I like him because he isn't pretentious about his gear, or being lazy (his words). Nor does he attempt to overcomplicate things, which I feel a lot of producers do (and for several different reasons). Clearly a man secure in who he is and what he does. Kudos.
"It's dangerous to get lost in the whole technical side of making music instead of trying to focus on the melodies. That's something happening a lot today." Well said!
Agree. Relaxing to listen to someone who is realistic, comfy with them self, unpretentious. Pragmatic, logical attitude to presets. Very honest, refreshing. Joris sounds like a real person doing something he likes without being paranoid about what other people think. Interesting comment on, basically, “first idea/best idea”
Joris is a good guy - I interviewed him in 2006 for a Hong Kong music website prior to 'Future History' album and even recall back then he was very nice and unpretentious. I will have to admit that I still prefer his techno back then more so than his current tech-house or house direction he is pursuing but I respect his evolution as an artist. If anyone hasn't heard of his "Live at Tresor" Live PA he did with Alexander Kowalski (I think 2005 but not sure) it is worth a download and listen, some of his most amazing techno material there.
Joris makes a good point - what you hear at your studio is not the same as in the club and it's good to know how your studio sounds so you can adjust your sound properly to the right environment.
thanks Joris! everything you said abt gear and technology is very very significant and brings relief....we can go nuts trying to own the best gear and treating the studio ....
I have a lot of newer Techno tracks on vinyl. Most of them sound quite okay. However, you notice big difference if you listen to one of his tracks on Vinyl. Idk if his tracks are so well produced or mastered, but for example 'Joris Voorn - I ran the Zoo' or his Remix of 'Meng's Theme' sound so much purer and cleaner than anything I've heard before that it blows off my mind every single time.
lol, the same with me, especially as the whole room interior has no good design and the chair does stand out so much. its a design classic costing a lot of money. its an "eames ea 108"...
Enea Gjordeni In answer to your question he needs bass traps to tame the low frequencies. The room will have standing waves all over the place. Which will make errors in perception of the bass. For example the speakers are in a tri-corner which will cause a massive boost in bass. He probably found his mixes sounded light in a club, because the bass boost in the room with no treatment is misleading. Best bet would be move the speakers forward away from the wall. An ASC attack wall would help immensely. Employ lots of absorption and tuned absorbers. For example my home studio has an issue at 71hz based on the ceiling height and height of the monitors. Tuned resonator absorption allows you to counter act problem room modes.
My only issue with presets is how many of them seem so hard or limiting to work with... Seriously though, I love presets, they find sweet-spot combinations for you and then you can actually alter them at the source. Same goes for making my own presets, I've got a signature drum technique based on a preset filled mixer track that is itself a preset, there's still a lot of different ways I can quickly take it. I'm familiar with where I can take it too, so I feel in control and the workflow is amazing.
He's right, preset music is not bad. I mean, I often create my own sound from scratch. But we you have plugins like omnisphere, you can find sounds you cannot imagine. And that preset can help you create the beginning of your track, or the hook. The main idea is that something inspire you for making music. He's right, when you say "I will use a guitar, a piano, a flute, a sax, a brass"... It's juste a range of sounds, like presets.
He should change out that TL Audio mixer if he wants a ‘tighter ‘bass sound. That mixer has tubes it which could make things ‘too warm’ for his liking.
Not a big fan of his music, but he seems like he has a great personality and he's got alot of cool gear. His a great producer I'm not into that style though
Most acoustical treatment is way overrated - just a thing people learn from studying audio engineering and follow religiously, when it's really meant to be applied to designing clubs, opera houses, concert halls, and so on...
0:56 "you can get a very tight sound on the box; which is something that you need to work a little bit harder to get in the mixer" Could someones please explain that again for me? How can something be good in the box but muddy live? Is it the modern taste for heavy bass?
It's really just a matter of different listening environments and a different system. Most of us listen to music from our iphones, computers and occasionally our record players at home. A lot of people will mix in their room and then take it to the car to see how it translates, and a lot of people have more than one pair of monitors for this purpose as well. Even musicians who release music don't always have access to the listening environment that clubs have to double check if it will sound good in that environment which tend to really be bass heavy with a large capacity room, frequencies all over the place, and often not as good a system as the one producers have in their home studio. So the track, which sounded good on studio monitors, can really end up being a woolly mess.
it's also possible to EQ much more precisely using digital EQs --and you have the benefit of unlimited EQ points. This is an element of greater "control" you have in a DAW vs a mixer. (The danger is you can easily EQ out all the soul/grit/heart if you don't restrain yourself ;)
Just know your setup and reference your mixes to pro tracks and listen on different speakers and in the car etc etc.. Its all about knowing your setup and referencing and obviously having the skill and knowledge at mixing your music.

MrBoxingVideos agreed man
same here...
MrBoxingVideos couldn't agree more 👍
Beautifully said
MrBoxingVideos Totally agree, I like him.
What an awesome guy. It's refreshing to hear someone being open, honest, and modest like this.
"It's dangerous to get lost in the whole technical side of making music instead of trying to focus on the melodies. That's something happening a lot today." Well said!
trying to focus on melodies? ha-ha, very good joke. most probably on a bass drum
Don't let his modesty fool you, his productions are some of the cleanest, most beautiful, organic, and skillfully crafted around.
that's true, very good sounding producer

guys this series is just amazing! im soooooo addicted! love it keep up the great work!
This is what it's all about. He understands what's important - and what's not.

great artist, open and real
thanks Joris! everything you said abt gear and technology is very very significant and brings relief....we can go nuts trying to own the best gear and treating the studio ....
Joris is direct and on point, its all about the music!!!!
This guy sticks to his ears, I cannot blame him, these two are the greatest microphones ever.
His attitude and priorities and 100% spot on.

Honest and to the point. Enjoyed it.
what a great, and straight forward guy! very honest interview ! thanks for that !
Great and honest talk from an even greater artist. Totally right about the presets for example. "The guitar is the preset" - priceless. Keep going!
Joris voorn is such a dope producer, I love his tight clean sound but also love his more warm open sounding ambient tracks!
Could not agree more with everything you have said! First version more often than not sounds the best!
Nice interview. Very likable person. Agree with his opinion very much.
2020 and Omnisphere is still awesome.
truu
I know this video is about music but... I love that chair design!
lol, the same with me, especially as the whole room interior has no good design and the chair does stand out so much. its a design classic costing a lot of money. its an "eames ea 108"...
Great analogy about the presets. Makes sense
Best producer!!! Love Joris!!

What a nice guy. Awesome.
Track ID at 3'38'' or at 5'55''? Very warm base line. Awesome!
Todor Prikumov 5'55" Joris Voorn - I ran the Zoo (Analog Version)
Love how this guy thinks. So much like me. Presets all the way for me.
"guitars are a preset too". Good one 👍
He is not purist,but sure he is pure.Really down to earth guy,his tracks have artistic quallity in dance music scene, let alone techno-house fusion
anyone know ID of 3:42 ? sounds really deep :)
I've asked the same question, sick tune
what are the songs in the vid?

Few pieces of equipment but just the best !
Chris Liebing or Jochem Paap for the next Slice Tech Talk, maybe?
Yes speedy-j please!!!
Speedy J!
absolutely, Speedy J would be massive. Public Energy No.1 forever
What a humble guy!
Anyone knows what track is playing at 3:32
me too iam looking for the name, what a relax tune soo smooth.
we need this track
Darude - Sandstorm
Found it th-cam.com/video/xJWvl4C_NLw/w-d-xo.html
He should change out that TL Audio mixer if he wants a ‘tighter ‘bass sound. That mixer has tubes it which could make things ‘too warm’ for his liking.
Joris Delivers
This is a great series.
What is his analog mixer ?
it's a TL Audio M1 www.tlaudio.co.uk/docs/products/M1-F.shtml
Very cool setup
I like he honest about being lazy, and just because it was simpler doesn’t make it bad!!!!!
Why is the Prophet 6 not connected?! Thought it has no USB-audio, just for MIDI
TRACK NAME ON 3:30 PLZ
Darude - Sandstorm (Joris Voorn Remix)
appreciate the honesty. thanks.
A nice balanced approach, nice. Why is it so hard to understand for some people?
Not a big fan of his music, but he seems like he has a great personality and he's got alot of cool gear. His a great producer I'm not into that style though
Listen to Balance 014, it's one of the greatest DJ Albums of all time
great interview! gotta like this guy.
Holy shit, realy appreciated his honesty
These legends always have an acoustically untreated studio. I wanna know what their secret is
They know how to listen.
Most acoustical treatment is way overrated - just a thing people learn from studying audio engineering and follow religiously, when it's really meant to be applied to designing clubs, opera houses, concert halls, and so on...
What's the TR909 clone at 0:14?
Looks pretty custom
The most honesty
0:56 "you can get a very tight sound on the box; which is something that you need to work a little bit harder to get in the mixer"

joris dont use acustic on his studio?
the 1st one is always the best
Anyone know how he set up the TL Audio M1 mixer? Is he using it for tracking or OTB mixing?
Name of music?
what a good guy
This guy's modesty. Seems like an awesome producer.
Great video! What's the white box to the left of the mixer?
Some 909 clone, not sure by who.
This clone is the TR-9090
what means working in a box? it means using more SW DAW than hardware?
All in the computer, no external hardware
Dope Joris !!
typical dutch guy really down to earth :D
I've asked the same question , sick tune
Whats the name of his mixer?
So if these speakers sounds different from the biggest one at clubs what is the solution to catch the right frequency of the sound?
I think it comes down to mastering it
Just know your setup and reference your mixes to pro tracks and listen on different speakers and in the car etc etc..

What is that browser he is using here 2:23
AudioFinder for Mac
What loud speakers does he have in the background?
Barefoot Sound MicroMain27 Gen2
Ok, everybody here goes crazy about track on 03:42 ! Tell us this secret already!
Found it th-cam.com/video/xJWvl4C_NLw/w-d-xo.html
headphones?
Any other channels like electronic beats?
maybe dj techtools. they sometimes have "how i play" videos . but thats more dj related stuff mostly
we release new videos every week and have a huge archive so there's no need to go anywhere ;)
FutureMusic and Pointblank also have great videos
ok thank you!
EB offers some pretty solid formats on the web, but also you should check out Resident Advisor ;)
great chap!
what are his speakers?
Max Hasser Barefoots, your wallet isnt going to like them.
they are "only" around 10.000,- Euros. barefootsound.com
Thanks! I'll probably just buy them on impulse! ;)
enjoy ;-)
Barefoot MicroMain27 to be exact.
underrated guy
whats that mixer?
TL Audio M1, I think
Joris has some interesting concepts👁❤️
track @5:50 pls
BEISING Joris Voorn - I ran the Zoo (Analog Version)
@@pdudlinz thank you!
he's a bit stuck in the classic cluby music imo
What's his blue mixer?
breizh waren it’s a TL audio mixer
I will assume he isn't sending his tracks to be mastered. It may help with the issues he is having in the clubs.
Well said
He should sell his classic gear collection, at a fair price too. It makes sense if he has such a no-nonsense approach to making music.
Anyone know what mixer he’s using?
cool. thx
Very interesting part when he talks about his new speakers. Every producer meets the same problems i guess. As a producer I think a track will never sound perfect.
trying to hear your music with the ear of a first listener is a challenging task, most of us don't listen to music super intensely most of most time
too good..
what does he mean that he works in the box? does he mean his DAW?
exactly, ableton to be precise
@@lukaszbielewicz3101 ok, thank you!
what!? Joris and max verstappen voice its the same!? :thinking:
What speakers ?
Very cool interview! This guy talks sense :)
presets are all we need
nice to see another preset user :))) and another not mapping all midi knobs person :))
Genio
oscar mulero, len faki, maceo plex in the next episodes please
4:22 so true!!!
Micromain27 Amazing !!
Track that everybody has been looking for??
