How Important Is Workflow When Making Music 

These podcasts episodes lowkey provide so much for people who feel extremely alienated in this music shit like always by themselves and haven't found their tribe yet. That is so valuable so a genuine thank you for that

How is logic not in this conversation. Logic will do EVERYTHING for your track. produce, record, mix, master....

When levens said "I the only thing I crack is bottles" I legit made this face 🙄 ...😆😆😆

LJ be making more sense than he gets credit for

These NEED to be longer for the love of Behringer

I’m a Protools ride or die but I just wanna vouch for my man Court real quick! I was taught by an Ableton user through an online class how to mix and he would always do the trick of using the utility plug-in and turning it to mono when he’d do his bass or anything that needed to be mono-ed out! And just to be clear the man I learned from was a professional within the industry under Mixxin Academy so it wasn’t just some random class!🤪 Anyways, great episode and I literally only know what day of the week it is based on this podcasts release!😂 PROTOOLS FOR LIFE!✌️

imma say this about the shortcut vs backup convo, I kinda agree with LJ cuz at least if u lose a session, and your shortcut game is fire, you can recreate it faster than if you didn't have shortcuts

Workflow is everything to me. If I don't have a smooth way to just record what I have in my mind without alot of technical crazy stuff going on it really bothers me. I have converted my creation process to dawless. I do my finishing, mixing, and mastering with Ableton and bounce out for a master into LUNA. Less distractions, more focus on just making the music, super low latency, and it's super fast to just build out beats.

Work flow with a client recording vocal or mixing is Studio One( did Pro tools for years. Not unhappy but not satisfied) Making music (beats) is FL. If I'm being creative I make the beat in FL (incomplete), Record vocals in Studio One with a 2 track. Then once I want to make arrangements I open FL in Studio One (FL works like a plugin) and have both open. I have an old pc but I built it. It still runs like a champ. I7 6 core 32gb ram 12terabytes of Disk space I work in video and audio but more video work. I built this back in 2011.

“You suck…as a person” 😂😂

Wow I didn’t know this was a thing. I produce, record, mix and master my songs in Ableton and it’s been just fine.

The silence after LJ said “legally pirate” had me laughing for an obscene amount of time.

The first sentence in this episode is HILARIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BRUHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

The rosetta Eq🔥🔥🔥simple & straight to the point

Yea Logic Pro helps with my overall workflow. The normal thing to have done would be to bounce the trackouts out into Pro Tools. But I've found that I would unintentionally mix in Logic Pro and even master. My next phase is to start bouncing in place lol even that's something I gotta get used to because I love keeping midi information lol

Bruhhhh "you tryna call the song a thot?" Made me actually laugh out loud 😂😂😂

This man said with a straight face...."Do you know how to use your DAW??" 🤣🤣🤣 Devvon's laugh didn't help the situation either lol😂😂

THE INTRO IS LIT FOR REAL HAHAHA !!!

Yo this vid made me a bigger fan because it was your real selves! 🔥🔥video

If you record a mono signal in ableton the files will be mono. All tracks are stereo but if the track contains mono clips, it will just duplicate to the L/R channel and lower the volume to compensate. At the end of the day there is no difference than other daws.

I switched to producing, recording, and mastering in Studio One from my old workflow of using a combo of Mixcraft and Ableton. Studio One v6 won me over.

i'm with Courtney, my template is blank. only the instrument tracks no plugins or nothing

Only place where we go from music to farming 😂

If you have Mono Inputs you can record in Mono, Audio From > Channel 1 (f.e.). You just have to set-up your Audio Inputs accordingly in the Preferences. Ableton can record in Mono, no Doubt! And you can convert to Mono when rendering the Live Set. Only when recording the Output of the Vocal Track to a new Track, or if you freeze, flaten or resample (which actually takes the Stereo Output from that Track or the Master), you get a Stereo File no matter if there is any Stereo Information in it or not. But you can convert to Mono when Rendering using (CTRL+SHIFT+R on Win).

LJ was wildin’ in this one 😂😂😂

“Cus they don’t know better”lmao

Lol this was a wild episode but I get Levens analogy but still I would ask what’s the advantage of using a separate DAW to produce if that DAW doesn’t have a better workflow for you ?😂love the podcast

thinkin carpal tunnel is Benjamín button is so fuckin funny bro

I did something like that for obtaining a game I played when i was a kid, it's called Ancient Wars: Sparta. They did a remake of this game, I watched some videos and didn't like it at all; only way to get the old version is to pirate it, you can't buy the older version anywhere

If y'all don't grab a kensingtonworks trackball!! 8 year+ recording/mixing engineer. And that mouse has changed my entire workflow from the very beginning. You can program any Pro Tools or any other DAW shortcuts to 6 extra programmable buttons. Editing while tracking is officially second nature. Devvon you bugging! FullSail 4 Life g! Get It together lol

Lmao y’all are becoming one of of my fav podcasts

Nahhh. They dead got a point. Devvon, you could just go to the grocery store 😂😂

"Against janitors...school chefs", Oh my G lmao

This is hilarious. I produce maschine strictly, even though I have logic, protools , Cubase. My workflow is sick and I do my back ups. I love your contant

Benjamin Button LITERALLY KILLED ME. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

FL Studio nowadays is tuff when you know how to make templates. I have a r&b, a trap, hip hop. One for just adding drums to Loops. Not to mention I keep a minimum of 5 to 10 different ways for each task, Oh and don't forget to save preset chs. Im just sayin this my way of ready to cook up every time.

This was hilarious 😂 LJ tryna get y’all to re start the whole time

Listening to you guys just discover the "We are the world" session tells me, you guys haven't lived yet 🤣. Oh BTW, Devvon you are sleeping on Studio One. I feel that is the DAW you are looking for. I don't need templates at all with it. Everything is quick with it.

I love this man yall keep going its funny and yall have great topics 🕺🏾

Orchestral is a staple in Reggaeton. One of my all time favorite plug-ins. Full String Spiccato pa in perreo pesao’ un dembow EQ2 y no puede faltar el 3xosc and you got a solid start lol

LJ be talking facts though lol

You can record mono in Ableton . Just select 1 input instead of the stock 1-2

Thx for the game at 1:30 ily

Y’all funny asf in the beginning part 😂😂😂

Logic Pro X autosaves so I don’t need to remember to save. Us Logic users are so spoiled. But I still backup on two drives.☺️

Agree w/ Devon - How much time will you use recreating the whole media vs not having shortcuts?

perfect timing💯

man i can't lie you three are funny af on a set

I work in multiple DAWs....and I've made music/beats in Pro Tools with absolutely no issues. Of course it's not as streamlined as most of the others but it's actually descent after really learning how to do inside of Pro Tools. How about each of you make a complete beat in the other's preferred DAW as a challenge and let us see what you guys come up with? (That's if you haven't already done it)

this podcast was off the wall lolol

reaper is what i use to record as fast as i can .. then ill just transfer everything to pro tools.. i agree fast workflow is really important when you're recordin

Need more episodes like this!💙

I knew levens was wild but this episode my guy got exposed 😆😆😆 "Benjamin button disorder" from clicking a mouse 😆😆😆

2:35 The only thing I crack is bottles 😂

Confusing Carpal tunnel with Benjamin Buttons disease is krazy😹😹😹😹 #ProToolsGang

Guys make this longerrr

Amazing content 😂😂😂

I’m with Courtney. I go into straight up blank sessions

"I crack bottles" is WILD 🤦🏾‍♂

l jean the FL Flackooo lets get it FL GANG GANG GANG!!!!

"Can we delete this episode?" Im crying 🤣

BRO SAID BENJAMIN BUTTON LAMFOINSAFIJBASDGIOSGFB

devon you so mean in this one😢 on everybody’s head

If you want context on the Michal Jackson thing, look up "Michael Jackson Funny “We Are The World” Meme 🌎💀"

The Goats are back

LJ.... You're an Animal!! 😂

Devvon: You such a hater bro... LJ: Yes

kanye produced my beautiful dark twisted fantasy in logic

Now when I hit LJ on live and said “Yo y’all need to do an episode on workflow” he said.. nah we did it already. 😂.. 🤔 are you sure?

Devvon be hating hard af on FL 😂😂

Yooo when Devon was saying " whoo , whoo " needs to be a sound byte or an adlib in a song 😆😆

I don’t even use shortcuts fr. I’m keeping my backups.

Recording if FL Studio is better than Protools & yes I engineer people in protools

Devvon: “ I don’t have FL on my computer “ LJ: “Swear to God” Devvon: “Oh I do have it”

Luna autosaves and I can have bookmarks but I really never lose anything at all. I would keep my shortcuts. 😅

Benjamin Button was WILD 🤣

Get ahold of Tone Stith , he records and makes beats in Ableton . Ask him the questions please.

"delete this episode bro" dead 😂

I’m not gonna lie, that POTATO ANALOGY is valid! Only people making beats in pro tools are psycopaths or old af no cap

Pro Tools automatic backups as well.

2:26 Ive never bought a cracked plug in either.. But I've cracked a lot of bottles...

Studio One. Macros. Nuff said.

I don't understand how the name of the program can have the word PRO if I constantly encounter glitches and freezes. It's just horrible. I tried to become a user of this DAW (before that I worked with cubase, studio one, now with reaper) being influenced by the marketing vibe (industry standard, used by top engineers) but it's just ridiculous. I feel very sorry for these poor people who have been tied to this garbage for years and cannot leave it.

Funny ass episode

Recording and producing in pro tools is def serial killer vibes lmaooooo #FLGang

I used to produce in Ableton and then bring my tracks to protools but now I’m just all Ableton. Protools workflow is not my favorite

Omg LJ mentioning Edirol Orchestral proves to me he knows shit. Lol. It's an og goat fr. Edirol WAS actually purchased by a company and resold

LJ looks so unsatified😂😂

Help Me Devvon for the W

Bro said “ legally Pirate” 💀

Devvon is a pimp lol pro-tools is my profession

yo L Jean, just... al chita LOL

mpc!

Awe LJ is a fool bro!!! lol all his analogies doesn't makes any sense!!!! I can't talk though cause I make my beats in Maschine and record and mix in Logic. I'm with you though Devvon. Doing it all in 1 DAW is essential for proper workflow.

Da claw!

The analogy doesn’t work because he would still have to make the beat elsewhere or at the other store and have somebody else give him the beat vs making it from scratch on another DAW.

Whenever I see the Rokit 8's I know they not paying for any software 🤣

All I crack is bottle😎

Now we plugin shaming

Can yall talk about Splice removing the backup feature
