Please let me clear up a few latency issues I was talking about.
Of course I know it's possible to get a unnoticeable low latency, I myself do not have latency issues with the RME soundcard. But from experience, seeing a lot of other systems, loads of comments, I just know for a fact that there still are a lot of people that have to deal with problems. Maybe I was a bit on the low side with 4-8 ms, I said those numbers from memory. Let's make it 8-16 ms then :) That's all for now! Cheers!

What goldmine for newbies. It took me months to learn all of this bit by bit and you covered it all in a few minutes. Your video chops are on a par with your guitar skills, which are top notch, and you are an engaging teacher. You take the time and put the effort into the details, which is noticed and appreciated.

The editing on your videos is insanely well done, even those little sound effect additions, great job and thanks for the content <3

Turning complexity into simple clarity is an art form. Add humor to the mix and you create enjoyable entertaining knowledge. Thanks' you do it so well and it is appreciated.

Thank you obi wan kenobi you’re my only hope

my kids will never understand that you once had to pay for content of this high quality.

[skyjockbill]

You are amazing at taking pretty dull, technical, and difficult topics (for non-recording geeks), and making them intelligible and even fun!

For anyone starting out on a budget, I highly recommend the Fender Mustang V2 for a plug and play audio interface with basic amp modelling which take the horrid 'direct line in' sound you get. You can also escape the latency issue because you can hear your recording through your amp - rather than your monitor speakers - which is a great option if you like creating and jamming over backing tracks.

I'm a singer/songwriter and play acoustic so for me a Scarlett 2i2, Oktava 319, Reaper DAW = Done. Thanks for the vid Paul, can you do a basic one on mixing? I'll admit that the who EQ/COMP thing is kicking my butt. You always get such good sound for your videos, it's the thing about them that first caught my attention.

[BeyondTheGuitar]

Haha love the bloopers at the end. Be honest, how many times did you have to jump for that jump edit?

[IshanAditya]

I'm pissed you didn't mention Reaper. Guys, it cost 60 euros, it can be used free of you don't mind an occasional pop-up, and it's THE most customizable one on the market.

[gusblacksmith]

You are a bastion of hope and inspiration in a sea of "ME TOO CLICKBAITY TITLES BUT SHALOW CONTENT" that's been plaguing Youtube. Keep it classy, Mr. Davids. Thank you for existing.

[albikapidani]

I don't know why your videos have the most relaxing audio i have ever heard in a video, it sounds so quiet and smooth for the ear. Whatever the case, great job and thanks for the video, it's quite helpful

[notebender]

Recording yourself is a great way to have a record of your own progress too...being able to keep the focus on how far you've come helps to alleviate the 'I'll never be good enough' crap that we all deal with from time to time... Always enjoy your vids Paul...

[tedcruzkidneyhunter]

This is actually one of the most straight to the point and clearest explanation of guitar recording i’ve ever watched

[luisrocha]

I lay down, eyes closed, and listen to Paul's voice when I'm anxious

[Lamefoureyes]

Your scene transitions had me smiling the whole time, great video!
