KSHMR on Ghost Producing, from Pop To EDM, Hit Song vs Sample Pack, Career Advice, Hidden Talent #20

[@KSHMRmusic]

Thanks for tuning in guys and thx to the boys for a great interview. Pt 2 coming where I open some sessions!

[@Mr.TeETH78]

Thanks for all the great music and inspiration!

[@MikeyGlazer]

The algorithm knows us well. Showed us this first, 2 hours after posting. Maybe it is our monthly viewings of the Ultra 2022 Live Set w Orchestra, end to end?

[@elosbeatz5899]

Can't wait ! :D

[@dannylin9522]

this is my first time watching you instead of seeing your name on splice or spotify lol. it’s reassuring knowing that even the greats of dance music have had imposter syndrome or love using presets

[@oz1836]

Thanks for all you've done for EDM, big room and the sample packs man! I can't describe how much your samples helped me.

[@lonewolvpod]

OMG!!! You just brought another Legend!!! The man that ghost produced almost everyone in the House scene!!! Also, he was part of The Cataracs!

[@socialkidmusic]

Who did he ghost produce?

[@lonewolvpod]

@@socialkidmusic Quite a lot from the Big Room era artist & Progressive & Electro House, list is big from Spinnin Records to Revealed & others! The most notable song, DVBSS & Borgeous Tsunami track

[@AndrewChin-ck9uk]

​@@lonewolvpodremember marteen vorwerk? He did like epic, wakanda and bunch of other Dvlm

[@AndrewChin-ck9uk]

​@@socialkidmusiche did pyramids for DVBBS too

[@spaceinsects5113]

brothers these podcasts have completely changed my perspective on the bigger picture of music production, it's truly incredible, thank you

[@WinterVibrations]

37:50 - this is why it’s important to set aside days for creating presets and build a library of your own. That way you can sift through presets during production time instead of interrupting the creative process by trying to design a sound from scratch.

[@Lance_G]

Huge thanks to all of you for putting this interview together! KSHMR samples were a huge boost for me and really pivotal in me pushing my own sound and having more confidence in producing 🙌🔥

[@bubz4196]

best episode so far imo. Have a lot of the same philosophies about production

[@driiver4199]

Gosh dang I’m so proud of you boys

[@DanLaDue]

seconded

[@sandygroove]

OMG! Thank you guys for bringing such a legend here on the podcast. KSHMR always will stay in my heart 🙌

[@DavidCorbinCodes]

Def agree what Nile said about Devault being an awesome producer. Would love to see him on the pod

[@medusa_lives]

Is KSHMR the suavest most james-bond like nerd to ever exist?? What an inspiration!!!!!

[@NezNen]

What a great insight. You guys are getting all the guys I grew up listening to as inspiration. Criminally underrated podcast. XLNT to the moon!

[@shibuyajin_music]

[@Unders]

Ponders if its stolen, uses anyway.

[@EdsMusic]

Thank you XLNT Sound for making this podcast happen! thanks for doing things for the producer community : )

[@elexbeats]

Every producer needs to be friends with each other. Sharing the passion and getting over excited like kids about stupid sounds makes me feel like I found the right community. Keep it up because you’re influencing a lot of people.

[@Itsvocalsss]

You guys are absolutely killing it! This gives our channel so much hope when you guys talk about the tutorials around 33 mins! 🖤💜

[@prettyhairypotter]

Great episode guys! Can't wait to see KSHMRs projects next 🙏

[@-Maiki]

Thanks for this podcast, can't believe I only now stumbled upon you guys and I'm so happy to get to know KSHMR! Learned so much and enjoyed every second of it. Almost all those songs he named here had such a big impact for my own music production and what I liked to party to in my early 20's ❤ those were the days.

[@lifeslashline]

Incredible interview from top to bottom, keep it up boys & thank you Niles!

[@befmi8]

I’m so glad you guys are making this a thing now🔥 keep these episodes coming🎉🎉

[@JuanPerez-xc1lc]

You guys are really contributing to the reason that music will be better in the future for all current producers

[@tempskibeats]

Great interview

[@Ekalavya_]

After Skrillex, KSHMR is the best producer I've seen till date. The precision in his song arrangement is top notch. Started listening to his songs from Burn, Megalodon, Leviathan, Tsunami, Sweat remix..etc. Love you boss!

[@prodbygraves]

Kshmr is the producer I appreciate and respect the most, I'm glad to see you in a meeting with these crazy people from XLNT 😤😤👊👊🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@whoisdannykane]

This the peak of production rn. Production genius

[@Alfred_English]

wow the Hyper Crush mention is insane. I remember them from the Myspace bloghouse era. Yall just brought me back to my roots

[@Projektor_music]

I love that you guys spend a bit of time talking about what makes a good tutorial!

[@hiddenpersonalities]

Great episode guys, a lot of insight on his career! Just wanted to mention that Martin Garrix actually stole the kick in Animals from Joyenergizer by Sander Van Doorn!

[@FroogleAndy]

Cheers boys this is huge

[@ORDJ2020]

I haven't watch all the video but I already know that this is a gem !

[@d.p.8418]

Thank you, guys, for such an amazing podcast!!! Please call Arty for one of next ones maybe!!!

[@brandonabbott4739]

Incredible pod guys and kshmr is definitely someone I’m always learning from when it comes to production

[@chejoseofficialTV]

Great podcast, love the quote about going back learn and be the student.

[@teddymarquee]

The Beatles chord in the beginning of hard days night is often referred to as a Gsus4 Now I usually have a gripe with sus4 because a Gsus4 is the same notes as a Csus2. Some would say well what note is the bass playing to identify the chord. As much as I lay king chord by root of bass I must say not every style of music arrangers the bass as a root. So I personally would call it a Csus2. But I also love that the Beatles didn’t know in the moment and neither should we. I’m curious to hear anyone else’s philosophy on mine but at the end of the day “does it sound good” is the answer Im so hyped in this podcast!! 10 years ago now I had just graduated ICON Collective and I was still hanging around the school and I saw KSHMR was going to be doing a Q&A and I wasn’t allowed in because I was a graduate. So I literally stood outside and watched through the window just trying to catch a glimpse and read his lips. This is so full circle for me and I’m just gonna say I was pretty pissed icon didn’t let me in after spending all that money just because I was a graduate. So thanks XLNT 10 years later I finally get to attend the Q&A.

What a great interview.

[@MORRILL_MUSIC]

I love how back in 2013 im strugging to figure how to make big room kicks while the songs im listening to just sampled the kick from another song LOL. Sampling kicks is the key, MEGALODON is such a good song.

[@jordanrattanavong2655]

Anyone know the program he wasn’t talking about that will normalize all your samples to the same volume? Is it platinum notes by captain plugins?

[@br3nn3n]

Could not have had a better guest honestly! Hearing KSHMR say he is a preset guy really made me feel better about myself for not making every sound from scratch 😅

[@cherrycherry7452]

Hi, I have a question. What program do I need to run your plugins? Do they work with Albeton and Fl Studio?

[@Ray_Harris]

All or most plugins should be able to work on any program/D.A.W. As long as you install it in the correct directory.

drop 2nd part pls

[@KAIJUCHOMPS]

I wanna make a small correction regarding the Martin Garrix "Animals" kick mentioned at around 18:00. The kick was not taken from Cannonball, rather it was taken from "Joyenergizer" by Sander Van Doorn, and specifically it was just the low-end that was sampled. Layered up with a highpassed top kick, and thats how the kick was made :) Does sound similar to the Cannonball kick i'll grant you, but its so much the Joyenergizer kick it phase cancels haha
