Completely agree with these points, other than the point about Garageband. If you are a beginner (never recorded before, maybe you have a 2 channel interface and an SM57 or something) and you already own a Mac or an iPad, Garageband is a more than capable piece of software for beginner recordings. It has all the necessary plugins for making an average mix, and an incredibly simple layout that isn't overwhelming to a beginner wanting to record some songs. Software like Reaper, or even fully-featured DAWs like Cubase or Logic (my DAW of choice) may be more powerful and more capable, but the additions those bring aren't necessary for a hobbyist musician wanting to get his songs out of his head and into a computer, especially since Garageband is free.

TIP ON AMPS. For more options in the mixing process, record both a mic track (on an amp) AND a clean DI track. Sometimes amps end up just not working, and you don't realize until later. There are ways to "re-amp" a clean signal to make it usable and you can save that "perfect take."

If you just want to record your guitar and vocals, then Garageband is fine! I think most beginners can do what they want with Garageband for a long time. And then Logic is so easy to swap to when you first know Garageband. Nine Inch Nails can do what they need with Garageband. Then you can probably too, for a start :-)

Extra note, if you're stuck with garageband, track clean DIs, program midi, and make sure that everything is as tight and clean as possible then send a the .band file to an audio engineer such as Fluff or Jared and have them edit, mix, and master. A lot of people say that you can't export midi through garageband, but sending a .band file sends the whole session exactly how you made it and the engineer gets everything. The .band file can be open by anyone with garageband or logic.

A good tip for recording vocals if you're really struggling with finding a separate room to record in, I had to record vocals in a big open room so we took either a big jumper or a picnic blanket, something that was quite dead and dense but not so much that the vocalist had no oxygen and wouldn't be able to breathe let alone sing, and threw it over both mic and vocalist, really helped eliminate reverb and is one of the most budget of budget methods to help isolate vocals :) Happy tracking! :)

I am currently using a palmer DI-Box called the Junction PDI-6, which is a very quirky little device that does a few things. It records your sound directly from a speaker out, you will still need a speaker cabinet attached because else you might fuck up your whole amp. It has a Through out where you can attach a speaker cabinet to that you want to record on (this is very usefull because the DI also acts like a speaker impulse generator so it might add something really nice to your signal. What you can do too is use it like a regular DI and plug it into your mixer through XLR but you won't necessarily need speaker impulses because they are already build in.

just getting into recording/writing music. when it comes to plugins vs live amps i'd say you have to consider the situation you're in. if you are recording at home you're probably better off using plug-ins, since you won't be able to crank your valve amp to get the best tones (unless you're neighbors are cool with that or you have a sound proof room). also, using plug-ins allows you to tweak your settings after you've recorded your track (take out some bass, add more gain w/e). Also, on the motivational side, it's nice to listen to some of your favorite bands old stuff (for me: Don't Close Your Eyes EP by PWD or Looks Fragile After All by ABR). It really goes to show you that everybody has to start somewhere. and with todays software you can actually achieve the same, if not even better, quality than they did, and people still love the old stuff even if the quality is not as high as it is today.

When it comes to mic, I almost always suggest a 57. Reason is sooner or later you WILL buy 57s anyway. The second mic I suggest when you save up again is an allrounder large dia condenser. Allrounder meaning with pad, rolloff and multi pattern. NT2A is a nice choice. So is the 2050 or 4050 if you can afford one. Then you're set for most stuff. Anything else is specialization like ribbons, 906 for harsh metal sound, pencil condensers for dual micing acoustic fretboard along with the aforementioned 'allrounder' on the body and dedicated vocal mics like 4047(love!). By then you should know enough to decide for yourself.

great video. I think you guys hit all the major points. One thing I might add would be to keep the process simple at first: Don't try to layer the same guitar track 30 times when you're starting out. You'll just get confused and frustrated. I basically just do 2 guitar tracks panned left/right with bass/drums/vox somewhere in between. Works good at least for just doing a demo. Also people need to learn the basics about compression, EQ, and setting levels.

daxster25 I don't say that you should buy crap. But you can do professional recordings with a 200$ interface and a 300$ vocal mic or even cheaper. If you're going to build a big studio and have to spend a lot of money anway, sure go ahead. But in the end the quality of the recording is 90% skill and only 10% equipment (imo). When it comes to vocal mics the choice also heavily depends on the vocalist. Always keep in mind that some of the best records were made with SM58 or SM7 mics, not necessarily with a 20k$ Telefunken.

really great advices! i started recording and mixing about 5 years ago, and still i am a beginner, and STILL not able to make things sound like i would them to sound, no proper space room equipment and SKILL obviously! one important thing i learned throughout the years, HEADPHONES ARE THE ENEMY, i tried to mix with (bad) headphones for years giving myself a LOT of frustration. so i suggest DON'T MIX WITH HEADPHONES! you may need them for few things but try to stay away from them!

Great information, thanks 😀 I've been working on a weekly song project for 2015, trying to improve my playing, writing, and recording after some years away from playing. Slowly improving my gear, next step is Logic (currently using Garageband...). I've found each step has brought new things to learn, such as replacing my horrible analogue iRig and a USB microphone with a Focusrite interface and SM58 and whilst it helped me record my guitar and vocal parts far more clearly, it was also less forgiving with my sloppiness, so perhaps I'd add that as an extra step - Take the time to learn each piece of hard/software and how it affects what you're doing.

Hey Jared awesome video, just a thought hitting drums really hard doesn't always produce the best tone/ sound. Sometimes if you're wanting a big ass drum track, it comes by backing off and hitting a little bit softer, the heads aren't chocked and have room to breathe. Todd sucherman, drummer from styx told a story at one of his clinics of playing loud (and man he plays loud.) and no one was feeling the groove, he recorded it again, same groove same everything but changed how hard he played and it made all the difference. take care man

There's one person I've been helping out a lot who recently started doing home recordings, here are some of the tidbits I offered to him: If you can't afford actual studio monitors, listen to your mix through as many different sets of speakers/headphones as you can manage, so you at least have some idea what adjustments you need to make. Example: the first recording this guy sent me, the bass was making my computer monitor rattle it was so high in the mix. For guitarists: Find another guitarist's tone that you want to emulate to some extent, and see if anyone has come up with a way to get that tone on your setup. I wanted an Amon Amarth-style tone for my Line 6, and it just so happened that a few people had already put in the legwork and posted their specs online. Also, while dialing in your tone, don't panic if you think the tone sounds too tinny by itself, you'd be surprised how much better the guitars sound after you record the bass track. Best tip I can offer: Do research. Find KZitemrs that have posted videos showing how they mix their stuff. Even if some of the things they suggest sound dumb, try it out. I was stubborn about how I recorded bass tracks until I noticed every tutorial I watched said the same thing: record a clean track, clone it, distort the cloned track. Made a big difference once I started doing it.

After nearly 2 years of doing home recording, I still consider myself an amateur, but a very wise amateur when it comes to audio engineering. If I was starting all over again today, here's exactly what I would buy: 1. LOGIC PRO X. $200. For the recording musician, Logic's User Interface is really simple, easy to learn, and the number of features available in the DAW itself are second to none. It will have everything you need to get started (including a Time-Pitch correction plug-in ... which is a $100 value in and of itself). The virtual drums can be MIDI programmed for custom performances, and the guitar amps are good enough for demos. In terms of other processing plug-ins, the stock ones are robust and comprehensive to the point that you won't need to buy anything else to get a thorough mix completed. 2. TASCAM US-16x08 USB Audio Interface. ~$250 USED. For the value, it gives you an insane amount of inputs -- 16 total -- all at 96kHz resolution. In the event that one of the inputs fail, you'll still have plenty to use. If the whole thing breaks, it's cheap enough to replace without breaking the bank. 3. SHURE SM57. $80 USED. Everybody uses it on everything. You will too. 4. RODE NT1a Microphone. ~$250 USED (AS A BUNDLE). "It records what you hear". A classic industry standard microphone made in Australia. Others may have their preferences, but for overall value and price point, this is the best buy. Large Diaphragm Condenser microphones are not only great vocal mics, but they are outstanding mono overhead drum mics, acoustic instruments, ambient room mics, and when properly spaced away from speaker cabinets or kick drums - can get you some different tones to work with. 5. AKG D112. $130 NEW. One of the best kick drum mics there is. You can't beat the price too. 6. DIY Piezo Pickup Systems. $5. These things are cheap, can be configured on anything that vibrates (drum heads, drum shells, acoustic instruments, throats, speaker cabinets, etc.) and are worth experimenting with. Although for some things you may need a preamp to boost the signal. Speaking of... 7. ART ProChannel II Channel Strip. $300. There is significant debate these days as to wether or not analog equipment is needed any more to record professional sounding music when you can do everything in the DAW. However, a vast majority of your favorite rock and pop artists still record through analog consoles or very expensive Universal Audio analog units - even if things are getting mixed and mastered in ProTools or another DAW. If you are in love with music that predates the digital recording era (basically everything before 2000) then adding a tube channel strip into your signal chain will get you the results you want. You can always track without it and reamp through later on for A/B comparison. 8. SHURE CVL Lavalier Microphone + SHURE 4-pin to XLR Adapter. ~$60 NEW. Lavalier microphones are the hidden weapons of live sound engineers, and they are slowly creeping into the home studio because they are cheap and can be configured for essentially any recording application. Try them out on toms, use them to record a second vocal track to get more of a chest voice (but check phasing!), or take a bunch of them on the road if you want a super portable recording studio setup. ALMOST $1300 for the whole shopping list, but when you consider the cost of recording a professional 5-song EP at a local recording studio, this is actually not a whole lot of money. Yes, you can get away with software instead of hardware (especially when it comes to recording drums), but at the end of the day, the gear above will get you into the ballpark of Grammy Award quality music.

Here's another set of tips that are not about gear. 1. BEFORE YOU RECORD YOUR FIRST SONG.... just have fun recording things and getting to know what your microphones sound like and what plug-ins do, and what your audio interface is fully capable of handling. Record instruments solo, play with panning and sound levels and bouncing the audio to different file formats (MP3, etc.). 2. Pick one of your favorite songs of all time that you really enjoy singing or playing along to, and try to make a professional cover of that song in your DAW. Preferably, cover a song that was relatively simple to begin with like anything in the Beatles or AC/DC repertoire, or vintage 80s metal. You will learn so much doing this there is not enough room in the comments section to explain why. It will save you so much time later on when you begin recording your own music or take on clients. 3. Dive into the deep end of blogs, websites, KZitem, or books about recording engineering. People go to school, for very long periods, in order to learn this craft. So, in a way, you need to go to school too... The School of Hard Knocks. Become a student and teach yourself. Never stop. 4. When you're ready to take on clients, charge them $80 per song. Yeah it's not a whole lot, but after your first 3 clients, not only will you have recouped your initial gear investment expenses, but you'll get a good reputation, have a decent portfolio of completed work, and you'll be an all around better producer and person for it because it's not about the money, it's about the music. In a four person band, $80 is $20 a person, so if the whole band chips in (like they should), then they can easily afford a 5-song demo EP for $400. Remember, you are not only competing with other studios, but you are competing with the fact that people can drop the same amount of cash for their own home studio and simply bypass you altogether, so you need to be affordable in comparison for your first few clients. 5. You are ready to take on clients when you've recorded your own EP.

Hey Jared & Fluff (Jarluff),Good to see you guys collaborating on another video, next questions.......When your recording a 4 piece band (guitarist, bassist, drummer, vocalist), which instruments should be recorded first, does it matter? I figured it doesn't matter, as long as all the parts are played to a click. But what do I know, What are your thoughts?

You both *NAILED* these 10 items. Absolutely nailed them. And I made the ProTools mistake. I also made the mistake of thinking that I could fix a poor performance with technology trickery. Nope. If it's recorded weak, then weak it will remain. And the thing about the mics I found to be true as well, but as important as the mics is mic placement and instrument bleed. I got drums in the guitar and bass tracks, bass in the drum overheads...it is hard to properly mix when you have multiple instruments on every track. But, I learned, and those first few attempts at recording were painful but needed. And lastly, Garage Band is not a bad tool for composing and presenting your ideas to other musicians in your band and the recording engineer. But that is the limit to Garage Band, as you so stated. Well made vid. I wonder if there's a "Shit Recording Engineers Say" video?

As a Pro Tools user, I actually agree with most of the points you made! Audio quality is virtually identical between all DAWs, and there are quite a few limitations with Pro Tools, mostly due to its inability to use VST plugins. However, I find its incredibly powerful routing and editing tools to be very convenient and really do like the time saving shortcuts and abilities that is offers over Cubase and Live (both of which I used in the past) I personally really like Pro Tools, but I only decided to upgrade from Cubase after months of research and hands on experience with both products.

1. It takes practice 2. Spend money on a great microphone 3. Your sound quality is of paramount importance 4. Be prepared to record your part 5. Keep your gear new/“fresh” (See no. 2) 6. Get a good amp, not relying on plugins 7. Record isolated vocals (if you’re using them) 8. Cater your choice of interface to your music 9. Ignore Pro-Tools (Logic, Reaper, Cubbase) 10. Get critique on your production

I would highly recommend Reaper as a DAW for beginners: 1- it's fully capable to make a high quality recording and is weekly updated. These updates take less than a minute to install (and it's optional, so you choose when to install it) 2- it's easy to start with and while you're recording "your" music, you will learn techniques that will also work on more expensive DAWs (and even analog studios) 3- it's free version is not crippled in any way, except the delay counter when starting it up. While the paid version is only $60 (+/-). 4- I didn't get paid to write this, but am still using Reaper for home recording and having lots of fun doing that. Possibly the most important thing.

I actually checked out an Orance CR120 because of one of fluff's videos. I know it's not tube, but it actually records pretty well for rhythms. One thing I would like to add for people who record with plugins (from someone who uses amplitube a bit): you can use your own pedals with plugins. I'm not the biggest fan of the fuzzes or overdrives in amplitube, so I'll just run my own pedals in front of it.

FOR LINUX USERS: If you are looking to record and produce music on Linux, I very highly recommend using Ubuntu Studio. It comes with QTractor and Ardour, two very effective free pieces of DAW software. It comes with some good virtual instrument software, like virtual guitar/bass amps Guitarix and Rakarrack, and the Hydrogen drum machine. With a low-latency Linux kernel, the JACK audio server will run very nicely at low latencies and power your recording studio quite well.

Mic's: I bought myself a Lewitt 640 ts, primarily for use of vocals in a vocal booth (Isovox V2) and I'll be damned if it doesn't blow almost everything else out of the water... It's easily on par with mic's 7 times that expensive, still 900 usd isn't quite cheap (at least that was the price in Europe when I bought it). STILL... I bought a Devine BM600 microphone for like 115 bucks and added 40 to get it modded (better condensors and stuff to release the "bromming" radio talkhost sound), and as a chinese knock-off it's absolutely perfect for podcasts and even great for instrument recordings. At that price it supports cardiod, figure of 8, -10db pad switch (to record loud amps for example, the mic has a tolerance up to 130 db) low cut filter and omni. Not to be compared to the dual capsule stereo Lewitt 640 ts though. That's a mic that simply just does it all, even record 2 spores sepperately in stereo with 2 xlr's. -Vocals: Next to the mics, as spoken about in the vid, you'll definitly need some room treatment or acoustics. I use the isovox v2, perfect studio quality, portable, optional carrying bag... It's the most awesome thing I have in my home studio since it help me perform my side profession as session vocalist and voice actor in combination with the lewitt 640ts. It's easily another 800$ or more and add another 150 if you want the carrying bag but it really is the highest of standards and will most certainly save you LOTS of money trying to do room treatment. You can even loosen the vocal booth from it's stand and use it over a cab. It's amazing. Point is: do your research, read reviews, don't rely on reviews too much but try to talk to people who use them in real life, also because watching reviews or demonstrations depend on your laptop/desktop speakers and the quality of your monitors, even knowing online sound is almost always very compressed. Real life experience is the best measurement. So, either talk to people who have used the mic you are looking for or get a place to try it out and listen to your on recording.` I'm still a noob at recording a full band and stuff but at least I learned that much. We all start somewhere, dont we?! -Amps:… I'll get a lot of hate for this, but I chose the peavey vypyr 1OO pro due to it's versatility and very close sound to the amps they are actually modelling… + unlimited overdubbing makes songwriting a pleasure, you can just correct yourself over and over again or play melody over rhythm + 4 amp slots, all with their own effects chain, possible to play them simultaniously to get one huge wall of sound... The amp has a learning curve but once you master it... I've amazed many people with actual 5150's with this transistor transtube combo amp. Also 1000 bucks but if you're on a budget and take your time to look out and try stuff, you'll learn a lot. -Interface: I chose the focusrite clarett 2 pre thunderbolt, if I ever want to record drums I have the option to buy the clarett octopre and connect it through adac. The reason I chose the thunderbolt version is simply because, no matter how many plug-ins you load, you won't be bothered by latency + it has all the outputs to attach your studio monitors and a subwoofer. -DAW: I use Logic X and reaper. Reaper is amazing, it's so hard to believe what you get for such a low price… I'd recommend it for anyone, I've yet to find a person who is dissapointed by this DAW. Logic X: almost, if not completely, gives you a daw that usually costs between 600-1200 bucks and it does not fail in comparison. I heard 200 bucks here, I believe I paid 399 back in the days. Still, it's a killer DAW. -As I said, I'm still a noob, take what I said with a grain of salt, but it works for me and everything I learn something new it seems the gear I've got does the job for it and never falls short. Any feedback is welcome, you can hit me down, you can ask questions, you can break me to pieces by my idiocy, every comment could be a learning experience so I'm definitly up for it!

My tip: Buy really good mic preamps. If you're handy with a soldering iron, BY FAR the best value in mic pres is the kits offered by Seventh Circle Audio. They're "clones" (minor differences) of famous circuits like Neve 1073, API 512, Jensen TwinServo. Prices per channel are quite reasonable when compared against the name brand, ready-made units. The N72 (Neve) is under $400 per channel (+ the enclosure). I have four N72, and eight J99 (Jensen TwinServo), and they're all brilliant. They are the best investment I've made in gear. Just don't judge them on how they look, because they're not at all fancy-lookin'.

haven't been recording too long, so take these with a grain or gallon of salt, but some good things to try are... - -Always experiment and try new things, -Make the guitar and bass sound as different as possible to make them contrast and stand out -Try to make each layer of guitar sound different through changing your amp's eq, or even using a different amp. (for me, i like scooped mids on the left, tons of mids in the center, and different amp with tons of distortion to the right) -Try adding some reverb on the drums -Don't let the vocalist cup the mic.
