Knowing most of the stuff already, I still watch every video. There's always something to gain from hearing different explanations and experiences. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to learn more ^^

I record keyboards, and I can't handle anything above 10 ms. Some might say that's impossible to differentiate 0 ms from 10 ms, but being a piano player, I can totally "feel" the difference from 6 ms to 12 ms, for example.

Ayyyy REAPER DAW gang‼️
I always loved that 5 seconds it gave to think about my choice to "proceed to program" long after the free 30 days

[vargagyork]

You have the most informative language and effective communication skills I have ever seen on YouTube. I didn’t even lost my attention for 1 second. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Another great video, Kyle! Although I know most of the stuff, I still enjoy watching your videos because you go into details about any subject. Keep up the good work!

Solid RME. The Lewit Connect is very dope too and simple to use.

[colasko]

I like your vids because when i see you I know you know what your talking about. Thanx again

I ended up running a completely separate monitor path because my interface doesn’t have direct monitoring. My mics go to XLR splitters, one goes to interface and the other goes to a mixer for monitoring. It’s an expensive solution, but now I have a dedicated monitoring system that is independent of my recording which is quite nice

Hi Kyle, I really appreciate all of your videos, even though I might know what you are speaking about it's always good to return to topics in an organized and rational way.
I'm a happy owner of an Apollo Twin (USB) and RME Babyface Pro fs as well, actually I've owned Babyfaces since their first version, the one with that horrible breakout cable, still their sound, stability, sturdiness is unbeatable. As for the Apollo, I think their plugins are great but far too expensive ....
Keep on going with this fantastic job!
Happy holidays!

If you trigger VST's with a electronic drum kit then RME is the number 1 choice.

I just got the Focusrite Solo interface. I was having problems with the clicks/pops. I found out I was running out of RAM on my older pc. Clearing out old unused programs and cached data cleared up my RAM and gave me more tonise. This eliminated all the clicks/pops I was having.

The one thing that I've seen that really gets to me, is if I'm doing anything with my PC requiring a microphone, if I'm using the windows microphone monitoring setting, I tend to talk funny, (think slow-mo but for audio) and I'd love to know how to combat the speeding up or slowing down of my voice, because I'm hearing it in the headphones... I mean, obviously I'm not talking about in a musical capacity specifically, since I don't use a musical program or anything, but still, if I was doing it on my own without anyone else to monitor my levels, then I'd want to know if it was possible, and how to manage it

*Edit*
To be clear I'm talking about a wired or wireless microphone/receiver hooked directly to the PC mic port

[frankbaron]

os some interface, i think some focusrite for example, you can change the routing of your headphones and where there are two sockets, you could route one set to your wet signal and another to your dry signal. then you get the best of both worrlds although you will need a second set of headphones. :)

[helamanavalos]

just saw the price for the RME Babyface Pro FS, I think Im gonna stick with my scarlett solo for a while :'D

[Henryarsenal]

Please make a video about recording through guitar processors via USB hooked directly to the computer. What would be the best practices? Is there any downside or advantage compared to recording through an interface?

Hi Kyle. I really enjoy your videos very much and I have learned a lot. I have noticed something you might want to consider looking into. When you make a cut and you usually go to a tighter shot or the opposite the black level of your shirt seams to change a lot. I don't know if you have two cameras or you just crop in but I think it is something to consider.

Thank you for the value that you give through your channel. I use it in my audio engineering for live events.
