The music really enhances your vlogs Ben, you're really good at weaving them into the vlogs. If you can get licensing time, definitely include music especially when you do stuff like mountain biking and other cool stuff like that. :)
The fact that you're showing us the behind the scenes of this project is more than we can ask for. If I had a project like that i probably would have stopped doing everything else. Music or no music i love your videos!
I miss you when you don't post, your videos are the highlight of my day, but I mean that in a nice way, I get that your super busy and can't always upload, but just to let you know how much I love and appreciate you and your videos!
***** ....Yes keep the dislike button which I use when the vlogger has strayed or getting lazy or copies another vlogger or does something really rude .... then I tell them why they got a thumbs down (keeps them honest) but Ben is not in that category :)
I Love this community of brownies. So supportive and understanding. I heart you Ben. You continue to be an inspiration to me. Hopefully one day I will build the courage to do what you do.
For those of you who say its not that hard just to add music, Try filming for the day, editing it and adding music as well as Ben does, its not as easy as you think.
Looking forward to more footage of the General. He seems like such a great character and fairly comfortable on camera. You must have awesome chats with him.
Why do people dislike the video? Ben is such a nice guy and produces amazing content, what is there to dislike? If they don't like him or what he does, why do they come back to every video? Kind of sad really...
I didn't even notice the missing background music. And since I know that now, I could go either way with it. Keep up the awesome work man, you're such an inspiration!
Your videos are just well filmed and such nice content. Ive always loved photograohy and filming and ever since ive watched your videos, the quality of my pictures has gone up. Guess im getting into the ben brown mind frame xxxx
I told a viewer yesterday that with music it took twice as long to upload. My dumb! Of course, coordinating the music with the action, etc., means the editing takes twice as long. I agree ambient sound is often better. Beginning to feel overwhelmed by the poshness of Monte Carlo. Lewis had just one beer? Suspect that's because tomorrow he's swimming 10 km = 6.2 miles in open water (the Mediterranean Sea). ㋡ You've done a brilliant job of building the story. Prince Albert is going to meet Lewis when he swims ashore. I'm starting to feel nervous. Hope everything goes well! You're such a good photographer, even underwater!
***** you are awesome. Your such an inspiration. When you were in Canada all I wanted to do was explore nature, your vlogs are cool man I really enjoy them :-)
To be honest, I hadn't even noticed no music in the background. I can only speak for myself, but I'm here to watch you and your adventures, not listen to a soundtrack! The music is great, but I agree, it's more real without it! :) For a moment I thought the General was going to drop his towel to reveal him wearing lollie bags!! lol ;)
sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Daniel Mario I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I really enjoyed this video ben, I absolutely love Monaco, I visit every summer with work, as I work on the big yachts doing service work I get the opportunity to be there for a few months during the summer. It looks like you had a great time.
Ben you should not worry about the blogs, we understand completely. You shouldn't let editing get in the way, you have this huge opportunity to document the seven swims. I would put all my time and efforts to filming, and then IF I have time I'll edit the blogs, I could always post the vids later on.
You have got me liking so many different types of music, i end up shazaming all the songs you use, that's one thing i like about your vlogs! but obviously understand you are doing lots of extra filming so its a lot more work! Monaco looks ace too :)
This was a really great vlog! You seem so comfortable and somehow more confident and it translates very well into a perfectly balanced video... Informational, entertaining, interesting, even suspenseful! I actually prefer the live sounds to the music filler. I'm really looking forward to the Seven Swims films.
Oh Ben, you don't need to worry about us or if we like your vlogs with or without background music... You already make us happy with all that beautiful content you upload every day alright? (:
Love seeing your vlogs it's insane to think that you were here in Calgary just a lil bit ago and now your in Monaco ! Your a great inspiration did you ever think you would be doing something like this?
I do love the music you put into the vlogs, and I tend to always go to SoundCloud to buy it after watching your videos. Do focus on the 7 swims, but do come back to the music; you really have a good selection! :)
in dont mind the vlogs with or without music, but the music and your edit make your vlog unique an is one of my favourite features of the vlogs.... so do it if you can! :)
Ben, do you!! If taking music out of the vlogs saves you so much time then do it! You're clearly a busy guy lately and pressed for time, I like the music but I also like your perspective of it feels more real. Great work as always x
I was lucky enough to go to Monaco 2 years ago with my family on a Europe road trip, it's honestly the most break taking place because the city is nestled perfectly in the mountains, with the sea on the other side. The cars you see there are incredible too, I actually saw a Bugatti veyron (don't attack me for the spelling - I have no idea!) it's probably one of my favourite places in the world and I wish I was rich enough to live there!x
Hey bro i didnt even notice there was no music so dont even sweat it. The music is nice when you walking around and not talking either way your vlogs are great! :)
ben, just use music when u want to use music. as long as the edits are crips (which they always are), u have nothing to worry about. i'm glad u took the time to explain it to everyone. Just keep doing ur thing!
My entire world came crumbling down when you told us you don't have background music in your life.........like this whole thing has been a lie! Some cool underwater shots, and that was just the fun swim, can't wait to see some of the actual swim footage. Great work
Hey Ben! i've wanted to ask u this a long time ago, but what does the star tattoo mean on your chest ? thank you for the great content u put up evryday ! :)
Another beautiful vlog, Ben :) I prefer vlogs without music, quite like the noises in the background. And i just saw that you are going to Croatia (where i live), so have fun! :D
I haven't even noticed the none music in the background, sorry if that's a bad thing as I know you work mega hard on putting out your videos! Do what works best for you 😃👍
2:14, THAT DROP!!!! Love your videos Ben, they're always edited so well :)

Not a single dislike as of yet, what an amazing community you have Ben
***** One word... Friday :-p

Totally understand about the work on the 7 films vs the vlogs ! Not a problem!!!
I wish I could follow Ben around everywhere, all these adventures looks too inviting! :)
I hope he comes back to South Africa soon.
He is
You're the only daily vlogger I watch who talks about their camera equipment, I love that, it's so interesting
I'm actually really enjoying the no music in the vlogs. it's a nice change, and the content is still as good as ever.
Looking forward to more footage of the General. He seems like such a great character and fairly comfortable on camera. You must have awesome chats with him.
Ooh la la! Good luck to Lewis on his first 10k swim! Beautiful Monaco. Love it.

hey ben, have you ever thought about doing a more in depth video of all your camera gear,bags, backpacks..etc?
***** ^
yep that could be cool +Mr Ben Brown

Signature MrBenBrown's dry sense of humor at 05:55: "Buy six months, get six months free" @ yacht club de Monaco ... that's a good deal! :)
'i don't know if you guys noticed, but i don't have background music in my life' ahahah. Ben thanks for all your hard work, we APPRECIATE it!!
Honestly I didn't notice that you weren't using music.
OK good :D x
***** you are awesome. Your such an inspiration. When you were in Canada all I wanted to do was explore nature, your vlogs are cool man I really enjoy them :-)
Yeah I honestly didn't either.. sometimes I actually prefer no music. Whatever is easier on Ben :)
I did notice and kind of liked it. Could hear whats happening around him and stuff. Makes it a bit cleaner :)
Yay over 200,000 subs. Sweet! I remember back when you have 40,000....your videos have gotten sooo intimidate and genuine, you rock!
To be honest, I hadn't even noticed no music in the background. I can only speak for myself, but I'm here to watch you and your adventures, not listen to a soundtrack! The music is great, but I agree, it's more real without it! :) For a moment I thought the General was going to drop his towel to reveal him wearing lollie bags!! lol ;)
Love your vlogs watched them daily for a year now
Yes freediving, great sport and every time you do it there is sick footage!
You inspire me to travel and have adventures Ben!:)
sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Callen Cory Instablaster :)
@Daniel Mario I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now.

@Daniel Mario It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
@Callen Cory happy to help :)
Nice GoPro footage in the beautiful waters of Monaco. Gotta Love Monaco! Gotta Love GoPro!!
I really enjoyed this video ben, I absolutely love Monaco, I visit every summer with work, as I work on the big yachts doing service work I get the opportunity to be there for a few months during the summer. It looks like you had a great time.

YES BEN! LOVE YOU FOR GOING OUT UR WAY FOR THE MUSIC TODAY!
Honestly Ben, don't worry about not having music in your vlogs, myself and the majority of people watching your videos don't mind at all.
Amazing footage :) Are we going to see the final video on your channel?
las escenas en el mar wow sin palabras .. muy lindo blog .. loving this blog ben
This was a really great vlog! You seem so comfortable and somehow more confident and it translates very well into a perfectly balanced video... Informational, entertaining, interesting, even suspenseful! I actually prefer the live sounds to the music filler. I'm really looking forward to the Seven Swims films.
Actually, I've been enjoying the non-music vibes. Makes it feel as if I'm right there as it's all happening. Great job as always on the videos, Ben!
We understand. Do your best! Your vlogs are great with or without music.
Oh Ben, you don't need to worry about us or if we like your vlogs with or without background music... You already make us happy with all that beautiful content you upload every day alright? (:
Thumbnail looks amazing!
Another amazing vlog Ben ❤️ come to Italy 😍 i'd love to see youu!
I can't wait until it's summer in New Zealand, then I can go swimming with my GoPro! Loving your footage Ben!
Love seeing your vlogs it's insane to think that you were here in Calgary just a lil bit ago and now your in Monaco ! Your a great inspiration did you ever think you would be doing something like this?
I do love the music you put into the vlogs, and I tend to always go to SoundCloud to buy it after watching your videos. Do focus on the 7 swims, but do come back to the music; you really have a good selection! :)
I completely understand! definitely keep your attention on the 7 films! can't wait to see the end results!! :)
Seriously Ben I love all of your vlogs. They are amazing. Keep up the really awesome work 😄👍 I also love how yo reply to people.
in dont mind the vlogs with or without music, but the music and your edit make your vlog unique an is one of my favourite features of the vlogs.... so do it if you can! :)
Loving the GoPro vibes bro!
The general is my favorite on this trip! He is so dry, he's hilarious!
Ben is the only person i´ve ever seen whose hair looks exactly the same underwater
waterproof hair gel :)
Haha :)
Epic vlog Ben, you are a true inspiration to me, keep up the good work man.
Ben, do you!! If taking music out of the vlogs saves you so much time then do it! You're clearly a busy guy lately and pressed for time, I like the music but I also like your perspective of it feels more real. Great work as always x
WOW ! Your filming kit is CRAZY man :) Love it !
I wish I had more entertaining things to film. Your life is gold for TH-cam!
Are the seven swims videos going to be published on your youtube channel or in some other format? Such as DVDs or something.
I seriously love the content u put out
This needs more views
Does it cost money to simply breath in Monaco as well? Looks like an amazing place
Loving the camera gear Ben!! Mash out these films!
Another great video! Thanks for all your hard work.
Makes me laugh so much when he says "Allllrightttt" hahaha

I'm in Nice atm! But I don't think I'll be in Monaco until Monday 😭 It would have been nice to meet you 😀
Hey bro i didnt even notice there was no music so dont even sweat it. The music is nice when you walking around and not talking either way your vlogs are great! :)
Enjoy yourself Ben! Don't work too hard! X
Thank you for being such a inspiration Ben , I finally had the balls to sign up for my dream photography course (:
Honestly I don't even notice when you don't use music lol I guess your vlog is just that good ;)
ben, just use music when u want to use music. as long as the edits are crips (which they always are), u have nothing to worry about. i'm glad u took the time to explain it to everyone. Just keep doing ur thing!

Everything in Monaco seriously motivates me!!
The General is so entertaining haha. Love the videos, Ben!
Really good content lately with the Canada trip and this. :)
I find that it fills in the quiet parts and adds more depth to the whole sound
Hey Ben, quick question. When you're finished with filming Lewis swimming. Where could we find the film? Thanks :^)
Music not needed as the beautiful visuals speak for themselves. It's like a virtual vacation
Hey Ben! i've wanted to ask u this a long time ago, but what does the star tattoo mean on your chest ? thank you for the great content u put up evryday ! :)
Another beautiful vlog, Ben :) I prefer vlogs without music, quite like the noises in the background. And i just saw that you are going to Croatia (where i live), so have fun! :D
THANK YOU for the no music. I absolutely LOVE IT! Applause.
Yes Ben! Loving the VLOGS!
Amazing vlog like always
Your vids make my day man !
Ben , is the music you use royalty free, just wondering ;)
Try looking at CIRC on sound cloud for some good background music!!
Could someone explain why he's is Monaco and who are the people he's with? I've missed the past few vlogs because of work. Loved the video Ben
GPS voice - Go left then go left on the round about!! 😂
Are you going to do visual vibes Monaco? (Please do. I love visual vibes so much!)
I understand Ben, it's good that you focus on the documentary!
I like the music you are using. I thought something was wrong with my PC, because I could hear the tunes.
"No music, No life" Great Work Ben..
You have such an awesome taste in music
Anyone know what earphones Ben uses. Sounds odd but I remember seeing them in a vlog once.
In ear ones - Nocs, big ones - Bose.
Thank you Ben and axelle, I've been watching for a long time Ben, love the videos :)
Love your vids! Keep em up!
Please could you use Stay Hight Remix on some of your Vlogs! It would be amazing if you did. It suits your music style if that makes any sense...
Hey Ben are you shooting this expedition as your job? As in, is Lewis paying you to film and photograph it all? If so, that's awesome!
I haven't even noticed the none music in the background, sorry if that's a bad thing as I know you work mega hard on putting out your videos! Do what works best for you 😃👍
do you use your 24-70mm for all your landscape shots?
finally the music is back!!!!!
What store can I get your hair product? (I live in the US) and what do you ask for when you get your haircut?
its so awesome..i've been on the exact same place just a few weeks ago!
Love Gerald 😄😄
*the General :)
***** i love sassy ben
Love your videos!
Love Monaco!
I like hearing the natural background noise :)
