After watching countless of these videos where top notch producer/musicians explain how they work, you start to see a common thread that ties them all together. They all seem to put far more attention towards the vision of the music, understanding the artist, and trying to convey emotion over the actual technical process. Very inspiring, great video Chris!
@@znerolepicmusic6015 You are completely right. It's not that hard to have a clear vision of the destination, but limitation of technical knowledge will always slow you or break your mood.
Check out Rebecca Vasmant's 2021 'With Love From Glasgow' LP - She is a DJ & now producer, who doesn't sing, read music, play any instruments or have the traditional technical producer skills - Her fortay is having a good ear, taste, imagination, direction & collaboration with the artists & engineers who played on & helped create the album...
I agree. But I think, odd add that perhaps, one could argue that technical development can be figured out instinctively if you actually imagine concretely, the sound of what you want something to sound like. People like Steven Wilson are tremendous talented and if you listen to him, he will let you that a lot of is not technical awareness of the minutia, but rather a macro of it....
My goal is to get past the technical aspect and purely focus on creating. Buying new equipment/plugins is fun but learning them isn’t. I love when the tool just feels like an extension of my brain and I can do exactly what I want to do with it creatively.
That’s the kind of studio that gets results! You have the Malibu weather when you need to walk and think and the house is filled with soothing elements and instruments!
That piece about vocal production is so important - allowing the vocalist to hear what needs to be improved rather than jumping right in with "opinions" ... just let it flow.
This is the most nervous I've ever seen Christian in an interview. Don't worry dude, even the hippest dudes I've met in this biz are still huge nerds once you get them going. 🤓
Yeah, I felt it too. But I think its because Jeff went from zero to a hundred in 2 seconds. There was no natural build up. And standing so far apart felt awkward.
@@TheCrowHillCo as an anxious flyer myself I totally feel for that. Makes way more sense why you didn’t seem quite yourself. Still a fantastic interview
Man what I would give to sit down and learn from this guy 1 on 1. This is a great interview. Feels like a conversation, great questions, doesn’t interrupt, yet the conversation is 2 way and natural.
Lol this is the first interview I've seen of Jeff where the interviewer knew way more about Jeff Bhasker than just him working with Kanye. So much gold in this.
Weirdly enough... i am extraordinarily relieved that he's not wearing socks with those sandals ;) Great vid - his holistic producer vision is remarkably astute and seasoned.
An unusual yet interesting interview. A curveball, given CH’s cribs video catalogue. It was like I was seeing Jimmy Nail and hearing Wayne from Wayne’s World. I think CH should do more of these vids. Personally I love seeing peoples working environments.
This is fantastic! So many great insights from both Christian and Jeff. I loved hearing Jeff talk about his process and how he can talk for hours on the first day with the artist in order to help them tell their story through music. I love these creative crib videos, thank you!
I love he got success in his career and he’s still passionate about what he does! I want to follow his steps as well. I graduated in CS last year and after a 6 month internship I finally got my 1st real job as Software Engineer. Though my passion is computers I always wanted to work in music. I’ll keep pushing until I make it happen!
@@Medellinish Right now I work for an Internet company developing tools and analytics. Though I have created plugins in the past with c++ and have been working on to other youtube channels uploading music vids of between 10 min to 1 hour duration
@@inspisiavideos8542 oh ok cool to hear- fields like music/sound computing and developing music devices with e.g. c++ is also interesting. I was wondering though if your "dream"/passion to work in music which you mentioned is more directed to actually being a music producer and writing music or more the music tech side of things, since you have a CS background. I have a degree in physics and actually kinda feel similar, having these passions to make music and being able live from it too - and then my mind gets often in the way telling me "you don't have the right degree for that etc." (I had piano training since I was 6 years old tough) - and then I often tend to think "rather try it with the more technical kind of things like music computing since they are somewhat closer to what you studied" bla bla. So yeah guess that's why I wonderd how you feel about this with a more sciency background too
@@Medellinish yeah I don’t think the background matters. If I remember correctly, one of the composers from Spitfire mentioned that he didn’t study music and every time he makes a video his explanation, attention to detail and the way around a library is amazing. Right now, all I want is to create music and upload it to my channels and instagrams and every available time I have to create a plugin. Do something ‘cause I like it and see where it takes me. There are many tutorials on youtube and even udemy. There is no need to wait years for a degree in order to get there. Example, on the side I’m a digital marketing specialist doing Marketo and mailchimp and didn’t graduate in marketing but I did watch videos, took trainings for a couple of months and I made different projects to have something to show during interviews to demonstrate I can do it. So everything is possible but put in the effort! Music is cool. I have always wanted to work on it. Mot necessarily for coding but to be a composer. I have felt hours disappear in a blink every time I open a library and make edits.
Thank you Spitfire for this one. I love the film composer ones but this was great to see and hope to see more of it since these perspectives are useful to all music makers. Would love to see some folks that have less money to spend on space and gear but are still making amazing work. Some other folks that would be cool to see: Kount Koal, Kenny Beats, Flying Lotus, Nick Hakim, love Hulten, Terrace Martin, Devonte Hynes, Monte Booker.
What he's saying about the process, vocalists, making the artist comfortable, focusing on learning the story behind the song, etc...these are all the same things I was just telling a new young artist that just came to my studio today! Just stumbled upon this channel via this video...subbed! 🤘
I enjoyed the talk very much ,Thx Jeff fun to see your beach studio Crib and Chris hope you'll be doing more of these Creative Cribs again !*_*) they are great fun
he's like recording all these multi platinum artists and is like I thing I need to get my hearing aid booth over here. Great idea lets go get it.... Then like i made Taylor swift sweat with no ventilation. Whoops just hit the button sorry about that haha. Awesome.
What a great episode. I love this series so much, been bingeing all the cribs episodes!

This is such a valid comment and lesson to learn! You first have to learn the technical skills in order to forget about them and focus on the music. 🙏

His work on 808s and Heartbreak was special
jeff has the ultimate cali chill vibe
For real, but at the same time he's cool as heck lol
This man produces/programs some of the coolest DRUM tracks ever. Spitfire needs to get some of his samples!
That’s the kind of studio that gets results! You have the Malibu weather when you need to walk and think and the house is filled with soothing elements and instruments!
He really made Harry Styles’ first 2 albums some of my top favourites in years. So organic , old school, and melodic. thanks for doing this!
harry isnt really my bag but he has a great band around him ... i saw them do sledgehammer on stern and was really impressed

I was having a massive anxiety attack as I had landed of three brutal flights a few hours before this.

"Music should sound like the cheapest means of production." Brilliant.
Authenticity, Storytelling, and embracing Imperfections. 🤘🤘🤘

2 years later, creative cribs is back. Nature is healing
An unusual guy. His insights are not to be sniffed at! Great job!
What a great thing to mention about the level in the vocalist's headphones 💎
Lol this is the first interview I've seen of Jeff where the interviewer knew way more about Jeff Bhasker than just him working with Kanye. So much gold in this.
I've been looking for Jeff Bhasker videos, LET'S GOOOO
Let me tell you something... this series is the best YT find in a long, long time. Please continue them!!
Selfishly my favorite creative cribs so far. Please do more spaces like this, there’s so much to learn!
Very insightful conversation. Jeff’s work with Kanye on 808s & Heartbreak and MBDTF is truly some of my favourite music of all time.
This guy added the magic to "Watch The Throne"
808s and Heartbreak too 🔥
@@lexfayaz ah man how could i forget! yes!!!!

Seems like a genuine humble guy and its clearly evident he loves what he does. Great video.
What a great space and producer.

What a class act, Jeff keeps it real! Thanks for this episode!
This man is so sweet and in his feelings. Good guys
Truly incredible. He’s seen much
Studio by the beach - doesn't get any better than that
What an unexpected fresh advices here! Part 2 with Jeff please!
I LOVE the Creative Cribs videos. They're what turned me on to Spitfire Audio. Now I own a handful of the products.
Love to see these video back! Thanks for sharing!
so awesome, thank y'all for the gems and inspo!!
Interesting interview, I really like the way Jeff talks, very positive!
Great interview. Thanks!
my man said "that looks very vibey" indeed it does christian, indeed it does
God Damn, that's an old Scully 1" 8trk. I used to mix to a modified 1/2" 2Trk Scully. Same one.. the old Model 280A! Brings back fond memories!
Wonderful, thank you Spitfire. Recently discovered you.. Got the "BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover", now watching these videos.. I am hooked! Love you
Lots of gems in here. Def wanna record here one day
great episode, what a great guy he is. i could have watched this for hours more
nice to see some love for the TASCAM 112

Work in Music as in a music producer/ composer/maker or rather in a more technical role like developing music software, building VSTs etc?

AMAAAAAZING VIBES. All that natural light is fire
Jeff your music inspires me everyday! Big fan from back in the Lettuce days. Studio is a dream! Hope to visit soon!
Excellent video! What a true legend! Do another
This was so awesome! Thank you Christian for another great videos. Love the wisdom gems that get dropped. Big up
This interview has really got me pondering the great questions of life and creativity, such as "where am I going to put this two ton vocal booth?"
Nice Baesh. You're looking great man.
Jeff is awesome!!
Great interview Christian. Much love from Texas!
