@danamcc221 2 года назад

I agree! Info for beginners is rarely this methodical or informative. Manufacturers these days seem to assume a level of background knowledge that can only come from years of experience, or from intelligent tutorials like this one. More company's should be hiring you to do their "Getting Started" tutorials!

@SunCrushr 2 года назад

You're a good teacher. Doing an "advanced" version of this video would be a great idea! A couple ideas for things to add when you make your advanced video: 1. Ideas for patch management like sysex dumps, photos of knob settings, hardware integration plugins, etc. 2. What to do if you have duplicate notes going to the synth during recording (disable local control on the synth, or disabling midi monitoring) If I think of any more, I'll drop them here.

Seems like hugging a dog is an important part of making a track. It should be mentioned in the synth manual: "dog required for excellent results".

Just wanted to say that this is a prettry useful introduction, too, for someone coming at this from the opposite direction - years of working with hardware synths and multitracks (and a collection of over 70 various bits of synth hardware), and a relative newcomer to the world of the DAW.

@pocketrealitty 2 года назад

With hardware synths becoming increasingly popular, I think a video like this explaining the basics was a much needed thing. Awesome video!

First of all, I’ve learned so much about advancing my engineering and audio knowledge from you so THANK YOU for being upfront, concise, and simply a cool guy. Secondly, as a voice actor I can’t help but say (as I’m sure a million others have) that your voice is SO deep and resonant and perfect for these kind of explainer videos. Cheers!

@010203109 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. Especially the tips on recording and preparing tracks that will loop. I'm working up the nerve to spend a silly amount on a Hydrasynth Deluxe. It's rather big for a first synth, but I wanted something deep and powerful yet easy to navigate that doubles as a more expressive yet still very familiar midi controller. Something fun to just play around with on its own. I like the little touches like the front panel headphone ports too. And if you've seen their latest video even the single hydrasynth engine models can practically do a whole song with just one cleverly set up patch, so I can only imagine the patches possible with the Deluxe before even getting to doing anything to the audio output in a DAW.

@jamielong5877 2 года назад

Anyways happy to have your wisdom shared with us oh master of the Paul stretch 😄. I went from nothing to buying the asm hydrasynth keys, and still struggle with the whole concept of subtractive /additive synthesis and find it overwhelming trying to create 'good' sound simply because it can be so very complex.. Having stuff like this to watch at least gives the start of understanding to build on mate.. So you keep knocking these out, and I'll keep watching (I might even get to work out how the Paul stretch vst works properly.. Its a dark art!)

@danamcc221 2 года назад

Nice work, as always, Captain Cameron! A nerdy little point about balanced vs. unbalanced: a balanced connection (using TRS plugs) is only helpful if BOTH devices (the synth and the audio interface) have balanced connections. If only one of them is balanced, though, your connection will be unbalanced, even if you use a TRS cable. As you said it usually doesn't matter anyway, unless you're using really long cables, or you're in an environment where there's a lot of line hum.

@lemonbobo 9 месяцев назад

oh my god, I've been looking to purchase the Modal Cobalt 5s as my first hardware synth and this was so helpful. I'd hate to get the device without proper cords. thank you so much Cameron. I found you from the mindsets videos and can't believe how helpful your channel is.

@peterleeson1122 2 года назад

Great video. One thing I would add is that in HW instrument if you click on the propeller icon, once you have your hardware hooked up, it sends a ping to estimate the latency in the system. It then compensates for that delay when recording audio.

@bachcontra3606 2 года назад

Fantastic to see you do this kind of basic overview.

@glueckssilben 2 года назад

This video came at the right time. I have an Iridium keyboard. Actually, I postponed connecting my synth with the DAW. Instead, I concentrated on exploring sounds for the last weeks. Now, I'll use your video to start with more technical bits. First, I'll order some cables and an audio interface supporting Stereo (I'll choose the Motu M4). Yes, and I'll really need an expression pedal.

Excellent and informative vid! Maybe you can offer some guidance as I am exactly in the situation of wanting to get in to synths. In short, I'm an electric guitar blues player who is interested in learning some keys/organ sounds. The Modal 5s seems to have a lot of sounds for Floyd, Atlanta RS, Gary R, R&B and so on. I don't want to get bogged down in menus, the Modal stuff sounds very musical. I'm on the fence with the 8 opposed to the 5s regarding the learning cure and tactile use. Any words of direction would be appreciated as they sound great and I got a lot out of your presentation here, thanks.

Its can be fun to just record the audio and make samples to use in the box. It makes latency less of an issue and also introduces the concept of committing and moving forward. It also serves as a limitation which can actually push us into a different mind space for creativity. It's also great if you like working with samplers in the box. Cheers

This is a super timely (and well-made!) video. I've just set up a little hardware corner and have all the audio patched via a patchbay, which I'm super happy with. No MIDI yet, though...that's the next step. Question about FX: you mention that the recording went through the MS70...but how did you capture that in the MIDI track? Or did you use it as an external send in bitwig?

@JakeSweeper 2 года назад

@Screaming-Trees 2 года назад

Also worth mentioning is there are two line level standards: +4dBu? -10dBV. You need to find out what your "interface" expects. Probably the former. Lots of synths output the latter however. Sequential is one example of -10dBV. Moog on the other hand has both (Sub37 is +4dBu while Grandmother is -10). Kind of a pain actually all the line level matching you have to do. I have a bunch of synths going into a Harrison 950mx console at +4 and a bunch of other synths that go into a line level normalization bit of outboard (-10dBV in and +4dBu out). Very important to understand what your interface expects and what your devices output if you want to avoid signal output issues. Good luck.

@musiccirclegreece 2 года назад

Thanks for the no-geek-speak policy. I find your video extremely useful and very detailed even for absolute beginners. Do you have any synths in a module? I have a vintage korg synth in a module and would like to connect it to my midi controller keyboard and then the daw. I think this might be a cheaper option for many beginners since I checked out your cobalt and it sells for £400 ... That's a lot of money for beginners.... Anyway, really appreciate what you are doing and mainly the non assuming prior knowledge and stating there aren't any stupid questions. I did a 2year long music tech course 20years ago and the teachers used jargon all the time which kind of defeated the purpose of teaching in a school.... I think music tec people often forget how it is for absolute beginners after a few years of engaging with gear..

@geoffk777 2 года назад

Most vintage (i.e. 80's, 90's or 2000's) modules have 5-pin DIN MIDI In, Out and Thru ports, but do not have USB. To connect them to your MIDI controller it's just MIDI Out from the controller to MIDI In on the module. The complication is if you also want to connect your computer to it. You can use the MIDI Thru port on the module to pass your controller MIDI signal through the module, on to the the computer to record. So MIDI Thru on the Module to MIDI In on the Computer. To play back from the computer, you may need to temporarily switch the cable from MIDI Out on the Controller to MIDI Out on the PC, so that it's sending the playback to the module. If you need to send from both, you can get MIDI multiple boxes which will take the Out signal from both the PC and Controller and combine them into a single cable for the Module's MIDI In port. If your module DOES have USB, than it's all much simpler. Just connect everything with USB cables and it all should work. You can also get a list of MIDI CC commands for your module and map those to knobs and sliders on your controller. Some controllers, like the pitch and mod wheels and volume, will probably work right away.

Hi Cameron! Would you make a video please about how to connect a Hardware Synth via USB to Bitwig Studio please, because when I found this video thinking it might help in my particular situation, it didn't because I Don't have MIDI Cables (I don't plan on purchasing any unless I relly might need to). I have tried but failed thus far in getting Bitwig to see Audio coming from my COBALT5S from Modal Electronics (featured in this video), I went through the steps to adding this synth over USB and while Bitwig can see my particular synth over USB, I don't get any sound despite the Audio Outputs being connected to the Instrument Inputs of my Arturia Minifuse 2, and turning the Direct Monitoring knob to the Right where normally I WOULD hear sound no problem in an External Instrument Track set up in my other DAW Logic Pro. I do appreciate all your efforts and in no way am I criticizing this particular video as it might be of help to some people, it just wasn't for me.

@cagrimutaf Месяц назад

Yeah, it's weird, I've also felt like, when I bought my synth, that I was expected to already know how to play it (Idk why, it doesn't make sense, just a feeling). Acoustic instruments didn't make me feel like that. All in all, you *learn* to play *after* you put your hands on an instrument first.

I want to create but Im terrible at getting my stuff out there and don’t feel its all that.. lacking self-confidence Long ago I taught MIDI to someone that became a MIDI God to artists like Paula Abdul boy did I miss the boat. sorry thanks ☺️

@CryptoDefender 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this video. Really useful. What would be the right way to connect multiple desktop synths to your audio interface and midi controller and be able to switch between them like at the flip of a switch?

@jjrusy7438 2 года назад

a mixer has individual volumes and mute buttons that can feed your synths' audio into the interface. the MIDI control could be sent to multiple synths from the same controller using a MIDI splitter. a more advanced control method would be to get a workstation or controller capable of keyboard splits and multiple channels and play different things on different synth modules. I do both methods. you can also just send MIDI clock to synchronize timing but not the notes on all the modules that maybe are playing sequences or have their own keyboard.

@SongOfItself 2 года назад

Tangentially related: aside from my MIDI keyuboard,m the only piece of audio hardware I have is Komplete Audio 2 from Native Instruments. It was a huge disappointment - when connecting an electric guitar, either there is no sound coming out of it at all, or the sound is too weak to be usable. No sound in heaphones, no sound thru the amplifier. I was thinking maybe it was underpowered via the USB (it has no other power source), but now I'm thinking - could it be the balanced/unbalanced connection thing? ANd if so, would that mean I need to get special a pair of headphones with the right plug just for the audio interface? (That seems absurd, but then until a moment ago I never knew about these 2 types of connection.) Otherwise the unit does work, I can record sound from it in my DAW, but with the audio out problem, I cannot monitor what I'm playing, so the whole thing is rather useless (and completely put me off any NI hardware).

@avsystem3142 2 года назад

Headphones never use balanced audio connections. However, TRS plugs/jacks are used both for balanced mono line level signals and for unbalanced stereo signals. If you are connecting headphones to a stereo headphone output there is only one type of connection (but could be either 3.5mm or 1/4" in size). Are you sure you are setting the front panel switch to "INST" when connecting a guitar? LINE and INST use two different impedances and mixing them up will result in really poor audio quality.

@GuidoGautsch 2 года назад

I think you generally need a DI (direct inject) input for guitars to bring the volume up to line level. My Audient iD14 has a DI input with a guitar icon next to it, not sure if the NI interface has one.

@avsystem3142 2 года назад

@@GuidoGautsch This is correct if using a line level input. The NI Audio 2 has a switch to select either either LINE or INST, the latter of which is equivalent to a DI box, which is an impedance matching transformer, so such a device is not required.

@michaelleue7594 2 года назад

If this is a place where there are no stupid questions, then I have one I really want to know the answer to. What is a synth? Like what makes a piece of software or equipment a synth as opposed to, say, a plugin, or a soundfont, or a DAW, or a MIDI, or an instrument? I hear all of these words being used in ways that sounds like sometimes they might by synonymous, but not always? And the answer to that question seems to be below the level where anybody thinks the answer isn't so obvious that people don't already know (which I assume is true, for everyone but me).

@Jimmyknapp2 11 месяцев назад

I think church organs count as mechanical synthesizers, if that helps. Some plug ins are effects, others create math formulas, so its another broad category. DAW is a digital studio Midi is a langauge everything in the studio speaks except for people.
