heya friends ... some good info here ... we just posted a bunch of clips w a world-class acoustician and room designer. Check it out and hope they are helpful ... our channel name is SecretPros ... good luck w your music! =)
Most have for only 2-4 channels in the back and 2 in the front for your mics only and the rest for midi, but most audio interface, have a fiber light pipe or ADAT for a 8 channel preamp, for expanding analog inputs, which is better then the way this guy show you, as you get 96khz/24bits or 48khz with no loss in audio quality
For most people a audio interface is all you really need, just buy one with the most inputs and with a good DAC, but get one that has a fiber lightpipe.
yeh i dont see why people have to bag these helpful people. i need help with an issue whos willing to step up.? who thinks they know more about setting up a recording studio than this dude. cunts.
i have mxl usb condenser mic...i want to use it record my own songs but when i plug it on my laptop i can hear my self with the mic on the head set but when u play the video its like i dont have a mic its the same as when im using my laptop through its build in mic.. do i still need something else in order for me to record my own songs with my mic.. u can check my video so ull know what i mean..hope u can help me

@TVHighjacker typically most XLR's are balanced, but you can buy balanced 1/4 inch jacks (the have two black lines instead of one) but just because you have a balanced cable doesnt mean that your get a balanced signal coming out unless the inputs of your mixer/audio interface are balanced as well. but it doesnt really matter i personally always go for XLR as it provides positive negative and ground, hope this helps :)
My problem with Expert Village videos are that they are all only at 1min! A Minute and 25-30 if you're lucky! They leave you with so many questions un-answered! Aaaargh! And then they don't answer back!
@shampainTV sorry i was being a dick. i wouldnt get a mixer though its not important. its good if u just get like an audio interface and plug ur monitors into that. audio interfaces allow you to multitrack, mixers are more for routing audio not recording guitars and stuff. what u do is u get the audio interface, then you plug a good dynamic mic into it (like a shure sm-57 which costs 100 dollars) and u can put that mic up against the speaker cone of ur amp and record ur guitar and bass (cont...)
@shampainTV but that works best if u have a good amp. if u have a poor amp u can do the DI method where u just plug ur guitar directly into the audio interface and record, but it doesnt sound as good. The audio interface as i said before will usually have inputs for ur headphones or monitors, always make sure u mix with a good pair of headphones or monitors. to record ur audio u need a DAW which is basicly just a computer program that u can record onto. I would get logic express or logic pro
@shampainTV if u have a PC get like cubase or something. but yeah to record well i would get this
-logic express or whatever (a good DAW)
-A computer with over 2ghz of RAM and alota memory like a macbook pro
-An audio interface (m-audio makes good ones so does steinberg look them up)
-Good amps if u can afford it
-Good mics
the shure sm-57 mic is really good for everything but mostly guitar, if u do alota softer vocal stuff then use a condenser mic for ur voice too. but mixers arent important
@shampainTV p.s. make sure when u mix u don't plug ur monitors or headphones into your computers sound jack.. ALWAYS PLUG MONITORS AND HEADPHONES INTO YOUR INTERFACE, YOUR COMPUTERS SOUNDCARD CANNOT HANDLE THE KIND OF AUDIO UR USING IT FOR TRUST ME I'VE HAD BAD FUCKING EXPERIENCES
bro can you email me the detailed way to build a home studio, the simpliest way.. i am from the philippines and i am helping out of school youth for them to have a small recording studio.. i will appreciate it.. joemendez1742@gmail.com
Gonna front end that cheapo A/D converter with that nice pre-amp? The pre-amp will never be able to perform at its peak quality. The cheapo A/D converter will distort before you even start to get any gain out of that pre-amp. Recordings are only as good as the weakest link in the signal chain. This chain looks like a jet engine in a balsa wood bi-plane.
Grouop Buy on sample tank XT over at ik multimedia's website right now ! 30 some days left on this buy !!! $49.00 - we're at 4X1 now !!! almost 5X1 !! Great deals.
head over to Ik Multimedia's site to see the info !!! and get one ! like I did! Shoot, I bought TWO ! now I have 8 Sample Packs for $80.00 :)
@jtiemrry you will need a PRE AMP. This will go into your computer. You then plug in your Shure sm 58 into the pre amp. As your Mic has no power it needs the pre amp to boost the signal. Not all pre amps are the same tho best to google and read up on them 1st. I 've got a Behringer Mic 800 :)
Can someone tell me why he has his monitoring system in the corner of the room?? He might have half an idea about connecting equipment but obviously has zero idea about acoustics! That is one of the worst spots to mix... So in saying that, take this guys advice with a grain of salt!!!
people, calm down lol. there nothing wrong with bypassing a pre amp. theres reasons, so take it easy on the guy. but i do think its a shame that hes running a 414 through that box...gross
yea man seriously, misleading info going from preamp to preamp and other mistakes or just tips that arent even explained...and these teasing 1 min videos that try to pull you in so you benefit from marketing...
hadlock - I'm pretty sure it is an Mbox, And they do have Phantom power and a Pad! I'd say the reason why he is using a pre-amp is for that particular flavor! You can get some really nice pre-amps out there. The Mbox series doesn't offer any flavor just an honest A to D converter. Although not sure what type of pre amp he has you'd hope it was a half decent one if he is using an AKG C-414.
@1202abcd how is he an idiot? everything he said was correct. I'd have to say you're the idiot for not recognizing that and for being so ridiculously ignorant.
Well first of all nothing you record through the mbox is going to sound good. It's just a real piece of junk.
Technically the peramps on the mbox are also line inputs as well as mic inputs. In the situation he's in where he's going through his 610 it would be used like a line amp. Normally you would go in to the -10 line input out a pre but i don't know if the mbox has that or not.
If people arn't honest about how bad it is how will people that don't know its bad know its bad. I agree that more people that actually know what they are doing need to put some stuff up.
really? i guess we should applaud people on doing a bad job, because were all children.... be able to take criticism if you plan to tell people that you are an EXPERT...in conclusion fuck you because fuck you.
@froggydude29 Because "Expert Village" is an oxymoron. Because it's sad that people who don't know what they're doing to begin with are watching this guy and all of the other 'village' idiots stumble through English. Because it's the "love-everything-be-nice" people like yourself who are the reason people become so upset.
People who don't know how to do it, are watching a how-to video. ( I see how this could be very disturbing.) People who already know how to do it, are watching anyway, so they can feel superior. What was your point again?
my 3 year old cousin knows more about sound equipment than this guy. Besides, the room didn't look so expert like i mean...it looked like it was just his bedroom...come on...
Yeah, this information is very noobish stuff, though I don't necessarily think you HAVE to have a hardware mixer to have good recordings, this minute long video can't possibly be the hail mary to recording problems. Come on, 'expert village'?
heres my probl, i have a soundcard that i use for recording guitar and bass but now, i wanna record vocals but my soundcard didn't have a microphone input so where will i have to plug the mic to record ?
Not a control interface. "Audio interface" will be correct in this case. The main purpose of it not to control something, but let analog audio signal get in and out digital domain
to start it all, people that have home studios didn't buy a preamp in the first place. Good preamps are expensive. They also call the video MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS but didn't get into the types of cable....
And FYI, helpful this video may be, it is also misleading. Forget all the preamp, cable and all hype. All you need is a good SOURCE, a decent mic, a standard interface, and I guarantee you could pull off better sounds than some others will do in a decade. See where you priorities are, if the source you are recording is not good in the first place, having the best of equipment will simply do nothing to make things better. Priorities!
For anyone still reading this thread of endless comments, please go somewhere else to find answers. YouTube is not exactly the place to learn pro audio regardless whether people are right or not.
The info on here was useful to me so fuck all you derogatory ass haters. If you hoes on here that keep talkin about how bad & uninformative thus video is know so goddamn much then where's your shit at.
A preamplifier (preamp), or control amp in some parts of the world, is an electronic amplifier which precedes another amplifier to prepare an electronic signal for further amplification or processing. The preamplifier circuitry may or may not be housed as a separate component.
All the anger is prolly bc this is supposed to be EXPERT Village, not another Wiki loose- based tutorials, by ppl who aren't qualified to be listed, here, on EXPERT Village.
It has made ME pretty damned angry, m'self!
Maybe I should submit something, to them, about rocket science!
spoken like a champ.. these videos are more for TRUE BEGINNERS... even if you have some skill in the area they are talking about.. you would know otherwise.. I dont know how many guitar lessons Ive watched from expert village where they 1. teach you the wrong way 2.. Teach you the stupid way and 3.. Just sound awful; while doing... are you gonna take lessons from someone who doesnt sound good?? I dont think so lol
a mixer is a device used to combine audio signals of different levels and then to send the mixed signal out to amps and then to speakers. or just to mix signals to the right level to record at.
a pre-amp on the other hand is the first stage in the amplification process and it amplifies low level signals up to medium level signals to drive power amplifiers. or boosts a signal level up to something adequate to record with.
good enough for you? can you see the difference now? i hope so
a pre-amp brings a signal up to a usable level for recording or live sound. and a mixer combines several signals and mixes them to the right levels for recording or sending to an amp for a PA, and it has several other functions too
they are 2 completely different things. with 2 completely different purposes, and i have given you their basic purposes and uses
heres the problem bro.. Interfaces have preamps in them.. Mixers have preamps in them.. using a completey seperate preamp can definately help your sound out.. if you dont like the sound your mic gets then you have to buy a better sounding preamp to make it more clean.. built in preamps are good for the price but any serious recording requires an external one.. if you want sound quality
Dude this guy is an idiot. Plugs a 2k+ preamp into a mbox mic pre??!! Thats suicide man. People really do not know the importance of good A/D converter nowadays...
...and then you plug the PC into the electrical mains.

try getting a mixer. use xlr to hook it up and get a y adapter for 2 rca to 1/8" stereo and hook it up to your computer mic in

Not a control interface. "Audio interface" will be correct in this case. The main purpose of it not to control something, but let analog audio signal get in and out digital domain

I`ve seen a lot of people that use a mixer and a interface.. do u have a mixer or do you just use the MBox?

to start it all, people that have home studios didn't buy a preamp in the first place. Good preamps are expensive. They also call the video MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS but didn't get into the types of cable....
Expert village my ass...

And FYI, helpful this video may be, it is also misleading. Forget all the preamp, cable and all hype. All you need is a good SOURCE, a decent mic, a standard interface, and I guarantee you could pull off better sounds than some others will do in a decade. See where you priorities are, if the source you are recording is not good in the first place, having the best of equipment will simply do nothing to make things better. Priorities!

For anyone still reading this thread of endless comments, please go somewhere else to find answers. YouTube is not exactly the place to learn pro audio regardless whether people are right or not.

im sure everyone can figure how a mic cable goes into a mic pre-amp where it is actually labelled mic-in lol
this is for the really dumb people.
the manual of these equipment would even tell you how to do these connections!

how much is the control interface?
norfwest9kid 2 years ago
are you on about audio interface? if so then read the rest ov the post...
a control interface on its own can cost around £30 to £100+ depending on what you are after.
theres a behringer one thats about £30, good place to start.
but you will also need a pre-amp and you can get a decent one for about £70+ for beginners.
then what you will need to do is connect the pre-amp to the audio interface and that goes into the computer.
you can also get audio interfaces built into pre-amps..

A preamplifier (preamp), or control amp in some parts of the world, is an electronic amplifier which precedes another amplifier to prepare an electronic signal for further amplification or processing. The preamplifier circuitry may or may not be housed as a separate component.

All the anger is prolly bc this is supposed to be EXPERT Village, not another Wiki loose- based tutorials, by ppl who aren't qualified to be listed, here, on EXPERT Village.
It has made ME pretty damned angry, m'self!
Maybe I should submit something, to them, about rocket science!

spoken like a champ.. these videos are more for TRUE BEGINNERS... even if you have some skill in the area they are talking about.. you would know otherwise.. I dont know how many guitar lessons Ive watched from expert village where they 1. teach you the wrong way 2.. Teach you the stupid way and 3.. Just sound awful; while doing... are you gonna take lessons from someone who doesnt sound good?? I dont think so lol

A preamp is the same as a mixing desk isn't it?

bradvids69 2 years ago

Blackenthecursedsun1 2 years ago
big head?
if you think a mixing desk is the same as a pre-amp then you have HEAPS to learn.
even people with a tiny bit of knowledge should know that sort of thing
bradvids69 2 years ago
Well good job trying to explain the difference.
kennyball 2 years ago
a mixer is a device used to combine audio signals of different levels and then to send the mixed signal out to amps and then to speakers. or just to mix signals to the right level to record at.
a pre-amp on the other hand is the first stage in the amplification process and it amplifies low level signals up to medium level signals to drive power amplifiers. or boosts a signal level up to something adequate to record with.
good enough for you? can you see the difference now? i hope so
bradvids69 2 years ago
The guy below is right, you still didn't explain the difference...
Blackenthecursedsun1 2 years ago
can't you read?
a pre-amp brings a signal up to a usable level for recording or live sound. and a mixer combines several signals and mixes them to the right levels for recording or sending to an amp for a PA, and it has several other functions too
they are 2 completely different things. with 2 completely different purposes, and i have given you their basic purposes and uses
bradvids69 2 years ago
Well, a desk still amplifies the analog signal before its sent to the interface, then the comp, so their pointless really...
Blackenthecursedsun1 2 years ago
whats pointless?
you have to have a pre-amp at some stage. it might be the pre-amp that is built into the mixer or it might be the pre-amp in the interface.
the point is, a pre-amp is different to a mixer, mixers have pre-amps in them, so do audio interfaces. or you can get separate pre-amps.
you can use the pre amps from a mixer for recording with an interface. but that doesn't magically turn a pre-amp into a mixer
bradvids69 2 years ago
heres the problem bro.. Interfaces have preamps in them.. Mixers have preamps in them.. using a completey seperate preamp can definately help your sound out.. if you dont like the sound your mic gets then you have to buy a better sounding preamp to make it more clean.. built in preamps are good for the price but any serious recording requires an external one.. if you want sound quality

Dude this guy is an idiot. Plugs a 2k+ preamp into a mbox mic pre??!! Thats suicide man. People really do not know the importance of good A/D converter nowadays...

he is using a 2k pre-amp so he doesn't have to us the crappy ones on the interface.

use the TRS input on the mbox, works best, avoid the mbox preamp.
