Bud's got a goat going off in the background.

You’re videos are awesome, I really wanna be a FOH engineer when I’m older and you help to keep me inspired🔥🔥🔥

Hi. Please, how do I subscribe to your channel

Thanks for explaining

Great vid man!

You need the 🧑🏾‍🎨; because you don’t have anyone or anything that’s inspiring!😮🤔🤬

Ha ha! Audio Engineer now?! Sound Technition back in my day. Lol

I was a sound Technition back in the 80's for prominent bands. Took on other jobs and now want to learn knew equipment as I'm about to retire and do sound reproduction for local bands.

Whats the difference between audio engeering and producing?

I am a beginner i know nothing about audio engineering. One of my friend suggested me to learn about it and it sounds interesting and now i am here.
I just want to know what EQ is ?

First statement always been true

This made me want to become an Audio Engineer

One thing about audio engineers they make the magic happen to make production sound good. Now when it comes to the vocals they have the super touch

Nice

~🦾💯

I wanna do this for my church

The audio engineer is the most important person for the digital aspect, but the producer and the artist literally made the song, the engineer captures the sound and manipulates it but they don’t create it

For someone fresh into learning audio engineering what should I go about doing and learning?

I started recording music and when it came to finally singing into my songs I was like holy shit I don’t hear myself at all, and that’s when I discovered I need to learn sound engineering thanks for this video much love❤

Greetings from Germany

Hey man, this video was really welcoming and helpful. Ever since we got all that sudden free time when the pandemic hit, I've been learning to play the bass, guitar, and a little MIDI keyboard along with a Focusrite into Logic (very much pieced together, as you said!), so I can eventually cover Rush songs that I love and make little fanmade music videos. I don't have much experience with an actual physical mixing board aside from making on-air radio production in tech school, but I learned some about how to use Logic's amp designers and plugins over the past year, and now I spend ages trying to craft EQs and instrument tones to sound just right. Give me enough time and I can make my jazz bass sound almost like Geddy Lee's Wal! Would love to try a career or internship producing stuff someday.

I have played guitar for a long time and would love to record myself semi professionally I guess you could say. I have my guitars, a laptop , and very little cash flow. I am really want this for myself. Where do I start!

Hey thanks for this video. I’m not technically “talented” but I adore music. Music was my first love of art. I recently heard an artist say there’s a lack of black women in the engineering side of the industry so this helps in my career research! Thanks brother 💜💜💜💜

Excellent sir....

Thanks, man. Great video for a newbee like me!

I have been unemployed for a long time cos of a back injury. In the years I've been unemployed I found a passion for music and have since been making it, I don't know what I wanna doin life cos I can't do manual labor anymore, was thinking of a diploma in sound engineering.

I agree with you. Without sound, even Star Wars is boring.

12 Year Audiovisual Engineer here. Subbing because wow this is dope. I'm so glad resources like this are around now. There was NOTHING like this around when I started.

Too much talk for the title.

Compression, EQ's and Limiters definitely seem to be the most commonly used plugins that I feel like I need to use sometimes(not just want to).

I also sometimes enjoy using a tube amp emulator. Also the order and routing of any plugins, fx or processing gear is often consequential. I rarely put a reverb before a compressor for example, unless I am trying to make some kind of odd sound that compresses reverb.

I love how you started with the positive affirmation of banking on yourself. Im 27 years old and find myself feeling sad that I didn't think of learning this when I was younger when I could focus on it more and ashamed because I feel too old to try and start but I want to make music, if only for myself. It's a deep passion of mine I didnt realize until maybe 1-2 years ago and I look forward to learning from you! great intro video btw.

Good shit bro 🤙🏼

Good video though.

We aren't talking about musical geniuses like sting or Prince these days.

Well yeah the engineer is more important than the "artist" nowadays because artists ha,ha, have zero talent 2023!

Yeah I wanna be the person that gets sent the music sounds awesome to make the music sound better

My Midas m32 won’t accept the usb drive, can you help?! The access light isn’t showing up even though I have tried formatting it as fat32 and exfat

I just found this. I subscribed. Really interested in this. I’m also blind, so might have to come to the expert and ask questions. Thanks for the videos.

hello, I'm a beginner can't mix or master but good in letting the poetry flow what do you suggest I do coz I know a few artists in my city but they all be tryin to steal my shit

The engineer is an artist all there own

Engineer is not more important than producer and artist 😂

Thank you!
