Hi, I’m Rob from Mutz Music. I'm basically an amateur having fun playing and singing old classic rock songs. I usually post a couple of songs a month and recently started posting 5 song mini sets that I call "5 Song Friday" in which I try to do 5 songs in a row to see if I can get thru a 5 song set without making too many mistakes. I am definitely not a professional..Lol. I typically load these 5 song mini sets on either the 1st or last Friday of the month and will sometimes load one up in the middle of the month.
I'm also into the hobby of Home Recording and like to experiment with different recording techniques. I will occasionally talk about the equipment I own and any challenges I might be having using it.
Feel free to post comments on how I can improve. Also, let me know if you have a similar music channel that I can check out.
*How to Install macOS Sonoma on Unsupported Macs* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D8djeFJ1czU.html&pp=ygUfbWFjb3Mgc29ub21hIG9uIHVuc3VwcG9ydGVkIG1hYw%3D%3D
This isn't just how Apple works - it's how computers work. You build a faster CPU, software engineers take advantage of the new power and do new things like AI. I updated to M1 because my 2018 MacBook Pro couldn't run the Mercury 6 synth plugin by Cherry Audio. Companies aren't going to stop innovating because of compatibility with old hardware.
That’s Apple SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). The objective is to continuously force you into new hardware. You should resist this as long as you can. One way would be to migrate to another DAW and leave Logic Pro behind. It’s only going to get worse. I would love to leave Apple and Microsoft behind but how I work won’t allow me to at this time. DAW and VST Linux support isn’t there yet.
Nothing is forever. Right now the line has been Intel vs M chips. I’m sure next will be versions of Apple Silicon beginning to not get updates. Honestly the mastering plugin is nothing to write home about. I have an Intel 13” MBP so I can speak to seeing the writing on the wall. My wife has a M2 Air and let me tell you, the hype about Apple silicon is real. The battery life and speed at which that thing runs is amazing. The M4 might be my time to make the jump and trust me I’m not thrilled about spending the money but the fact I have an entire studio in a 3.5 lb laptop is worth the price of admission.
Thanks for the video. You have cleared up some things for me. I am using a MacBook pro with Intel and am considering getting a second hand Mac mini M1. It does not seem urgent from this. The choices are still endless….
I'm like stealing 3 of your cover songs. You rock on all the stuff you do... I really enjoy watching your stuff. I have been playing live gigs for over a year now, I had my weekly Cafe gig and played at bars. But I'm changing how I'm recording my song now, and making the songs to have better sound quality. I was never for the camera 📸 so I shy away from being up close like that. Even though I've played in front of 1000s of people. My Krytonite. Thanks for stalking me. Oh I was going to mention some kiss song would go with your voice, everything Peter Chris sung, you sound exactly like him. LOL.
Thanks, I was a big time Kiss fan in my early teen years, but never thought of myself as sounding like Peter Chris. I'll have to go back and relearn some Kiss songs and try out some acoustic covers.
I got the Lion and I've had nothing but connection issues since I got it 2 weeks ago , I've not had it run consistently for more then 15 min . It's a HUNK of junk !
Bugs, utube as bed bugs...lol. And these days people want to listen to fluff, people that fake their talent, and couldn't play live like you do. People sux, i had 125k views on a video of my video that was fake of what the picture showed. Another 65k of two girls fighting saying cat fight, which was a video of my cats play fighting,lol. People are lame, I deleted alot of my videos. Because i know I have talent. I can play. I play gigs, and people all the time tell me i sounded good. But i have been told that since I was 16-17, so i take things tough and cheek. If people like it cool, thats what its about. Nothing great.
Hard to compete against cat fight videos...Lol. It's all fun through. I just like playing and experimenting around a lot with different songs on how I play and sing them or record them. I've watched some of your videos, and you definitely have the talent on your end. Playing live is actually the best experience for anyone that want to improve. I probably should do it more myself.
I dont really understand the complains. I have zero knowledge about sound/music apps, and i'm sure this is also a part of the usual Apple-tricks, BUT: you have a 6 years old machine, and everything is developing very quickly, so they need to cut the line somewhere sometimes. Your machine is capable (i have a 2018 macbookpro too), but it is very far from the actual M-series. If compatibility is key too long time, the development is suffering. Its the same as in console-industry. The new games come only to PS5/Xbox Series machines... sad, but this is the future/present.
There's alot of Rush you should be able to play on acoustic. Everything follows the melody mostly. I play Tom Sawyer. And how did she make that shirt 👚 did she ever tell you? Because I hand paint shirts, but I need a faster way to make me some shirts.
Nope - you're lucky to get 8 years out of Apple now and it has got shorter and shorter. Make the software cheap and the hardware expensive and slowly move the goal posts so you have you upgrade your hardware. 2 years from now M1 owners will also be moaning as they begin to get locked out of features because they don't have enough 'neural cores' to run the AI or AGI bit of the new upgrade. Logic is a great DAW and yours for a one off payment but you'll have to keep buying the latest chip to keep up. We're at M4 already! It's the Apple business model and it's deliberate and well planned.Why care about screwing over your customers if enough of them keep buying into it..? and the share price keeps going up.
Isn't that just typical Apple? In 2006 they would sell you a PowerMac G5 for $3300 ($5100 in today's money) that wouldn't be able to run Snow Leopard when it released in 2009.
I have a M1 only because my 2012 MacBook Pro would not have a system installed on it no matter what I did.. & I have physical disks of every Mac OS X version.. so I needed to get up an running asap so I got the base M1 Mac mini! The fun thing is.. I will probably never use the Ai features as the kinds of music I make have no use for them.. the I have thought about the drummers fills as I always struggle with making fill patterns. so yeah.
Exactly the attitude they need to carry on doing the same thing. Change comes from action, complaint, and collectively we as the customer have far more power than we realise. as I said above enought buy into it no change.... enough stand up as say wait a minute... then you might get a change.
A workaround is to right click on the tracks in the mixer you want to rearrange, click "create track". Those mixer tracks will now show up in your arrangement window. Rearrange them in arrangement view as to the order you want to see them in your mixer. Not perfect but it works!
2020 intel Mac user here 🙋🏽♂️. Looks like im stuck with using 3rd party apps to keep my workflow “STEADY” not faster lol. My biggest workflow improvements i need are stem splitting and browsing drums while music plays. No updates for browsing samples even with the all powerful M1/Silicon smh but YAY for stem splitting but NOPE NOT FOR INTEL USERS!! 🤬
I have a M1 chip a Mac 12 don’t worry about it. You’re not really left out. They’re still a lot of great things on logic Pro and there’s a lot of third-party plug-ins that could do the same.😊
@@mutzmusic5737 As M-chip owner, I second Justin thoughts. No need for you to upgrade your machinery, if it runs well (I am sure it does, as I did have 2018 like yours previously (no I didn't get rid of it, I just left my previous job, so I had to give back that computer, because it was not mine). It's ridiculous and almost outrages how corporate, like Apple forces you to spend thousands of dollars every years as we are sort of millionaires. You are not missing out that much. Stem Splitter is really mediocre, only usable for education purpose, as it doesn't sound that great. Splitting track are full of artefacts, bleed ins, so not really usable for professional work, only as I said for education purpose - to check how musicians play each part. Chroma Glow is... Ok, I mean it does the job, but you can easily get any free saturation plugin to do same job and use less CPU (yes, Chroma Glow uses quite a lot of CPU). Only fascinating feature I find in Logic 11 is Session Players which you can use as well on Intel Mac, so hooray! So yeah... To summarise, you basically don't miss anything. Stay strong!
You need to get Studio one... i went from Pro-tools which was a CPU hater and found me a copy of Studio One. Which they did give a free copy, with their own plug-ins. But i wanted to add my own plug-ins. But this last week I've been using it. Note I have an old windows 7 laptop and a Windows 7 PC, and the software is amazing. Its just Pro tools but better. A whole lot better... and oh I use to be the alien 👾 I changed my channels name. Alf was shipped back to Melmac. And Apple anything is garage. Their over priced phones, computers and anything apple these days is not worth it. But i know and understand people like certain brands. I love Samsung. Which oddly my latop is and my phone. They are a good brand. It sux you can edit like you wish. I would look into Studio One, im sure they give free versions out. I was using Kristal audio engine, they are PreSonus and when they came out with studio one version 2 they gave out for free. You couldn't install your own plug-ins. Which im not even using my own plug-ins at the moment and their stuff is amazing. PreSonus Studio One stay away from Pro tools.
LOL!!! I'm like that when im playing Johnny B Good, on acoustic. Come one I come from Thrash metal, but I can't solo worth a flip on the acoustic. I should learn that song!!!
@@mutzmusic5737you have more subs I don't know why you get such low views, I can post a song, and people seem to listen, even if the sound isn't great, but nothing I can do when I play live and only recording with audio from phone, or camcorder 📹. Even in my guitar studio/ drum place. I don't get it?
I no longer have the OX Stomp and never had a chance to do a side by side comparison, but I would say they are both very good. The speaker cabs in the OX are just as good as any top IR speaker cab you might load into the CABM. It's more matter of which features you may want and ease of use.That goes for the APP too. I did like the effects (Reverb, delay) better on the OX. I also found it easier to make changes directly on the OX pedal itself vs diving into the tiny menu on the CABM pedal. Of course if you use the APP to make changes, they're both about the same. The OX is also stereo and my version of the CABM is mono. You also have to consider price, since the OX is twice as much. If you have the money, it's nice to own both. If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with the CABM. Two Notes also has a new pedal called OPUS, which includes preamp modeling, which is another option to consider.
It seems everything works so much better with the latest firmware. I have zero issues now, well almost. Connects most times straight away and seems to stay connected, even after turning phone off.
That's good. Hopefully, they resolved some of the connection issues. Again, not everyone had this issue, but I certainly did. I returned my OX Stomp, but at some point I'll consider getting another one.
