Young Guru: Creativity in the engineer's chair | Loop
Музыка
Young Guru has worked with the likes of Jay Z, Beyonce, Drake, Rhianna, Rick Ross and Snoop Dogg. In this conversation at Loop 2015, he discusses how his approach to making records allows him to move fluidly between the roles of co-pilot, audio specialist, and even musician, and how today’s engineer can (and should) be so much more than a technician with good ears.

So Glad Guru didn't just give a "fluff" talk, he went in. Thank you again :)

💯💯💯 he always drops GEMS💎 as do you! It’s appreciated beyond words 🙏☀️
It's a honor to be able to hear this interview.
I stood up and applauded when he said the part about syncing warp makers. I can't tell you how many times I wish I could auto sync every 4 bars. I'm nobody but please listen to Guru. LOL.
most of his family are educators... makes perfect sense now

yeah i listened to some other interviews with him prior to this and mentally noted how sharp he was, so this totally made sense
Guru's the truth! you can listen to any Roc-A-Fella song from '00 - '08 and it sounds like he mixed it yesterday. still sounds fresh & crispy.
As a Music Production student, I found this interview to be very helpful. At this point I'm learning about how to create by using Ableton. I didn't like the DAW at first because I was so used to Logic Pro X, now I'm beginning to see the difference, so let the fun begin! Thanks Young Guru! It was a great interview. I never heard of a such a great innovator until now. I feel like I'm sitting right beside him as a student being taught the art of being a better producer. I find effective criticism to be hurtful but also a opportunity to grow musically. I decided to drop out of college as a medical student to pursue my passion in music. I decided to take the initial step to learn about the basic fundamentals of perfecting the art.

stratsplit Hi, I'm studying at The Los Angeles Film School. I have some snippits of a beat I did with Ableton on my Instagram page @jacogphebe. I'm currently learning recording vocals and Protools but I won't ease off Ableton (lol).

telvan Reves Hi, you should...LA Film School has an Excellent Music Production/Music Business degree program. So far I've had a great experience. I'm almost close to graduation next year. I've learned a lot so far and the excellent thing of it all is the fact that you learn a bit about everything needed to eventually run a professional home recording studio or obtain a career anywhere in the music industry. I hope to not only run my own studio but to also launch a worldwide entertainment business for everything that has to do with music and sound that will enable folks on a lower budget and are rendered quality products of goods and services. It won't be easy but I strongly believe it can be done if you don't see it as just a way to make money but experiencing the thrill of doing what you enjoy and are most passionate about :)

jacogphebe1 that's what it's all about
Guru is a don, plain & simple.
What a great guy, very knowledgeable on music and happy to share his experience. Sat and watched the entire session.
he is genius
I just watched this video, and wow the timing of seeing this was immaculate. As a young and aspiring hip-hop artist who has pushed things aside for a number of years, just to learn how to produce so I can cut out the reliance of someone else when it comes to pursing my artist career... this was super informative and extremely motivational! It gets hard trying to do it all yourself, and I just wanted to appreciate this moment I had by dropping a comment. Shout out some love to Young Guru, you a walking blessing my guy!
guru not getting credit is also why he is a great engineer. he solves problems. he needs more credit, but you know when you get guru you get a finished product with all the problems solved.
56:00 that is exactly what led me here to this video and this has been one of best musical interviews Ive seen, edutainment 👏
So much gems. Classic talk from the og
freaking AWESOME game from GURU!!!!!!
So what Im crushing 😍 on Guru... I love people who can create their own music and unique sound.
Man 3 minutes in and I love this guy already. Cool ass dude
Thank you for this great interview!!!! Inspiring.
Commenting on Theory Vs Application: Young Guru says you ought to know the differences between the settings to know how they will change the sound of your music. I like his subtle mention about technicalities because he's effectively said that the tool for the job may not always be the tool you are trying to use to get your desired effect.
Thank you Ableton!!! Thank you Guru 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 so much knowledge here
Young Guru. THANK YOU
When he got to sampling and pianos being a preset it completely blew my mind!
Just was humbled by this. Put me on a new level
That's really saying something sometimes....Loved it
Excellent, and Beyond thanks Young Guru
That's really real, Dilla is as great as Mozart! Thank you!!! Genius. Great talk!!! What was he saying about the Ableton Live option that you can add to your sample chops that gave it a different sound ?
Guru is a Guru ,his method is key fr, don't underthink ,don't overthink.
The Piano is A Preset

Damn this is super diamond gems in this interview I definitely fall victim to the session preset setup for my mixes as far as starting my beats with parametric eq with bass roll off and a multi band preset compressor on it from the start
Legend! Thank you.
great interview
Amazing, deep insight from a modern genius.
Breaks it down so interestingly and understandable! 💪
Great talk!
"Go get hot"!
Masterclass: terms, feeling, triumph. You had me at, "Hello".
Excellent.
a man of great insight.
The 2nd part of the sampling answer is how I feel about Wild thoughts.
Really bright guy.
Excellent. ....
I don't even fuck with music production but I can hear him talk for hours
This dude is on.
It's a good streak.
young guru, switched on dude yeah
good watch
On rushing: Yeah it's noticeable because hindsight or being aware that people aren't doing their best anymore when you see them become comparable to something that isn't a best practice in your industry. It's a big convenience factor you consider when you're dealing with time. Just my two cents :)
guy true
A really AMAZING guy!
Now you know why he’s called ‘Guru’
I’m done after the second “I don’t know”.
I like how Guru makes stacks and still rocks them $400 Nixon watches lol
He needs a bigger platform
would be great if we could download these talks as a podcast!

At 41:00🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
He mentioned mp3 and using waves, but their are more better formats that don’t require wav and have good quality but meh I understand what he means regardless
can somebody tell me what beat he redo from swizz beats at 42:00
If you not the expert then..study I FIRMLY believe that I wanted to attend living arts college in NC ,couldn't afford it so I read and KZreadd and learned how to mix, so I say to the person who wants to be an engineer, you CAN do it!!!!
amazing. For folks digging his part about knowing your tools, check out Amdrew Zeleno’s channel and/or audio course. I’m in it right now, best money I ever spent on audio. He’s teaching how to become an engineer like Young Guru describes. Knowing the tools’ pros and cons and how to listen and think about every situation.
Go get hot! Done deal!
