BenoniStudio makes content about, pro audio, pro video, mixing, editing, recording, tips/tricks, DAW's, plugins, reviews, demos, tutorials, and more.
I upload videos constantly, 4-15+ videos a month. I like to edit in a different way to present a fresh, unique, non-sterilized, modern take on the content I cover.
Specific things covered on this channel are, Pro Tools, Media Composer, Avid Eleven Rack, and all kinds of plugins. Not to mention, audio interfaces, editing tips, music production, video production, guitar, and anything else I think is interesting and enlightening. You come here to get the answers you need.
hey man ... i saw you have some grooves in BFD player ... Groove Monkey updated packs to include BFD player, but I can't see how to import ..little help? thanks!
My guess would be you have to place them in the Grooves folder. You choose the path for the content when you install. So go there, find the Grooves folder and try dropping in one of the bfd3.grv files
can i use an ssd to transferer my ableton work from windows pc and ableton to an ipad usb c 2020 model - are they class compliant - this problem is hard to find a solution for thanks
This is kinda sad to me, because it will eventually replace a lot of the work musicians do nowadays. It will be interesting to see how musicians "cope" with this, i guess a lot will have to reinvent themselves to distance themselves from "AI"
Is there really no way to change clip gain using *keyboard shortcuts WITHOUT using the mouse or trackpad* in S1? I really miss that you can just hit Control+Shift+Up/Down to do that in Pro Tools. The less mouse I use, the better.
yeah this video was def poorly prepared and this guy does not really understand the issue. Downloading or listening to music without paying is def not even close to building a clone machine to profit from... the results of training is intellectual property that the AI company will make money from. If they were building it for humanity i might think differently...
why? Are you in the music business? Do you know the history of it? Have you dealt with them? Have you communicated with labels? Have you been involved in the music software business for 15 years as I have? Do those things and you will better understand.
If someone is inspired by a song and then makes their own song using the same chords and structure, would you call that a "clone"? Because that's half of the popular songs. I don't think you can grasp what I am talking about here, and I don't think you understand the music business at all, nor do you understand AI training. But hey, you are entitled to your wrong opinion. Enjoy listing to music on your phone....something the RIAA didn't want to exist.
My h1 has problems with the sound especially when I use the usb connection. When I place it at 44khz, it makes my voice high pitch and 48khz would give it a very low sound. I want the sweet spot and I can't seem to find out how to do that.
Glad you love them, that is what we all wish for . The only thing about this is that you claim it to be the best ever. I and many others will disagree. Although it is the best for you, it seems a bit presumptive to believe everyone will agree with you. Not my thing at all.
For those having trouble installing, and thinking this is a demo - IT IS NOT. IT IS FREE! You just have to download the proper thing. Go to 18:31 for the Chapter titled HOW TO INSTALL 👍
Forget "sense of accomplishment". People are robbing themselves of an opportunity to really experience and love music with AI. As a musician I don't need suno, I can just make a song (that actually sounds good and makes sense but thats besides the point) on the spot, in real life without any computer, and have it be my own expression. It's beyond a crutch, its like being illiterate and relying on someone to read you bedtime stories well into adulthood. I'd go as far as saying its like having an AI play fun video games for you while you prompt it which levels to 100%. Making music is fun, learning to play piano is awesome. You're not a musician, you're not really experiencing music, and you aren't actually having fun with AI.
@@mikb5587 Whether people care or not where music comes from has nothing to do with anything I said, but your statement is not even true. People 100% care where music comes from, not only do people have favorite soundtracks, bands and musicians that greatly influence their listening decisions, people care about their favorite artist and will often stick to the music they know and already like even if they hear something foreign to it that "sounds good". If people didnt care where music came from they would never go to live performances and only have favorite songs in isolation.
you seem to be under the impression that everyone can learn every instrument and play them flawlessly. should the un-talented be barred from musical expression? should the person who can't sing be barred from creating a voice to express their emotion? I too can makeup a song on the spot and play it with guitar or bass or piano or drums, or basically anything....but who's going to hear it without recording it? You're just gonna play in the street? You're going to have a concert where you make up music on the spot...no ones buying that ticket unless you already have a well-established library and are famous. Do you cook every meal you eat from scratch? Do you hunt your meat? Raise chickens for the eggs? Milk the cows? Or do you go to the grocery store and buy pre-made food you can throw in the microwave, pre-packaged meat, canned vegetables, a gallon of milk? A lot of people think you miss out by not hunting your meat, or milking your own cows, or cooking your own food from scratch every meal. I could say you are not really experiencing food, and you don't have an appreciation for the animals and the land - but do you care? No. Same thing for AI music. AI simply allows people to get the sound in their head much faster and without talent or skill or time. The same way you can grab a burger at McDonalds without growing wheat, making buns, milking cows to create cheese, harvesting cows for meat, crushing tomatos for Ketchup, etc...
@@BenoniStudio Relying on AI is barring them from musical expression, they aren't expressing themselves, they are commissioning a corporate software to generate music that is technically some other musician's expression since it is built off the back of those musician's work. It can not even be described as "their voice" at that point. And besides some serious debilitating conditions I believe practically everyone CAN learn an instrument and/or sing to a great degree. Flawlessly? Who knows, but this AI is anything but flawless, and it's flaws are not human but rather algorithmic and lack any character or charm. As for recording, nearly everyone has a smartphone nowadays, recording is trivial. Also recording shouldn't be anyone's purpose for creating music, like you said in your video, most of human history people played and made music without recording. For the comment on who is going to listen and that nobody is going to go to a concert unless youre well established. Well yea duh, and I doubt anyone cares about some cheap AI generated sound that they can do for free just like you did and you have zero claim to since you didn't even make it. And I highly doubt anyone cares to go to a concert and watch someone prompt a website. No one is buying THAT ticket either. If your point of making music is some kind of recognition from others you've already failed with suno AI I also think your food analogy isn't quite adequate for this situation. As there's a difference between merely being a consumer and producer of a food. No one who buys food fools themselves into thinking they made it themselves. Its more like telling a chef your order and thinking you're the one cooking the food. The mentality is also completely different. People eat a meal to satisfy hunger, outside of survival situations chefs in culinary arts and hunters aren't necessarily doing that because they are hungry, but because its fun or enjoyable in its own right. Also I should even point out with your McD example, the less control over your food and the more automated, streamlined and cheap it gets the more unhealthy it tends to be and likely to conflict with your eating preferences and taste. I think any customer of fast food would greatly benefit just making a meal at home. Now if someone is simply using the AI because they just want to listen to someone else's music, fine, but that doesn't seem to be the primary motivator as there's already good and better music easily accessible and I've already seen plenty of people fooling themselves into thinking they and not the AI+other artist its built on made something which is also included in the marketing language of the sites themselves.
@@gensoustudio4703 So do you feel the same about MIDI and Virtual Instruments? Those are pieces created by other musicians that people use to create something new. And I guess you are completely against samples and loops too. So in your narrow view, only if you create the all the sound yourself, you are not "experiencing music" in that case, practically every song since 1984 isn't music and no one is a musician since then because they used MIDI, synths, samples, and loops. You'd also have to do away with the entire genre of Rap since it was built on samples and re-mixing. You'd also have to say that any musician doing a cover song isn't a musician - I think Johnny Cash would disagree. I don't think you've ever used AI generated music before, you seem to be under some impressions that are not true. AI does not copy songs. It learns relationships. The same way you learn the circle of fifths for example, or a minor scale. I also completely disagree when you say everyone can learn an instrument to a sufficient degree. That's like saying a 5'4" 500lbs guy with naturally low-T can be an NBA superstar if he just studies hard enough. No. There are biological and psychological realities within every individual. No amount of education or study will change that. The "it" factor is real. Either you have it or you don't. You can only get as good as your biology allows - in anything, not just music. Nature always wins. Always. You seem to be viewing things through your own psychology and you don't understand that other people view things differently and even experience music differently from you. 60% of musicians have already used AI in their productions according to a survey. And the next generation will view AI as normal. The same way we view recording music on a PC as normal. Back when Studio Tools came out (now called Pro Tools) people literally said the same exact things you are saying about AI. I have a feeling that you are insecure in your musical abilities and that is why AI is a threat to you. You also don't seem to understand music is consumed in different ways today. A lot of music is consumed in snippets on tiktok, not concerts and albums, but singles, and not even the full track! And AI is perfect for creating music faster in a world where everything has to be fast. No one is waiting 13 years for Chinese Democracy. I'm just looking at the reality of the way things work. There are no perfect solutions, just trade-offs. And knowing the history of the RIAA and the music business in general - I have to choose AI in that battle. At least more people will be able to express themselves in ways their biology prevents them from doing. Of course there are downsides to AI, i've discussed them back in 2023 - but in this specific battle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xYfjxR6e0mc.html
in what way? Because if you look at the site it says FREE 🤣🤣You probably downloaded the wrong thing. The video has chapters for a reason. Go to the Chapter that says HOW TO INSTALL. Next time before trying to "own" someone in RU-vid comments...do a little more research 🤡
StudioVerse Instruments is unREaL!! I won’t record another song without it! Almost fired a couple of my favorite DAWs because it wouldn’t work with V15 plugs. Fortunately got that sorted out. I had to get the V14 folders out so that V15 plugins would stop trying to use V14 shells to open the plugins. Reaper and LUNA were like, what’s this sht? Haha
Thx - a very thought-provoking video. Lots of philosophical cans opened. And the whole issue of AI, not only in music but in all aspects of society, probably needs to be discussed on various platforms like this one. Question: Is AI good, bad, or maybe neither? I 1st want to say this: I cannot think that the music industry will NOT utilize AI in there processes & "products" - I'm sure AI will save them millions and sheeple will still spent their money on any crap that is trending at that specific moment!!! As mentioned hereunder in another comment: I won't be surprised if the music industry already invested millions (maybe billions? ) into AI song generating models, but was not the 1st to launch their stuff. Lastly, just my thought of AI, specifically in the field of music & music generation: I don't consider myself a musician. I can't play a music instrument (unless you can consider figuring out a melody of a song for several hours using one finger to punch a key on a piano), I do not have sufficient or a lot of music theory. I don't have a great singing voice. In fact, I'm singing bass, and most of the time, I'm a little bit off-key. I do play a little bit with FL Studio as my DAW. So I've got a little bit of music production skills. But like I said, I don't see myself as a musician per se. But that being said, I do see myself as a creator. Over a period of time, I've written a lot of songs. But because of my, let's call it, musical inability, I never had the chance, or I never could translate the creative side or the writing side into a melody. Since the introduction of AI, I was able to translate my written songs into melodic songs. The alternative was to face my DAW & literally spend months to complete a song - just not worth it!! I tried that once on my iPhone (Garage Band), and it literally took me months. Okay, I didn't work on it every day whole day, but the matter of the fact is all the fact is that this is a very contra-productive way to finish a song. On the other hand, since working with Suno & Udio, I would say the last 2 months or so, I probably created close to 300 versions (not songs!!), of probably 15 songs - I'm just guessing, haven't counted it yet. Fact is: it works for me. What I appreciated from your video: from the beginning, music was meant to be shared freely and to be enjoyed by others. And that is what I want to pursue: make my music as accesable as possible for all to enjoy. By the way, I am creating Gospel music. But I don't think the genre matters - it is the intent and the purpose the music is created for that matters! Coming back to my question: Is AI good or bad? My answer: neither. That is determined by the person in whose hands the tool is used. I can use a spade to beautify my garden or to kill my neighbor's annoying dog - the intent is in my hands. Thx again for a very informative video - I really enjoyed it.
AI does make it easier for people to create the sound in their head without the need for learning about music production, just like automatic transmission made it easier for people to drive without manually switching gears. Only 18% of people can drive manual these days. The same will happen to music. No one who drives automatic thinks they are cheating, they just want to get to their destination. Same will happen in music. Is that good or bad? eh? I don't know yet. Is it good that I can record music and edit music on a computer without having to manually cut tape? I'd say 'yes' - but the people who use to run tape machines probably say 'no'
I won't be at all surprise that they are doing it....!! And by taking Suno & Udio to court, actually just trying to eliminate, or at least limiting, competition because they actually were too slow to enter the market 1st!!!!
This gives me vibes from that time Zappa, Snider and others went to defend Music . Those Epic speeches that left some politicians and society in their place
I'm also a metal guy, even though my background is classic music and training . And yes centuries ago if you wanted music you had to go to churches or special events. There won't be a new Bach, Beethoven, Mozart soon. Cause it's not just the industry, also the public the fans that are under educated and like/applauds trash xD
How does it work? Just loading VST into DAW and done? Not needing some up drummer interface as Superior drummer + loading the kit? So lets say, KVLT + REAPER and I am good to go? Thanks.
Just so everyone knows, M-Audio discontinued this without warning and replaced it with the "M-Track Air 192 | x" series. The difference? One works on OLD Windows 10 (before the latest W10 updates) and the new one works only on Windows 11.
PEEL Stems is now available at Plugin Boutique and Sweetwater 👍 www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/22-Sound-Editor/12589-PEEL-STEMS-/?a_aid=5dc896537a45c sweetwater.sjv.io/DK2L9o
Yes sir, thanks for the alert 👍 I will update the links for those who prefer to buy at PB and Sweetwater has it now too, so I'll include those links as well.
I made a macro for this due to the issue that S1 and BFD3 don’t talk to each other. I discovered that octave down gets my drum did files pretty close to how they should be.
Thanks bro! is definitely a good way and easy way, it worked for me! However when we talk about the latency it only let you go to 256 on the bus size, so it you play live you will have some latency on your sound. Im still looking for a solution. Thanks again!
can it work...with work arounds...maybe. But this interface is not made for iPad since it relies on the Mixer app which is Windows and Mac only. If you want an interface for iPad, you'll need to choose something that either comes with a dedicated iPad app, or has the ability to adjust all the parameters from the unit itself - like the EVO 4
Cold shoe when there is no electrical connection btw. Doesn't bother me but photographers are the most insufferable people on this planet and they'll get snippy about it lmao.
yes thats true. but most accessories you buy (at least 6 years ago when this video was made) where marketed as "Hotshoe" even when they were coldshoe. I thought that trying to use both terms would just confuse people, so I stuck with the more known "hotshoe" term
Not sure what you mean by "start again" If you want to go Hybrid just pay the $179 and either reinstall S1 and activate with the subscription license or deactivate your current install and re-activate with the sub license. (Studio One in the file bar - S1 Activation - choose Studio One+) I am assuming you own a full 6 pro license, so you will own that forever and it will be good all the way to 7. Unless you need the loops, cloud functions, plugins, etc... right now - I would wait until S1 7 comes out because the license you already have will take you to 6.9 (assuming they do a 6.9)
