[@AaronBakerDub]

Reaper/Ableton user here and I think I found my new favorite podcast. It’s like finally finding your people talking your language. Thank you all involved in this ❤🔥🙏🏼

[@Itsanasmusic]

OH MY GOD the idea with the sidechained signal for live performances is INSAANE! This is the nerdy shit I love this podcast for 😂

[@JTAITSINGER]

I’m screen recording that LJ Pro Tools user part! 😂😂

[@KRXTORRR]

My boi LJ got caught lacking😅

[@prosegod]

Nah that was definitely Devvon 😂

[@Sheldonatello]

This podcast is one of the rawest realest radest ones out there. Showing love from Canada ! Ay I just built a home studio this past year and finally living my dream, like you was talking about having a place to just go and record - it isn't if it's when ! Just gotta stay focused on what matters most, bring in that dough and not let the rest of the world bring you down. Stay blessed, SH!ELD🛡️

[@eartimevibes5994]

I love these videos man. I wish I had a mate or 2 that loved and understood music like I do. Yall are lucky. Keep the videos up man 🔊😎

[@silfrido1768]

There’s people all over the world, you’ll find someone

[@ZAY________]

22:09 YES! I used to have my bands In-Ear Monitors and the Crowd Mics set up this way. All 4 of us had in ears in, stereo mixes with the X32 Then we had 2 sm57s in an X pattern infront of the stage. We had it set up to automatically turn the crowd mics OFF when the backing tracks from the TrackBook start playing.

[@zaneoneday]

LJ def got caught lacking. Don’t know if u read the comments LJ but I’m the one who recognized you in the Guitar Center in Brooklyn. Like I said I’m no longer in the music like you guys but still love audio and watching you guys talk about everything so is dope to watch.

[@SweataWeatha]

Yessir! Man it’s nice to hear from you! Glad you’re tuned in!

[@davidfields1920]

2:03 this is for the history books 🔊🔊 The Man himself has officially made the switch 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@jaystunna7847]

A hidden Gem for pro tools users for the reverse reverb effect...open "DVerb" go to the part of the vocal you want to apply effect (works best on vowels ) click the end of the "vowel" hold shift and click the space before the vowel (depends on how long you want the reverb tail) highlighting the vowel and space before where the effect will start...then at the bottom of "DVERB" click reverse , then pull back the audio of the vocal clip and blend in the effect 💎

[@premiermotion2752]

Nah bruh, first vid I'm watching here. It's the way y'all speak about it that y'all have your heart on your sleeves about this shit. You mean it, you live it, and you're all very authentic. I fuck with y'all. Thanks for this insight fr

[@battomataxa]

Watched a couple of Help Me Devvon vids in the past, for years now. Great stuff.. but I only just stumbled across the Audio Nerds Podcast today and I've literally been sipping tea and binging episodes the entire day and taking notes from different episodes. AMAZING Stuff

[@JustPete781]

So many gems. I had no idea who Jon Bellion was been in a rabbit hole ever since. Might be the most talented dude I’ve heard the Italian Ryan Leslie.

[@TatiyanaDean]

First time watching an actual episode instead of just the short. Loved this convo and THANK you for shouting out Simone Torres, I searched her right after you mentioned her 🔥

[@dr_dunbar1]

The vocal side chain idea for live performances is 🔥🔥🔥

[@ScorpioCoaster]

Loving how you guys are talking about the classic songwriting process. Tips n Tricks / Techniques 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dJBoog]

I’m a DJ who only did a little beat making on MPC a couple years ago, but dropped it focus on DJing. Half the stuff y’all talk about on the pod I have no clue what y’all are referring to but it’s fun to watch and hear y’alls perspective on music. The topics are for a niche audience but the way y’all present it has mass appeal.

[@stiptreezy8481]

When it comes to less it more it does make a difference for sure. I have an analog outboard vocal chain that I put together (preamp, eq, compressor, eq, compressor) so now when I track vocals all I’m doing is some multi band compression in post and then it’s effects and automation. The process is so much faster now.

[@Prod_by_NeB]

Yooo ya’ll gotta vibe more to your own music during these shows, the vibe is absolute🔥 I love your artistic sides, ya’ll crazy entertaining and fun to listen to!

[@rjaudon13]

Devonn! me too last time I checc'd is one of my most used reference tracks!

[@shaqbo1675]

Yall said it Tpain goes crazy. He's a legend for sure

[@TatiyanaDean]

Truly.

[@iloveragebaiting]

i dont know where i been at fr ive been mixing for a couple years now and i didnt know about these podcasts i been living under a rock fr

[@tucups1809]

My favorite podcast BY FAR!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@flowsentheone1]

Damn, i love that courtney perks up the last episodes. He feels much more confident. By the way, great record. Love you guys

[@andsofeb]

I need Brandy and Leon Thomas on this show because I really need to know their process. Also D’MILE IS A MUST!!!!

[@najee2123]

Niggas sleep on Leon he’s crazzyyy bro play hella instruments too

[@HumbleGthaFiddla]

Masego and FKJ are *Ableton Live* OG's ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@Itsanasmusic]

if yall managed to get Bruno Mars on the pod somehow that would be my favorite episode EASY. The way I wish I understood his creation process so much deeper is crazy.

[@GC-fg4hq]

You guys need to bring on artists…. AND their engineers!!!! That would be amazing.

[@HTMG]

yall do that all engineers first team, and im telling you rn, the engineering community is gon turnt up. in a great way. they will put more respect on the engineers just like they do producers

[@MNYManny]

Sent this to all my music friends. That’s so crazy. Live chain is kinda fire too

[@MateoStilman]

An episode with MXXWLL would be fireeeeee tho

[@terrellgrantviews]

I think you guys should get Big KRIT on the podcast. Extremely dope artist who also engineers others and himself as well produces his own music. He fits the bill in all areas of music

[@SweataWeatha]

Would be INSANE

[@terrellgrantviews]

@@SweataWeatha Let’s make it happen bro.

[@ocularrecords]

I really don't comment as much as I should but I watch every episode. Bringing artist on the show would be a huge game changer. As an artist who records and mixes myself, I'd love to hear from others who do the same. Ariana Grande, Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future all track themselves. Chris Brown has a very fast paced workflow, etc ect. It would be nice to see the strengths and weaknesses of certain types of artist in there creative environment

[@iamquaret]

Studio one is here

[@thehse323]

The word LJ was looking for was captivating. Very captivating 😂

[@DonMichaelJr]

I'm a great rapper... but only a studio singer at best.. I'm definitely gonna Live-Chain my vocals from now on.. this was a great tip!!

[@Delly986]

I never comment, watch a ton. But “livechaining” is perfect

[@GoLambeau]

Phil Beaudreau would be a great guest! Artist, engineer, musician, and pure genius. Never gets interviews. Go listen to his song Dreams We Share if you never heard any of his stuff. He also works with legends on regular

[@DrewKaji]

Yea that "live-chain" idea is genius

[@WasabiCookinUp]

That live chaining idea is craaaaaaaaaazy

[@iamjordanpass]

Yo Courtney,spill the beans on the background vocals processing bro

[@dolapoinc]

Yo I have that episode with Simone saved... her process is sooo smooth!

[@jacksonmennen]

He Wasn't Man Enough is one of the best sounding tracks ever. It's literally my top reference

[@aarons5178]

I feel like this is the first episode these mother fuckers just realized what they got. with this show 🤣 They all three happy as hell just enjoying life. No DAW wars just chilling with they shoes off. lollllll Great episode as aways. Cant wait to see what's next #blessings

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

That was fire 🔥 , live chaining don’t sound bad

[@lilwombat]

I had the same idea of sidechaining but with guitar because I've making a lot of stuff with guitar and I find guitar so hard often i don't even remember what i played.

[@Dee.Huncho]

“Live-Chaininggg!”…..”Alright we’re gonna work on your marketing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FrostBoogie]

Bro if you get Chris brown on the podcast it’s done deal …best artist you can get on there ,I’d also like to see how Kevin gates sees mixing his music

[@PMFKari931]

LJ is beyond genius 🌅 21:03

[@JTAITSINGER]

About to head to LJ’s KZbin page to see what audio interface he chose!!

[@Freewayquezmusic]

Jodeci backing vocals is French kiss “Xs we share and Cry For You”

[@theginga3653]

“Live chaining” 🔥

[@EonJimani]

Y’all should make that live chaining a plug-in 💯💯💯

[@RckDtar]

Great show live chaining would probably only be possible with some kind of LLM, AI algorithm that makes the cuts sound realistic by generating word falloffs

[@JaQwanR]

Now we need a tutorial on live chaining caz I also am i studio artist at best I won’t sound as good love so I need to learn how to do that.

[@ScottFarlee]

LJ WALKS THE PLANK !

[@TheInsomniaProject]

listening to your "old techniques" just made me travel back yoooo 🤣

[@phillipypakasonofthelight3757]

Great podcast I watch every single Wednesday! Had a question how do I get in contact with you guys if I want a song mixed?

[@Duprae.]

Y’all set up is Godly

[@Taariq_Rashaad]

If yall get Tpain, That episode would go Superviral!!!

[@llexmontana]

For sure! 💯

[@SoulStudio19]

Y’all need to get Russ for Courtney on this. He mixed, mastered, and produced his there’s a wolf album.

[@timestretch69]

Y’all should interview Big Krit on his production/mixing/beat making…

[@huntergriffin2988]

Can you put the KZbin videos you referenced in the description? Want to check out those masego videos

[@MattParson]

2:04 That Sketch app must be 🔥

[@MixedbyRic]

Diamond member should get a segment on the pod!

[@EASTSIDEMB1624]

have yall done a episode on the best de-essers?

[@AngelMadeItOut]

I’m think the mastering classes are cool, what if I don’t have the same plugins that you use while teaching the class ?

[@mEmShannonDAB]

23:30 That idea is crazy

[@davidfields1920]

22:58 HMD Rosetta Live Chaining 👀👀👀🔊🔊🔊

[@xolisilejack5676]

Y'all should totally have T Pain! I think he'd be game!

[@ogmexzy2929]

Yo we gotta get Melvin from “PRBLM SLVRS” he mixed a lot of Tone Stith’s records , and we all know how beautiful them songs sound and feel . The way his voice cuts through and his backgrounds are pure heaven . Get him on please !!

[@SweataWeatha]

Melvin’s my bro! He’s 100% welcomed Man!

[@ogmexzy2929]

@@SweataWeatha get him on man 🔥

[@modsbeats]

Can you speak on vst installation and if theres services that will do it for you. I have trouble installing new kontakt plugins. #flgang #helpmedevon

[@boseyhad2doit2em]

the quiet moment after live chaining haha. Im a nobody or i would've told you about live chaining haha

[@emptytombprod]

Early gang gang 💪🏼💪🏼

[@OfficialADONISMusic-bv3qe]

Hey Devon, help!!! When I make a beat, I make my kick and my bass mono. But when I send the tracks to a new session my kick and bass imports as stereo. Do I have to convert them back to mono or do I just mix them as stereo? I'm using studio one. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

[@iamalxne]

yoooo i aint know LJ had the vox like that ! lol hella unexpected

[@dan_tanna]

Great video and get Timbaland for Ableton

[@SkinnEmannProductions]

Upward compression would work for that live track

[@ceelothatmane9421]

Its CRAZY yall bring up RnB but NEVER mention my boy ROBERT GLASPER. Just won best mixed album and RnB album of the year at the Grammys last year. They had to make new genre categories because he would Michael Jordan the RnB MVP every year if they didn’t 😂

[@SweataWeatha]

Man Robert too busy!😭😭😭nah one day I want the entire Dinner Party on the pod

[@ceelothatmane9421]

@@SweataWeatha mane that would be GOATED. That’s more my speed in the contemporary RnB realm. Mane. Robert love talking bout himself. Im sure he could fund some time when he in NYC

Oh it def resonates fr 😂

[@sven6999]

Lifechaining is hilarious 😂

[@donnydarko7624]

Congratulations on switching to a real DAW LJ!!!!!!

[@Taariq_Rashaad]

Lets Go!

[@zantilla]

Something to consider: realistically, if you had Chris Brown on the pod, that might not go so hot for you, because even if you don't get into the personal stuff, having him on the pod is going to insinuating to some people that you're able to turn a bilnd eye to his controversies. Just something to think about. Hope to see some cool artists on the pod tho

[@TJenga]

Side chain with a gate. I thought about that

[@flowsentheone1]

Whats the producers name talked about at 33:20 ? Would love to see his content

[@sooesoss6063]

MJ and STEVEY WONDER ARE RELATED/ FAMILY MEMBERS

[@matroEnt]

Would never catch a Logic user switching up like that

[@Treyvar426]

Tyler the creator would be another good one to have on he always talkin about his process

[@forbiddenriddimz]

The grocery bag bar doesn’t have the stutter from memory

[@tesfadennis9570]

Tell LJ he can call it “live chain mixing”….. all I ask is for my 5%, that’s it

[@RMRsavvy]

“Live-Chaining!” “… Aight, we gon work on your marketing” 💀💀

[@blasegangbeats1865]

That’s career saving 23:17

[@jrm_music7229]

All I do is put a fruity compressor , set it on master 1 setting , and a soft clipper on the master just after the mixdown 😂

[@user-tg2cw1un6i]

I have the biggest challenge for you yet. Mix vocals like Montell fish

[@pierrefontaine5684]

Problem would be cool

[@DrOtumbo]

So devvon is the big bro in the gang ? Courtney and Lj same age?

[@swishavsop2279]

yal should invite Troy Taylor to the couch 💯
