Weaver you seem like a cool guy and all but sometimes I feel you're just needlessly critical about other people's work. This guy knows his shit and makes really good and entertaining content. You just pick holes in it. And end of the day it's ALL just opinion... But in this case at least, his is a qualified opinion while it's hard for me not to think that you're just throwing stones. Sorry man but be real... This guy makes great content and is getting the deserved views. You said yourself... The video blew up. And rightly so. It was really interesting and well made. Maybe you should give it a go?
This was well said I agree Weaver is a really likable guy and knows what he's speaking on usually but sometimes I feel like he'll have an opinion just to be consistently engaged with the content he reacts to so there isn't too much down time.
Like I just saw the part where he asks why we need to know all of this, and asked myself "why wouldn't he want to know this?".
I don’t know. I’ve been watching Weaver for a lil while and it doesn’t seem any more negative than say a plug-in police video? Now I agree, this guy does know his shit, and also makes really cool and entertaining videos, but both videos cover both views and opinions. But either way I personally feel like both opinions are valid. The vibe I’ve always gotten from weavers videos, especially his second channel videos, was stern but fair. Pointing out what he may feel is a flaw in said content. This video in particular they both just end up having a “personal preference” anyway. And neither opinion is “wrong” either. I could say making music using both digital and analog is the best way to make music, that wouldn’t necessarily be wrong. Like was mentioned by Weavers chat, it really comes down to personal preference. Being critical and poking holes at things is how people grow, and it didn’t seem like weaver was being “overly critical” anyway. Idk im just curious as to your thought view, since I’ve been seeing more and more of these comments on his videos and personally dont really see much of a difference? Maybe I haven’t been around long enough to know the difference.
That someone knows their shit doesn’t mean they are right all the time. And yes music is subjective and a lot is opinions, we are allowed to have any opinion, there are 8.2 billion people with opinions 😂
yeah he hates too much sometimes. it's entertaining to watch weaver but sometimes he annoys me to the point where i just talk back to the vid lmao
This guy's coming from a Performing, Recording Artist's perspective as he put it, so authenticity, happy accidents, all good stuff cause of the audience, the active listeners fuel his passion.
Metal plays do multiple takes. he's playing soft rock. ez stuff to play is why.. a good lead solo sometimes can take one take.. or sometimes it can take all day, depending on what kinda day the player is having..
Yeah, it's "crazy" that a producer/engineer with decades of experience and some nuanced opinions could pass you.
Lol…..this Weaver guy is a ool
I recorded fully digital for over a decade and just switched to tape and i totally get what that dude is saying. Yes you have to practice more but you dont put your full energy into practicing. Once you hit the record button it just clicks in your brain to give it your all when recording on tape. Plus it sounds so much different than digital. Its not harsh sounding at all and just sounds "bigger" and requires a lot less mixing, espically on instruments with a lot of high end.
Watching him load his tape onto the reel was like watching someone load a Musket Rifle.... 🤣
fckng funny coment
That's actually hilarious!
I'm looking at two reel-to-reel machines right now, but I Definitely can see a new jack feeling that way.
Definitely better than Biato, this guy is the nerd for real.
I believe it's pronounced BEAT-O
@@theartistcurrentlyknownaszero If he only accepted where we are in time he would yes xD
13:05 "try that with a computer and a hard drive."
I knew exactly what his point was going to be before even watching the video. Yes, analog (tape) means you better have your sound ready to go and there aren't going to be many, if any, do-overs. The title wasn't clickbait at all.
I was watching this waiting for the weaver reaction😭
Weaver you gotta chill my dude😂❤ I love your content but sometimes you criticize in a way were it’s difficult to know if your joking or not….😂 🤦🏽 trust the process
You dont lose the feeling with practice lol, you do when you re record parts to perfection tho.
Bros all are forgetting about the cloud option (no backups needed projects are accessable from almost everywhere). The video feels more about the medium instead of why it should be better 😂
There is no cloud, just someone else’s computer
@@Po-BoyFresh thats true bro but i rather rely on the computer from Google Microsoft etc than on my own as a backup atleast 😅
You’d rather rely on someone else to keep track of your stuff…. that’s whack
@@ghfjfghjasdfasdf However if you reading correctly: at least as a backup. Its not about keeping track its about redundancy.... I think those huge companys are capable of a better back up schedule + solution than any private person if you want to tell me something else its cap 😂
Cloud save fixed my fucking life (from the early 2000s).
16:58 what is his mouse sensitivity to be using that monstrous mouse in such small area
Back in my day, we had a bucket for drums, a flute we stole from school and 1 take on my nokia flip phone, me and my brothers would jam all night on those, there was no undos, YARRRR
I love this dudes content. Twas unique. Been a while an old schooler such
He reminds me of that „dolololo“ guy that interviews every popular rapper 😂
practicing the same thing over and over again will make it hard to play it with feeling but it doesn't matter because you're practicing and it doesn't matter how it sounds while you're practicing. When that happens when you're recording it matters because you're recording. If it's your home studio it's not a big deal you can just come back fresh tomorrow, problem arises when there's a production schedule and a part has to be done now and you're sucking over and over. It's not a computer problem, if he thinks analog fixes it it's the placebo effect but placebos are awesome, so good for him.
I recently took a break from smoking weed, but maybe indirectly the “mini-breaks” argument might shed light on why people think they are “more creative” when high. It could be more of a workflow enhancement, that adds more space and breaks to the music making process which this guy seems to be arguing is actually more efficient and effective. I do add lots of little breaks when I’m producing / recording so I can better listen to what I’m creating
Not losing the feeling is on the performer, to be a professional former, and to channel that feeling when it matters. That can be totally independent of the format.
He never mentioned digital multitrack tape with the same workflow but digitally recorded, I had a Sony 24-track, which was a fantastic move up from my 1" 16-track Tascam.
Thumbs up for Home Movies reference. Duane's solo gets stuck in my head every other day
When are you going to do something?
16:20 I guess sometimes we overestimate ourselves when we use the argument that we could do our best take regardless the method.
Sure, ideally... But when all the cultural environment (producers, other artists, recording engineers) pushes people towards being more lenient and easygoing with that, are we really in the right setup? Can we compromise the same way as an one take analog recording? Maybe some do, but the state of mind of giving your best in one take it's the ONLY option in analog and this forces everyone to face the materiality of things at that given moment.
Also, analogs recording make people deal with their flaws directly 🙃🙃no one needs to be perfect all the time, neither our music idols were in their recordings...
both solid shows did you watch the final movie?
Bake me I’m sticky 😮
Playing whuit analog is like playing an intrument.. In the box is efficent sometimes... but at the end the result is whats important. I still have my casette tape demos from the 90'...some of my work in the box got lost.
A flood could ruin the tape, a cd can if I remember can be submerged in water, dried and then will still play just fine.
And a brown out, power surge can destroy a hard drive.
I started digital only, vsts and daw. But, once i got my hand on analog reel to reel machines, it did introduce some extra fun in the orocess, but more i use analog gear, more i praise my vsts!! It's good to have analog gear as an option, but god forbid if that's all is available.
there's always gonna be recording techniques that you can only achieve with an actual reel-to-reel tbf
But imagine you have endless undo, plug ins, mic modeling etc.and your music still sounds like sh*t. Im sure theres guys in here on whatever daw whose music doesn't come close to his 40 year old reel, if were being honest. Also his point is you have to be more prepared day one and not assume "you can fix it in the mix" because you can punch endlessly and unlimited takes. Laziness is a big part of this discussion form another angle.
If anybody wants to hear modern album recorded on tape with full analog recording/mixing/mastering process listen to SUNN O))) - LIFE METAL and PYROCLASTS
I have the vinyl which was pressed straight from tape and its crazy what they did
the worry about tape noise is silly. just cut it out and fade the cuts.
or just leave it in since you literally don't notice it lol
But if you record guitar to tape, then all your drums, then vocals and keys. On its own the tape noise isnt much, but stacked from using it on everything, the tape noise becomes louder and louder, everytime you have to rerecord the song to another tape it gets worse and worse.
@giltedgeorgeExactly. You'd think people would realise this but seems to be a lack of logic lol
@giltedgeorge which is why you gotta record that shit HOT baby!
also, light compression right up front to get a better S/N ratio, whether it's digital or analog is another one of those techniques that we owe to the tape days that has just sort of become "the sound" of a good record.. having a couple of passes through a compressor at different stages of recording before you do the final bounce just tends to sound more "professional" when done right.
Home Movies is free on TH-cam. Same with Dr. Katz if you're an H. Jon Benjamin fan.
Also, yeah, I have this same opinion about all digital media in that when you're always hovering over CTRL+Z, you're losing the rawness of the creation.
I think it's far better to leave in all the mistakes then correct over them as one would in the analog world. You can do it digitally, but you have to think like an analog artist to do it instinctively. Otherwise, CTRL+Z all day.
FINE ILL BUY A REAL TAPE MACHINE
Its true when its all analogue its obly one take one mix so you put more thought and energy in to it. But analogue is very expenssive
I hate the analog argument, I’m 39 and it just feels different , feels like your doing more , probably because you are lol , but I’d rather work fast and get shit done
you know he's rick beato's bff right? they worked in the same studio together for years
I can't take seriously anyone who claims that analogue equipment is reliable and never needs you to keep replacing parts...
Somewhat interesting point he made about the equipment we have now changing us for the worse. Not the most unique pov but as an individual its something you might want to be aware of.. point kinda got lost in weaver nitpicking and cynicism so i thought i reiterate.
End of the day no one cares unless the song is good 👍🏻
Mmm started out on digital then tape then back to digital. Tape absolutely sounds better! Brought friends and gfs to studio and every single person said tape sounds better in blind test. To get an amazing sound on tape is easier and digital you have to learn how to get a good sound.
Music was just better before any kind of audio recording technology...I just can't prove it
Been to a few recording studios back in the day. Normal musicians come prepared and practiced do a few takes and you are gone if all the kit is working. Sure its cool to record on tape. Ideally you want to record and publish in real time. That was called radio.
Engineers have pulled that off for several decades. Live television broadcasts with live bands took more coordination and man power but it worked consistently near light speed
Instead of a comment board they have a raft of telephones manned by humans taking comments and opinions and so on.
What are we talking about again?😂
weaver beats what lame name, a grown man.The dj khalid of criticism
He’s a tool
sir this is weaver beats 2, who tf is weaver beats
His argument isn't for tape its for a workflow. The attachment to tape is deluding his perspective, ironic.
trying real hard to hate. mans doesn't say anything inflammatory lol
Where’s the hate? He likes him lol
This guy is such a hater I dunno why this guy who knows nothing about recording comes up on my feed smh
He’s a douche
Tape catches energy of the room. A daw just makes it easier to save to a hard drive. Tape holds true to a physical form of music, while a daw gives you a safe way to bounce or to send a song into the collective consciousness of music today. Older music sounds better because people cared about the art of writing a song and story telling, while todays music is just quick moment that is digestible to radio, instead of throwing a wrench into what we know as music.
Gear nerds will be gearing up for nerds though 🤷🫡
"Tape holds true to a physical form of music" talking nonsense, what's a physical form of music, because most would say it's a live band. Tape and mp3 are just different ways of saving and reproducing sound, you're just nostalgic for something that at the time people were probably slating as "not as good as the previous thing". I can tell you're old and out of touch, because moaning about the radio ruining music, is old. No one listens to the radio, nowadays we moan about tiktok ruining music. This idea you have of music being gospel and that old music wasn't stained with cheap, money grabs like it is nowadays is so far off. I can remember every celebrity and his dog had a pop song in the 90s.
put it to rest old man, neither is better than the other
@carryoncoldsays the idiot that never used tape.
weaver your constant pausing, negativity and short attention span is super annoying had to stop watching your video and watch the original
he has to because of copyright
You should watch the original unless you want to hear his commentary on it.
He usually doesn't play the whole video either, unless hes on stream.
All those who defend the analogical have many similarities with those who worship some religion.
In the end, working with analog is a liturgy with which you can feel more 'in tune', but if you are looking for efficiency and top precision, there is nothing like digital.
I agree with most things he’s saying. Except for the point about analog tape being better because hard drives keep dying. The reason for hard drives (and many other types of technology) failing, all comes down to one thing: planned obsolescence
There is also the added cost of buying new tape for every new production (unless you're doing demos?) so you will have to keep buying new tape. Maybe?
I recommend finding the video with just the professional engineer and without this "piggyback" commentator. I saw that 2 weeks ago. The guy with the headphones and the mike doesn't add anything, and it's just a cheap way to make a video piggybacking from someone else's work.
he could've been rolling forward all his digital media this whole time and still be able to access it. it ain't like tape where there is one source copy and everything else takes a generation hit. you can have as many copies as you want and they all have the same data. multitrack broadcast WAV files are the closest analog(!) to multitrack tape, and I guarantee those are going to be able to be opened by DAW software for centuries to come if not millenia. nobody's making multitrack analog decks anymore, but we can emulate old computers with incredibly high fidelity.
bitching about all the digital accouterments and having to "upgrade" every three years seems to miss the point that you can carry and convert your old projects forward. maybe you have to print some effects to a new track because a plugin can't be installed on the new DAW, but that flexibility doesn't exist on tape at all.
16:58 stop updating your DAW and get it completely offline. complaining about upgrades is begging the question, assuming you have to upgrade in the first place.
Hi
Yeah, lots of good points - and the sound is a big deal - but now make modern dance music on tape.
Who gives a shit about modern dance music? Less than 4% of music…nobody cares..
You're making videos about other people's videos.
yeah he is going to surpass you.. he is making high producing videos.. you are reacting.. think about it.... he is in a real studio, you are in a greenscreen bedroom. not hating, but think about your longevity and make some better ORIGINAL content that really showcases you USING the plugins you talk so much about. oh and shout out to Home Movies, it is a deep cut indeed.
SUPERJAIL IS BETTER!!!!
