol. But I'm planning on upgrading the interfaces too. Thanks for your comment man.

[DannyPolDiaz]

@dennisplus1 word, I figured you must have been recording a live band with that many I/Os, that's badass. I just do the drums first and add the rest later, I can't do it all live. Ha i noticed you have the same Kustom PA we have in our rehearsal room, we bought it like 7 years ago that thing is a beast. I'm about to get me a new ibanez, can't wait. I'm happy with my set up for now, until I start putting paychecks towards toys lol Take care bro check us out on fb, Make Them Docile

[NiiZZY619]

thumbs up for the charger cup! :D

[dennisplus1]

@TheAceOfTheCase No thank you for watching man. Soon I'll post another update I'm getting the MASCHINE, acoustic foam, and a few more things together. Again thanks for the comment.

[PlagueOfDisaster]

i got the exact same Zildjian Cymbal bag :D at 1.29

[janopiano]

cool dude, and now... get a pair of good monitors (KRK Rokit 6 G2 for example) and some foams!

[dennisplus1]

@janopiano Yeah I'm shopping for some monitors now. I don't want powered ones though. As far as foam goes it "freak'n EXPENSIVE"! lol. But my goal for this year is to get everything that's left to get to really record some good tracks.

[xXCOLS614xX]

Nice video and i got a G5 too it can help you alot

[dennisplus1]

@xXCOLS614xX thanks and yes it can until you want the new Logic and can't because youre not intel based hahahaha. Thanks for the comment.

[VilleSkateKrewRep]

Hey man, thanks for the video. I've been checking this stuff out for awhile, like how to set up a home studio and shit. One question though, how much did your drum kits mics cost all up? And is it necessary to have one for each piece of the kit? Or can i get away with having just one, even if it makes for a less crisp tone. I understand it'll probably mean that the snare/hi-hat/crash hits and whatnot will blend in a bit, but yeah, is it not too bad?

[dennisplus1]

@VilleSkateKrewRep Well if you watch my drum covers you'll actually notice I'm using a studio mic as my overhead and an SM57 for my bass drum and that's it. I have since got all the mics and can tell you the two mic set-up sound more raw and I actually like it better.

[invisiblePerson99]

i cried because all of the good programs only use for mac not for hp ;(

[posiedonpowertrio]

I've got to ask, How did you learn to mix? and if you didn't really how do you get that great studio sound?

[dennisplus1]

@posiedonpowertrio I don't know how to mix or master. Thry're just raw tracks with peaklimiter and a little eq lol. Thanks

[Chicago10281]

@dennisplus1 You ever used either a Samson mic or a Neumann mic? Nice studio, BTW! Also, you ever used Sonar 8(Producer version)or 8. 5 and you know if there's a fade out on Sonar while you're recording a song on it? Just asking, that's all! I like the drum set and guitars, too! Keep up the good work!

[jordendread]

Love Reaper.... it totally rapes ProTools.

[dennisplus1]

@jordendread Well I wouldnt go as far as saying that but Reaper is awesome

[AMichnowskisMusicM4L]

photo booth... lol

[MrAlex69ish]

i have a home studio of my own, if i were you i would put more sound pad in your booth. your vox sound pretty valveishs, which is cool in some situations but not all. i have every wall and the door in my booth padded, and theres no echo or valve sound at all, i control this on the computer. try it, egg crates work perfect, you can get plenty at wal mart cheap. but dude, nice sound overall i like it!

[dennisplus1]

@MrAlex69ish Thank for the advice man. I've actually moved since this video and haven't really set up or have a space for a vocal booth. I was thinking of get one of those sound isolators that go on the mic stand and surround the mic. We'll see what happens. I'll post the vid of the new place soon. Subscribe and you'll see it.

[sinisterpiff]

get a shockmount i got a akg 100 sounds amazing and your sound proof is good enough lol i use none listen to my song... mic in mid of room no foam at all no booth

[dennisplus1]

@sinisterpiff Sounds good man. I'm actually trying to get my hands on a Blue Bird Mic we'll see what happens. Thanks for the comment.

[only1clover]

looks good though you should really sound proof your studio

[dennisplus1]

@only1clover Yeah man been trying to save up for the acoustic foam its not cheap lol. Thanks for the comment.

[viceadmiraal61]

please next time use the camara more slow in motion....

[dennisplus1]

@viceadmiraal61 Sorry I was recording with my phone. I'll record another anyways since I moved and kinda am set up differenty. Thanks for the comment

[TheFreemi]

What was the software you use?

[dennisplus1]

@TheFreemi Hey what's up man. I use a few different programs but if you're talking about the free one it's called REAPER. You can find it at "reaper.fm" Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment.

[TheFreemi]

@dennisplus1 thanks for the help man. you got a nice set up.

[dennisplus1]

@TheFreemi Thanks I'm trying hahaha. Takes a lot of time and money.

[TheFreemi]

What was the software and where can i get it?

[dennisplus1]

@guitar6059 Lol. I actually upgraded to two 25 inch lg's. Thanks man. I paid about $1000 for the computer and $300 per monitor. $400 per each interface and too much to list appreciate the comment

[ksteeldm]

nice crib bruh-- where u live at

[dennisplus1]

@ksteeldm Whats up man. I'm up

in the High Desert. Victorville. Where are you out of? Thanks for the comment.

[ksteeldm]

@dennisplus1 straight comin out of chi city, damm la huh

[nachosam98]

hey i have a question what do you use with your cad mics for your drum set I'm looking desperately to see what you plug them into please reply

[dennisplus1]

@nachosam98 All my mics are plugged into my presonus firepod 8 channel interace with phantom power.

[nachosam98]

@dennisplus1 oh okay thanks for the reply :D

[dennisplus1]

@nachosam98 No problem man. Thanks for watching and hit me up with any other questions you have.

[JazzNaySean]

coo lil setup

[dennisplus1]

@JazzNaySean Thanks for the comment.

[WemSum]

when you rap while youre recording are you suppose to be able to hear yourself in your headphones?

[dennisplus1]

@WemSum Depends on whether the person rapping wants to hear themselves but that's just all part of the mix.

[dennisplus1]

For the price I would rate it at about a 6 or 7. Not one of the best mica but it gets the job done and anyone who isn't truly into music wouldn't notice the difference.

[VidPro95]

On a scale from 1 to 10 what would you rate your AKG Perception 100 Condenser Mic? How does it get power?

[DJMNM310]

NICE SET UP.. WHERE U LOCATED

[dennisplus1]

@DJMNM310 Victorville California north of San Bernardino. Thanks. Still working on the set-up.
