How to Set Up a Home Recording Studio : Head Room: Tips for Recording in Your Home Music Studio

[Nekroczar]

76 sound engineers paid bucks and couldn't get "the boom".

[MrJazzeman]

Tad had a stroke from too much cocaine. Just read it on his web-site. I know his videos aren't informative... AT ALL, but give the dude a break. He's been sober for years now.

[rorystjohn999]

For your health!

[lohbeatsdotcom]

@rorystjohn999 my friends and i joke about this / dr burle all the time

[MikeAlaskadrummer]

hahah i love this guy !!

[celixdog04]

o.O Am i the only one who actually think's Ozzy would have been more understandable in this video? I mean, seems like alot of random directions.

[AudioStateUK]

expert shithouse 

[marcreevesmusic]

man I was wondering why I couldn't get that big boom! Now I know it's because I was using Pro Tools and the headroom was preventing me from getting the boom. I'm gonna remix my latest CD in Nuendo so I can get the clear warm depth that is GOOD. So stoked now :D

[72wicksy]

Just realised I said that twice, must of been cos I was laughing so hard I accidentally hit post again!

[72wicksy]

One of the funniest video's on youtube!

[Dmajor2011]

Boom lol

[dog009988]

The fuck is he talkin bout?

[Newschoolkids24]

You didn't teach us shit you just talked.

[loveandpeaceFTW]

he wanted a BOOM lol

[jaytreagan75]

i love you tad donnely

[elvedin555]

shit talker

[alleyman444]

Yea, it's sad. He could have said dynamic range or bit resolution, but he didn't know what he was talking about at all, so he said "da headroom" (which translates to restroom, I believe).

[kitris]

59 people didn't get the Boom.

[conceptionsoffate]

I can't get the boom. Now I have this video to look at and learn how to get the boom.

[barneycockburn]

Is this a bad joke?

[flowstosick]

wtf?



[dalehusbanduk]

What kind of fucking nutcase ditches Pro Tools to use Nuendo? Not just bashing Nuendo, just this loser. He should NOT be allowed to publically put his thoughts across on these things. What a retard.

[Enterthesavannah]

Ya gotta get the boom man!! aha dont do drugs, give hugs! :D

[mjwheels75]

Warrior? Seriously? What did he even say? This might be the most useless bit of info on YouTube.

[Funmichi]

my english is too bad to understand, what he is saying...could you tell me the point please?

[Zeldakitteh]

@Funmichi Nuendo > Pro Tools

[hannes911]

I don't get anything this guy said, it's just a mixture of words!

[FALLASLEEPworld]

There is something beautiful about this, :D.

[zackaroo4]

expert village sucks so bad. just say the point. talk about your title. worst tutorial ever

[MrJoot]

what a toot sniffer

[rivnat123]

Cocaine is helluvah drug

[doryproductions]

squalking like a chicken? what is this bloke talking about????

[dnlfacundo]

[joselchino]

[QualityKayla]

[kink66]

[TriaBoy25]

[stymye]

protools squaks like a chicken...no boom.. glad I am now armed with this information

[HereticSkepticMKS]

Hahahaha. What the fuck man......I love this idiot

[puducy]

watafuck is this nigga talking bout?

[totalyawsomedude]

"I try to get a boom out of the bass drum in one of my albums; my CD boom. I try to get that big boom. I could not get a big boom. I paid bucks, and could not get the boom

[NeverFearGandyIsHere]

I quite enjoy how little he actually mentioned headroom levels.

[JonnyAlai]

What kind of mixer is that?Please help me..i'm looking for something similar to that one!

[GuillermoSnowglobe]

@JonnyAlai Mackie MCU

[JonnyAlai]

@GuillermoSnowglobe

Thank you homie! You will receive a present for xmas (:

Can you give me also a critic of that mixer? not the features that i'm gonna read by now..just a good or a bad critic if you've already tried it..

Thanks!

J

[MetalFTWin]

God.. I would not go to his studio, even if I'd get payed for it. I don't care if his professional or an expert, his on something, and I don't know what

[2northside]

Anybody that would go to this guys studio is a moron as well as is he. Stop smoking crack you idiot!!!!!!!!

[agoradzwn]

This guy sounds like he picked up George W Bush's script.

[Soundchaser88]

EVERYBODY. TADS REAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL IS tadprosound12. COMMENCE TROLL

[tadprosound12]

@Soundchaser88 I just reported you, soundchaser ( what a name). You're a real loser

[tadprosound12]

@Soundchaser88 You're a real loser little kid.

[Soundchaser88]

@tadprosound12 lmao, did you watch this video? you are a bumbling idiot. You know nothing about recording. Take a look at the other comments on this page.

[Chemamanda]

he couldnt get the boom cuz he was focued on the bong!

[kingtoadius]

pro tools as well as all others support 32 bit headroom... its more then enough, the guy can't get the big sound for the same reason as me... he can't mix!

[uniktbn]

This dude really knows what he is talking about. From his studio web page one can read "...is a 24 track or 48 track studio with analog sound up to 96 khz at 24 bit". I really need to see the rest of these vids.

[Myuzishin]

I'm linkin this dude's vids on my guitar forum, and we're all gonna have a right hearty laugh.

[hoikevinhoi]

stoned 

[rustyshite]

god bless expert village!

[epten]

This guy can't be serious. Is he stoned?

[xJoeAudiox]

Expert Village should make videos on how not to do things correctly.

[spaztard001]

i can't believe he paid bucks and still couldn't get the boom

[spaztard001]

fuck me expert village is so fucking entertaining!!

[princeFRESH408]

what do u mean about headroom??/ do u mean the level at which ur speakers rest?? im confused bro

[youssefrddad]

I think your headroom is zapped sir........

[Faderjockey]

I forgot how awesome these are...

[polyphony89]

So what did this have to do with headroom and the noise floor? All I heard was squarrk and boom. Is expert village a joke? I can't seem to find any actual tutorial bearing the expert village name.

[kassanova414]

lmaooo

[Davion474]

retard

[stuge4life]

I dont know why he reminds me of George Bush just not knowing what to say

[DudasMiska]

WTF all these vids, the guy just cuts in, never talking about the topic, just bang in the middle of some random convo, we have no fucking clue what hes talking about, until maybe the very end, but beginners will never learn anything from this, even people with experience can barely figure out what the fuck is going on...seriously, give a headline and TALK ABOUT THAT FROM THE BEGINNING TO END AND TALK ABOUT THAT ONLY...the extra bullshit only confuses people....

[tilfrie]

This guy is smoking the crack!

[DJMKN93]

how is he even allowed to go near a recording studio?!

[Droobiemcfloobie]

U R THa MAN TAD!!! FUCK WHAT THESE HATERS GOTTA SAY MY NIGGA!!!

[tadprosound12]

@Droobiemcfloobie I agree my friend. A lot of egos here. They have to say something negative just to feel better about themselves. Wannabees.

[Audiowithalex]

@tadprosound12 lawl

[tadprosound12]

@Droobiemcfloobie I agree my friend. What a bunch of losers.

[Jono2415]

BOOM - What a flop!

[jSHAW1844]

God these videos are horrible. This guy doesn't even know how to say a clear concise sentence. Every time these people from expert village interview a person they must be like "Fuck it, that'll do."

[dan6896]

y cant they put all there vid into 1 vid

[kink66]

@dan6896

SO WE ALL CAN I HAVE ONE BIG LAUGH???!!

[lilbeatch]

@dan6896 because then it wouldnt be as retarded lol

[TheMusicChick90]

I don't think he's making fun of us, I think he actually believes what he's saying. It's good for a laugh when getting frustrated with your own gear though. Makes me feel good about myself haha

[themuzic]

My only problem with all this is the bad advice. He's insulting the very people that want to learn from him. Sad!!

[PihSant]

Why is this from "Expert Village" There wasn't anything expert about it. I think the only thing he was ever an expert at was drugs.

[qbertykey]

So, this is where Sam Kinison really went...

[legupmusic]

huh??

[dogcode]

This guy is pure gold!!......if you want a laugh or figure out what hes drinking!!

[phobosazazel81]

he is soooo handsome :PPPP

[RnRanimal]

I thought there was lotsa room in the head

[stratosphere21]

I love his despair face when he talks about he can't get the

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!

PS: His "WARRIOR" cds sound like ass...sorry Tad!

LOL!

[Fperez04]

lmao!!!

[tigerstickfigure]

Don't get zapped by the psychological squawking of the dreaded headroom littleness! You don't have this big sound, man! You want that big sound! I couldn't get a big sound! You want this big sound! You couldn't get a big sound! You try to get a boom out of a bass drum? Have you listened to my album, on my CD? I wanted to get a big boom! I couldn't get a big boom! I wanted a big boom! Why can't I get a big boom? Have you seen my big boom? Oh, where oh where has my big boom gone?

[mrdeecup]

my favorite Tad Donley video! Getting advice from a Recording Engineer - $50/hr, watching a Tad Donley video on YouTube - Priceless!

[richieboy09]

yeah this expert village is proper cack! omg!

[mr4y]

"I paid big bucks and couldn't get that boom!"

Then stop wasting money on gear you don't even know how to use. Period.

...Also, don't use drugs while trying to sell your material.

Expert village my ass.

[tofuComputer]

"I paid big bucks and couldn't get a boom!" lol no advice at all, just complaining!

[stevekinney12]

there was absolutely no advise... rofl... he just complained that there was no boom.

[elliott0]

this is a prime example of what happens when a mother drinks when she is pregnant

[danpifs]

LOLLLLL

[Nerviss]

Sounds to me like the guy is joking around about the boom. Don't take the internet too serious.

Anyways, I think Devin the Dude poked fun at this guy on his album Waiting to Exhale

[jiminiflix]

: I couldn't get thebig Booom!!!.....good yes! lol

[audiogeekzine]

You never go full retard.

[jjbro1]

booty sweat!

[chile06]

"clean, strong, big, warm, depth, goood"

[lookitznismo]

which brings me to my next point....dont use drugs

[makabarett]

i think hes tryn to sell his cd and not tip us on much else

[DannyHere2009]

Bring back the bloke in the green top! He's better xD

[TheTruth8906]

he guys could you help me?

i tried getting a big boom from the bass drum.. the big boom.... on one of my albums.. my cd.. that boom..i couldnt get a big boom! i paid big bucks and couldn't get that boom!

well i dont know.. i just redid a protools mix in nuendo.. no biggie..

[agentsumo54]

ka..boom???

[MarkVll]

Drugs are not good for you, only you

[dannyboyv89]

boom!

[Creamlistner]

"Big strong warm depth.... good"?

Is he talking about his experiance with his boyfriend or recording music?

[DogBoots77]

After listening to "warriorrocks" on Myspace, I agree that he couldn't get that "boooom"....

[saifi450]

if u wanna do something, do the opposite that expertvillage says

[jamahl]

what about using a compressor? that usually helps "booming".

we all know you love yourself and your CD and that your recordings have the BOOM and that they are the best.

Teach us something cause that's what we're watching your videos for. Everything else is not what i'm here for, and i don't care about your effin boom.

[pdilla]

So...... apparently he couldn't get the big boom.....

[jamahl]

did i get that right? what was it he couldn't get?

[kyqdeath]

boom

[KRISTAYLORMUSIC]

worst fucking video ive ever seen - do EVERYONE a favour and take this clip down - piss head

[mariomanig]

all i learned is that your the biggest fukin idiot creating music today thanx for nothing asshole..noone cares about your DUMB BOOM ON YOUR DUMB CD

[jazzplayer9]

I didnt learn anything?

[oOSamuraiOo]

lmao couldn't get that "BOOM" eh?

[schwipt]

LOSER101....

[MikeyTSH]

what the fuck? he's such a moron - i know because i actually record for money.

[peterpetersbng]

make the situation worse being..nasty.....be diplomatic..be nice..thats not too difficult is it...

[Billy982810]

i know exactly what your saying about protools,.. Let them figure it out on their own.

[metalpraxis]

he just said that nuendo was better than pro tools to get more headroom, but the boom I dont understand shit about it, if you want a big boom had subbase to it. Sorry, I just dont get it.

[ultimateinfinite]

Well, that helped me in no way what so ever.

[x7tv]

all of these videos on expertvillage are garbage.

[CareyM77]

all of these videos on expertvillage are hilarious! :D

[dazzelya]

FINALLY someone who agrees. They are all pure crap.

[SteelLeech]

What a shit video

[BuffaloWankOil]

What a Wanker.

[electricmocasin]

wow i learned so much about recording right now. NOT!!!! way too opinionated and false man. It's all how you use it kids. buy the cheapest gear you can afford and write on.. write on.. and learn on your own. not expertvillage

[jbachrock]

I'm pretty sure this guy works at guitar center.

[hayabusafmw]

the guy is drunk

[raiderrob12]

You hear me? BOOM! BOOM! I CAN'T GET THE BOOM! But I got Menudo to clean my mix up for me (hiccup ... burp).

This guy is a genius ...

[MeFlerg]

HAHAHA!

[mistadboy]

[avax44]

[stillwaterseven]

that was instructional?

[aemaury]

george w bush of recording.

[hazardouslee]

the GW of recording ?haahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha funniest comment (and truest) i ever heard

[Peteyuse]

No offence Ted, but you need to spend at least a couple of years around some professional engineers. There are no panacea's for recording and mixing. Your ears, and the ability to recognise when you're not using a piece of equipment to it's full potential, will get you leagues further than a new mic or DAW.

[CWsounds]

This guy is a retard. He should be taken off of your profile.

[diediedie209]

all i gotta say is wow

[maxanovajr]

dear "expert" village,

I could introduce you to a dozen kids under 25 who know their shit better than this guy. What's his name? Teddy McDrinkypants? Fire his ass!

Love,

Max

[TMCA]

Nobody starting out listen to a word this guy says. He has no idea what he's talking about. He couldn't get "boom" because he has absolutely NO idea what he's doing.

[mad7stringer]

Ok Winger reject.... do you have any idea how to use digital recording equipment?

[sonicdeviant]

I strongly recommend getting off drugs, Ted.
