I can't wait til 40 makes a podcast to just geek out about gear and mixing.

This shows that it doesn’t matter the DAW, great music is produced anywhere.

[@bhaveshtochabbra6853]

Wdym? Does he use audacity?

[@TheHotspotNet313]

Facts and some DAWS do things better than others. I strictly do everything in pro tools but that’s not how I started(FL, MASCHINE,MASCHINE+ PRO TOOLS, STRICTLY PRO TOOLS). An Engineer that I work on stuff with does majority of mix/ master in pro tools, then runs it through an ssl and does the final process on Logic Pro

[@ILaxative]

@@bhaveshtochabbra6853 naw he was talking about gadget using nuendo..most people dont think nuendo 11 pro is amazing anymore for some reason or they think nuendo was discontinued for some strange reason but its top of the top

[@Byronic19134]

@@ILaxative Nuendo is dumb overkill to make a hip hop record on. Mixing on it yes but if you're a beat maker Nuendo may get in the way more then anything. Same story with Seqoiu and even Pro Tools to some extent. Reason being is because the way it handles midi and sequencing just is more laborious then something like FL or Ableton

[@ILaxative]

@@Byronic19134 crazy because I made two beats, one for nba youngboy and one for Lil baby on the spot in the front of them using Nuendo lol. The MIDI in nuendo is the grandfather for a reason. Especially for orchestral stuff. I play my drums and keys in and manipulate MIDI slightly afterwards. I’m not heavy handed on drawing MIDI for a whole hour. Hi hats and snare rolls are done on my mpcx or groove agent. I also own ableton and all other daws. FL is too slow for me as it’s too much clicking. I still have it and update it but haven’t made a beat in it since FL3 lol. Blessings king.

[@padawanjesus]

THe low end on Marvins Room is crazy. It hits everywhere. I will never forget hearing in in college. I was like while this is different.

[@omkalaichelvan]

40 sounding incredibly Canadian at times with the accent. 🇨🇦

[@gdubs8981]

i wish ppl would ask him more specific questions about his production process. he's a musical genius and in his interviews no one ever asks how he makes his music like wtf

[@sebastianp9445]

Agree totally, big up!

[@JerseyJacob]

He’s answered this before.. he basically says he makes something.. fucks shit up.. fucks it up more until he gets something so fucked up that he couldn’t even reverse engineer all the fucking up he did. He also uses samples, and plays the piano to the metronome to set the mood or vibe

[@Skrenja]

I know. All these interviews are hella vague.

[@dathunderman4]

@@JerseyJacob I think people are more so asking about what plug ins, scales, or specific sounds he likes to use but at the end of the day I’m pretty sure he keeps his process open and spontaneous, and people aren’t gonna get the super specific answer they’re looking for.

[@gothxm]

​@@dathunderman4 What I think people want more of is practical advice rather than conceptual interviews where they just talk about general music topics. It feels It's my gripe with most audio engineer content. Some of the best content I've seen has been stuff I found on accident like Nick Mira making beats for 8 hours or content where practical tricks are shared. For example, Glitch Mob was talking about the default Ableton compressor and how if you really crush a sound with the threshold really low, and if iirc, you make the release really fast and play around with the attack, you can start getting some really cool altering of the sound that isn't the "intended" use for a compressor. It's those kinds of things people want. Both getting better at using their basic tools (Which, to be honest, comes from just making a lot of things with your default tools) but also learning little techniques that you can add to your bag of tools. Also, the more mathematical stuff (dealing with the shit like logarithmic curves and the relative nature of "loudness." There should be more content like that created by people who actually understand their craft. All people want is to see the engineer at work and hearing their thought process while actually in their DAW, not just their history or vague ideas about music. Especially on a show with incredible guys on like this one.

[@muhammadhadid4151]

I like how 40 was all geared up for the interview and the hosts were just sitting in front of their laptops 40 CERTIFIED 🐐 💯 great interview nonetheless

I've been having trouble with my vision today and it really had me down because I couldn't look at my screen and produce anything without getting a massive headache. Being able to listen to this in my dark ass room has really made my night, and I can almost hear 40s smile during the intro. Timing couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you for all you do! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Gadjet low end is because of his Jamaican background and influences, his brother also plays bass so he was also around that sound. He was also a instructor at Trebas when we were using the Atari 1040st. Great guy!

@@jimjoe4309 it was like mixing before that seemed like a strictly a very technical thing you know.

To this day i still can’t get my oscilloscopes to look anything near as damn fucking perfect as 40s, views is a flawless masterpiece, nothing was the same’s scopes weren’t as clean as views but were still phenomenal but is to be expected because views came 3 years later, i put my beats in rotation in media player in exported form to compare scopes and my scopes look more like if your reading this and i think its because im using fl studio which is no where near as good as pro tools for mixing and mastering. My beats are on mixtape level right now but im getting really good at using the plugin maximus and paremetric equalizers and multiband compressors. If i had a chance to sit down and meet noah i’d legit break down in tears because your music has made my music climb mountains from where i was 7 years ago when i first started this.
