Could you do a techtips on how to present your music well and what software to use to make a tutorial of my music like you but just to present it. Thank You Sonic Academy
Hey there @fabriceoze
Damn, that’s some feedback… LOL 
and with a sense of humor too, which is cool 
I haven’t watch the tutorial yet myself, so I can’t comment or pick my favorite tip at the moment.
As for recording your DAW in order to present your music, I think the free OBS screen recording software and uploading to YouTube might be a good place to start. There’s plenty of resources ( especially now because of the Covid-19 Quarantine ) on the web about either streaming or just setting up OBS to record your DAW.
That said, +1 for a tutorial on this specific topic, it could be something interesting to see in a future tutorial.

Yeah my tip regarding the vocoder you can do with any vocoder… Ableton also has a similar extract midi functionality I think. I’m not that familiar with it so I’m not sure how accurate it is. If you’ve got ovox, thats great, its a fantastic plugin.
My setup I use for Sonic Academy stuff I do is OBS for Screengrabs, A USB condesner mic for audio (I got the USB so I wouldn’t have to go through my audio interface which Cubase is using), camera is a Canon M-50 with a 15mm - 45mm f3.5 lens, although I’m wanting to pick up a Sigma 16mm f1.4 soon as these lock downs are over… editing is all in Davinci Resolve. I’ve got a Radeon RX580 card for this. Additionally for live streams I connect my camera setup with SparkoCam to stream the DSLR directly to OBS.
Thanks for the info on your setup Nate 
You should have a chat with Chris & Phil about a course on this, it’s an all topic on it’s own and could be very interesting IMO.
Cheers & stay safe
Nice!!!
Nice!!!
Great tips Phil! I remember your first tips and now you’ve made me feel old! lol
Thanks for all the tips! @Bluffmunkey I heard that the softube console 1 can only be used with UAD plugins… If so, do you know something similar that I can use with things like Valhalla?
The Console 1 hardware is actually primarily designed to be used with Softube plugins, but now with some UAD compatibility too (I don’t own any UAD hardware or software).
There’s nothing specific designed for Valhalla that I’m aware of, but you should be able to map most midi controllers to Valhalla plugins. The procedure for this will vary from DAW to DAW and between controllers too. Some of the Novation and Nektar controllers have a form of automap for example, although I’m not a massive fan of that. 3rd party plugins tend to show up on Push as well if you’re using Live.
Hello Mr Shadow, I managed to find a shop which offers a try of all infected Mushroom plugins. It’s great because I can copy the same sound as you can with a vocoder.
Your new album “Arcadia” is truly incredible.
Thank you Mr Shadow Chronoprtoculture
Really great!
Hahahah funny
