[@Origamibeats]

Thanks for puttinng out these interviews on here they are great. If you could ask more in depht music production questions i think that would be interesting for the audience here i assume there is quiet alot of producers here wanting to learn. Rather than just knowing what music he likes.

[@maxgiles9939]

Origami love your beats dude

[@pipikakachu]

Origami making paper

[@porvidacarnal]

Kay is such a humble dude. Love the interview!

[@SerjALovelyDeadBoy]

Red Bull you have to find a solution: it's not possible to watch lectures about music without music.

[@caleblatreille8224]

do you have your annotations turned on? a direct link to the songs appear onscreen as soon as they are played, it's a pretty good solution i think

[@SerjALovelyDeadBoy]

yeah, I have the annotations turned on. But it's not the same thing without the sound of vynils and without people chilling out

[@trentcalloway7910]

copyright tho but i feel you

[@Huumf]

Serj yeah you wanna see the artist listen to it

[@Enersonn]

Thanks @Serj...true story

[@bentinho]

Man, youtubes copyright kind of ruins watching these here... :-/

[@Huumf]

bentinho so annoying bruh

[@rapsta2255]

Got damn it! That last bit of the "Breezy" track sounds dope, man! Sample clearance is a pain!

[@kaego.s]

This interview changed my life, decided to become a DJ just based on the way he describes his memories of music.

[@kaego.s]

1:02:50 specifically, when he talks about how broken headphones became an eye opener to sampling, I experienced the same thing when I listened to Frank Ocean's Lost in the 8th grade. Mind blowing to have heard him point that out, literally have a dedicated playlist I listen to when my earphones are broken.

[@Avantgarde001]

DANCE is inspirational as a catalyst for many different arts !!!

[@DANYALLAYNAD]

@62:48 in FL studio if you have a sample in Edison and select 'Convert right or left channel to mono' from the tools menu sometimes elements of the song get erased and what's left is some shit you didn't even know was there. Like a whole piano will just vanish and some background vocal will pop uo that you didnt know about. Jake one showed himself doing that with a sample for the 3 kings beats he did for Dr dre rick Ross.

[@kobyarthur5451]

Dope

[@Ben-gw7ki]

That is sauce wow

[@selasiehesse5953]

I got a lot of love for kaytranada man

[@naminamicapybara]

1:02:30 Damn I know exactly what he's talking about, I remember having broken headphones and hearing stems in songs unexpectedly. Does anybody know the term for this?

[@Deeshaw91]

naminamicapybara and me like when the lead breaks on your headphones and you hear the left side or right side of the song it's like you can hear the multi track masters comin through

[@ilikescreaming]

Phase cancellation. Both sides of your headphones will have a positive and negative lead in the wire running to the driver. These pos and neg leads feed the speakers electrical current and basically push the speaker out or pull it in, making sound. Ok, so if you have a short in your broken headphones, it's possible that the positive and negative is flipped and this is where the fun starts. Usually something like vocals comes through on both left and right equally, so if your headphone's short flips the phase, the vocal can be cancelled out, because the speakers are playing the same thing, but out of phase with each other (inverse waveform with each other). Google 'phase cancellation' for audio examples. The cancelling out of the vocals (or any material that is played equally on both L and R) will only leave the material that is more spaced out on the stereo spectrum, and that's why you hear the other backing stuff that is more stereo.

[@udaura]

This guy is so cool, love you Kaytranada!!!

[@TheRidinLife]

Legendary interview

[@ToadstoolNgema]

Watching this interview to grasp on some inspiration from Kayy.

[@DunkMasterflex53]

The interviewer done her research and she's a good writer. But if she approached this as more of a conversation where you listen and process what the other person is saying and let it flow she could of asked better questions. Luckily he gave detailed responses to such questions.

[@SiidGames-el1dh]

Flex that part

[@conniacosta1683]

Bruh exactly she was way too worried about each question she was gonna ask from all the research she has done.

[@nicolasvanruysevelt8735]

59:55 the maaaan shash'u.. lot of respect for him too

[@Huumf]

40:19 that Wu-Tang jacket tho!

[@tomfoxmusic]

[@Haztacokilla]

I LOVE THESE

[@HarrowerJX]

the song I really loved and danced to as a kid was Mr Oizo - flat beat..... could even be my first cd . what was other people's ?

[@Andygharrison]

Big up for flat beat man, the video too. Junior Senior - Move your feet was and still is the one!

[@TheFrenchFox]

Thanks man to exist

Kay is in the minority of Black Eyed Peas fans who prefers their electro era😅

[@rasraetc]

THE SHIRT THO!!!! :)

[@KevinDoseBeats]

1:07:56 God Damnit, these people sitting right next to Just Blaze probably didn't even know who he is... That's a damn shame...

[@RyNeaSoulMusic]

KevinDoseBeats they knew. Everyone in the room knew because he was there throughout the week as well doing workshops and panel discussions.

[@Jocart96]

If you heard "untitled unmastered." you know what "piu piu music" is...

[@MrJerryHsu]

21:45 I see this chick everywhere. Who is she. Saw her in Young Thugs engineers video. The engineers name is Alex.

[@juliankenzo]

is that just blaze @ 50:50?

[@juliankenzo]

lol nvm @ 1:07:30

[@frederiksassmeyer8200]

anyone know what the album they're talking about at 58:00 is called and who made it?

This is the album en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeds_(Georgia_Anne_Muldrow_album)

[@misterrcha6623]

first, nah just playing - this is tight!

[@Solomunehdasilva]

Why have they stopped playing the songs? It was more organic when you listened to the songs they played as if you were present in the lecture :(

[@Blue69HD]

when its out the alex tumay interview ?

[@nenej12]

it so great that more men of color are coming out the closet and still can live freely, especially amongst the hip hop scene

[@CasanovaDMCM]

Does anyone know where he got his glasses from????? Much appreciated

[@_kizum]

Damn, her interviewing skills are lacking. Dry....Big ups to Kay tho!

[@imosdefinite]

trust i've been to 1 of these in real life and she's pretty good compared!

[@siaseeds8950]

I think Katranada is also one of those super smart introverted dudes that can be challenging to interview. Needless to say he is a genius.

[@karimd88]

@@siaseeds8950 Yea her Pusha T interview is completely different, not to knock on KAYTRANADA ofc, loved him, but Push was a lot more talkative. As you already said, probably just a personality thing and maybe the stereotype is true of rappers being more talkative than producers hahaha.

[@Coflo]

"black musicians don't make house music".....lol. It hurts my American feelings hearing those types of thoughts coming from someone who is crossing the lines of "pop" and "house music".

[@galaxzy5265]

Coflo Ferreira Right

[@garanceahran7953]

it's so stupid, i don't know if kaytranada knows that house and rock music are music which was created by the afro-american community, it's hard when people forget the history, house and rock are black music even if the music industry and american society tend to whitewashed these musics.

[@Coflo]

I don't think its fair to say the music has been "whitewashed" but I get the undertone and can understand the sentiment. Various stories tel us that much more than just "house and rock" were created by "black Americans". Much of this countries music gifts to the world have their roots in that of Black America: Jazz, Blues, Funk, Rock, House, Hip Hop.

[@galaxzy5265]

Coflo Ferreira Rock and blues have most definitely been whitewashed.

[@Coflo]

+Galaxzy By white washed I assume you mean, taken over by a "corporate, mainly european decent" infrastructure that is selling out "the culture"? I think its just a state of mind. There is plenty of amazing rock and and blues that has moved on from its humble beginnings (time keeps rolling forward) but hasn't "sold out"...and there is also some that is still coming from the deep country side I'm sure haha

[@yungcereal9232]

whats the name of that milton nascimento? kaytra is a genius btw

[@音姫soundprincess]

the LP is called "Milton" from 1970

[@davidchapman5782]

@keixoun do you know which track it is? or the kaytranada track that sampled it?

that nigga dont speak

[@peters1223]

Real sad... they skip right though the music played in the interview in almost all of the academy’s stuff... I feel like it’s just as important as the words said

[@oldethangoogleacc8484]

take it up with the U.S. copyright system. they have to avoid it so the channel doesn't get nuked by greedy record labels

[@peters1223]

You’re right wasnt really thinking, but I feel like they could play the artist that they’re interviewing without that problem but then again the KZbin algorithm is pretty ass and would probably take it down regardless

[@peters1223]

That and it’s probably owned by not the person who created it so I’m just talking out my asshole

[@clairei299]

he's so fkn cute

[@AYYYEEEEYOOO]

while the interviewer asked good questions and did her homework. the conversation seemed stale and wasn’t flowing. she doesn’t seem interested (which i’m sure she is) but it was boring nonetheless
