As a professional audio engineer who mixes A LOT of recordings made by musicians at home, I really appreciate you mentioning the recording level of "-12 dBm." For whatever reason 95% of home recordings are recorded way too HOT (loud). In this age of modern digital recording, there's no need to record with the meters in the yellow, with an occasional red led, or "over." Save space for headroom, people! It will sound better in the end.

the fastest growing pro audio channel in the west.

Interface and settings tutorials would be greatly appreciated and likely be very popular..

Big ole correction on the buffer size. A smaller buffer size means you need a lot more processing power. When shrinking the buffer you are essentially decreasing the amount of time the CPU has to do it's work, but if a CPU is too weak or slow it won't keep up.... you will get crackles, snaps, and glitches.
A larger buffer means you are giving the CPU more time to calculate or process everything, and is much more friendly to older or slower CPUs.

ELI5: a larger buffer size is like giving a CPU paper and pencil to slowly go through everything and double check their answers open book test style. A smaller buffer size is like asking a CPU to answer a 60 question in less than a minute, BUT if they don't answer 1 question in 1 second correctly or in time the teacher slaps them.

It would be nice to do a video talking about creating presets for live performance (levels, comp, eq...). Thanks

[AndrewMooreLearningLicks]

You made the video we talked about 👍🏼
Absolutely brilliant and my favourite new YouTube channel 😀

We are using Amplitude with iPhone and iRig 2. It sounds amazing.

You can also play in live performances, using above rig.

Lots of DAW's have some kind of low latency mode, like Logic Pro, Studio One... With that engaged there is no audible latency, even when recording with a lots of plugins on your channel.

*This may be just what I need to conserve on space in an already small and crowded studio🤔🇯🇲*

[bobwreck]

Thanks man. You're helping me feel comfortable to getting into this all.

[hiimki]

this was the most straightforward, easy to understand tutorial. Thank you a bunch.

[sunchylde]

look up SCUFFHAM SGEAR -> add an overdrive pedal in front of the interface -> ENJOY!

[MiguelLSilva-efis]

Great explanation. Concise and going over all the important stuff. Thanks!

[tjames]

I'm so happy I still have rocksmith usb cord because this amazing stuff

[Ehsender]

Great video thank you! But what about volume on the guitar? Always at 10?

[CoryLunaDrums]

Thank you for your upload it's easy to understand for dummies like me

I basically need something for practice at home and to have the best bang for the buck pedalboard and rig wise. This seems smarter than buying a line 6 helix for $1, 000 just for at home practice.

Amplitude also has a android version you can use if you have the irig

Pay attention to the left channel switch boards 123 i usually go two or three. Noisegate your amp feedback! Amplitube isn't ment to be quiet or ampless but you can make your own presets like i've done and my presets are authentic and accurate!

[painlesstragedy]

Running ezdrummer2 with amplitube5 and bias fx 2 is the way to go for big full sound!
