Live Mix Session with Jay Z/Beyoncé Engineer DJ Swivel | Full Sail University

[@CameronPhillips]

I still can't believe that beyonce can get applause when she isnt even in the room! now THAT is what I call a true virtuoso vocalist

[@zxb5998]

I find myself giving her a standing ovation in my own house with no one around. She's just that damn great at this

I wish Beyoncé would do a documentary on her recording process of her albums. I know there’s footage out there 😩

[@1no435]

She has footages of Beyoncé self titled on her KZbin channel and she has footage of her recording some songs from 4 in her documentary life is but a dream.

[@iago07]

Blue Ivy got the keys to the vault and she ain’t lettin us in! 🤣

[@TerrellAmari]

@@1no435that doesn’t count because that album is vocally uninspiring .. also people are talking about how she comes up with her background vocals and want to hear each harmony as she records them

[@9481Bey]

this video should be seen by all those people who think Beyoncé is just an entertainer or a cute little face who can dance on stage. She is such a professional singer and a vocalist. People should recognize this from her.

[@SteadyNUnremitting]

The vocal goddess of her generation.

[@cutekinoko_]

The way Beyoncé got me crying for imitating a guitar. Incredible.

[@ChrisLdxSinger]

Working with Beyoncé must be such a huge thing ! She knows what she wants and knows how to do it ! those harmonies are amazing ! Working with this kind of vocals with a big artist today is difficult !

[@Fresher2nudope]

The sweet Chris its alot of work but not difficult

[@yummiilemon8401]

Juan Polanco he literally said it took them 6 months to work on only ONE song and she always have ppl flying from all over the world to eork with her ??🤔🤦🏼‍♀️ y u ppl always shit on her

[@miu.u]

Im the sauce to jacksons Chickenwang people love to discredit her its not new 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@Gredran]

I like how he's like, "She's never using auto tune, never using Melodyne," Technology has made us lazy... She's frickin amazing and pure talent. We've lost that a little bit in this day in age. These hour long lectures with producers are excellent! Keep em going!

[@corettasimolovemonk2325]

You guys don't understand...when "4" came out, for a good year I could not get past this song "I Care." It was on repeat and I desperately wanted it to be a single. So to get to have this virtual master class with DJ Swivel is so astounding. Literally hearing those backgrounds and harmonies a capella made me feel like I had church for the day. I am so hungry. If there are any producers reading this and need a vocalist please hit me up. This is so inspiring, I feel like finally someone understands my obsession with this record.

[@tessprettymess]

I know I’m a year late lol but SAMEEEE HERE. I MADE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY LITERALLY HATE THIS SONG LOL. I WASNT EVEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WHEN IT CAME OUT BUT I LOOOOOVE THIS SONG. I AM SO GLAD U FEEL THIS LIKE I DO‼️

[@wetamup2009]

I can’t stop playing the live version of I Care from her Coachella show, that she could so closely recreate the studio vocal on stage after doing a number of other songs and complicated, physical dance steps really, really speaks to Beyoncé’s talent level.

[@Official.tadiwa]

I care and start over were it for me. I was like do people understand this woman is singing

[@dabnailz5805]

I watch the DVD ALL THE TIME. this and I rather die young be on repeat.

35:56 - that was fire on both Beyoncé and the engineer's part.

[@JK-up7ng]

Beyoncé is just... Incomparable. Every single song of hers has vocals. Even her rap songs have harmonies. Flawless, a trap song, has operatic hidden vocals. So crazy

They don't help as in plug n play in your mix and they'll totally work for your song. But they're good for understanding what the preset maker is going for. Sometimes if I'm stuck... I'll load up a preset and just see what they would do... And then I adjust from there
