Noah '40' Shebib - Pensado's Place

[@tp8627]

40 is a top-tier producer. Will go down as one of the best.

[@neovincibeats]

one of of my top 3 Kanye 40 Red 1

[@michaelguerrieri3486]

@@neovincibeats 40 played the kid in goosebumps go eat worms.

[@thekidcalledBLACK]

It's crazy how a producer, engineer, and recording artist all can hear a song differently. Before I started producing. I heard the beat and flows. Once I started producing. I heard the beats, patterns, progression, what drum instruments are being used, etc. I wanna hear music as an engineer like these guys. They can hear things I never even realized existed in these song. Wow.

[@KQY614]

jalen martin its like once you hear a song you start dissecting it like a computer :)

[@Ayplus]

+jalen martin Same here. I had the same progression as u. I'm focused heavy on mixing now and Its crazy what u hear when u pay attention to the mix. ALOT of modern commercial music is over compressed and have subpar mixes.

[@Kigoz4Life]

+jalen martin and Kanye is the best at that. Dissecting songs.

[@Kigoz4Life]

+R3DD3AD47 and Kanye is the best at that. Dissecting songs.

Drake is lucky to have this guy for real.

[@fat80832]

+JERM bando!

[@Luckbeats]

This guy is 80% drake

[@KQY614]

Luck: you are 100% correct, forreal man, drake wouldn't have his own sound without 40

[@whiteibis1354]

this guy is a moron

[@LucyHelyer]

love how the interviewers are so respectful and praiseful of everything 40 does and has done. They don't patronise, show bitterness or jealousy only pure appreciation and respect of his work. Inspiring interview thank you pensando's palace

[@gruvar9088]

fancy seeing the don lucy here mad ting

[@chriswellz5993]

I wonder why 28 people thumbs down this video. 10 bucks say it's because they despise Drake. I can't imagine disliking this. The information 40 is pouring out is awesome. As a fellow engineer, man!

[@Icycoldonthetrack]

+Chris Wellz well look who it is

[@chriswellz5993]

Reshard Watson Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol

[@backobushkush933]

+Chris Wellz I don't like Noahs beats love his older shit but I'm not putting up a dislike cause I respect his movements.

[@HiImRack]

First time ever seeing who "40" actually is. By far impressed and how empowering his knowledge is for engineering and music philosophy is. Def look up to this guy even more as a engineer and producer.

[@Glenuig]

He's a very talented guy. You only have to listen to the beats of Drakes album to see how different he is from what everyone else around today is producing. Hope he stays in the game for a while.

[@kaydunk3149]

Glenuig Just based off of his diversity, I know he's here for the long run. Thats why I look up to 40 because though he has his particular sound he doesnt abuse it like other producers.

[@MrManuel1329]

"Nothing Was The Same" was the best

[@jjredbrick8274]

it was a cold album

[@christine7521]

I love hearing 40 on interviews, he knows what he wants and he knows what he's talking about. On top of being great he's extremely humble and just real. If I ever choose to produce, it would be because of him

[@l00pdigga42]

You can do it too!

[@christine7521]

Silky Slim thanks man! I'll try, but 40 real does inspire

[@christine7521]

Thanks Jaime, working on it one step at a time :) I appreciate the encouragement

[@RamMohammadJosephKaur]

@@christine7521 it's been 4 years since your comment. So were you able to produce music?

[@yohaanlobo5560]

Yo are you cydney Christine? The girl who produced money in the grave? Lil CC. Damn if you are , this is amazing

[@bigdap100]

Young Guru and 40...These were the ones I always stayed around for...so thankful for this.

[@o0Lazer0o]

Thanks for telling me. Bye now, take care!

[@o0Lazer0o]

Nick Kovacs i still havent watched it yet. i will be sure to Sooner Than Later

[@PudWhacker]

The puns in this section is just coming back to back

[@SuperFear83]

Noah is so right about using samples and altering them beyond their initial sound. You can build off that and then take the sample out.

[@RuNZiT1]

The more and more I learn about music.. The more I realize that making music is like making a movie... From a movie perspective you have to have 1) Good actors.. 2) good director 3) good producer. And also take good shots and what not. With songs : Good rapper/singer good mixer , good audio engineer. It really all has to line up.

[@EPICPACKOPENINGSXD]

I never knew music was so complicated before I got into it.. Audio engineerig/mixing is literally so underrated

[@lolaispure4296]

[@Tomatofury]

There's no pause button when 40's talking 😂

[@chriswellz5993]

+Zaki El Horan Ironic you have 40 likes on your comment. I want to like your comment so bad. But I can't because 40 is the man. lol

[@ZimzalaBeats]

+Chris Wellz haha was thinking the same :D

[@Tomatofury]

Chris Wellz Yeah, haha he is the man

[@ninety_three_93]

i usually pause a video but not this one, it was cool

[@LosantoBeats]

You dont even want there to be a pause button. This guy is a fountain spilling knowledge.

[@IllSoulProductions]

I LOVE 40'S PASSION!!! YOU ROCK 40!!!

[@Penstarkid08]

Drake " I don't hear the beat, I hear the spaces in between the beat." What a great concept and different way at looking at this.

[@wonya]

This was beyond dope. Thanks for this. You guys HAVE to get Mike Dean up there!

[@YoonIsaac]

mike dean was on twice!

[@kimseniorb]

Isaac Yoon could you please point me to the second one? I've only watched the 14th episode with him.

[@YoonIsaac]

kimseniorb mustve mistaken with another artist. Oops. Yea he was on once.

[@davearmstrong4579]

Yes Mike Dean is a Must!

[@kimseniorb]

***** you are not quite right, on the moment this comment was posted, there was only one Mike Dean show.

[@ampfu]

Noah is being so specific when giving out gems i love it. The reason why love i Drake is because his vocals is so clear. Nothing is clashing!

[@PRSOne]

That's what passion looks like, kids. I wish they had asked a few more technical/mixing questions, but you see what it takes to make it in this interview. That guy loves what he does, no question about it.

[@prodmikebeats]

40 is such a legend... inspired the sound behind my beats. I probably come back tot this interview at least 2 times a year and still find new gems that I missed from before! So much great info in this!

[@LEAFEnt]

MIKE Beats same

[@Flavio617]

I always find myself coming back to this video for much need inspirations love it

[@RobinJohnson]

Love how Dave slams his ego down at 36:00 I had to LOL

[@kalman703]

totally understood what he was talking about when explaining using samples as a palette. He might not even use the sample but he uses it as a tool to build the beat

[@anthonywallace319]

You don't really get to see how brilliant he is until you watch this interview. I'm glad he killed the noise of people thinking he just uses a low pass and actually puts work into his music. I'd actually like to hear more of the So Far Gone sound with more R&B artists.

[@roderickmack5922]

My first time watching Pensado's Place. This was an interesting and engaging interview. Thanks

[@qqqopeth]

I didn't know 40 had MS! I'm just about to turn 22 and was diagnosed this month. I've had the exact same mindset he described since my diagnosis and it's inspiring to know that you can still achieve and get shit done despite this disease. As always, a great show guys!

[@SolarHeavy]

Wow, he's a huge inspiration of mine for years, his work with Drake and filtering methods are so incredible, this is the best interview for me yet

[@OMALIE360]

I've watch this before and i will watch it again.. i am creating my Mixtape in my bedroom and i just know that something GREAT is going to come out of it and this right here is good motivation.. Thank NOAH..

[@876BIGDISEM]

Watching this i realize that i don't know shit..nowhere i need to be..Makes you appreciate Drakes music even more.

[@burksdidit4029]

I've been waiting on this day for a long time to see 40 on pensado's place, Thanks Dave and Herb

[@geronjenkins18]

His story about how they recorded So Far Gone is crazy. That proves that it's not what you have but it's how you use it.

[@dylos89]

Could listen to this dude talk forever. Genius of audio and music.

[@jasonkellner6784]

Thank you very much, beyond anything, for this interview. its raw and the connection between dave and 40 is amazing in terms of mixing. amazing advice and personally an amazing reminder to be comfortable and not to let your ears be around too much hiphop if you're going to produce hiphop. I love how 40 said he sometimes goes to van morrison and the beach boys to clear his musical palet. Thats something every producer needs to do. 40 is so humble. He's supposed to be where he's at!

[@deegee9198]

I was having a BAD f**king day today... Then I saw this. I get to learn NEW TIPS from 40!!!! HELL YEA!!! Thanks!

[@TantuBeats]

Very inspiring episode, thanks!

[@AM-dh7nj]

Als ik jou vind in de comments dan weet ik dat ik goed op weg ben 💯❤️

[@dean7055]

40 Seems so passionate for what he is doing, every artist dream to have that kind of producer

[@chrisgearhrt]

wow. every time i catch PP the comments are begging to have 40 on.. and you did it! big thanks for making things happen for us Dave & Herb, big thanks.

[@cjfromgtasanadreas]

7:46 lmao he's writing everything down like there's no tomorrow :D

[@Deevious26]

Noah "100%" Shebib. Great interview!!! :)

[@devantelartey9254]

"Everybody assumes I use low pass but I actually cut down the sample rate." damn Noah

[@grimmcyph932]

I said that same shit

[@BooyahL]

If you understand a bit the math behind filters, the two things are really the same lol... A low pass filter behaves like an integrator, something that averages signals trough time, so it's like you are using less samples

[@sebastianfjorn]

@@BooyahL if you mean that both actions cuts frequencies then yes, you're right. to make it more simple; a lowpass cuts frequencies and if you degrade the sample rate, it erases frequencies. but degrading the sample rate leaves a more grittier sound than if you were to use a lowpass.

[@adrith5722]

how do u cut down the sample rate?

[@dgayle2348]

Can someone explain this in regular terms for a non musical person?

[@jordanadler6853]

One of my favorite producers out there now. Respect to 40

[@TheGnarlymitch]

I never realized how awesome and now inspiring '40' is, not only is he a great producer but just an all around great person. It's funny because I can see how much '40' and Dave have in common during this interview and I think Dave really see's his once younger self of who '40" now is. Great episode, only if you guys had the time to sit down with 40 and show us some of his own tips on producing.

[@emtiedvessel]

This session was gold.

[@RiazPhillips]

I swear where tf does Herb get these Rare polos.

[@GamboTheGent]

haha, true, hes beastin them Polos

[@henryleonardo3544]

Noel "Gadget" Campbell has been Drake's mixing engineer since Nothing Was The Same. Gadget deserves just as much credits

THANK YOU!!!! Today is a good DAY!! I love Pensado's Place

Noah Shebib is a very well spoken dude. Very smart and good knowledge on his craft

[@MGMusicbeats]

40 is such an inspiration

[@dominicakadc]

Drake is the luckiest dude. He would not be where he is without this dude. Swear.

[@MarkLn1]

kinda like young chop and chief keef or yg and dj mustard or jahlil beats and meek mill

[@marchfifth1754]

Him and Boi-1Da made drakes career

[@Ayplus]

And vice versa. Its called a team.

***** explain...

Dave with the FLEX 💪🏽 “I know, I worked on it.” 😂🙇🏽‍♂️

[@Midnight_online]

ive been producing music for two years. hope i become as good as Forty. real inspiration

[@santiagoskywalker]

How does this only have 300k views, these are literal gems. Only comparison Drake has saleswise is Michael Jackson and 40 is this generations Quincy Jones.

[@yoveezyb8427]

This dude is so freaking talented and humble.

[@TheOlixkilltrocity]

Well, I think it's fair to say I've just found my new favourite KZbin channel.

[@LosOnTheKeys]

You guys are really the best. I really relate to 40 talking about starting with chord changes and melodies. Awesome vid

[@SHOCKMATIC2008]

Thank you Pensado's Place!!! 40 is a major influence in my life as a Music Producer and aspiring Engineer!!

[@lilseed559]

mannn i want to be just like these guys breaking down anysong and know what plugins that the engineer used and stuff

[@Kercks95]

He doesn't wanna write lyric because he's a perfectionist and knows it might just be mediocre where as his beats are prime

[@eliakaiser1290]

Agree. And he is friends with someone who knows damn well how to write.

[@JustGotCrucified]

Awesome! I've been anticipating for this for so long!

[@irritablysavvy]

Amazing conversation. Such a smart discussion. Nicely done Pensado's Place.

[@henryleonardo3544]

The statement about the Toronto sound is a humble response and I like that about 40

[@LogicDaBeatman]

wow this is so inspiring..i love this interview and im watching it for the 3rd time right now. Thank you 40 and everyone at PensadosPlace for doing this interview.

[@lilpatofficial]

Thank you so much for this! We've all been waiting for this interview for a long time and I can say it did not disappoint! Drake and 40 have one of the most interesting sounds out these days and a lot of us have only dreamed of having a peek inside of that process! Thanks again +1

[@mrslapside]

I actually went back and listened the that mixtape and the engineer really did a great job.

[@Nolai]

Great producer and composer. I am starting with the melodic part as well cause Im not so set to a loop or region and it just lets you vibe way more and create bigger arrangements.

[@kennyxx]

I love this thank you guys the whole team

[@Samsonmanase]

A lot of niggaz looking confused but if you produce you get what these mans is saying !!!

[@JAYFLOPROBEATS]

yep

[@Samsonmanase]

I know what you mean but i think we all know 40 for producing then egineering . Don't act tough on the net kid!!

[@OZZOZZ]
