[drakebeats4]

[361flyboi]

Tight

[rgar1694]

I rap but i dont have any knowledge on how to record or anything on my computer.. what do i need? i have a pc. i have reason. id like to produce later however right now im just focusing on recording over beats ive already heard.. (cover) HELP YOUTUBE GENIUSES...

[RCdudeism]

you are fukin rich nd we dont hav d money to go ot nd get dis stuffff so i did not tink dis was helpful

[Mjhenriques]

@RCdudeism If you see his next video he explains to try to stay in your budget. Also, he said it took him years to get everything by saving his money.

Oh, by the way, try to spell better if you are going to try to insult someone.

And you don't have to be rich to build something like this. Though I don't have a "booth" I am looking to only spend about 500-1000 bucks on my little studio and I am saving for.

[Spy7roop]

@RCdudeism this for a reference on what you need to get

[lonzenator]

@RCdudeism Well, then, go get a job and earn it.... wah wah wah... Personally, I feel he did a very good job trying to help a person who is a beginner. I own a full blown recording studio and was curious when I saw the tag. I wish that I could have seen something like this when I started out in 1987. Of course in 1987 we were still using tape and blades... Nice intro.....

[dcpconcepts]

thanks dude for the info. very helpful.

[dowbells]

[Csep94]

"alright guys?" Lol.

[PEskater101]

Very useful. I had been searching for videos just like this all over youtube and I kept skipping over this one because I thought I already watched it but it's better than all the others

[bLokexOner]

Music production isn't any cheap , you have to work to get what you want unless you're rich

[supremefeelmusic]

Thank you for your help man.

[ThePhundumentalz]

in part 1 he shoulda said "the very first thing you should do is save and gets lots of money"

[Saquitala4Music]

Thank you

[bria0511]

thanks man now its time to save my money and hustle hard

[rockoutloud98]

k i hope this guys actually good cuz he spent like 5,000 bucks on a room in his basement

[camilobeze]

Cheers!!

[ChynaeWarsMikee]

needs a lot of $

[TheRopep]

Hey, I've been thinking of starting to record some stuff with my friend. Just for fun, you know, like a hobby. And I was thinking of buying, was it ProTools MP. So will it be enough for recording or do I need anything else? Mics of course but anything else? Please somebody who has experienses reply! Thank you!

[MrPhorick]

[okTH3nMaN]

[bmboerjan12]

14 people dont have a closet

[imCrippinCaRip]

who that gurl on da poster at 1:34

[FRNKNSTNmusic]

if you get sick of music, you can always have a career in education. you explain things very well, better than 90% of youtube.

[LilDtherapper]

How do you record yourself? I mean, i cant take my laptop in the booth and getting in and out is annoying. how do you do it when you're by yourself?

[MnMJerkSquad]

whats the thing that goes over the mic? that clears your voice?

[squareheadsquarehead]

@MnMJerkSquad popfilter

[jake61072]

thank you very informative.

[Wrecklessbeatzent]

blue mics are good for recording and all, but theyre ugly -____-

[mrwaztom]

you need one of these, its about 300 dollars

oh ok brb going to the bank

[secretpros]

nice job! check out Owens Corning 705 insulation ... put fabric on top ... works GREAT for absorbing sound. and yeah... blue mics rock .. so good for the $. Also you are an advanced enough ... check out the vids I got to make w a world-class studio designer and engineer ... good stuff I know you'll appreciate. check us at Secretpros ..

enjoy!

[Nauk31]

Thanks a lot for your tips. You seems to be a nice guy ;)

[popproxx1]

Dave if I have a mac book will i still be able to use a duet sound card, I need a labtop for school.

[ferris5150]

can't go wrong with a pair of beyerdynamic dt100 headphones.

neumann u87 is the best condenser mic imo, but it is about £2k, not cheap. a dynamic mic such as a shure 57 is a good place to start out. condenser mics are really up to taste.

[manhlinh102]

bruce lee :)) nice!!

[mongomanhappyface]

i would show you

[Olithenotsogreat]

Congratulation for this tutorial. The best I've seen so far, very complete with good advice.

Also, I am a foreigner and have problems to understand english when not properly pronounced. Your american english is really cristal clear to me!

[athom118]

Dave,

Thanks a lot, I got more information here than I have from anyone else. I'll be in touch.

[giorgosed]

the first thing you need to build a home studio is......MONEY...!!!

[meganick187]

thank you so much man, you really taught me a lot (not bein a smartass). you really filled in a lot of gaps for me bro.

[MusicRedd]

this is great!

[remixg2k]

i got a usb mic ... which by passes everything you just said and i get near professional quality all you really need is to know how to mixdown and master having all what you said helps a lot yeah but to be real you can still get good quality it just takes a touch more work to get it ... my studio cost me like £200 to make which is about $400 but the stuff is actually cheeper in the states and if you do not believe me listen to a tune on my page called do for love recorded in my bed room lol

[Mrdagreatness]

thanks alot, this was awesome, a little pricey but still good

[flyingeese88]

That was extremely use dude appreciate that man!

[blackode]

[ijscoman1337]

David thanks for putting all this effort in the presentation, I watched it and I'm gonna start building my own soon, without the vocal boof tho, I laughed at first when I saw the vocal boof ( so small!) but the moment right after that I realised it was simply brilliant!!! You certainly pushed me in the right direction, thanks.

[EZASOMO]

[sok213]

wow thanks for the help..now all i need is about 5,000 dollars.

[JayDelaCruz3]

@sok213 lmfao

[MrLiveman2]

@sok213 Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Rite. But, u gotta do it though. LOL LOL

[edcerc]

@sok213 thats about my budget what would you recommend for a hip hop studio.

[clydedsouza46]

@edcerc Saw all equipments on part 1 video?This is a hip hop studio recommendations b'cuz it got an electronic keyboard and DAW which is a heart of hip hop beats and DJ turntable to add remixes to your beats and a vocal booth which is used in some of the genres like pop,hip hop etc.and many basic things for singing like sound card etc.

[mikeshorin]

@sok213 Hahaha $5000? You will not get that setup for even $10,000 LOL

[SwingAdam]

@sok213 is that impossible?

[knowledge14]

good advice man and can now make my list, and hopefully by Christmas time start recording my compositions. I'll keep checking out your page. Ty representing UK

[DjPeaceDestroyer]

[187tone187]

you forgot about the patch bay now im not shure if you already have one but there really good because you plug everything in and out of it so you dont have to keep on going in back of ur equipment

[Caonabban]

I learned so much, before I was in the dark about gettin' my vocal sound clean..this information worth a good amount...thanks for givin; it free

[mammothborderDC]

thanks for this

[andrewpope08]

I use a 99$ mic and a closet with some homemade padding, I have a comp with 4 gigs of ram, and great drivers so it makes up for stuff. I do only raps, and people make beats for me so I dont need much else.

[kiddbucks19]

great vid,i am aN aspiring producer ,what do you think i need more and is cost efficient,beat making software or beat production machine.i plan on getting both but the money is the problem,which is more important for me to get just to start off.THANK YOU

[KiDGh0sTnHaRmOnY]

What do u think is the top three things u need to start off with?

[michaelbush6417]

Hey young man, I am a father with a son who is rapidly getting into the music ans I am sure, with what you have shared here, that I can assist him in getting the basic items her will need. A+ attutude and delivery, and I plan to have my son pay attention to you and how you come across with your information.

[dragonmustard2]

Very informative! Thank you and it is night time.

[JJBinksAZ]

Thank you very much! You are great!

[GregsLife365]

thanks for the info

[GomNaamSinger]

Thanks bro -

[Rezin603]

what about the pro tools usb producer mic?

[137601]

i have 256mb of RAM. For anyone who knows please give me your opinion/answer. how much will this effect the process of recording

[nathanrox22]

@137601 my laptop has more then that and when i try im waiting for ages to record i use my mac with 4gb ram works so good you should deffs consider upgrading

[pb0o6]

@137601 thats really not alot...

you can probably upgrade though.

[tbizhere]

@137601 - 256mb of Ram is pretty hopeless in all honesty. Depending on what your workflow is like and how you tend to use your computer will affect greatly how much RAM you will need in your Studio Computer. However, its realistic for you to have 2GB's or more of ram if you working with a DAW. The more memory the better, it means your computer can handle way more tasks before maxing out its ram. I have 8GB's, and I'd never go for less...

[meatdogg101]

good video...thks for tha tips

[xdigiovannix419]

hey man me and my boy are putting a studio together were both writing music but were gonna be recording some other people hopefully.. we have a mac with logic pro, drum mics, and a mixer.. so we got some more things to get but i was wondering if you have any tips on using logic? and is the sound card the same as an audio interface?

[KingNike316]

jesus, if you don't have any of that stuff you'd probably end up spending thousands of dollars.

[MrTyreek3]

i got the same mic you have for 70 bucks you spent way to much

[narcocholo420]

i got a blue bird with shok cage and pop filter for 279

[boezko]

the firebox is a pre-amp for your mic

[MrJMC4300]

Great tips. Thanks.

[MrDeLaJungla]

You sir are AWESOME. Thanks for the tips. Really helped me out.

[YoungR33n23]

i got my mic for 70$

[rodanosamehr]

Great advice Dave. One thing people ought to keep in mind as they gradually upgrade their gear is that the higher the quality of your mic, and pre amp, the more important room acoustics become as a priority issue.

This could be an unpleasant surprise if room acoustics are not high end recording friendly.

[shshadid]

my Q bro

where do i put my mic in th mixser or on th soundcard interface ?

[Bwick99]

a vocal booth in an old closet, genius :)
