    I absolutely love hearing him talk. He's such an inspiring and down to earth person. So without pretence and ego. The simplicity in his process just shows how much of a genius he is. ❤

    He's inspirational with his honesty; who else would admit to putting together a track mainly using laptop speakers.

      I do all the time... 99% of people listen to music on 💩 devices in 💩 environments. So why wouldn't producers spend more time referencing on the same mediums most people use?

      he said, "laptop speakers lying around on the table..." so it sounds like he uses a bluetooth speaker with his laptop, not the built-in laptop speakers

      No way he is using a Bluetooth speaker, unless it’s pretty sophisticated, due to latency

      I still don’t see how one could confidently choose sounds when referencing on laptop speakers. Sure you can hear the high frequencies but you have no idea how the low end sounds????

    He kept coming into my radar and I finally sat down and listened to his stuff. And now listening to him speak, it all makes sense. He's so intentional and emotional about this music. I can't stop listening to "Loved".. so beautiful. Thanks for this video.

    That was great to listen to. He has such a great sense of melody and structure, simple but so effective... and then the way he explains obsessing about the sound for months after that... that combination really is what makes his music special. So many great SOUNDS on his records that keep you immersed.
