@@MrCarlosGouveia yea I watched him go from a 10k to 15k subs audio and mic tester to this beutiful art! Really is amazing audiohaze I tryed that for a while! Been doing gaming, right at almost 10 k now, need to switch it up in a good way with my actual uploads! need to make more videos 2 a week and go live! Have something different planned for my uploads! Thanks for being an inspiration
Dude this channel is like a dream come true for a music producer, seriously. I know beatmaking channels, mixing tips, recording technics, music interviews… but all in one? Nah, only you. Keep doing this!!!!
Thanks dude! Yeah I really try and make it more like a video essay, which is the content I love on RUclips, sometimes music creators end up filming their DAWs too much imo lol
@@AudioHaze Totally, feels like there is a lot of 'look, plugin!' in music production content. Equally its not fun when people film videos about music production without any technical details.
that’s literally what I was going to say. I’ve been battling ptsd as the 10 yr anniversary of my mom losing her battle with mental health and Bon Iver’s music saved my life, this video is literally the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I just started learning music production and piano and electric guitar. are there more videos like this? do you take requests on songs? this is amazing
You are not a RUclipsr. You are a phenomenal storyteller, music historian, muso-producer in your own right. This was quite easily the most indepth, insightful and engaging presentation on Bon Ivers approach that had me on the edge of my seat for every second. Thank you for your labour of love.
It was really cool of you to shout out Nick's services. It's crazy how many people like him have been a part of incredible records but don't necessarily see a significant surge in clients or prestige despite that. Glad to see he's still maintaining his practice - I hope this nets him a lot of new projects!
Dude Nick was so cool! We all went out for coffee after and he showed me the local venue, he's a grade A fantastic person he deserves every project he can get his hands on
I love the professional mixing/mastering engineer that polished the famous Bon Iver album still gives interviews with the SM57 pointing away from his mouth
Probably my fault! I should have had us monitor or something like that, when the cameras on you lots of practices leave your brain and you're kinda just worried about delivering a good interview
@@AudioHazewhen you're producing everything, you can't get as specific as you would if you only did one task, but I thought this was professional as heck, well produced and thought out. Amazing job, well worth the time watching!
Bro - The videos just keep getting better and better! This is incredible and exactly what RUclips was made for; someone who's passionate going this deep on a specific topic! We are all lucky to have you making this stuff. Keep up the amazing work Ricky!
Really appreciate how you conducted the interview with Nick. You asked great questions and let him have space to reflect. Great video overall too! Thank you!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how these videos validates a lot of what I do in terms of remove some guilt with imperfections and encourages me to experiment with more freedom.
Thanks! Definitely going to be checking out some more of your work. What a fun and well-produced investigation.. it was delightful to hear Nick's strategies and insight.
Not the most glamorous youtube channel - dude you buy and own expensive guitar and equipment, you are talented, intelligent, focused and surrounded by supportive people. You bringing yourself down really triggers unpleasant and angry thoughts - how should feel people who have none of that. People who look at your channel and think - wow i wish i could have/do that. People who are way less privileged to ever achieve, do or own what you have. Really hard to relate to your little wining
Dude…, took a moment to pause the video at 15:35 to express my gratitude for doing this. This has gained my subscribe, link, bell, everything. I’ve been waiting for a video like this for awhile (several years). Words cannot express my thanks, but thank you soooooooo much for this…
"Not the most glamorous RUclips channel"...but dang dude your content makes me wanna make music and that means the world. This video also really invites in the sense that we don't need to be perfect, which again just gives me permission to simply create! I just love all the tidbits you offer and the extra mile you go. Pure gold. I also love your honestly and self reflection. Keep on keeping on brother and know your work has certainly relit my creative flame. Big luv!
@@AudioHaze omg I can’t believe you replied. 😱❤️ This video was like top tier journalism into the origins of the Bon Iver sound that changed the face of folk music for the foreseeable future. You did a perfect rendition of flume. You displayed the arrangement of the vocal and guitar over dubs in a way that described a sonic picture. You showed vulnerability in showing your raw takes. And to top it all off you interviewed the original mastering engineer. And you looked at peer reviewed papers about the sound of the record. This video was honestly the best thing I’ve ever watched on RUclips. The album For Emma: forever ago changed my life. Now I believe your video has done it again.
Genuinely shedding the most amount of light on how music is ACTUALLY made instead of people’s best guesses you hear about that don’t ultimately produce the same results. Your time and effort, all your work invested really shines through. Thank you for these gifts
Hey man! Huge Bon Iver fan (and huge fan of this channel also@!) here! I LOVE everything you did on both videos you made about this record. Gave me so much good insights for my own recording process. I'd like to know, some day in the future, your takes on 22, a million and i,i, since they are almost a completely different kind of Bon Iver from Perth and For Emma. Thanks for the amazing job and much love from Brazil!
I literally can't imagine how much time and effort went into making a video like this. I've never felt inclined to give money for a YT video before but...wow. It's not much but just seriously, thank you.
DAMN, this is one phenomenal video. Part documentary, part production how-to/lesson, and part song craft tutorial. So well done my friend! Can't wait for the next one!
From someone who has wanted to record an acoustic folk-rock album for the last 20 years and only now is just barely figuring out how to use a DAW, this video is gold upon gold. Thank you so much for making these, for explaining things, for unpicking and demystifying a process by recreating it-I appreciate it's not a 100% recreation but man oh man, it's real fucking good!
Thanks Carlos!! And importantly, I try NOT to get into the DAW until the PATREON video, to show how much of the work should be done before ever touching a plugin ya know
I can’t believe this exists. Thank you for making it! Answers some questions I’ve had for 15+ years, and also some I never thought to ask. Beautiful recreation too! 🤩
Perfect video! The fact that you managed to dig to the bottom of the 2000s internet to find this guy who happened to live close to your home town is insane lol. Your Tame Impala vid you made a year or two back is how I discovered your channel and I would love it if you did a video on how to sound like him in your bedroom at some stage, even though his catalogue is quite diverse. Thanks for the great content!
insanely inspirational, your ability to create this kind of content and music on your own is unmatched by anything I've seen. Hope to see you not just reach the big leagues, but to define it further.
This is by far the best review of an album I ever watched! Every few months I'm in a Bon Iver mood and I always search for new interviews, live sessions, comment's about this album and the making proces. My man u nailed it! Super grateful for your hard work! Cheers!
Your videos are very impactful to me as an aspiring audio engineer. The amount of detail is absurd with literally no one else willing to give away the knowledge you do. Thank you so much for creating and sharing the work you do.
Hahaha thought that crazy hair fit the vibe lol Glad I could help you learn my friend! Hopefully it ties the gear element into the creative part of production
Man, you're definitely making history. I mean even a lot of bigger channels don't have this quality of ... everything. The plot of the vide, the details I did not hear about, the musical focus of it all really does inspire and I can mention a thousand more things. But I'll just say Thank you for what you're doing.
And thank you for watching my friend! That all means so much, support from your end is the other half of the coin, and I'm thankful for such an amazing audience
I've been a Bon Iver superfan from the very beginning and I've listened to and played his music myself more than probably most other fans and your chorus sounds sooo close to the original on the "only love is all maroon", it's uncanny! Kudos dude!
Damn, it’s one of the most wholesome /realistic videos I’ve seen in a long time, this is really the reason why I want to start learning guitar, an absolute bomb of intimate emotions you shared here man. So insanely passionate about music. The way you express yourself to the world, but most importantly to yourself is amazing. I’m truly speechless. Thanks for making content like this and inspiring me to expand my music career as well. Thanks a lot 💗🫡
This video is the kind of content of the future. Although I came in to hopefully learn something new for music production, I genuinely am in awe with the overall video production. I believe you have the personality and skills to feature on any mainstream platform like Netflix and easily chart in the top 5 best documentaries once released. You my friend are on a path to not only appeal to musicians and producers but to any music lover out there. An instant like and subscribe from me! Looking forward to discovering your other videos and following your journey. Sending much success vibes from the Great White North.
man, this has to be the best video you did so far. everything from storytelling to visuals to facts to sounds is just spot on. also the shoutouts to nick to accomplish his influence and how simple things matter to projects like that album. and the final outcome is amazing, that cover comes so close that it's scary. (you should sing more often!)
I loved your Phoebe Bridgers video when you first released. And to my surprise, I wasn’t subscribed. So you just got one today. BI is easily my favorite band on this planet. And to see this incredible analysis of the production process is awesome. Seeing videos like this gives me more confidence in my own production and composition skills. Great work! EDIT: I also saw your rear bus reel. And I tried it, but I did it as dual mono with GREAT effect. So thanks again!!
I’ve been with you since your college mic review days (which I did enjoy). I remember you feeling like it was a big risk to change up your content , but honestly this is pure gold! I’m so happy you took that risk. So much of RUclips is product focused, but this is so much more valuable for me. Love it ❤️. Hope you’re still enjoying it too! This must be an insane amount of work to piece together
Yeah thanks dude!! I liked reviews, but it wasn't what I set out to do and this honors what I'm trying to accomplish so much better. And thank you for sticking around for so long my friend!
i have just started getting into bon iver's music and love how raw it sounds, and stumbling into this video as a musician myself is delightful! you got a new subscriber
Last year I started sound production & mixing a bit seriously and your channel is my top 1 in the whole of YT. Thank you so much for being so honest and vulnerable about your work 🌿🌿🌿
I have always deeply resonated with Bon Iver’s music, this album in particular. He is one of my biggest inspirations in how I write and produce my music. I have been searching for while trying to figure out how he got all of the raw background sounds and made his songs sound so intimate. This video is an absolute goldmine. You truly are such an incredibly gifted producer, and I’m so grateful that you are willing to take the time to share your knowledge with people, when many producers keep it secret. These videos help so many home producers and musicians who don’t have access to a bunch of fancy equipment to make great music and I can’t thank you enough for it. I can’t wait to use these techniques in my own music. Thank you
Hello! I'm writing from Mendoza, Argentina. I don't know how to tell you how much and on what different levels your videos have helped me (and will help me), from your charisma, your way of transmitting, your passion for sound, music, production and mixing. Simply thank you, I'm joining your patreon right now. Keep it up, greetings.
Just wanted to say that even though your channel is not the most exuberant one, it’s one of my favorites. Always super thrilled when you release a video. What a pleasure to have long, in depth videos where you take time to dive deep into what makes the sound of an artist, while still keeping this slow, chill vibe, it’s always a great moment to watch them. I really like that you don’t say « oh no gear isn’t important », in front of 15000$ worth of equipment, but embrace the 57’drumstick aesthetic, or the handheld mics on the interview. I always come back to your channel, to me one of the most interesting and inspiring ! Take care !
I love how these videos make me appreciate and fall in love with the songs that are being recreated so much more. The dedication to getting it right makes the recreation so amazing. Gave me shivers listening to the song.
Yeah dude... I love your videos. I am such a big Bon Iver fan too and I thought you got this so close at times I couldn't tell the difference (specially on vocals, WOW). You do such a great job at maintaining a channel that strikes the perfect balance between information, education, and art. Keep it up. We can wait whatever amount of time each video takes. You do the Internet a good service.
this is really the most useful and inspirational video i’ve ever seen as an artist and you absolutely killed the final product, vocals and everything. i was not expecting that. thank you
Can’t tell you how much I love these kinds of videos. Truly art and not just content. I live in NC & today I passed through Carrboro today for work. Small world. Thanks so much, this answered so many questions and gave me some serious artistic encouragement and ideas!
What it's incredible about this chanel is not just the amazing recording quality o how deep you go to collect all the data you can, it's the pasion you show in every video. Keep up the good work man.
The mix/unmixed comparison on this track in particular is really striking imo. It's so evident how simple the mixing can be when you get the sounds right at the source and are willing to highlight the natural artistry in raw recordings. I love how you specifically pointed out how little reverb is on almost every instrument. To me, that's what makes this track feel so hollow even though its so full. It would be so easy to put a big room verb on everything here but the rawness and dryness of everything is what makes it so powerful.
So true!!! I point that out in the mix breakdown on Patreon too, I tried really hard to get the sounds right at the source so that mixing was just polish this time around.
Those first 2 minutes show the extreme depth that this DOCUMENTARY (it’s got to be considered that) is about to go into. As a Bon Iver fan and a fellow musician and engineer finding inspiration from JV since ‘08 - wow, respect. Purely amazing work here!
@@AudioHaze You're most welcome! :) Been trying Bon Iver a few times over the years and it never hit me like others in the genre. But now it looks like it´s the right time. And regardless, your video is super interesting. I also listened to your better half´s songs last night. Beautiful voice!
Dude. Wow. This is one of the best things I've seen on RUclips, period. I'm so impressed, thank you so much for the insane levels of research and production quality. You worked hard, I'm sure it'll pay off.
I had to wait until this weekend to finish the video because of work! But, man was it worth the wait. Thank you so much, this was an amazing video and I loved how you mentioned embracing the imperfections of our recordings. I guess a perfect recording is the least perfect of them all. And yes, the video absolutely delivered!!
Thank god my RUclips feed showed this video. Perfect way to spend 40 mins. Never before I heard Bon Iver, thanks for the introduction. Brilliant content.
incredible. the level of passion, dedication, and attention to detail in your videos is astonishing. you are the batman of the music production community. so inspiring and informative.
that is pure gold. thank you for making all of those videos concise and to the point. your videos popped up on my feed and its like watching a new episode of your favorite tv show. love it.
Thank you so much for this video. Had the song stuck in my head since I saw on Instagram that you're making this video. All this is gold. My two main takeaways: 1) embrace the imperfections 2) keep it simple in the mixing/recording!
Absolutely! Definitely with the mixing, I tried really hard to ge the sound right at the source this time around and work minimally in the software, a lesson learned from the one and only Garth Richardson
Man your channel is honestly a treasure for every music producer down in this world. The passion you put on those and the way you present your journey in the searching of a sound you love is fantastic and so inspiring. Thanks you so much !
I didn't realize you were from Carrboro. I grew up in Durham, NC, and have been living here again since 2020. I was in Carrboro seeing a show just the other night. I always feel a kinship to musicians from this area. Playing at Chapel Hill and Carrboro venues in the '90s, which most people will say was the peak era for the local scene, was such a big part of my teenage experience. Amazing video, btw. It went so much deeper and told so much more of an interesting narrative of discovery than I was ever expecting.
That’s actually genius. Imagine 6 different version of yourself singing at the same time in the same room, but at different spots around the mic. I never thought about it that way until I saw your visual. Neat recording trick. Might have to try out different patterns. VERY cool.
Incerdible video, havent even heard the album 😂 Your attention to detail, effort, and respect you have for the people involved and the process is inspiring. Thank you 😊
That recreation is SPOT ON. And your research into his sound and techniques is fascinating.This video and the Rage video are both so well made. Looking forward to seeing/hearing you tackle more tunes. ✌
The vocals are seriously insane! I don’t really know how your singing voice usually sounds, but that is a freaking spot on recreation of Justin’s style 👍🏻
Love watching these videos dude! I’ve listened to this album so much, that the rattling ebow sound is like one of those deeply embedded musical memories. So cool to see how it was made
This is an incredible video. I can’t imagine how much work it is, know it’s a treasure for fans of yours that are also bon iver fans! That album carried me through some dark times.

LOLLL next channel CrimeHaze
@@AudioHazedude fr lol been watching since all reviews 5 k I am close to 5 k need to fig my niche love bro amazing
Imagine him on CSI
My jaw's still on the floor. Commitment! Dude!
@@MrCarlosGouveia yea I watched him go from a 10k to 15k subs audio and mic tester to this beutiful art! Really is amazing audiohaze I tryed that for a while! Been doing gaming, right at almost 10 k now, need to switch it up in a good way with my actual uploads! need to make more videos 2 a week and go live! Have something different planned for my uploads! Thanks for being an inspiration
Your vocals are scarily accurate to Justin’s imo. Keep up the fantastic work, man, every time you drop a new video I get so much inspiration to create
Thanks dude! I tried my best, and I couldn't ask for a better outcome :)
For real, I would have thought that was Justin Vernon’s voice if I heard it out of context.. honestly it’s crazy how much it sounds like him.
For sure, I wanna try it but I got MXL let’s see what I can get from them
@@marloronaisolate Bon’s vocal track compared to yours, and use EQ matching!
I just mixed your stems and played it for some of my indie friends and they thought it was Iver. Great job!
Our man takes the SM57 legend so far that he even uses them as drumsticks... Now, that's dedication 💜
HAHA I had to makea split decision, and it ended up working on in the name of content
@@AudioHaze "In the Name of Content" - that's a good U2 song
Ok wow, blown away. Barely a quarter of the way through and I can tell this vid is one for the history books.
Thanks dude!!
@@AudioHaze ya insane.. made his camera look like a Sony f3. sick
amongst other great qualities
The Dan Worrall namedrop is a HUGE tip imo, dude is just really good at presenting valuable, non-trivial mixing advice
Yeah his vibe honestly reminds me of the internet anarchist a bit its sick!
Dan is a great guy. He has done live sound for me a few times. A very nice man and great with sound.
Oh hey! You’re citing me! I’m Amanda Lewis!
I did write the full thesis. If you’d like a copy let me know 😊

WOW thank you that's crazy to hear!
@@AudioHaze They really sound good man. Well done.
finally a music production channel that doesn't just record themselves making beats
Hahahah yeah I really try and stay away from a DAW as much as possible in these vids, production is a different animal

Tried my best! Lots of A/B'ing between the original and mine to try and dial in the sound :)
Still watching but you can immediately tell this is such a passion project video mate, love this!
It is indeed!! Bon Iver kind of kick started this video, it was nonnegotiable that this video went hard hahaha

And thank you for watching my friend! That all means so much, support from your end is the other half of the coin, and I'm thankful for such an amazing audience
man i swear to god i hear a awful ground noise in his mic signal
I've been a Bon Iver superfan from the very beginning and I've listened to and played his music myself more than probably most other fans and your chorus sounds sooo close to the original on the "only love is all maroon", it's uncanny! Kudos dude!

Damn, it’s one of the most wholesome /realistic videos I’ve seen in a long time, this is really the reason why I want to start learning guitar, an absolute bomb of intimate emotions you shared here man. So insanely passionate about music. The way you express yourself to the world, but most importantly to yourself is amazing. I’m truly speechless. Thanks for making content like this and inspiring me to expand my music career as well. Thanks a lot 💗🫡
This video is the kind of content of the future. Although I came in to hopefully learn something new for music production, I genuinely am in awe with the overall video production. I believe you have the personality and skills to feature on any mainstream platform like Netflix and easily chart in the top 5 best documentaries once released. You my friend are on a path to not only appeal to musicians and producers but to any music lover out there. An instant like and subscribe from me! Looking forward to discovering your other videos and following your journey.
Sending much success vibes from the Great White North.
so cool, as both a music fan and recording geek i highly honor your advices, documentaries and recording show cases! cheers to that, buddy!
man, this has to be the best video you did so far. everything from storytelling to visuals to facts to sounds is just spot on.
also the shoutouts to nick to accomplish his influence and how simple things matter to projects like that album.
and the final outcome is amazing, that cover comes so close that it's scary. (you should sing more often!)
I loved your Phoebe Bridgers video when you first released. And to my surprise, I wasn’t subscribed. So you just got one today.
BI is easily my favorite band on this planet. And to see this incredible analysis of the production process is awesome. Seeing videos like this gives me more confidence in my own production and composition skills. Great work!
EDIT: I also saw your rear bus reel. And I tried it, but I did it as dual mono with GREAT effect. So thanks again!!
This whole video feels very cathartic. I love the exploration, both physical and technical. Much love 😊
Thank you so much! Never had my videos called cathartic before but i didn’t know how much I’d like hearing it 😂
I’ve been with you since your college mic review days (which I did enjoy). I remember you feeling like it was a big risk to change up your content , but honestly this is pure gold! I’m so happy you took that risk. So much of RUclips is product focused, but this is so much more valuable for me. Love it ❤️. Hope you’re still enjoying it too! This must be an insane amount of work to piece together
Yeah thanks dude!! I liked reviews, but it wasn't what I set out to do and this honors what I'm trying to accomplish so much better. And thank you for sticking around for so long my friend!
i have just started getting into bon iver's music and love how raw it sounds, and stumbling into this video as a musician myself is delightful! you got a new subscriber
Last year I started sound production & mixing a bit seriously and your channel is my top 1 in the whole of YT. Thank you so much for being so honest and vulnerable about your work 🌿🌿🌿
BIGGG respect the extensive research, and efforts put behind the scenes for this video to come to life is absolutely insaneeee!
I have always deeply resonated with Bon Iver’s music, this album in particular. He is one of my biggest inspirations in how I write and produce my music. I have been searching for while trying to figure out how he got all of the raw background sounds and made his songs sound so intimate. This video is an absolute goldmine. You truly are such an incredibly gifted producer, and I’m so grateful that you are willing to take the time to share your knowledge with people, when many producers keep it secret. These videos help so many home producers and musicians who don’t have access to a bunch of fancy equipment to make great music and I can’t thank you enough for it.
I can’t wait to use these techniques in my own music. Thank you
Hello! I'm writing from Mendoza, Argentina. I don't know how to tell you how much and on what different levels your videos have helped me (and will help me), from your charisma, your way of transmitting, your passion for sound, music, production and mixing. Simply thank you, I'm joining your patreon right now. Keep it up, greetings.
Just wanted to say that even though your channel is not the most exuberant one, it’s one of my favorites. Always super thrilled when you release a video. What a pleasure to have long, in depth videos where you take time to dive deep into what makes the sound of an artist, while still keeping this slow, chill vibe, it’s always a great moment to watch them.
I really like that you don’t say « oh no gear isn’t important », in front of 15000$ worth of equipment, but embrace the 57’drumstick aesthetic, or the handheld mics on the interview.
I always come back to your channel, to me one of the most interesting and inspiring !
Take care !
I love how these videos make me appreciate and fall in love with the songs that are being recreated so much more. The dedication to getting it right makes the recreation so amazing. Gave me shivers listening to the song.
Yeah dude... I love your videos. I am such a big Bon Iver fan too and I thought you got this so close at times I couldn't tell the difference (specially on vocals, WOW). You do such a great job at maintaining a channel that strikes the perfect balance between information, education, and art. Keep it up. We can wait whatever amount of time each video takes. You do the Internet a good service.
Thanks so much dude wow this is too kind! I try and ride that line between production video and essay :)
this is really the most useful and inspirational video i’ve ever seen as an artist and you absolutely killed the final product, vocals and everything. i was not expecting that. thank you
Can’t tell you how much I love these kinds of videos. Truly art and not just content.
I live in NC & today I passed through Carrboro today for work. Small world.
Thanks so much, this answered so many questions and gave me some serious artistic encouragement and ideas!
dude i’m blown away by your production on this channel. I’m learning so much and i can’t thank you enough.
Delivered is an understatement. You put together such an incredible video, and your recreation of flume blew me away.
Thank you so much!
What it's incredible about this chanel is not just the amazing recording quality o how deep you go to collect all the data you can, it's the pasion you show in every video. Keep up the good work man.
The mix/unmixed comparison on this track in particular is really striking imo. It's so evident how simple the mixing can be when you get the sounds right at the source and are willing to highlight the natural artistry in raw recordings.
I love how you specifically pointed out how little reverb is on almost every instrument. To me, that's what makes this track feel so hollow even though its so full. It would be so easy to put a big room verb on everything here but the rawness and dryness of everything is what makes it so powerful.
So true!!! I point that out in the mix breakdown on Patreon too, I tried really hard to get the sounds right at the source so that mixing was just polish this time around.
Those first 2 minutes show the extreme depth that this DOCUMENTARY (it’s got to be considered that) is about to go into.
As a Bon Iver fan and a fellow musician and engineer finding inspiration from JV since ‘08 - wow, respect. Purely amazing work here!
Thank you for one of the most interesting and coolest RUclips videos ever made.
WOW omg thank you that’s incredibly nice of you to say!!!
@@AudioHaze You're most welcome! :) Been trying Bon Iver a few times over the years and it never hit me like others in the genre. But now it looks like it´s the right time. And regardless, your video is super interesting. I also listened to your better half´s songs last night. Beautiful voice!
this might be one of the most insightful and helpful videos on Bon Iver sound ever
when you started playing your version, my eyes became all teary. amazing video, research and dedication, just amazing. congratulations man
Dude. Wow. This is one of the best things I've seen on RUclips, period. I'm so impressed, thank you so much for the insane levels of research and production quality. You worked hard, I'm sure it'll pay off.
the vocals on this are immaculate, loved this whole video sm
Man, this is one of the coolest yt videos I've seen in ages. Mad respect and appreciation for the art you share !!
I had to wait until this weekend to finish the video because of work! But, man was it worth the wait. Thank you so much, this was an amazing video and I loved how you mentioned embracing the imperfections of our recordings. I guess a perfect recording is the least perfect of them all. And yes, the video absolutely delivered!!
Thank god my RUclips feed showed this video. Perfect way to spend 40 mins. Never before I heard Bon Iver, thanks for the introduction. Brilliant content.
incredible. the level of passion, dedication, and attention to detail in your videos is astonishing. you are the batman of the music production community. so inspiring and informative.
that is pure gold. thank you for making all of those videos concise and to the point. your videos popped up on my feed and its like watching a new episode of your favorite tv show. love it.
Thank you so much for this video. Had the song stuck in my head since I saw on Instagram that you're making this video. All this is gold. My two main takeaways: 1) embrace the imperfections 2) keep it simple in the mixing/recording!
Absolutely! Definitely with the mixing, I tried really hard to ge the sound right at the source this time around and work minimally in the software, a lesson learned from the one and only Garth Richardson
You are such a legend for doing this, you definitely delivered. Well done on the final mix of "Flume," sounded great.
Man your channel is honestly a treasure for every music producer down in this world. The passion you put on those and the way you present your journey in the searching of a sound you love is fantastic and so inspiring. Thanks you so much !
Absolutely incredible video man. Your storytelling is so on point. Thanks for making it
I didn't realize you were from Carrboro. I grew up in Durham, NC, and have been living here again since 2020. I was in Carrboro seeing a show just the other night. I always feel a kinship to musicians from this area. Playing at Chapel Hill and Carrboro venues in the '90s, which most people will say was the peak era for the local scene, was such a big part of my teenage experience.
Amazing video, btw. It went so much deeper and told so much more of an interesting narrative of discovery than I was ever expecting.
That’s actually genius. Imagine 6 different version of yourself singing at the same time in the same room, but at different spots around the mic. I never thought about it that way until I saw your visual. Neat recording trick. Might have to try out different patterns. VERY cool.
Really appreciate your professional delivery and research - thanks for sharing your wisdom and insights!
Incerdible video, havent even heard the album 😂
Your attention to detail, effort, and respect you have for the people involved and the process is inspiring.
Thank you 😊
That recreation is SPOT ON. And your research into his sound and techniques is fascinating.This video and the Rage video are both so well made. Looking forward to seeing/hearing you tackle more tunes. ✌
The vocals are seriously insane! I don’t really know how your singing voice usually sounds, but that is a freaking spot on recreation of Justin’s style 👍🏻
Love watching these videos dude! I’ve listened to this album so much, that the rattling ebow sound is like one of those deeply embedded musical memories. So cool to see how it was made
This is an incredible video. I can’t imagine how much work it is, know it’s a treasure for fans of yours that are also bon iver fans! That album carried me through some dark times.
