When you use ACID PRO, does it need an interface with an phone output for you to be able to hear what you do with it. Or you could just use the speakers of the computer???
But i was wondering, I am trying to configure a really basic studio with a midi keyboard and i was looking for a software that would let me record from it. ( i am a total begginer in home recording) . And maybe a few tips on how to configure the whole thing.
i also use acid pro as my main tool for recording,
just tought to ask you, you know how to punch in and out of midi? i have a song where i need to continue second part ,on same midi track,but if i go a couple bars back and hit record it erases part of the midi i had recorded,is there a way to punch in a new midi session on same track with out messing up the previous work??,i know you can do this while recording audio,you just follow up, but in midi??
cool video. i think acid pro is wonderful and easy to use. might want to experiment with recording guitars and bass in mono. it has cleaned up my sound in acid pro. thanks.
@TheTurdBurglur - for the money I like Shure SM57's and Shure SM58's mixed with an AKG CE1000 condenser. I have done amazing work with those 3 mics and very precise mic placement. You can always spend more and get better, but you can find all those for 50-100 each.
I like your set up. I'm trying to get into a home studio set up myself. Saved up about $1200 and already have a new laptop i got from christmas. I like how you can dial up the guitar sound etc, but In your vid, you use no microphone to record guitar? I was just making sure that was possible. I tried searching the comment section, but if you could elaborate a lil more on that kind of set up which would be ideal for me right now to begin with.
@austinicity thanks, I would really suggest you get a firewire mixer. I just got a used one on ebay and I can record instruments (direct line in like guitar), or mics... i got a phonic firewire mixer. If your budget is smaller (like me) the next best option is to get a USB or firewire soundcard - a soundcard is required to get the guitar signal into the computer where you can then add effects and process the sound to be cool. msg me if you are not sure what I mean...
@jeffhamula Can I get a high end audio interface instead of buying a new soundcard on my laptop for quality recording, or do I have to replace the factory soundcard althogether on my laptop and then get an audio interface? Thats what I'm a bit confused about. thanks for helping out
@austinicity - yes, the audio interfaces come in several varieties... USB2.0, PCIM, Firewire. The USB and firewire versions have what are called "break out boxes" that may have additional knobs and features or inputs and outputs. I have always disabled or removed the soundcard on the computers I use and just enable the interface. Some of the early interfaces were only PCI cards (just like sound cards) but were designed for direct monitoring and not just play back of digital sound.
thanks - yes nice moments. I used to play out a lot, for work, but right now it is more of a hobby. Trying to learn this stuff from the local music store just doesn't happen.
@jeffhamula no the greatest thing ever is using some cheap or mid priced microphone like from a rock band game or one on some webcams and using a 15 watt practice amp (preferably randall) and just using garage band on a mac computer it works amazing, you get a great guitar sound from it (for a home studio) and it has an awesome drum maching that can make pretty much any beat and sounds pretty real, plus the mikes usually record vocals pretty well
@Killer9299 i don't know what you are talking about... randall??? macs should work better for how much they cost. my dells work great, and I now use reaper - one of the best software packages - you can try it for free as well.
How come when I record vocals or an instrument into acid, I cannot hear it comming out of the speakers? Like when I plug keyboard into computer I cannot hear what I'm playing. Same with the vocals. When mic is plugged in I cannot hear anything comming out so I don't know what it is sounding like.
@Makiller82 get a sound card /interface that is designed for this. I just bought a firewire mixer that records 12 tracks at once. It was 100 bucks on ebay...
i am putting the bass through the computer as well. I must say, generally it is hard to get the bass to sound good for live sound through the PA - I prefer to run the bass through the bass amp or take a line out off the amp to record.
You need a sound card/interface. The one I have used is the EMU 0404 PCI which slides into a slot inside your PC (50-99 dollars). However, if your condenser needs phantom power, you may want to get a USB or Firewire interface that has the panel you plug the mic into. let me know if you have questions
HOW U plugged things with it... i mea with acid pro? .. i have to record everything through my mic... and becouse of that i dont have that good quality :(
Man that was great! Sounded a lot like a reggae beat man. Mad nice. Even tho u just threw it together it was ill.
I'm just looking to record over hip hop beats. Do you know any easy to use program for recording vocals over a beat thats not like audacity where u can edit and such? Somethin more professional perhaps.
I don't really understand how to use it and make anything sound good. I am better at playing the actual instrument and tracking them than building beats.
HELP! Okay i'm thinking of recording the band i'm in at the moment, firstly to get our ideas saved, and also in the long run i think it's going to be useful to put together tracks using software like cubase. I will be getting a new pc tower soon, which will have 2 gb ram or higher. However i'm inexperienced and all this studio jargon about inferaces/outputs ect is confusing. What do i need to get started? I have watched this vid and it helped a bit but i am still lost.Thanks in advance.
get a soundcard - mine was 79 bucks. You need a basic interface that was designed to capture sound and translate that into computer language in your PC. Mine was one that you just put a card into the motherboard of the PC (cheapest bang for your buck). There are firewire and USB interfaces, but they start at 150+ bucks. check out my other videos.
I can't hear myself when I record, but I can hear the guitar after recording when I press play so how can you listen to your guitar and the added Amplitube effects while recording?
hey i rap and i dont need a keyboard or anything to make beats all i want is to be able to up load beats/instrumentals on to the computer and then be able to record my vocals and mix them.. i have a low budget but i want it to be the best quality that it can be 4 around $500(minus the computer). I literally have nothing rite now not even a computer but Can u help me on what i need to buy??.. and i obviously know a computer is the1st step but i wanna kno wut kinda mic, software, ect. i need
i would get a mic, a soundcard, and preamp.I like shure SM58 mics (if you have a typical voice) or an AKG c1000 if you have a thin voice. ebay for 50 -100 bucks. next, get a sound card made for recording and monitoring. I have EMU 0404 - see my other videos. I also use a presonus tube-pre that really warms and shapes my voice - about 100 dollars. If you are going to perform live, get a Powered mixer and speakers, if not, get studio monitors. Let me know if you have questions....
alright yeah thanx 4 the tips i dont wanna buy a bunch of equipment that i dont need.... so i kno i need a mic and studio speakers but im pretty dumb when it comes to technology. What is a souncard?? I have no idea wut it is. nd I think a preamp is the thing that the mic wires go into, right?
Personally I don't like rap music espeically when their music is created with user friendly software where they have no actual music talent. I strongly believe that most rappers use a USB Microphone (which i suppose is good quality) and use the computer to do everything else. Then the professional studio masters and DJ's remaster and remix their rap music before it gets published. Most rap music today sucks because of this and old school rap sounds a lot better because they used more.
I think a lot of rap, like a lot of music is just designed to be entertainment. With that in mind, I like some rap as entertainment, but prefer musical music the best. Rappers have a lot of studio guys behind the scenes getting all the stuff to sound right...
you need the sound card that can do that - the one I use has ASIO drivers that makes it possible to route to both your output and the recording at the same time.
i have sony acid pro 7 and amplitube 2..i use m-audio jamlab as audio interface..how can i use the amplitube as my effects in sony acid pro 7?need help..
do you need a power amp if you are not planning on using the speaker setup, me and my friends are on a real tight budget and need to know what is the best price.
you don't need a power amp if you plan on using headphones or like PC speakers. My set up was geared at the requirement of having the ability to play out, or have a drummer come over and sit in.
so you can just use pc headphones, cause i have high quality sony studio monitor headphones, and im thinking of using those, so thanks now i can make music under 250
yeah, the output needs to be boosted some how - the cheapest option is to get computer speakers with head phone outputs... the sound card I have doesn't have headphone outputs, but there are some more expensive ones that do.
Nice vid and music skills :) I can only get guitar rig 3 vst to record in mono in acid 6 but the standalone guitar rig app sounds better and in stereo?
about like your English? Let me guess what is next... "get a mac???" Your comment is the first negative in over 139 in almost 2 years. Do you have anything better?
just wondering, how can i power unpowered cabinets when i have an unpowered mixer? i decided that i need some big ass speakers and found some... i dont wanna buy a powered mixer since i cant find any with capability's of my current one..
which model was the one that you use? and thanks :P my music teacher was wrong, he said they dont need amplification... he is wrong cause the speakers are passive
I have a cheap behringer mixer, a numark power amp, a behringer EQ, and 2 Peavey 700 Watt speakers. I have seen both powered speakers, powered mixers, but I prefer to have separate unites so that you can mix and match.
Nice! This is kind of similar to my first setup. I had a SoundBlaster AWE32 card with a 49 key controller and recorded in Evolution Audio though :) I felt so proud! The good old days of making do with whatever you can get hold of and patching it all together.
what are you using now? I have already migrated to REAPER and use EZDrummer for my drums instead of loops. Everyone keeps saying to go to a mac, but I can't justify it --- yet
I don't use Mac - yet - for the main reason it's 'cheaper' not to use them in the long run (unless you're making enough to justify it ofc). I'm semi-pro at the moment and using Cubase as my DAW / Adobe Audition for pre-processing of audio and CD mix finalising. MOTU 24i/o audio interface for input, Focusrite TT-Pro for mic preamp/instrument input, some other random crap aswell as a nice Tascam 34B Reel2Reel. Sound so warm! I may make a short vid to show my setup, but my camera is a bit crap.
I have a basic power amp that runs a PA through a passive mixer... I use the same set up to play live so I have 500Watt mains and 2500 watt power amp. It could work with a basic powered studio monitor also - but I needed to kill two birds with one stone. thanks for checking me out.
thanks for the feedback. I use the mesa live a lot because the emulation stuff never sounds right in front of real drums in a live mix. Don't know why.... But I have never been able record tracks with it and have them turn out right - emulation seems to work better for that (for me). I have a 57 and a 58 and some condensers... maybe my room is the problem or my mic placement?
hey friend, so please i stumbled across your vid, ive got a 0404 usb and having no luck with it what soever, for example is it really that crap that you cant play along to itunes whilst composing on FLOOPS OR REASON, it seems to only want to play one stream at a time, when you tru to play two it seems to prioritise and disable the less important? also the latency problems are very annoying did you have these probs...
it sounds like you have a configuration problem - try using the ASIO drivers and disable the windows ones or even an onboard sound card (in bios) if you have one.
Change the latency to 20ms or 50ms and see if it works better... Next, you can start to alter the settings to optimize audio... Also, make sure that you turn off any on board sound and options in BIOS and Vista. I use XP, but stayed on 2000 for a long time until all the patches caught up
Hey jaffhamula...I like the work. I have had a midi controller for over a year and cant figure out how to use it. Its the M-Audio Axiom 25...I run Acid Pro 6 and doesnt seem compatible. I am working on getting the new Acid Pro 7 which from what I read is built now for midi. What do I need in order to record my midi sounds...or even make my midi sounds? I know Pro 7 comes with some extra programs to help out but this is frustrating as hell to not be able to use my midi controller. Thanks
thanks! I have discovered that other software is better at midi. In fact, recently I have been using a free software called Reaper - you can download it from their site.
I have studiologic midi controller that I use with my midi sound card (EMU 0404). I enable the ASIO midi drivers in the ACID, or the software synth (like Native Instruments). My keyboard does nothing but send midi signals (doesn't receive) so I plug it into my midi in on my sound card. What sound card do you have?
13 dislikes? Wtf. Link your studio video if yours is cooler. LIKE!

do you need a power amp if you are not planning on using the speaker setup, me and my friends are on a real tight budget and need to know what is the best price.
narn31 2 years ago
you don't need a power amp if you plan on using headphones or like PC speakers. My set up was geared at the requirement of having the ability to play out, or have a drummer come over and sit in.
jeffhamula 2 years ago
so you can just use pc headphones, cause i have high quality sony studio monitor headphones, and im thinking of using those, so thanks now i can make music under 250
narn31 2 years ago
yeah, the output needs to be boosted some how - the cheapest option is to get computer speakers with head phone outputs... the sound card I have doesn't have headphone outputs, but there are some more expensive ones that do.

Nice vid and music skills :) I can only get guitar rig 3 vst to record in mono in acid 6 but the standalone guitar rig app sounds better and in stereo?
gangstaofhamster 2 years ago
I always go stand alone and record wet in stereo for guitars. I don't know why, but maybe because most my experience is live instead of studio???

just wondering, how can i power unpowered cabinets when i have an unpowered mixer? i decided that i need some big ass speakers and found some... i dont wanna buy a powered mixer since i cant find any with capability's of my current one..
ajk321 2 years ago
you need a power amp. Don't get a powered mixer if you already have a mixer.
jeffhamula 2 years ago
which model was the one that you use? and thanks :P my music teacher was wrong, he said they dont need amplification... he is wrong cause the speakers are passive
ajk321 2 years ago
I have a cheap behringer mixer, a numark power amp, a behringer EQ, and 2 Peavey 700 Watt speakers. I have seen both powered speakers, powered mixers, but I prefer to have separate unites so that you can mix and match.

Nice! This is kind of similar to my first setup. I had a SoundBlaster AWE32 card with a 49 key controller and recorded in Evolution Audio though :) I felt so proud! The good old days of making do with whatever you can get hold of and patching it all together.
jimbobg65 2 years ago
what are you using now? I have already migrated to REAPER and use EZDrummer for my drums instead of loops. Everyone keeps saying to go to a mac, but I can't justify it --- yet
jeffhamula 2 years ago
I don't use Mac - yet - for the main reason it's 'cheaper' not to use them in the long run (unless you're making enough to justify it ofc). I'm semi-pro at the moment and using Cubase as my DAW / Adobe Audition for pre-processing of audio and CD mix finalising. MOTU 24i/o audio interface for input, Focusrite TT-Pro for mic preamp/instrument input, some other random crap aswell as a nice Tascam 34B Reel2Reel. Sound so warm! I may make a short vid to show my setup, but my camera is a bit crap.
jimbobg65 2 years ago
I really like that MOTU unit - something like that will be my next investment.

Hello,
what is your power amp ? It is a basic sono power amp or special guitar/instrument power amp ?
Thank you very good vid.
Rockab33 2 years ago
I have a basic power amp that runs a PA through a passive mixer... I use the same set up to play live so I have 500Watt mains and 2500 watt power amp. It could work with a basic powered studio monitor also - but I needed to kill two birds with one stone. thanks for checking me out.
jeffhamula 2 years ago
sounds good, but........
Please drop the emulation software, get yourself an SM57, and record that Mesa!
Jeremo18 2 years ago
thanks for the feedback. I use the mesa live a lot because the emulation stuff never sounds right in front of real drums in a live mix. Don't know why.... But I have never been able record tracks with it and have them turn out right - emulation seems to work better for that (for me). I have a 57 and a 58 and some condensers... maybe my room is the problem or my mic placement?
jeffhamula 2 years ago
hmmmmm
I'm not really sure
you'd think that thing would sound really good with a mic in front of it
I guess it's just something you have to mess around with a lot
it is pretty hard to record guitar amps sometimes for some reason

hey friend, so please i stumbled across your vid, ive got a 0404 usb and having no luck with it what soever, for example is it really that crap that you cant play along to itunes whilst composing on FLOOPS OR REASON, it seems to only want to play one stream at a time, when you tru to play two it seems to prioritise and disable the less important? also the latency problems are very annoying did you have these probs...
gray3287 2 years ago
it sounds like you have a configuration problem - try using the ASIO drivers and disable the windows ones or even an onboard sound card (in bios) if you have one.
jeffhamula 2 years ago
yo man i have 7 but how do i set the out puts and inputs i have eveything set up but i cnt get the mic to record
youngscoot 3 years ago
it is all in the sound card - what sound card do you have?
jeffhamula 2 years ago
I have the 0404 but i am still learning to use it, i get loads of clicky and annoying noises when using it with vista though, vista sucks.
thedcase 3 years ago
Change the latency to 20ms or 50ms and see if it works better... Next, you can start to alter the settings to optimize audio... Also, make sure that you turn off any on board sound and options in BIOS and Vista. I use XP, but stayed on 2000 for a long time until all the patches caught up
jeffhamula 3 years ago
Thanks i will try those and then i will probably just install xp again.

Hey jaffhamula...I like the work. I have had a midi controller for over a year and cant figure out how to use it. Its the M-Audio Axiom 25...I run Acid Pro 6 and doesnt seem compatible. I am working on getting the new Acid Pro 7 which from what I read is built now for midi. What do I need in order to record my midi sounds...or even make my midi sounds? I know Pro 7 comes with some extra programs to help out but this is frustrating as hell to not be able to use my midi controller. Thanks
swishaswisha 3 years ago
thanks! I have discovered that other software is better at midi. In fact, recently I have been using a free software called Reaper - you can download it from their site.
I have studiologic midi controller that I use with my midi sound card (EMU 0404). I enable the ASIO midi drivers in the ACID, or the software synth (like Native Instruments). My keyboard does nothing but send midi signals (doesn't receive) so I plug it into my midi in on my sound card. What sound card do you have?
