How tho?? Taras Stanin | The Hills - Reaction!

[@CraigAddy]

I've lost count of the number of times I've listened to him do this and everytime I am 100% engaged and inspired.

[@SidWha]

Taras special talent. He is a polyphonic singer and has polyphonic beatbox techniques that are out of this world.

[@TheLiquidRemix]

He has an amazing voice sure, but theres no polyphonic singing in this track, in fact ive not him do polys at all. The deep voice is not poly

[@be-art-iful1215]

Taras is from Russia and won the Beatbox championship there I believe three times. He has only recently started added singing to his beats. He nails it consistently and I think he has a great voice. ❤

[@PrymalChaos]

Excellent pitch!

[@Tocinos]

Really? 😂 I've followed him for 5 years and the first I saw from him was singing (especially with his signature voice effect)

[@artemdovbysh9470]

ТАРАС ЛУЧШИЙ🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@ranahooke1907]

There’s absolutely reverb, delay and panning. Just like it would be used on any produced track. That doesn’t detract from the impressiveness.. just adds to the musicality. 🔥🔥🔥

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah it’s obvious in this case, but I make a point to choose my words carefully because in the past I’ve mentioned obvious things and two years later I still get comments like “nah bro- he doesn’t use delays! He plays every note! “ Some people don’t like to believe that their heroes aren’t super human. It’s kind of like how there is this irrational fear of backing tracks in live metal performances. Everyone wants a modern show synched to huge video panels and intricate sequences light shows, and all of the cool 80 piece orchestra and choral parts included, but god help you if you have the audacity to use a click track and live backings. This dude is super human, and the production is also world class. I had a blast watching this one! 😀

[@petttybettty]

​@PrymalChaos his fans know that in order to create something this amazing, editing is required. Good thing is, we already know how powerful he is without all that. It's shocking, lol.

[@PrymalChaos]

@@petttybettty yeah. It’s abundantly obvious that his rhythm, pitch, musical acumen, coordination, and vocalisations are out of this world.

[@shira158]

@@PrymalChaos His gbb2024 wildcard covers the song Creeping again, and the only effect he is probably using is compression (maybe), shot on a iphone camera relying on the natural reverb of the room. And it sounds even better than the previous cover with effects (reverb, panning, compression and delay). Also, there are pretty much the four effects he touches, no autotune, pitching or anything else, no comping or 'mouth'-sync either. He is a genuine transparent guy, but also mad talented and powerful.

[@clayster2633]

@@PrymalChaosI heard he produces his music himself as well. Incredible talent.

[@melanie5442]

Excellent review. I'm so glad you mentioned his beautiful voice. It makes those of us who aren't necessarily into beatbox love listening to Taras. He's so talented. Want to hear more!

[@MeganFoley-l9k]

Lay person here .... shit sick watched over 2 dozen videos on Taras. Subsequently other boxers....Taras is another level. Became a subscriber cuz I wanted to continue to hear this guy. Keep workin bud....ur climbing to the top...bravo

[@masonbunnell3480]

Hell yeah brother you've never heard a produced track without the little extras. This man is a beast. Check out his tag team wildcard for gbb24. Him and impover with no effects. Amazing.

[@quirktings]

He creates and builds a completely captivating soundscape that he maintains flawlessly into a pocket of magic that is audibe bliss - from conception to production he's out here creating eargasms and using every skill he has to give us a gift - such a joy to have humans capable of such things everywhere you care to look - people exceeding belief left and right hell yeah! We humans are both terrible and incredible in equal measure, great time to be alive ❤️

[@sofiagraeffe8044]

Just pure joy for the ears and eyes!

[@Tocinos]

I've been following Taras for 5 years and he's always been crazy, even when he only got a couple hundred views.

[@PrymalChaos]

Well he blew my mind!

[@Mr333vs333]

Спасибо за видео! Одно из лучших описаний простым человеческим языком творчества Тараса, и почему он уникален. 👏👏 А то встречаются тут комментаторы, которые, с их слов, по 27 лет занимаются музыкой, но не видят очевидных вещей и не понимают, почему Тарасу нужно аплодировать стоя.))

[@warhammerLord20]

great reaction and analysis! 🔥

[@thetalantonx]

Thanks for giving his post-production and sound engineering skills due praise.

[@petttybettty]

Yea, even most top tier beatboxers can't figure out the voice filter. He does have breathing in sounds AND breathing out sounds. PLUS, he can make a sound using his chest, throat, nasal passages, tongue, and lips in various combinations producing up to 5 sounds at once to satisfy how he wants to create his music

[@PrymalChaos]

That’s wild! I can’t even figure out throat singing.

[@BlackMoridin]

I'm so happy you're someone with knowledge of sounddesign, it improves on your appreciation of his skill. His Creepin cover is also great!

[@ElleScamp]

“Duuuuuuude” 😄 That’s just crazy and fascinating. Appreciate how you can articulate all the questions I have 😅

[@PrymalChaos]

I only have more questions!

[@ashleywilliams5971]

I am a metalhead and have recently started really diving into beatbox artists. Taras got me started on this. Please check out and react to "Silver" from Show-Go. Prepare your ears and head. It's bananas.

[@OtterMellon]

His track "same" is incredible

[@ЕкатеринаП-и9з]

Ждем от вас новых реакции на Тараса! 😊

[@АндрейКостенко-г8щ]

Very deep analysis. Thank you!

[@ranahooke1907]

His cover of ‘Creepin’ was incredible as well. One I would suggest is Taras with another beatboxer called ‘Improver’ doing a cover of ZHU - Faded. 🔥🔥🔥

[@tiannaschommer4565]

My fav too

[@LoboTheMainMan-mf6kl]

Faded is the bomb

[@PrymalChaos]

Thanks for the tips!

[@LovebeesOrSakhet]

I, too, am a "lay person" when it comes to knowledge of this art, and even I know that this kid has changed something about the genre; He's basically created a sub-genre of his own. 🤯

[@CLad-C02LAD]

Fascinating performance, from what i gathered unless its a competition entry anything goes there is no limit on how much production engineering mix or adding other instruments (wind or strings) as long as the sound originates from a human. Beatbox Looping is basically all the above with addition of multiple tracks/loops of human beatbox sounds to build a track with even more complexity filters and effects to distort the original beatbox samples. A good song is a good song imho

[@petttybettty]

You pretty much nail it. He has a video of him and Improver beatbox in the corner of a parking garage, moving to and from camera to manipulate who is heard more prominently. Using the pole in the garage when they want to muffle sounds. Its a video entry to a contest where post production isnt allowed. The contest folks have people who know what technology to use to check

[@PrymalChaos]

That’s brilliant!! I have seen Ren using his movement in a space to create natural effects, but that is another other level of coordination!

[@mahalayananda]

I am happy you react to him. He brought beat boxing to another level, where regular people can enjoy it more, making it truly musical and beautiful. Every part has a purpose. You will see him producing other Russian beat boxers as well such as Improver and Helium. You might want to check his version of Zhu - Faded with Improver and also the group Ya na ha. His musicality is top notch.

[@kevinallen4743]

Like the way you try and box along, its a great showcase of his and the 'genre's' skill set - nice.

[@PrymalChaos]

It really is! I love that you can see exactly what he’s doing. Reproducing it yourself is a whole other matter. 😂😂

[@Liz-cmc313]

This young man is the best ive heard. Even without all the reverb.

[@ryansmallwood1178]

Thanks for checking out more beatbox! Taras often posts more raw audio portions of his songs in his shorts so I think many fans know what parts are being added in post. But still there’s always some overly-defensive ones that think any discussion of audio production is criticism. 😅

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah I’ve come across that before. There is no denying that this is a remarkable performance, production or not!

[@dreamgetter]

Great review! Taras is a beast for sure!!

[@briansiedenburg2514]

Yeah the production of this track was just as impressive as the actual song. Great production skills, beatboxing skills, and an incredible voice (and no doubt a crazy work ethic and drive). Stars aligned here with both skills and personality traits. You dont get that good at something without being completely obsessed and working for years

[@Cryptopotat]

Тарас 13 лет занимается битбоксом и хорошо в этом приуспел, дважды чемпион России, для своих треков он использует: Компрессор, реверб, делей, панирование на каналы и может небольшой мастеринг на всю звуковую дорожку 😊

[@notmyinfonotmyproblem6732]

He even beatboxes outside so u can see that there's ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECTS

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah I’m not suggesting that he can’t do this, all I was saying is that there are absolutely effects and production in this recording. And that in no way alters my perception of his genius! 😀

@@notmyinfonotmyproblem6732 he is working miracles!

[@jessicalingo4346]

I said in a previous video. Yes its produced to spruce up the audio but to know how much and where to spruce it up and where not to not takes from his talent. To me it adds to his abilities. Not only is beat boxing difficult to do but to spruce up the music to make this is incredibly impressive.

[@ветосветосс-ц5г]

Super!

Seems like you will not do all his cover but you ask for ''more about stuff like this'' Try that one another singer- beatboxer from russia ''VAHTANG - Feeling free | prod by Taras Stanin'' you won't regret it's very unique... thanks

[@tutgut-4u]

its a masterpice wow

[@AlelyValiente]

100% AGREE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS!! Each of his videos showcases other levels of his creativity & skill! I'd love to hear your take on these: 1. The Weeknd cover "Creepin'" 2. Original song "Same" 3. Zhu cover FT. Improver "Faded" 4. Skrillex cover "Supersonic"

[@PrymalChaos]

Skrillex!? He does dubstep too?!

[@zvezdana9901]

Yes, his song Same is dubstep style, too. And Supersonic cover is insane!

[@ilanedelstijn5252]

You should check out his collab video with Improver doing the song FADED. You're gonna be mind blown

[@king_medel]

Have you watch his shorts without the enhancements? 🤪

[@notmyinfonotmyproblem6732]

Lol. Check out his page he does same songs NO MIC and same effects still happening

[@PrymalChaos]

I haven’t seen it, but I’m absolutely certain, as a sound engineer with 20 years experience that he isn’t creating stereo effects with a mono microphone. Having said that all of the other mindblowing stuff would be just him using his god tier sorcery! 😄

MORE BEATBOX!

[@sergeystearoom9180]

1) Answering your "tAras" vs "tarAs" question. Correct spelling is "tarAs". 2) In one of his live streams he had said that preparing some of his videos was taking up to 6 months. So, it's possible that this exact song took 6 months to produce and was swabbed down to this level. Knowing Taras (I don't know him personally), this video may be originally called "The Hills cover, version 26".

[@pproof9854]

one earphone in his right ear? he just hides it maybe

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah good call.

He is 9 years into beatboxing. With nine persistent years with piano, guitar, programming, art, magicianing, motocross riding, anything You can achieve the world class level. I think he said he was 16 when he started seriously. It is a still young age, still can make alot of progress in first 2, 3 years....then just improvement to leave behind wanabies, less IQ, less interested, less focused, etc, etc.

[@quirktings]

15 years to be that guy - he stated such in a comment - it's amazing and then makes sense how he's where he is - he's living his passion 💯❤

@@quirktings The most amazing thing would be if people would not be just amazed, but inspired and recorded deeply into their brain - the most what You see as a "super greatness", "black magic", "impossible" - IS POSSIBLE, but with some conditions. 0. Enjoying the process and the results. 1. The corresponding intelligence, ability to explain what You are doing and what has to be done to progress - even with the teacher, You sooner or later will need that. 2. Persistance, and at least some strategy to not drop down or burn down just before the success. 3. Social skills, soft skills, networking, Lacking any of those points will lead to failure or will lead to the possible ceiling sooner or later.

[@danielowen5889]

Better check out, Fake and Autotune.. Taras and Improver.. it's sick AF..

[@tjrobertson4611]

Wait.. you think he recorded this live? As in the video we’re watching is the take we’re hearing??

[@PrymalChaos]

I wouldn’t be surprised. Ren is known for making elaborate live performances for his music videos rather than using the studio track. The lip sync here seemed perfect to me. I suppose he could be just reproducing his studio performance for the camera, but who knows. He seems talented enough to do this live and then play with the reverbs, panning and FX in post. I can’t say for sure though. I’m new to this whole genre. I’d love to see him perform this somewhere on location to see how he adapts to environments and production differences.
