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 ❤🔥🙏🏼
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.
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.
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🛡️
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.
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
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 🔥
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 💎
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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 !!
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
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
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 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 MY GOD the idea with the sidechained signal for live performances is INSAANE! This is the nerdy shit I love this podcast for 😂
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.

I’m screen recording that LJ Pro Tools user part! 😂😂
My boi LJ got caught lacking😅
Nah that was definitely Devvon 😂
Yall said it Tpain goes crazy. He's a legend for sure
Truly.
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 🔊😎
There’s people all over the world, you’ll find someone

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

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

I need Brandy and Leon Thomas on this show because I really need to know their process. Also D’MILE IS A MUST!!!!
Niggas sleep on Leon he’s crazzyyy bro play hella instruments too
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!
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.
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
You guys need to bring on artists…. AND their engineers!!!! That would be amazing.
The vocal side chain idea for live performances is 🔥🔥🔥
Loving how you guys are talking about the classic songwriting process. Tips n Tricks / Techniques 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn, i love that courtney perks up the last episodes. He feels much more confident. By the way, great record. Love you guys
you guys best!! thanx man sooooo much.
have yall done a episode on the best de-essers?
22:58 HMD Rosetta Live Chaining 👀👀👀🔊🔊🔊
Yo I have that episode with Simone saved... her process is sooo smooth!
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.
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!!
Masego and FKJ are *Ableton Live* OG's ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
My favorite podcast BY FAR!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
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
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
Would be INSANE
@@SweataWeatha Let’s make it happen bro.
Sent this to all my music friends. That’s so crazy. Live chain is kinda fire too
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.
Yo Courtney,spill the beans on the background vocals processing bro
An episode with MXXWLL would be fireeeeee tho
Y’all set up is Godly
I never comment, watch a ton. But “livechaining” is perfect
That was fire 🔥 , live chaining don’t sound bad
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
That live chaining idea is craaaaaaaaaazy
Can you put the TH-cam videos you referenced in the description? Want to check out those masego videos
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

Whats the producers name talked about at 33:20 ? Would love to see his content
The word LJ was looking for was captivating. Very captivating 😂
@11:02 anyone know her full artist name ?
Brandy Norwood
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.
Yea that "live-chain" idea is genius
He Wasn't Man Enough is one of the best sounding tracks ever. It's literally my top reference
Studio one is here
LJ is beyond genius 🌅 21:03
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
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?
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
Y’all should make that live chaining a plug-in 💯💯💯
“Live chaining” 🔥
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
About to head to LJ’s TH-cam page to see what audio interface he chose!!
If yall get Tpain, That episode would go Superviral!!!
For sure! 💯
12:03 late 2000's and early 2010's was FULL of stuters 😂
Y’all should interview Big Krit on his production/mixing/beat making…
Diamond member should get a segment on the pod!
Y'all should totally have T Pain! I think he'd be game!
Y’all need to get Russ for Courtney on this. He mixed, mastered, and produced his there’s a wolf album.
Jodeci backing vocals is French kiss “Xs we share and Cry For You”
I’m think the mastering classes are cool, what if I don’t have the same plugins that you use while teaching the class ?
Early gang gang 💪🏼💪🏼
2:04 That Sketch app must be 🔥
Upward compression would work for that live track
23:30 That idea is crazy
“Live-Chaininggg!”…..”Alright we’re gonna work on your marketing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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 !!
Melvin’s my bro! He’s 100% welcomed Man!
@@SweataWeatha get him on man 🔥
yoooo i aint know LJ had the vox like that ! lol hella unexpected
listening to your "old techniques" just made me travel back yoooo 🤣
LJ WALKS THE PLANK !
So devvon is the big bro in the gang ? Courtney and Lj same age?
Great video and get Timbaland for Ableton
Strong Island baby
Lifechaining is hilarious 😂
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
Oh it def resonates fr 😂
Congratulations on switching to a real DAW LJ!!!!!!
Tyler the creator would be another good one to have on he always talkin about his process
yal should invite Troy Taylor to the couch 💯
Lets Go!
the quiet moment after live chaining haha. Im a nobody or i would've told you about live chaining haha
Side chain with a gate. I thought about that
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
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 😂
Would never catch a Logic user switching up like that
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 😂
Man Robert too busy!😭😭😭nah one day I want the entire Dinner Party on the pod
@@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
Problem would be cool
I have the biggest challenge for you yet. Mix vocals like Montell fish
That’s career saving 23:17
My boy lj off that drank or hit sum ⛽️ ⛽️ 😂😅
