THE WEEKND - STARBOY, COVER BY CHRIS DENNIS ROSENBERG
Look what you done I am tryna put you in the worst mood ah
P1 cleaner than your church shoes ah
Ah Hey there guys, My name is CHRIS DENNIS ROSENBERG
and welcome to my channel umh today's video is going to be you know
quite different from what I do normally which is cover songs and you know stuff like that
umh today's video is going to be you know a little bit of ah a buying guide and a guide
and umh a tutorial a kind of like tour of my (awkward laugh) studio but umh
I don't really have a dedicated room so I I wouldn't pro... (STARTS MUMBLING and laughs
awkwardly) I have like a mobile studio so I am just going
to show you the equipment and umh what I use and tell you why I got it and umh how much
it was Amazon, you know that's where I got it from
so yeah umh I use the PreSonus iTwo Studio Bundle PreSonus
Audiobox iTwo Studio Bundle It's from PreSonus umh ah it was from like
ah we a friend of mine got it for me from Amazon
umh it was €189,00 (ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE EUROS) if I remember correctly and umh
the reason why I got it actually ah why I made this choice is because I kind of like
I was kind of like really new to this world umh not too new but like in terms of wanting
to be st.. to to feel safe about what I gh... I got and what I was using there were so many
other and usually expensive means good but you can never really be too sure so you don't
want to spend that much money on something will disappoint you in the end
(Breathes in) so I went out I went for PreSonus because it�s what I knew, before I went
out on my own I umh I used to record with a friend of mine and he had ah a PreSonus
you know pack just like this one but it was I think the previous version
so I felt like it was really good he you know had like positive things to say about it and
when I was using it to record it was you know really good and umh (Clears throat)
I I decided to umh you know get this, it was affordable in my opinion
So... that's a picture of my entire setup. The laptop I use is the Asus X556U and I am
calling it "Aaasus" because I found out I used... I I found out that umh the company
actually put out I don't know kind of like a message or whatever so it's on Google
and umh Wikipedia and blah blah blah and it's supposed to be pronounced "Aaasus" so for
those of you who call it "Eeesas" or "Eeesus" I am sorry, to each their own but I decided
to follow what the company you know decided to call it you know so it's easier that
way anyway
so that the the the setup is you know you get a ah Headphones with a Pouch, Microphone
with a Pouch, the Audio... actual Audiobox, the Manual and the Cables - the USB Cable
and the XLR Cable so lets get into it.
So first we're going to talk about the Audiobox iTwo itself and umh it's a it's a really
tiny little box and it's really great for travel...
I, this is not a paid promotion becau... it I wish it was but I like for those of you
who actually really want to use it's for like you know the mobile part of it, it's
great I use it because it's you know umh affordable
and I don't really have the space so I I I went for you know a smaller footprint so...
But for those of you who travel and all that you're going to really love this,
It connects to iPad and I guess other tablets but it's great for travel, it's great
for people with you know ve...ver... limited room so I love it and I haven't it's not
too hard to get I mean the the knobs and the buttons so easy to catch on
and umh I am going to be showing you how to connect it to the laptop, to YOUR laptop,
using my laptop (Awkward laugh) so anyway umh...
The umh this box it comes with umh a USB type, USB 2.0 I I don't know if I should say type
2 but USB 2.0 and the other end I think it is USB B, the the end that connects into the
Audiobox so... it comes with a USB so you got that handled
and it has 2 (two), 2 (two) umh Inputs I should say umh I think, I don't know if they are
line, I hope they are because I'll really sound dumb
I told you I don't really know so much about the technical bit but...
I know how to work it I don't what they are called to be honest but anyway it comes with
two inputs for a umh for the microphone and for a guitar
They can be used you know two guitars or two microphones or you know whatever so...
Then it has the umh the the power button for the fff... 48V (Forty Eight Volts) for the
Phantom Power for the Microphone then it has the umh the instrument you know there's a
tiny guitar with you know two buttons and all that
Then the knobs are for mixing and for volume for the instrument and umh there's a big knob
for I I guess general output I am sorry I am not so sure but I think I've used it I've
just forgotten right now and umh then there's the headphone jack and the headphone knob.
So now I am going to show you how to connect it with the tiny USB right there umh forgive
you know it's shaky and it's not I don't really have a head cam I was using my phone
one hand for the phone one hand for you know unwrapping it all and stuff like that.
So that end goes into your laptop and that's the 2.0 so that you you put that into your
laptop umh and then connect the other end into the Audiobox that's the USB B part
of it I think Oh and the the two, you see the two circular
kind of like inputs they're for MIDI connection so MIDI Input and Output that's really cool
like for something this small it's and they went out for like umh the old kind of thing
not USB like USB input so you can have the MIDI in and MIDI out but most MIDI Keyboards
right now have like USB cables so you might have to get the connection for that so that�s
you know that's how it looks like.
And once you've powered it up by connecting to the laptop actually the only power it needs
is your laptop's power there's no extra connection, it works perfectly.
Ah one more thing I forgot to mention is that umh there's like when I said "you see the
two circular kind of like inputs", there's actually two sets; one the extremely big one,
the wider ones are for the MIDI and there there tinier ones which are for for the Mains
like ah if you have Monitors and stuff like that so you connect them in and ah you know
you can get more output and stuff like that. That is really cool I mean this thing is really
small you actually need to see it to believe it there's tons of inputs and outputs and
that's fascinating to me so if you really need something with a small footprint but
it can, you know it gives you a bang for your buck this is it, I truly believe this is it
so yeah.
Now moving onto the XLR cable which is ah the standard for Microphones so some microphones
now have USB but the USB aspect won't work with this Audiobox so it's it has to be
an XLR cable. So that goes into the front in one of the
two a like ah inputs I told you about one for a Microphone and one for Instrument.
It has a tiny you know kind of like button you have to press that and it de- detaches
yes detaches so that will help you with the Microphone it will stick it into the Microphone
and it will stick there it won't come out. Those are the two inputs I was talking about,
yeah they are line input yeah I was right I think so I yeah I was right, now I am sure,
I was right (Awkward laugh). So that that end is for the microphone and
then the other input is for a Guitar. You can use, you can either use both of them
for Guitar or Microphones whatever works.
Now we are going for the microphone, that the Microphone comes in a pouch. Faux leather
I think, don't get you know nuts, it's it's not real leather (Awkward laugh) sorry but
umh yeah it looks really cool and it helps you know keep it safe from dust and stuff
like that so... You get that microphone so it comes with that
that thing for clipping onto the microphone stand, I don't know what it's called you
know don't sue me but I know how to use it so I think that that counts for something.
That's the tiny button I was talking about, the metallic one so you place it in there
you make sure they are perfectly aligned, so you press that and it will clip the...
when you're packing it up it will clip the cable together just like you saw it in the
beginning and when you're putting into the microphone, you press it you hold onto it
and umh it will stick in and then it will keep the microphone from falling or keep the
cable from falling out of the microphone which is great and I it's a condenser microphone,
it's a I think it's a cardioid microphone so what that basically means is it will take
input from one, it will form a kind of like thing, a virtual kind of like circle and it
will take input from that the the front so make sure to use it from the front where you
know all the the the branding and all that is is is...
and you know that that's it and once you connect it you press the Phantom Power button
to make sure that it will work when you are you know recording.
And now we're moving onto the Headphones with their pouch now umh well this is not faux
leather clearly but umh well the the great thing is that I actually really love the Headphones
they're not because it's a bundle you kind of expect some of the parts to you know give
you away, I would, the truth is, the absolute truth is if I could right now I would replace
the Microphone because definitely there are better Microphones out there I won't lie but
this microphone is really great and it's it does the trick especially if you have an
acoustic... you know an acoustically treated room. However moving onto the Headphones sorry
I you know I veered off but the Headphones the reason why I remembered the Microphone
is because I keep my Pop Filter in the Headphones' pouch so the the umh the Pop Filter actually
did not come with this bundle, this was from a previous Microphone that another friend
of mine bought for me and umh I mean of course the the Pop Filter could be better yeah exactly
now we're into the Pop Filters. The one on... the Pop Filter with the you know the bendy
thingie whatever sorry and the metallic bit, that is the one I wish I had, not the specific
one but the kind the model I guess, not the brand, not whatever cuz I don't know that
but it's the one I wish I had, those ones are better they give you enough space away
from the microphone. But anyway... that's what I suggest you get,
that kind of Pop Filter.
So now moving on now I am showing you how to connect the Headphones. That's the headphone
jack right there and the but.. the knob that's exactly directly above it above the headphone
jack is the one you need to use to adjust the gain and the volume of the Headphones.
And that's how the entire setup looks like once you know everything's done...
Well the Pop Filter isn't on the Microphone (Awkward laugh) it needs to be on there because
it it deals with the plosives just like right now like if your if you've you know fully
listened to and watched this video and listened carefully, you'll hear some plosives because
my pop filter is not so great and you know for recording voice overs and audio you need
to be as close to the microphone as you can be so you know you can't help with that you
just have to be close so anyway umh the pop filter does you know it helps with the plosives
that's the Ps the "PPPP" and the "SSSS" and all that so it's a definite, it's
definitely really great you have to get a Pop Filter that's you know it's a must,
you have to get one.
However then you need a microphone stand some not not specifically from PreSonus exactly
there are bundles online where you know people have kind of built them themselves so you
get a microphone stand and a pop filter you know I think if you actually really look at
that those bundles really great umh and umh they'll be great because they save you time
and all so you know try looking out for those or you can get your own microphone stand,
the one I got isn't so great so I'll have to replace that soon so yeah ah...
that's it and I hope you know this Tutorial/Guide/Buying Guide is helpful for you.
I was, when I was tryna you know start to create this I wen... I went online and I was
trying to find you know like people who were new to this like you know it kind of helps
to be you don't really need a professional sometimes you need someone who's like you
know new to something as you are so it kind of helps they know what will work as.. ah
you know aside from all the actual technical bits and all that they will kind of help
you you know like guide you into the the light if I may (awkward laugh) but however so I
was trying to look for videos like this most of them were actual videos from PreSonus and
some of them were not as elaborate as they could be and I am sorry if mine is has become
one of those for you but you know I've tried my best and I hope you know it's it's
helpful so just in case you know people watch this video, I hope they do, I hope you guys
