  • Hey i live here in Maple Ridge, B.C..i was wondering if u could help me record some songs!?!

  • Great Recording Studio! Good Job!

  • the reason tool is cool but nowhere near ableton, i would like to ask why would you buy a drumkit if you are using the drum samples on reason>?

  • wow

  • is that at your house? very nice

  • BTW, have you ever used Sonar 8 before? That's the one I'm using now with the Samson G-Track interface!

  • dude thats a frekin sweet studio

  • I just got myself a Samson CO1U USB Condensor Microphone with the Sonar/Cakewalk software! Still trying to learn how to work it! Any pointers?

  • What interface are you using to plug that mic into your computer? Or are you just using the one input into your computer mic input?

  • Actually, it's the Samson G-Track Microphone Interface!

  • Great mic, I use one. However I wouldn't reccomend the software, it is hard to use and just doesn't work like a normal recording program. I use samplitude by Magix and it is awesome

  • @Chicago10281 youll have to configure the input siurce as usb if u use mac it ll be in the preferences

  • In Cubase, under "VST INPUTS", you will see an area that shows groupings of 2 tracks at a time with a clickable button to turn it off or on. Whenever you first open Cubase, it will be set on track 1 and 2 only. Before recording my 7 tracks of drums at the same time, I must go in and tell the software I need to use all 8 inputs at the same time. Do you have the mixer/controller interface that comes with the firestudio?

  • Where do you find VST inputs? Because I don't remember seeing it.

    And it didn't come with a controller interface ... I don't think.

  • I need to record all inputs at once but Cubase only allows me to select one bus as the "deafult" bus. This only allows me to use two inputs at a time. Please help.

  • Can you tell me more about what gear you have and what you are trying to do?

    I know in my Cubase software, it will only take 2 tracks at a time until I go to an area and click to allow the other 6 as well for a total of 8 tracks at the same time. The area is VST inputs.

  • Yeah. I need to record all inputs on my Presonus FireStudio at once. But when I go to VST connections on Cubase it only allows me to select two inputs at a time as a "deafult bus" and those are the only two inputs I'm able to record with. If you need any more info just ask. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP.

  • Can you explain further why you have two mixing desks?

    and aslo make make and model is your main mixer

    thanks rob

  • Hey Boomer i've got my new studio coming and i've got the behringer eurodesk sx2442 and the maudio 2626 which is similar to the presonus and was looking for some advice on routing from the board to my interface because i'm going to be doing some live band recording and so forth. Any ideas on signal routing? thanks bro much luv love the video. Be blessed

  • Hey man. Thanks for watching. Well, there are many ways to wire your gear. For recording, I mainly have all 8 mics go into my Firestudio. From there it connects via firewire to my computer. From there I take a left and right out to my main board for playback and control the individual volumes and EQ of the tracks with the software. Hope that helps. Check out the Presonus forums for great tips and info.

    Boomer

  • Hey Boomer love your studio dude my studio is in progress now there finishing the final touches on the iso room and the live room and i've got the behringer eurodesk sx2442 and my interface is the maudio 2626 which is similar to the presonus and was wondering how to come from the board to the interface such as you have your setup as far as routing goes i'm going to be tracking live bands and so forth. Thanks man and much luv. great video!!!! be blessed

  • Boomer, I'm just getting started. I've got a great PC. I have a band and guess which insturments take up the most imputs...the drums!! I'm thinking about the same mixer. What interface do you use or recommend with Cubase for a guy like me who has a kit,bass,keys, and percussion section? Plz respond?

  • Hey man. I have the Presonus "FireStudio" which is a firewire connection to your PC with 8 inputs that can all record at the same time. When I bought my interface it was around $1,000 Canadian. Then you can use 8 mics on your drum kit at the same time. Hope that helps

  • how much did all this cost

  • your studio is awesome...5 stars for that!!!

  • i just wanna ask, where do you use your sub board for? and can you give me some diagram or some instructions of how did you set up your studio? because im planning to make my own studio too...like connecting your mixer and stuff...thanks....

  • that drum stool has room for balls

  • nice setup that drum thing you did with one stick was cool anywayawesome studio

  • awesome

  • Nice setup, but what the hell is that porno music you produced. That is not proper music it is background track for pure hardcore porn.

  • WTF kind of music is that supposed to be dude?Chumbawumba called, they're angry about the child support they're paying for the love-child with Maddona.

    Just playing man, nice setup, what outboard compressor is that?

  • LMFAO!!!

    Dude........that was the funniest comment I've ever read! Ya got me there! Ya that midi song I did in the first few weeks of getting all the gear is not good enough to be in a 70's porno movie! I will loose it soon and replace it with all the "real" tracks we have done so far.

    Thanks for watching and making us all laugh!

  • sweet setup dude. I had something similar under my house untill the wife's dopey brother moved in 6 long months. my gretsch catalina kit is stacked up in the spare room and i,m reduced to using crappy drum samples? ah well..memories:)

  • Hey, check out my 2 new videos I made on Labor Day(United States On Yesterday)I used a VocoPro karaoke machine and digital karaoke mic mixer to make them sound almost CD-like, almost professional! The sound on these two tunes I did(Uptight & Every Kinda People)is so clear, you'll think it was from the studio! And, also, check out my friend "Kayla1557" and her two new songs(also using the VocoPro karaoke machine and digital mic mixer)and the microphone was a Radio Shack microphone!

  • Awesome....thanks man!

  • I'm confused, a 300 dollar throne and crappy Sabian B8 cymbals? Dude prioritize.

  • LOL. Good point. Well.....I have a bad back so I did prioritize. I bought cymbals to fill my stands. I am replacing them one at a time. Do you have a cymbal or two you would recommend?

    Thanks for watching

  • Sure-

  • Not too long ago, I bought myself a Samson G-Track microphone from Sam Ash and if and when I get my new computer on my 47th birthday in August(on the 2nd on that month)I'll be record some stuff on the network using the G-Track microphone!

  • I look forward to hearing your stuff. Send me a link when you're done.

    Boomer

  • Also, have you heard of Sonar 6 or Sonar 7 and recorded into(or with)them?

  • Have you ever used a Shure microphone or a Radio Shack microphone before? I use a Radio Shack microphone when I record along with the karaoke tracks, especially the original Motown tracks from "Motown Original Artist Karaoke"(Singing Machine) Also, have you ever used a Samson Condensor USB microphone?

  • Yes. I have about 7 Shure mics. Mostly 58's and a few 57's. I love the shure 58 for live vocals. I use a shure 57 to record the snare drum. Many years ago I bought a radio shck mic that looked like a shure 58. One day, for whatever reason, I took it apart. Turns out it was made by shure.

    I've never tried the samson USB mic. I use an old school tube condensor mic that plugs in via XLR.

  • what mic do you use for your drum?

  • I try different mics all the time. Mostly I like to have a seinheiser for the kick and just a shure 57 for the snare. The other drums I use what I have. (57's & 58's)

  • lol....clock says its 4:20

  • and also you said thats your main board now what do you do with that like do you run the 8 outs on the back of the onterface into the board? and what do you do from there

  • I have only had this gear for about a year so far. But currently, I have my inputs go into the Firestudio (8 inputs), and then the stereo out from Firestudio to rack mount effects and then from there to headphone amp. That way I get effects in headphones while recording. That is one way. Another way would be to record direct to Firestudio, and during mastering run stereo outs from Firestudio into rack and compress entire thing. Yes, the 8 outputs from my firestudio go to channel 1-8 on my mixer.

  • and from the sereo outs to compress it all the from there you go to.???like how do u go back into interface

  • dude, thats a sick studio!

    what software do you use?? Im looking for a compressor software for drums. please reply, i'd apreciate it. thanks!

  • Hey thanks for the comments! I use the cubase that came with my Firestudio. It's Cubase 4 LE I think. It has compressor effects built in it for each track. Try that first and see if it works for you. If not, then perhaps you would get a rack unit. I don't know much about which one may be better as they all do pretty much the same thing. Very important for a good drum sound though. I am still experimenting.

  • yea like i know on the back it has 2 ins and 2 outs for pre and out board gear ect. but what i want to know is how do u set it up in the program like each channel has its own sends and returns how do u set that up i looked at the diagram but it doesnt show connections to the comptuer to the outboard gear and back into the computer

  • also what do u do with the mixer? and sorry for all the questions i just gotta know cause i want to use my rack gear

  • i have to ask you how do you used you otboard gear with your softwar like how do you set it up i have a firepod and cubase le how do u hook it all up

  • There are Firepod diagrams on the net showing you all the connections. I record a few ways. Sometime I use my rack gear for playback while recording. That way I don't need to use software effects which effect latency but I still get a kick ass sound in my headphones while I record. I have also sent my drums through my rack comp during recording, I've used my outboard gear during mixdown. So many variations. Does that help or were you looking for more specific which jack goes where?

  • your camera mic has great compression on the drums!! Would be good to add that to your mixes!!

  • woah that must cost like 10grand in total

  • Wow.....pretty good guess man. Including everything it was a few G's more.

    Thanks for checkin it out.

    Boomer

  • Need a roomate, when can i move in LOL

    Nice studio man

  • Thanks man.

  • Let's rock BOOMER!

  • how much would you say you spent on all the equipment in the control room

  • where did you get your police beacon lights

  • Believe it or not.............Wall Mart! They are the cheapo $25 ones. The real ones are in the hundreds and I couldn't find them. The strobes are also Wallmart specials! Rockin roll on a budget!!

    Thanks for watching...

  • fuckin a man, thats gotta be so much fun

  • lol.. oh .. look at the time , stoner . .lol

  • lol look at the time.

  • i have that board

  • How is it working out? I have no complaints at all so far with mine. I even like some of the onboard effects!

  • that's so nice

  • Whats up canadiancouple, how r u. Love your home studio. I have a lil project studio and i would like to know what material is that u have on the walls in the control room. Thank u dude and keep doing your music, nice sound..

  • Hey man. Do a google search for foam soundproofing material to find something in your area. If you live in Canada, check out "The Foam Shop". That's where I got mine from. It's called accustimax or something like that. 2 inch over 1 inch. The little bit I have totalled around $1,000 Canadian so it ain't cheap! Hope that helps.

    Thanks for watching,

  • We get as good an effect with egg crate mattress foam pads used to cover camping air mattresses. They cost less than $20 each and work amazingly well! Just google "camping mattress egg crate foam". This foam is exactly the same stuff just a LOT cheaper!

  • i have RME9632 audioCard and i wanna know which converted need in my studio four a best sound !! i work in cubase ! plz

  • What an honor to have the world famous MR. PREGNANT checking out one of my videos! Come to Canada and we will do some recording man!!!

    Boomer

  • I'm not really sure what version it is. It came with my Firestudio interface. So did the Cubase I am using. We are currently working on a few songs old school (drums, bass, guits, vox) so I haven't touched the reason for a while now. Is reason 4 the best?

  • Thanks man.....still a ways to go yet.

  • Its always 4:20 in the studio man!

  • Ya....I wasn't even going to load it at first but I'm glad I did. It's fun to play with but I still need to learn so much more about it!

    Thanks for watching...

    Boomer

  • Good thing you got those lights and that "power cleaner" or else your beringer mixing desk might not sound good

    Just messing man

  • LOL. There are many Behringer haters out there. I find most of them are the suckas that paid $2,000 for the Mackie! Since I don't plan on quitting my job or becoming the next Bob Ezrin, the behringer exceeds my needs.

    Thanks for watching....

  • nice

  • BOOMER, could you tell me what rackmount fx you use and what make you main mixer is?

    from chalkym

  • Sure man. I cheaped out on the mixer. I was going to buy a Mackie but it was over $2,000! So I settled with a Behringer for about $1,000. I am very impressed with it so far.

  • T.C. Electronics M350 Effects unit is my only effect unit so far. It has 2 channels which is great.

    Hope that helps...

    Thanks for watching...

  • cooooooooooooooooollllllllll studio

  • Cool..minus the live studio,im thinking to open my own amature recording studio. Dont worry Boomer,i live half a world away from u. so,no competition's there. hahhaha

  • No worries man. My studio is just for myself and friends and fun. It's not what I do for a living.....just a cool hobby!

    Thanks for watching

    Boomer

  • dope

  • Well, I know that is some kind of question which nobody answers easily, but how much money did your whole studio cost? I'm starting my own studio at home, but money is the limiting factor!

  • Tough to say exactly. I kept all the receipts but I had a few things already. I'd say that if you are talking about just the recording equipment (computer, firestudio interface, mics, headphone amp, cables), you can get what you need for about $3,000. If you add soundproofing, PA, effects, instruments ect...you get up to 10 - 15 K.

  • hell fucking yeah, are u telling me. im building mine in slow motion lol, it takes a lotta money but i might get it finished if i keep buyin gear everytime i can

  • Cool!! I live in MR as well. Puts my days of old with my Tascam Portastudio to shame, but those were days...8) Rock on!!

  • I agree. I did songs 10 years ago on my tascam 4 track and then redid them in a pro studio a bit later. The tascam versions were always the best! Go figure.

    Thanks for watching The BOOMER Channel

  • What was your control room before?

    Im acctually amazed by your studio and im VERY Jealous as this is like my dream home studio for the time.

    Really Im In Love With Your studio fella.

  • Thanks man! This was a basement room with a closet before. We changed it around a bit, soundproofed and started rockin.

    Thanks for watchin!

  • hey I want to do a home studio for recording my band , can you tell what do I need to get for begein?

  • Sure man. If money is no object then....

    get a decent computer, a "firestudio interface", some monitors and away ya go.

  • You should place the monitors so the tweeters are at the height of your ears to get the sweet spot, it will help you alot!

  • good idea. The plan was to tilt them down towards our ears.

  • what software is this?

  • I am using a firestudio interface and CUBASE comes with it for recording 48 tracks of old school drums, bass ect. It also came with the cool midi software for doing songs from your keyboard. That software is called "Reason Adapted"

  • hahaha "look at the time " 4:20

    really nice studio man it's what i want

  • Thanks man. If you ever have questions that I can help with, let me know.

    Thanks for watching ROCK ON!

  • you know...I don't really see equipement....I do however see MONEY. Nice set up. I am slowly but surely working my way there.

  • fucking awesome studio you got man. NICEEE!!!!!

  • haha i love propellerhead reason, it pretty good work, but there are better like cubase. Ive been working on my studio too, great job bro!!

  • LMFAO!! Ya man the "boom chica" computer music was just me playing around. I built the studio for old school drums, bass, guitars, vocals. Real music. Real musicians playing real instruments. The "Firestudio" device that I bought to record the old school music to my computer came with this cool "70's porn music simulation". So I'm sure after a few months of making cool soundtracks it will be back to recording real instruments again! Thanks for the funny comment!

    Booom

  • GORGEOUS STUDIO. Do you ever produce local bands?

  • Thanks man. It's still not done. It was an empty room and closet only 6 months ago. A few more weeks and it will be complete. I will work on my own stuff for the first 6 months to get a feel for the gear as its all new. And then I will do all kinds of projects.

    ROCK ON SLOTH!

  • OMG PWN!!! Freakin Audio Batcave! That is killer! You need to lend me some sounds!! Effin badass. Watching this reminds me of the first time I opened a video editing program!! Lost and dazed! Cept this is way more! lol

  • BATCAVE! LOL! Ya....we have fun down there for sure. I'll keep ya posted as the sounds develop. Thanks for viewing.

  • Deadly !!!

    Can't wait for more , keep on rockin untill I come a rockin .

    Aqua-Jones
