Five Amazing Days

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

I am fascinated by this hard reset happening on KZbin with copyrighted material. IMHO, it is IA based, someone is running Bots over the video content, and will be merciless. Was it needed? Duh! Is it too harsh? Perhaps. Will it need fine-tuning? Of course! Is it fair that 100% of earnings go to the claim? Probably not. Rick Beato spoke-out about the need for educational licenses for KZbin educators, and he is probably right, but the correction is more aimed at dudes posting entire albums without authorization, making goofy lyric videos or using pop tunes in their summer vacation videos. Those guys are the bulk of the problem, with educators being a marginal amount of the big picture (negligible quantity?). IMHO, royalty free tunes can only go so far, so, now that stealing music earnings will be harder (impossible?), this may open new avenues for composers, media libraries, and maybe collaborations between content creators. One can only hope.

[@TheCrowHillCo]

I think it is a massive issue and fear in my heart of hearts that the music industry is going to do another “mp3” which could prove apocalyptic. I think us media composers are more sensitive and understanding about the use of underscore and I fear our own industry is going to write us out of what could potentially be the only significant broadcaster on the planet in 10 years time. My kids don’t watch telly, they don’t watch Netflix (I give it ten years max) Amazon ha ha ha! It’s all about KZbin. They don’t care about my job as a media composer they don’t give a monkeys about Spitfire but the fact I’m on KZbin makes me legit. If you write us off KZbin you write off our profession IMHO.

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

@@TheCrowHillCo Hi Christian, love the channel! IMHO, the mp3 did not kill content creation, it killed the remuneration of content creators. Music and video are more consumed now than ever before, yet earnings are at an all time low. The arrival of the mp3 made content more accessible, yet drove the music industry into a panic which led them to surrender all good sense, and later led them to embrace streaming (which drove earning even lower). The music industry forgot the first lesson of economics: SCARCITY DRIVES VALUE More music, more often, via more distributors is not equal to more revenue. It makes everything worth less (literally worthless, IE $0.0008 a play). This being said, I think the fear of alienating consumers like in the early 2000s (aka the Metallica & Co. debacle) is less possible now because it does not impact content availability. Back in 2003, people turned to peer-to-peer mp3 files sharing to avoid paying for content. They can still do so today. What is new, is that with AI-driven Bots filtering everything for copyright infringements, folks no longer can post content on KZbin without the copyrighted material owner being compensated. This far better than copyright owners constantly having content pulled. Now anyone and everyone can used copyrighted material ... they just can't financially exploit it. As a content creator, you know want your content to be shared and used more than ever before. The more it is out there, the more $$ you get. This only creates a problem for KZbinrs who do not have full ownership of their content: 100% ownership of the video and 100% ownership of the audio - or some License-Free content. For those who are only video content creators, it is a wake-up call. IMHO, the danger is over-abundance of audio content, semi-aeternam. KZbin has already makes License-Free music available and IMHO, that is where danger lies: oversupply ... it will make creation more and more difficult, and prices drop so low that everything will be even more worthless.

@@ThemFuzzyMonstersI don't think there's much that can be done about oversupply. None of the great, old stuff is ever going away, and people are furiously creating more and more new stuff every year. And, for artists trying to establish themselves (which is most artists), everyone is desperate to get their stuff out there and have it heard, hoping to establish at least some kind of presence. Sure, you can try to set something up to try to extract a premium from your audience base, but chances are, your audience will just skip over you and move on to one of the zillion other things out there. Only the people at the very top are going to have luck artificially creating scarcity, and they've already got plenty of money from other revenue sources.

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

Lee Blaske 100% - being original, different, weird, etc. is the meal ticket. You have to be the sole supplier of “you”: ie Beyonce, Freddie Mercury, Lady GaGa, etc. The more unoriginal you are, the harder it will be. Now, I think Streaming services have well demonstrated that they are terrible business model. There are too many of them, all substitutes of one another as far as consumers are concerned. Once the playing field levels itself, they will have to go behind a Pay Wall as giving the store away for free can only last so long. It can’t come soon enough. The film industry is in the same boat, but they managed their IP a lot better. They have same over supply problems, but at least they still get paid thanks to Pay Walls (Netflix, Amazon, Disney, etc.).

[@maximiliangockel]

wow, two of the greatest youtube music educators come together.

[@carlstephenkoto619]

Another fan of Ricks here! And I'll jump on the bus that wants all the footage of Air Studios I can get. I moved away from the San Francisco area lately and miss visiting all the amazing studios and facilities there. Wish I had the income to live there still.

[@VillemR]

Looking forward to the collab videos with Rick!

[@jonathanmurphy9038]

Christian and Rick together! Awesome - great video - thanks guys

[@daleturner]

Bloggeritis, hahaha!!! AWESOME!!!! Rick & Christian... mighty nice!!!

[@aniruddh_d16]

KZbin should recognize and auto-insert a label on what they call 'Copyrighted Music'. Recognition makes the original person proud, striking the person just de-values the original creator and the creation.

[@TroyLeonardO]

10:14 is a moment every artist truly loves! When people you respect appreciate your work you cant help but smile

[@clarkremains]

Thanks so much Christian!! Great to see Rick Beato there too - he's from my neck of the woods:-)

[@patjackmanesq]

Wow. I know it was a busy few days, but that would have been absolute Pat heaven!

[@zoommpro]

Not many things make me homesick but this did. And you're right - the people are #1.

[@TheAnthraxBiology]

THE GREATEST CROSSOVER IN HISTORY

[@KappaDoge]

Its amazing how much you provide to the community christian. Can't wait for the air edel studio session and following along with the score. Loved the last one you did at air Lyndhurst for Tutankhamen.

[@MoonhareStudio]

Can't believe I'm seeing Rick B and the Spitfire crew together. Fabulous.

[@andy_allen]

I love the 'Man Bites Dog' reference. There's a lot of fun and well played sound/audio jokes in the movie - worth the watch just for those.

[@nedfo72]

Awesome video Christian, thank you for this. I can't wait until the day when I can have some of my music recorded in that hall. I'm over in the states, but that'd be incredible!

[@tonya7591]

Two amazing guys! Your videos are so wonderful!

[@tutatis96]

the two best people on youtube in the best place on earth

[@henryreinach5662]

Wow, this video is a goldmine. Amazing to see this bit of the process, and super inspiring to get out there get work done!!

[@navidhendrix]

Awesome. Looking forward to the upcoming videos of the sessions.

[@keiththeodosiou]

I could watch these types of videos all day long. The 2nd best thing to being a part of them is watching them :)

[@RickBeato]

It was amazing hanging out with you and the gang Christian! Video is coming out soon!!

[@TheCrowHillCo]

Amazing so is my one, looks good sound good too!!!

[@thiagopsampaio]

Nothing but love for this channel, and others alike. Thank you Christian...

[@audios22]

Any time you can take us into Air Studios is a blessing to us Yanks. Even if it is only one note at a time. Thanks as always.

[@andreumateulamas]

Two legends in the same video... Great to see you together guys.. I follow both of you and I learn from both of you. Yo are both great educators. Congratulations.

[@mtbagz]

Thank you for all you do Christian!

[@ephjaymusic]

This is just soooo cool to watch!!!! 😍🤩❤️

[@Soobysounds]

Oh man I loved this!

[@chrissoares23]

When the appetizer is that good, you know the entree is going to be amazing.

[@dpelley]

As always, great video! Enjoy them immensely. I have not been back to London in 10 years but I remember that spring weather.. haha... I will be sure to like and share from my music KZbin account as well.

[@felixsmittick9128]

Whoa Rick Beato & Christian!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sonicindustries227]

Fabulous stuff Christian. Looking forward to the No.9 session

[@ephjaymusic]

I squeaked when I saw Rick! OMG!!!!!❤️

[@aaronnewberry]

Loving the nice BTS video, also very much looking forward to the collab with Rick.

[@SalomonAbiassi]

That's so great, all the entourage and vibe.

[@2JohJoh2]

It's nice to see the character of the libraries in the people behind it - and vice versa ... (and good taste in films too ;) )

[@slcrooks]

two of my favorites together

[@thejeffbeck]

I'd love to see some of these studios in person - there's definitely much like it where i'm from. Cheers mate.

[@charlesgaskell5899]

Great video - makes mental note to block out 3 - 4 hour session to watch / listen to / study Inside No. 9 recording session...

[@crossrootsdoc]

Well these are my two favourite YT personalities in one video. Add junkie XL and the world would implode.

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Amazingly amazing!

[@mgscheue]

So great to see you together!

[@NickBDesigns]

Great work as always

[@Latzenpratz]

Thank you very much for that insight into the business!

[@ugzbeats4813]

Thank you so much for all this high quality content ! love from france

[@callumgee1]

Awesome!

[@ThomC]

I recorded with that Soyuz mic not long ago, such a wonderful microphone. I mean, for the very little time I had with it... it was great on my voice!

[@jimmcghee8196]

Wow, pretty cool stuff

[@richarddunn367]

dude, looking at your life looks magical

[@rafaelruizcomposer1761]

fuck me! What's the great Rick Beato doin in there?? Awesome!

[@svenhegenmusic]

~10:30 Thanks @Christian Henson Music for talking with Jake about that topic on camera. I get the point of air travelling differently from a trumpet and a timpani for example. There are actually companies that chose specific speakers in specific configurations for creating the specific impulse responses.

[@16914]

yes Rick .. cool beans

[@fivewattworld]

I'd like to start a pool among the "regulars" here on whether you have, already at this writing, bought a vlogging camera like Rick's? Anyone? Anyone? :)

[@TheXerosChannel]

OMG Rick!

[@dafingaz]

🙌🏾

[@alandboydmusic]

Hello Nick! Nice mics.

[@cornerliston]

Nice to see as always. Looking forward watching upcoming videos. Sounds like really good content coming up. Wouldn't it be fun to have a round table discussion with you and Rick about copyright? I might have completely misunderstood mr Beato but I think you two have a bit of different minds on that. Those blue padding things, are they for cozy seating or some kind of reflection treatment?

[@ThomC]

Love your videos Christian, thanks so much for sharing all that with us!

[@DexWilliamsMusic]

Hi Christian, I'm loving the channel and as an aspiring 'unicorn' I wonder how much you have surrounded yourself with like minded 'musos' through your career? Was it all on your own/family to begin (as you've mentioned your brother previously)?... Do you seek affirmation from close friends that you are doing 'good' work or did you in the past? I have started on this journey of media composition a year and a half ago with a great friend who has made a career from it, but I have many other friends and family who give me feedback on my music without any understanding what I'm doing and I find it invaluable in improving the work I produce. However I always refer to my 'mentor' friend for constructive criticism. So the question is basically... 'Media Composition - Friend or Fellow?'... (In case you need a title!). Keep up the good work, it inspired me at a bit of a lull in my media composition adventure :)

[@musicbydavidsmith]

Lookin' trim, Christian!

[@Maxwellwhynot]

I wish we all could afford a brass capsule 414.

[@jimsanger]

That mic cupboard

[@4kfreelance]

The next stage of acquiring watch pages for Spitfire Audio and this channel, I recently discovered watch is for American businessesz but I have seen English watch channels and found it hard to know how to get one. Would be good for channels with lots of subcribers for Insta, Facebook and more!

[@chrisflynn6474]

YASS!!

[@NeilSpencerBruce]

But what's the camera? :) Great video (again!!) Thanks!!

[@jimsession]

hey christian, what is the name of that beautiful instrument at 12:00 ?

[@klogg1987]

❤️❤️

[@OliKember]

9:38 - We're all being Derren Browned by Christian.

[@itscameronbloom]

I spotted that as well!

[@issiewizzie]

Boys and their toys 😀😀

[@richdewhittaker1746]

Crikey,yes...38k views on the 'How Much Do I Get Paid' viddi....right on.

[@RLeaguer_Saint]

Great to see Rick Beato on your channel Christian; another of my favorite channels, so interested to hear the interview you mentioned. Paul Davids (another great KZbin music vlogger/educator, specializing in guitar, in case you don't know him already) has a fascinating and frustrating video on the challenges of music on KZbin - much recommended here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKiqYZWHbLx2acU.

[@DeGrale.]

Man Bites Dog, one of my first DVD’s. Not to be watched if you’re medicated.

[@tarnishchris]

Yah...first...i think Just buy air...just do it
