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.
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
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
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!
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!
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.
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…
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!
@@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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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! 🤩
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
35:07 You can’t say “they are not as good as Justin’s” and then whip out the most Justin Vernon sounding vocal tracks I’ve ever heard from someone who isn’t Justin Vernon
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
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
Ricky, I love your videos so much. You are so good at putting these together, and i get so much from the deep dives and interviews that you do. Keep up the good work, man 👨❤💋👨
Hi just discovered your channel here and it's really really awsome work. Thanks very much you're great. It's remindes how much I listened to this album at that time.
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.
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
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.
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 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!
The nostalgia hits hard, I was listening so much to this album and there was so much mystery around the creation process. Thanks for the great breakdown! I would also love a video about the newer Bon Iver sound (22, A Million and onwards).
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.
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
Wow I'm just getting into Bon Iver and wanting to record some stuff with a similar production style so this is perfect. Currently addicted to 29 Strafford apts
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.
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.
Really inspiring for this non-technical singer-songwriter, still working on the bedroom studio debut album at the age of 61. 😂 I console myself that even with my ancient version of Logic Pro, I have a thousand times more ‘kit’ than the Beatles had to make Sgt Pepper’s. And this ‘keep it simple’ attitude that applies IMHO to almost every aspect of life, just confirms what I believe. Write good songs, press record, get someone else who actually knows what they’re doing the mix and master it. Release. 🤷🏻♂️
It was funny seeing your comparisons between yourself and other RUclips channels. I find this content to be invaluable, and far more relevant to me than any glitz and glam! I don't want to name names, but I've subscribed and subsequently unsubscribed from a couple of the channels you showed specifically because I wasn't getting anything out of it. Never change! To be more specific, I find most other channels fall into a few traps. I list them not to put others down but to maybe provide helpful feedback from one viewer's perspective: 1. Flavor of the week gear and plugin reviews 2. Topics that have already been covered many times over 3. Videos that are more concerned with telling a compelling story than providing practical knowledge I can use 4. Knowledge that is interesting but not necessarily super useful 5. Videos with practical tips, but there's one small tip per ten minute video, so it feels like a big time investment for something that could be explained in thirty seconds, and maybe isn't all that useful 6. This one is hard to explain but some channels are too... reverent of certain ideas, gear, or people in music. Like the idea of how great something is is more important than how great it actually is. Does that make sense at all? This is sort of related to #3. Like when you become too enamored with your concept around a song instead of closing your eyes, listening, and seeing if you feel something or not. Anyway, long story short, I subscribed and hope to see more great content like this from you. Never change!
Thanks my friend! I'm not sure how long you've been watching but I actually started doing content similar to what you are describing! Specifically gear videos and reviews, I personally started not enjoying myself bc it didn't feel like I was accomplishing what I set out to do with my channel, this is much more fulfilling. I'm honestly so honored the audience took the chance so well.
@@AudioHaze I discovered you because of this video and subscribed immediately, so I'm new here! And there's definitely nothing wrong with gear or plugin reviews, it's just hard to stand out from the crowd doing them all the time. I'm sure RUclips isn't easy no matter what kind of content people create, and I have a lot of respect for anyone who's really putting the work in and trying to make something of their channel, regardless of whether the content is relevant to me or not. In this case, you took a risk and worked very hard, and it paid off. Well done!! I'm sure comparing yourself to other channels is part of developing your craft, but please don't let go of your unique ability to unearth really valuable information like in this video.
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.
This is awesome. I can see the amount of work, the research, time and care that went into this. Fantastic work, always an awesome learning experiencing watching your videos- engaging, thoughtfully put together, and genuine.
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 🌿🌿🌿
havent watched yet cause im waiting till the weekend when i can actually give this vid my full attention, but i just wanna say i appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos. its genuinely so inspiring as an amateur musican and producer. bon iver is one of my favorite artists of all time too so its awesome you covered him. keep up the great work man!
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!
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!!
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 !
Personally, the sm57 as a drumstick, as a production element, was way more interesting than the 'other youtuber' examples you used. Incredible video, W Flume cover, brother.
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
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
There's nothing more inspiring than seeing another musician/producer showing and teaching about what they are passionate about. Watching this video at 6 am got me inspired to try recording my music after a tough week. Thanks ❤❤❤
I've gotten some questions on the exact time for the Nov 5th deadline. It will be 11:59 ON Nov 5th. 1 Minute shy of November 6th :)
Hey! I was trying to submit, but there’s no submit button after you upload. Is it just automatic?
Did you announce a winner? I haven't been able to find a post. 🙂
@@brandonsmith5807 was wondering the same thing
🤷♂️
@@AudioHaze it’s all good guys, he’s probably just busy. Hard running a channel and listening through everyone’s mixes. Sure he’ll announce soon.
this man puts more work into his videos than anyone else on the internet. criminals should be lucky these are the only forensics you do.
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
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
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.
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.
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 😊
AMANDA!! HI! Yes I would that, send me an email!!
@@AudioHaze sent - hope you enjoy!
This is cool 🤘
ha! how cool.
Wait, could I also get a copy...I would love to read this.
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
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!
35:27 I literally thought these were Justin's stacks and you were gonna show us yours to compare the two - you really nailed those vocal takes
WOW thank you that's crazy to hear!
@@AudioHaze They really sound good man. Well done.
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
jesus christ, the day has come. Thank you bro. This is the one we were waiting for
Yessir!!! Poured my soul into this one, hope it was worth the wait
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
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
@@AudioHaze please do more interviews or a full blown podcast with that guy, loved the conversation.
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!
BANDREW, thank you so much!!! So glad to have your support for all this time my friend :)
finally. you walked the walk. talked the talk. now were there. rad, man.
Yessir!! Appreciate it dude :)
Holy shit a lot of effort was put into this video, respect man
Thanks dude! Glad the effort is visible
Vocals sound amazing! Very impressive my dude
Thanks James!
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
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.

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.
It’s amazing how every new video sets the bar higher
I try! At the expense of upload schedule lol
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…
Dude, great video. I was actually blown away by how similar the final product sounds to the recording on the record.
Tried my best! Lots of A/B'ing between the original and mine to try and dial in the sound :)
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!
Thanks! Yeah my favorite interviews are the ones where the interviewer gets out of the way lol
dang - this is a master class
This video was absolute perfection.

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.
Ive been listening to your cover on your second channel on repeat for about a week! Its insane how close you are to the original track! Its stunning
Thank you so much wow! Definitely took some time and a lot of re-recording to get there
you rocked the vocals man! such an inspirational video.
Thanks so much Daniel!

To be more specific, I find most other channels fall into a few traps. I list them not to put others down but to maybe provide helpful feedback from one viewer's perspective:
1. Flavor of the week gear and plugin reviews
2. Topics that have already been covered many times over
3. Videos that are more concerned with telling a compelling story than providing practical knowledge I can use
4. Knowledge that is interesting but not necessarily super useful
5. Videos with practical tips, but there's one small tip per ten minute video, so it feels like a big time investment for something that could be explained in thirty seconds, and maybe isn't all that useful
6. This one is hard to explain but some channels are too... reverent of certain ideas, gear, or people in music. Like the idea of how great something is is more important than how great it actually is. Does that make sense at all? This is sort of related to #3. Like when you become too enamored with your concept around a song instead of closing your eyes, listening, and seeing if you feel something or not.
Anyway, long story short, I subscribed and hope to see more great content like this from you. Never change!
Thanks my friend! I'm not sure how long you've been watching but I actually started doing content similar to what you are describing! Specifically gear videos and reviews, I personally started not enjoying myself bc it didn't feel like I was accomplishing what I set out to do with my channel, this is much more fulfilling. I'm honestly so honored the audience took the chance so well.
@@AudioHaze I discovered you because of this video and subscribed immediately, so I'm new here! And there's definitely nothing wrong with gear or plugin reviews, it's just hard to stand out from the crowd doing them all the time. I'm sure RUclips isn't easy no matter what kind of content people create, and I have a lot of respect for anyone who's really putting the work in and trying to make something of their channel, regardless of whether the content is relevant to me or not. In this case, you took a risk and worked very hard, and it paid off. Well done!! I'm sure comparing yourself to other channels is part of developing your craft, but please don't let go of your unique ability to unearth really valuable information like in this video.
My favorite channel bro, I always learn so much
Honored my friend!
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.
This is awesome. I can see the amount of work, the research, time and care that went into this. Fantastic work, always an awesome learning experiencing watching your videos- engaging, thoughtfully put together, and genuine.
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 🌿🌿🌿
havent watched yet cause im waiting till the weekend when i can actually give this vid my full attention, but i just wanna say i appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos. its genuinely so inspiring as an amateur musican and producer. bon iver is one of my favorite artists of all time too so its awesome you covered him. keep up the great work man!
Thank you my friend! Yeah check it out when you can, maybe the most work I've ever put into a video :)
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!
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!!
Delivered is an understatement. You put together such an incredible video, and your recreation of flume blew me away.
Thank you so much!
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 !
Personally, the sm57 as a drumstick, as a production element, was way more interesting than the 'other youtuber' examples you used. Incredible video, W Flume cover, brother.
This is amazing, the final cover at the end was so accuracte and easily the closest I've ever hear to Vernon
DUUUUUUUUUDE so good
Awesome job man! Thanks for taking the time of creating excellent quality content. Cheers from Spain!
Cheers from Brooklyn!
This is unbelievable. This isn’t the work of an entertainer, this is the work of a historian. I’m floored
That was amazing you got some of the best music production videos out there 🩷
Thanks so much dude!
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
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
the vocals on this are immaculate, loved this whole video sm
dude i’m blown away by your production on this channel. I’m learning so much and i can’t thank you enough.
There's nothing more inspiring than seeing another musician/producer showing and teaching about what they are passionate about. Watching this video at 6 am got me inspired to try recording my music after a tough week. Thanks ❤❤❤
This is the most precious video since the beginning of youtube. Couldn't thank you more!! Love it is too weak an expression. Thank you!
