How a Grammy Winning Producer Thinks - RecordingRevolution.com

[@RageByNightfall]

The thing I learned as a home recording producer is you really do have a lot of roles and you learn everything as you go. You'll never know everything no matter who you work with. I've worked with a lot of artists and everyone works differently and you have to adjust yourself with the artist. There is no one way of recording. We all have flaws, we learn at different levels. At the end of the day, we love what we do.

[@officialWWM]

Rage By Nightfall would love to hear some of your recordings. Any links?

[@RageByNightfall]

@@officialWWM Heck yeah, I did a fun cover of Nirvana. soundcloud.com/ragebynightfall/smells-like-teen-spirit-rock-cover

[@Writtenmirror]

Absolutely 🙌🏾🔥

[@reddblurr]

I 100% agree. Just as I'm constantly growing as a musician so are my producers and I expect that. As artists we should always encourage experimentation and growth. No one knows everything and we all learn along the way no matter how seasoned.

Rage By Nightfall facts 💯

[@hv2623]

Creating a vibe for the artist is super important.

[@MannyManhattanMusic]

I needed this this morning. I make rap beats and I’ve taken on the challenge of producing for a folk/gospel singer-songwriter. I’ve never done this before. First time is later today. I am most likely going to fail. I was so nervous earlier that I almost called him to cancel lol. After watching this, I am more motivated to give it a shot. Wish me luck!

[@officialWWM]

Manny Manhattan Music your experience doing a different style of music may be exactly what the artist needs! Good luck :)

[@streetmansam5073]

Best of luck with the new project Manny. Create a good working vibe and Let the music flow. Keep us updated on how things are going and what this new experience teaches you.

[@TheRustedBass]

Wow what an inspirational video. Jacquire is explaining his experiences in such a humble and honest way. He rly comes across as a phenomenal teacher. Teaching an overall mindset of how to approach things instead of getting lost in technical details on a way to expensive analog compressor which most of us wont be able to afford anyways. Very nice. Thanks Graham.

[@reddblurr]

I think the most important thing he mentioned for me as an artist was maintaining the integrity of the music. Hearing the passion and inspiration behind a take and making it work as much as possible for that reason alone even if you want to re-record the part.

[@OSWCrosshair2002]

Some times flaws are the best thing about the song. Because they are not flaws at all, they are humanizing the music and the project. If a song is too technically perfect as far as following "Rules," it has no soul and a heart.

[@Writtenmirror]

Best summary ever!

[@OSWCrosshair2002]

Written Mirror Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@jonny26281]

Well said good sir

[@Faunul]

Thank you RecordingRevolution.com and Jacquire King. These great pieces of advice from such a huge producer are truly informative and motivating.

[@Pulse2AM]

One of my biggest gripes about today's productions is the ability and over doing when correcting things, especially vocals. You hear a lot of Pop records where they use the same chorus copy and pasted 3 x and the record loses interest after a few listens. It's the subtle differences/flaws that add to longevity. Knowing when to fix something or not, copy it to another sections etc. with computers is important.

[@royzturbo]

Sometimes those "happy accidents" are the best part.

[@Writtenmirror]

This is what I keep trying to say for my own music, I don't want it getting boring quickly. It needs variation and natural quirks...

[@felipeguerrero2409]

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear this. Sometimes I get frustrated with myself when I hit a wall and don't know the solutions to achieving certain results. I understand that to be successful I need to continue growing and being patient. Thank you kindly.

[@FlacoSalsero]

Super insightful! Thank you.

[@KingKeNNySlay]

Woke up learning!!! Thanks

[@zaydlane358]

instablaster...

[@mikechilders4588]

I have learned so much from your videos!! Thank you so much and please keep putting out great content!!

[@bakedcreations8985]

He is right, the artist and inspiration is more important than a say disturbance you detect at 145.76 hz at low end or something

[@Pearlpassionstudio]

Excellent tutorial. Have a Puremix subscription and follow your work in the studio, Great job.

[@officialWWM]

What I got from this video. I still have so much to learn...

[@SteveWatsonMusic]

Thank you for posting this. Great info and perspective! Inspired humility. Awesome!

[@aminam8600]

Could you please make an in depth video about minidisc recording? Like live (gig) recording, practise and home recording. Or recording on the go, because this is still the best engineerd device till this date. You can record professional on the go. Even lossless if you use a HI-MD unit.

[@comedypal2jabulani216]

Aminam OMG YES WE NEED THIS VIDEO PLEASE!!!

[@pelikkhan8366]

This is actually a pretty good topic biut i would keep the focus on Hi-MD

[@michaellarsen180]

You are a huge inspiration mate! Thank you for sharing !

[@stephenallenmusic]

I need this course I love learning

[@FrightboxRecording]

True words of wisdom. Love it!

[@richardglobisch64]

Wise words! Thank you!

[@smtonlinevideos]

What happened to RecordMaking.org? It doesn't seem to be working anymore...

[@karasays01]

Good about being informed about current music trends, and its okay not knowing everything. I have opened up to the idea of producing individuals that you may not like or agree to i.e trap artist. I dont like the genre but if the mesage is of substance then I can produce this kind of artist.

[@SantaAnaCreations]

Ive only got 20 years in this, my mindset and work ethic is just like his but yet i still have never gotten the opportunity to even get close to working on a Grammy nominated or winning project. Its just so draining.

[@officialWWM]

Santa Ana Creations keep going...you never know what's round the corner...

[@just4dalaughters431]

Santa Ana Creations... Be at the right place, at the right time😏👍

[@jacey714]

Wow~ Spoken like a true veteran~

[@TheBawss90]

This is key advice, very insightful thanks a lot!

[@fletchtowellband6388]

Nice interview, great insights, advice

[@mazerbeamz]

Thank You 🎶

[@dctleo]

From Kenya.I feel it

[@cisko3000]

Great video!

[@SmallAlexander]

Why do my songs come out so hot? Its a do or die thing.. If i turn them down, they are too low. If i turn them up, they sound good, but then screetch on youtube

[@royzturbo]

If you aren't mixing in a treated room you are having phasing/comb filtering issues. Mastering for KZbin requires greater dynamic range and a peak at -1 db. If you are mixing for loudness the KZbin algorithms will make a mess of your file. Check out Dynameter, it should help you quite a bit.

[@SmallAlexander]

@@royzturbo yeah i dont even know how loud im mastering to because it has no vu meter to use, and i cant download one for mine. So what does more dynamic range mean? As in like use less compression, or just simply leaving more headroom. I try not to make any assumptions with music wise, this can get tricky

[@JM-co6rf]

I just spent 450 bucks in a studio re-recording a song that was already good enough.

[@hadleymanmusic]

True talents gonna have it nailed OR they rely on the production engineer. Hes the one that CAN lead to the end goal results.

[@k33f200]

Great vibes

[@DMarlow83]

Hey we have the same desk!

[@Writtenmirror]

A lot of common sense here. Being ruthlessly efficient is where I'm trying to get to... You say people respect being told someone isn't ready. That's actually where they try to prey on you...

[@dafingaz]

Awesome!

[@CarloLibertini]

Good stuff!... Thank you-

[@AceHardy]

[@Tkyotripz]

Golden talk

[@TrueGritProductions]

I recorded with a Grammy winning engineer a few times

[@officialWWM]

TrueGritProductions any links to your stuff?

[@Thadnill]

I share a dog with my girlfriend

[@officialWWM]

Thadnill that's illegal bro.

[@PlaylistProductions]

Safety Net..

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

There's very little of what passes for 'music' these days that makes me want to learn how to do it 'like the pros.' I'm a boomer. Music WAS better then. Studies on musical homogeniety have borne out the fact that there is far less variation in what is released now than ever before. Keep it. I'm gonna go listen to the re-mixed Abbey Road. When you interview someone who can top George Martin or Alan Parsons, lemme know, ok?

DOCSIDE THEATERS probably shouldn't have wasted it...

[@docsidetheaters4064]

First comment

[@officialWWM]

Jeremy Gray pity you didn't have anything worthwhile to say...

[@BloodwolfMusic]

I know... It's pity I don't play into the game of trying to sound smart in a group of people who have done what I do for waay longer than I have... It's a pity I just enjoy life and the process and have fun ☺ It sure is a pity 😂

[@officialWWM]

Jeremy Gray well, at least that was more interesting than your first comment.

[@1013redraven]

Lol...

[@chrischoir3594]

Didn't Milli Vanilli and Dave Trohl win a grammy? I wouldn't put too much weight on one
