Tech Talk: Joris Voorn (Electronic Beats TV)

[@MrBoxingVideos]

I like him because he isn't pretentious about his gear, or being lazy (his words). Nor does he attempt to overcomplicate things, which I feel a lot of producers do (and for several different reasons). Clearly a man secure in who he is and what he does. Kudos.

[@MrBermo1406]

MrBoxingVideos agreed man

[@Illy_Noize]

same here...

[@ThankCOD4acronoms]

MrBoxingVideos couldn't agree more 👍

[@SeeingColor]

Beautifully said

[@lardosian]

MrBoxingVideos Totally agree, I like him.

[@laledogan8228]

"It's dangerous to get lost in the whole technical side of making music instead of trying to focus on the melodies. That's something happening a lot today." Well said!

[@tritata]

trying to focus on melodies? ha-ha, very good joke. most probably on a bass drum

[@intheblink]

What an awesome guy. It's refreshing to hear someone being open, honest, and modest like this.

[@sdoctor]

Don't let his modesty fool you, his productions are some of the cleanest, most beautiful, organic, and skillfully crafted around.

[@syndiko]

that's true, very good sounding producer

[@Unitedbambu]

Joris is a good guy - I interviewed him in 2006 for a Hong Kong music website prior to 'Future History' album and even recall back then he was very nice and unpretentious. I will have to admit that I still prefer his techno back then more so than his current tech-house or house direction he is pursuing but I respect his evolution as an artist. If anyone hasn't heard of his "Live at Tresor" Live PA he did with Alexander Kowalski (I think 2005 but not sure) it is worth a download and listen, some of his most amazing techno material there.

[@TimH123]

Agree. Relaxing to listen to someone who is realistic, comfy with them self, unpretentious. Pragmatic, logical attitude to presets. Very honest, refreshing. Joris sounds like a real person doing something he likes without being paranoid about what other people think. Interesting comment on, basically, “first idea/best idea”

[@dazboot2966]

This is what it's all about. He understands what's important - and what's not.

[@fuzzupuzzu]

guys this series is just amazing! im soooooo addicted! love it keep up the great work!

[@samikalastaja]

Joris makes a good point - what you hear at your studio is not the same as in the club and it's good to know how your studio sounds so you can adjust your sound properly to the right environment.

[@Tunetek]

Joris is direct and on point, its all about the music!!!!

[@DenisG7]

great artist, open and real

[@UTSONUT]

thanks Joris! everything you said abt gear and technology is very very significant and brings relief....we can go nuts trying to own the best gear and treating the studio ....

[@EdwinSL]

This guy sticks to his ears, I cannot blame him, these two are the greatest microphones ever.

[@kimrunic5874]

His attitude and priorities and 100% spot on.

[@alanmaxwell4945]

Enea Gjordeni In answer to your question he needs bass traps to tame the low frequencies. The room will have standing waves all over the place. Which will make errors in perception of the bass. For example the speakers are in a tri-corner which will cause a massive boost in bass. He probably found his mixes sounded light in a club, because the bass boost in the room with no treatment is misleading. Best bet would be move the speakers forward away from the wall. An ASC attack wall would help immensely. Employ lots of absorption and tuned absorbers. For example my home studio has an issue at 71hz based on the ceiling height and height of the monitors. Tuned resonator absorption allows you to counter act problem room modes.

[@arjanpetersen]

No

[@pdudlinz]

I have a lot of newer Techno tracks on vinyl. Most of them sound quite okay. However, you notice big difference if you listen to one of his tracks on Vinyl. Idk if his tracks are so well produced or mastered, but for example 'Joris Voorn - I ran the Zoo' or his Remix of 'Meng's Theme' sound so much purer and cleaner than anything I've heard before that it blows off my mind every single time.

[@thegodsrockstar]

2020 and Omnisphere is still awesome.

[@nomoregoodlife1255]

truu

[@soysir]

Joris voorn is such a dope producer, I love his tight clean sound but also love his more warm open sounding ambient tracks!

[@mattblack8509]

Could not agree more with everything you have said! First version more often than not sounds the best!

[@djTheArbiter]

Great and honest talk from an even greater artist. Totally right about the presets for example. "The guitar is the preset" - priceless. Keep going!

[@Cafeston]

Honest and to the point. Enjoyed it.

[@ryanthomas5139]

Great analogy about the presets. Makes sense

[@sethtaylor7519]

I know this video is about music but... I love that chair design!

[@jonnytheponny5753]

lol, the same with me, especially as the whole room interior has no good design and the chair does stand out so much. its a design classic costing a lot of money. its an "eames ea 108"...

[@MrVinylistic]

Nice interview. Very likable person. Agree with his opinion very much.

[@groovysoundsradio]

Best producer!!! Love Joris!!

[@hallocine]

He's right, preset music is not bad. I mean, I often create my own sound from scratch. But we you have plugins like omnisphere, you can find sounds you cannot imagine. And that preset can help you create the beginning of your track, or the hook. The main idea is that something inspire you for making music. He's right, when you say "I will use a guitar, a piano, a flute, a sax, a brass"... It's juste a range of sounds, like presets.

[@Gnurklesquimp]

My only issue with presets is how many of them seem so hard or limiting to work with... Seriously though, I love presets, they find sweet-spot combinations for you and then you can actually alter them at the source. Same goes for making my own presets, I've got a signature drum technique based on a preset filled mixer track that is itself a preset, there's still a lot of different ways I can quickly take it. I'm familiar with where I can take it too, so I feel in control and the workflow is amazing.

[@djtodochannel]

He should change out that TL Audio mixer if he wants a ‘tighter ‘bass sound. That mixer has tubes it which could make things ‘too warm’ for his liking.

[@nomoregoodlife1255]

0:56 "you can get a very tight sound on the box; which is something that you need to work a little bit harder to get in the mixer" Could someones please explain that again for me? How can something be good in the box but muddy live? Is it the modern taste for heavy bass?

[@Iofflight78]

It's really just a matter of different listening environments and a different system. Most of us listen to music from our iphones, computers and occasionally our record players at home. A lot of people will mix in their room and then take it to the car to see how it translates, and a lot of people have more than one pair of monitors for this purpose as well. Even musicians who release music don't always have access to the listening environment that clubs have to double check if it will sound good in that environment which tend to really be bass heavy with a large capacity room, frequencies all over the place, and often not as good a system as the one producers have in their home studio. So the track, which sounded good on studio monitors, can really end up being a woolly mess.

[@nomoregoodlife1255]

@@Iofflight78 great explanation thank you :D

[@ericpeters0n]

it's also possible to EQ much more precisely using digital EQs --and you have the benefit of unlimited EQ points. This is an element of greater "control" you have in a DAW vs a mixer. (The danger is you can easily EQ out all the soul/grit/heart if you don't restrain yourself ;)

[@danielkeenan1984]

What is his analog mixer ?

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

it's a TL Audio M1 www.tlaudio.co.uk/docs/products/M1-F.shtml

[@gregtechno506]

These legends always have an acoustically untreated studio. I wanna know what their secret is

[@Melanholix]

They know how to listen.

[@foljs5858]

Most acoustical treatment is way overrated - just a thing people learn from studying audio engineering and follow religiously, when it's really meant to be applied to designing clubs, opera houses, concert halls, and so on...

[@throwingbacktheapple]

This guy's modesty. Seems like an awesome producer.

[@andrewgjordeni]

So if these speakers sounds different from the biggest one at clubs what is the solution to catch the right frequency of the sound?

[@iridium1911]

I think it comes down to mastering it

[@irisssss604]

Just know your setup and reference your mixes to pro tracks and listen on different speakers and in the car etc etc.. Its all about knowing your setup and referencing and obviously having the skill and knowledge at mixing your music.

Very interesting part when he talks about his new speakers. Every producer meets the same problems i guess. As a producer I think a track will never sound perfect.

trying to hear your music with the ear of a first listener is a challenging task, most of us don't listen to music super intensely most of most time
