Louis Bell is the king of mixing and perfect analogies lol

[@TheBlashMusic]

This guy’s analogies are so good, he sounds like a professor 😂

[@7thvervetheproducer800]

😂😂👌

[@DjScar]

anyone count how many analogies dropped ? Jesus. That's a sign of a highly intelligent person

[@nursez2586]

I thought Louis would grow up to me a mathmatician. He used to help me with math homework...hahaha...life is crazy. He was the smartest kid growing up and still is. Wow! Good job Louis, you have done very well for yourself!

[@ericmahoney9606]

How cool. I would love to meet him. Seems like a very intelligent guy.

[@markyd3457]

Lou was my closest friend growing up, he is the most intelligent, interesting, talented, and comical person I've ever known. I was always so proud of his effort and final product in everything he expressed, he is an artist in every entertaining aspect, hes a great comedian, actor, artist, singer, rapper, producer, song writer, and his freestyle game goes on for days along with his analogies as you all know. Since Im stuck here in Boston I've grown to miss him we hungout just about every day for over 16 years till he moved to Cali to chase his dream which he very well accomplished. Miss you buddy but so proud I lost count how many times I told others you were gonna be famous some day I always bragged about your talents I love this kid keep killing it Lu Balz

[@SeanDivine]

Awesome interview. Louis has such a unique perspective and an interesting way of expressing it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@vivamadre4522]

Louis is on another planet. Louis goes way beyond music production and is definitely a deep intellectual that seeks structure, life and the pursuit of the moments passing us by.

[@thevrdct]

get frank dukes on the show

[@spatialsoul6207]

This was an amazing two part series. Louis, you're not only one of the most successful producers and songwriters of this generation, your understanding of the musical process along with your ability to communicate it to others though highly insightful analogies is truly inspiring!

[@columbiaecho]

Great Interview with Louis Bell! He speaks my language!

[@ALLGOOD_MUSIC]

Love you guys thanks for another great show. And thanks everyone behind the scenes for all you guys do for a great production. Great job!

[@aricmeerbott3323]

This guy is the GOAT of metaphors/analogies 😆 Awesome episode!

[@spacecash9721]

Alexander Analogy Bell is this dudes name as far as I'm concerned.

[@signaturesound8835]

one word for this man - incredible!

[@bigjoe5144]

Take a drink every analogy!

[@dariofromthefuture3075]

The dude is clearly really fricken smart. But also energetically sensitive. A wicked combo.

[@hartmantexas5297]

This is one of the best videos on KZbin ever.

[@thecurdge5934]

the detailed philosophy breakdown is mind blowing. gems for dayssss

[@stdavis]

Yesss finalllyyy🎶🤘🔥

[@GuilhermeWBarreto]

Beautiful interview, really amazing.

[@KENDALATICONSTUDIOSATL]

You have to allow yourself to make adjustments. You cant let go of the human element. Great advice.

[@TOOFLYMEDIA]

I enjoyed "Into the Lair " with Jaime. What he did with the vocal is awesome. Great job you guys!

[@WillJukedTheBox]

Great convo

[@bycmano3878]

King of Analogies

[@Rambonbon]

So good

[@barryzito5721]

Headlights and taillights/white and red blood cells. Best analogy of the video.

[@alexandernemzek9899]

For the vocal mixing analysis part at the beginning, I think it would be nice to bring up the mix blend level higher for the plugin of focus and play it with the higher level so that people can know what to listen for. THEN, play it back with the lower mix blend level, and/or bypass all the other plugins on the track. I just found it a little difficult to really pick out what each was doing. Awesome show though!

[@mantramusic5009]

yesss

[@juanchis.investigadorsonoro]

You guys keep bringing it! I still have to catch up to your last episodes, I've been so busy. It's so great to see people that are so far in the industry that also care about this. People is always first! There would be no music without people that make it or that listens to it.

[@solootto]

Allen Ritter next pls

[@MattySagz]

This guy talks in metaphors lol

[@scotthstevenson]

Metaphor world record I think, amazing. I’ve never heard so many in my life, it’s like 90% metaphor, 10% normal, hilarious, I love it.

[@MattySagz]

i agree 100% it was great!

[@DjScar]

Analogies

[@CutTheBullshitFitness]

Thank you!!!! Is there any chance you can bring Abel Tesfaye....? 😁

[@scotthstevenson]

Wasn’t frank dukes actually Jean-Claude van damn in the Kickboxer movie’s 🍿

[@tonijoseph-raji6254]

This man is a genius

[@iammkblv]

Along with the voices..

[@erice1763]

why did you guys split this interview in half?

[@cmajorca]

What song is that on Into the lair with Jaime Estalella? Sounds awesome!

[@NOQUESTIONWHO]

15:15 Daves had enough "Great answer"

[@bradmodd7856]

outboard preamps don't matter anymore, you add that color later, I think about using a 414 and mic model later

[@WillJukedTheBox]

Apollo twin for the win

[@descentintozachstrom]

man it's very hard for me to tell the difference when a/b'ing the subtle plug ins. is there a way I can improve this skill, or does it just come with lots of practice? thanks for the content guys

[@statebeyond373]

Repetition and really honing into how the frequencies collectively are affected when using certain plugins on different things

[@glassy.worldwide404]

wow

[@tthetechnician3912]

Wish Dave would've shined some light on the famous vibrato/voice/quiver ;) (Halsey and Post records)

[@lunchboxlimited3806]

They spoke about it on the first part of the interview where he asked him how is that created

[@abelb.9040]

I couldn't notice the changes on the vocals with LFOTool or OmegTransformer, but on Slate's VMR which was more obvious. I'm the only one? :/ (would be nice to exaggerate the effect a second so the less hearing-gifted can perceive what the plugin is doing).

[@bloodromance4776]

This man is a genius, it would be great if this old guys just shut up and do not interrupting him. FFS why they do that???

[@ernieg]

432hz

[@Super-id7bq]

Biggest load of woo shite going.

[@reverendoz]

dunno why, this show reminded me of Mos Def - The Rape Over

[@davecheney8501]

Herb is the king of stating the obvious lol

[@hiponicaudio7930]

This dudes to intense. Chill brah.

[@Super-id7bq]

It's all that 440hz music mate. That and cocaine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Fishoilification]

only a 600 dollar interface going into a 10000 dollar mic!

[@scotthstevenson]

Into the lair guy talks exactly like Dave, same words, same spacing,same style, accent obviously, so bizarre.

[@Bestavashvili]

💀

[@GARZA_ICMG]

ra tuning ey?

[@_gusfuentes_]

can he send me one of those "broken" apolo twins?

[@fuzzupuzzu]

smart bugger

[@Super-id7bq]

I can't believe he's fallen for the 432hz woo bullshit man. Jesus Christ lol. Get ya crystals out boys, we're gonna cure cancer with mumble rap 🤣🤣🤣🤣
