commonbeats

Welcome. ✌️🌊

I’m Chris Sayburn, a “bedroom” music producer / beat maker and songwriter. I love to learn, create, share, encourage and have a proper good laugh in the process! Many of my released beats (available on all streaming platforms) were formed or finished on one of my production livestreams!

I’m a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ) and everyone is welcome here as you are.
I’m always happy to share about my faith if you want to know more - but seriously, you are welcome here regardless. 👊

Finally, I’m NeuroDivergent (ND) and production is such a beautiful creative outlet and focus.

Peace.

    Hello! Thank you for this video! I am also musician, trying to figure out my perfect setup for streaming Instagram live including Roland SP 404MK2. So my quiestion is - maybe you have tryied and know the answer 😁 - if I connect MK2 to my ipad to go live on Instagram, is any sreaming app like OBS studio ets needed? Or the MK 2 do all the job? Thanks! 🙏🏻☀️☺️

  • @commonbeats
    @commonbeats3 ай бұрын

    Ah nice! To be honest, I've never tried it but thinking aloud if you can choose your sound input in insta live the 404mk2 acts as an audio interface so that's all good that side! OBS gives you flexibility, you can customise "scenes" add overlays and alerts and handle all your audio and video in once place so if your home, I wonder if that's the best option, however if you're out and about, if you can tether your phone internet connection to your ipad, could be fun going live in random places etc.! if insta let's you choose video input too, you may be able to use your phone as a camera too!? @BJamminSinceBirth is worth checking out too, he uses 404mk2 and ipad lots so prob has more wisdom than me on it! Let us know how you get on! :)

    that’s strange, i’m not sure in truth but a few things to check - make sure just vocal track is armed - make sure the audio track is set to ext in > your mic channel - it might just be a glitch so worth restarting computer / audio interface and trying again - it almost sounds like re-sampling but can’t think why it would happen sorry not to be of any real help!

    Easy Peasy - Works like a charm - Most definitely should be a setting in Live - There's a lot of feature asks out there, so hopefully for others this will make the cut soon. Ideally, we could arm a track for monitoring when selecting, NOT recording. This is a fab work around though - Thanks a ton for sharing. I know there's a lot of work in making a simple vid like this.
