I still can't believe that beyonce can get applause when she isnt even in the room! now THAT is what I call a true virtuoso vocalist
I find myself giving her a standing ovation in my own house with no one around. She's just that damn great at this
Zerius B I relate to you on a spiritual level😂😂
@@zxb5998I run around screaming “woooooo” randomly 😂😂😂
watching this makes me want to be a fly and secretly watch all Beyoncé's studio sessions. Am I the only one?
Makes me wonder why millennial ghosts aren't hunting her.
Fuck up
Breyonna Morgan shutcho ass up
Breyonna Morgan cuz that Creole voodoo is strong... I’m sure Beyoncé either has a thousand ancient spirit warriors protecting her or 7 divine beings watching over her 😭
@@goldeneye3100 she said, 'ancestors on the wall let them ghost chit chat' 🤣 and she charges her 'crystals in a full moon, you can send those missiles' she'll send her goons... She might've meant the beyhive tho🥴
I wish Beyoncé would do a documentary on her recording process of her albums. I know there’s footage out there 😩
She has footages of Beyoncé self titled on her UA-cam channel and she has footage of her recording some songs from 4 in her documentary life is but a dream.
Blue Ivy got the keys to the vault and she ain’t lettin us in! 🤣
@@1no435that doesn’t count because that album is vocally uninspiring .. also people are talking about how she comes up with her background vocals and want to hear each harmony as she records them
this video should be seen by all those people who think Beyoncé is just an entertainer or a cute little face who can dance on stage. She is such a professional singer and a vocalist. People should recognize this from her.
babyumagic Namely Carlos Santana
exactly, you got it hahaha
Period!! 💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@llllamagggglama4104 what? Santana shades on Beyonce?
@@llllamagggglama4104 so is he implying Beyonce is good and bad at the same time 😑
"The vocal is always on point! She never uses autotune!" #beyhivecomfirmed
Tyrone Adams he signed a contract to keep his mouth shut for some shit
Magda Draganova why can't her vouch be just that good?
Erica Windear Haters never believe someone is naturally talented and well trained to excel at something...
Erica Windear I mean she literally has vocal receipts of her singing with no mic...
This video didn’t age well tho (*I know she only uses it for effect but still*)
Edit: read
Her background vocals are so complicated and they have this Arabic infused sound. She is brilliant
Antonio Jjohnson Prince says she knows a lot about mixolydian and Egyptian scales
OMG her mimicking the guitar solo at 30:00 floored me bruh
"Somebody has the final call and with her (Beyoncé) it's usually not the producer" Ha ha ha priceless
+borgtennis The label makes the final call over everybody.
Shes the head of Parkwood (her label) so that would be her
Jordan Williams
Word.
Jordan Williams 😂😂😂😂😂
Jordan Williams FACTS! Anyone paying attention knows Beyoncé has been in full control for quite sometime...she's on that level.
I like how he's like, "She's never using auto tune, never using Melodyne," Technology has made us lazy... She's frickin amazing and pure talent. We've lost that a little bit in this day in age.
These hour long lectures with producers are excellent! Keep em going!
The vocal goddess of her generation.
The way Beyoncé got me crying for imitating a guitar. Incredible.
You guys don't understand...when "4" came out, for a good year I could not get past this song "I Care." It was on repeat and I desperately wanted it to be a single. So to get to have this virtual master class with DJ Swivel is so astounding. Literally hearing those backgrounds and harmonies a capella made me feel like I had church for the day.
I am so hungry. If there are any producers reading this and need a vocalist please hit me up. This is so inspiring, I feel like finally someone understands my obsession with this record.
I know I’m a year late lol but SAMEEEE HERE. I MADE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY LITERALLY HATE THIS SONG LOL. I WASNT EVEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WHEN IT CAME OUT BUT I LOOOOOVE THIS SONG. I AM SO GLAD U FEEL THIS LIKE I DO‼️
I can’t stop playing the live version of I Care from her Coachella show, that she could so closely recreate the studio vocal on stage after doing a number of other songs and complicated, physical dance steps really, really speaks to Beyoncé’s talent level.
I care and start over were it for me. I was like do people understand this woman is singing
I watch the DVD ALL THE TIME. this and I rather die young be on repeat.

30:25, 31:17, 33:00, and 35:21
Taylor Cope bless you!
❤️🐝👏
Your the real MVP
Bless you!
Bless you, dear!
Working with Beyoncé must be such a huge thing ! She knows what she wants and knows how to do it ! those harmonies are amazing ! Working with this kind of vocals with a big artist today is difficult !
The sweet Chris its alot of work but not difficult
Juan Polanco he literally said it took them 6 months to work on only ONE song and she always have ppl flying from all over the world to eork with her ??🤔🤦🏼♀️ y u ppl always shit on her
Im the sauce to jacksons Chickenwang people love to discredit her its not new 🤦🏾♀️
I come back to this video every few years to listen to those clean vocals. I wish there were more breakdowns of Beys songs, especially her most recent songs.
Tempest1816 same, need more of these sessions.
sameeee
Obviously same, lol, but this channel is as close as we’ll get to that:
ua-cam.com/video/8WM4E_ELyao/v-deo.html
He does a great job.
35:56 - that was fire on both Beyoncé and the engineer's part.
Bey's vox guitar emulation on the bridge @ 30:25 is simply marvelous...WOW...good Lord she knocked it...GONE!
George Benson typeness on a pop/gospel/grunge/operatic tip...well done!
I dig Swiv's engineering techniques...good stuff here all throughout.
Hymn
i. Am Hymn that was insane
Beyoncé is just... Incomparable. Every single song of hers has vocals. Even her rap songs have harmonies. Flawless, a trap song, has operatic hidden vocals. So crazy
I don't understand anything in the video but I love Bey and always wondered how she produces her songs. Only word I recognized in the whole video was hertz 😂😂😂😂
22:56 *SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!!*
BEYONCE. YES. GOD
That Countermelody @35:50 tho!!!
Beyoncé is just amazing
Student: how is Beyonce so hot.
Guy with mic: "thats a good question"
When was that said??? I missed it haha
Those Harmonies!! lord have mercy. Those are straight from God
Mannnn her vocals can send me straight to heaven lol and I love the ending.
""Awe I was finna ask about Beyonce" lol
Sooooo the vocals are always perfection, everything else has to come up to her level lol wow....
Good gosh dude what she did with that guitar solo was ssssssiiiiiiccccccckk
King Bey
I was there!...And it was amazing. I'm a proud Full Sail Student. ^_^
LARE'L JAY do you work as an engineer? If you do can you send me your email?
@@gymshoe23 follow-up, did she sent the email or too little too late 😄?
Romain Rutayisire too late😂
THEM HARMONIES!!!
"I think we call that takin it to church, right?" Lol!😭 Beyonce's vocals literally sent chills thru me! Just beautiful!😍
35:49 is crazyyyyyyyy!!
I can't stop listening to this part yo it's so beastly
Deonte Baker quick to play. O. To. 100.
Deonte wea your. Money. Litle. Girl go to
Bed. &get. Some. Sleep
Her ear is unmatched
Vocal Goddess!!!+ Her work ethic is amazing. She's a true legend.
Every time I watch this I HAVE to go listen to "I Care"!! lol
"I don't know if this is interresting" Dah !!!!! I could listen to this all day and do music after
The Beyoncé section that went viral from this video starts at 30:27. You’re welcome.
30:22 BEYONCÉ IS THE VOCAL BIBLE
My favorite part is the entire bridge.. From 34:00 and the way she mimicked the guitar
I know this is about him, but I’m super impressed with Beyoncé!!!
The Baritone Sax 🎷sounds amazing!!!
When she mimicked that guitar I had to stop what I was doing and just sit there and appreciate it. Wow. The talent is on another level.
IM HOLLERING AND IVE HEARD THIS SONG A MILLION TIMES
Host: "I think they writing down your settings"
Swivel: "They can... is not going to help them"
lol
They don't help as in plug n play in your mix and they'll totally work for your song. But they're good for understanding what the preset maker is going for. Sometimes if I'm stuck... I'll load up a preset and just see what they would do... And then I adjust from there
After 7 years and I still go back to watch this 🥰
Great interview! Much better than the Rhiana session engineer. This have me confirmation I'm doing a lot of things right.
Confirmation bias
Information bias
Queen harmonies
THÈ QUEEN OF MUSIC 😍😍😍
I wish some artist like Beyoncé would release songs that they didn’t put on albums and just tell them hey studio sessions only no judgement. But with her I doubt there would be any disappointments.
Thumbs up if you still here 2018 checking out this dope mix by DJ Swivel
Lol That was me that was finna ask about Beyonce Sexy Self… LMAO #FullSailU #MyFullSail
this is a GREAT video for taking notes on how to record a mix down r&b vocals
I'm not a Beyonce fan, but 30:37, what a gift that woman has!
You should become a fan lmao it’s never too late
I was there! Im loving this
Omg the sax at 21:49 and piano at 18:44 sound SOOO good! You barely even notice them on the record, especially the piano. And don’t get me started on the vocals cause I have no words lol
Beyonce’s voice mimic of the guitar starts about 30:27
4 was such an amazing album wow
But sHeS OvEraTeD! 🙃
Amazing vocals.
Beyonce is the TRUTH!!!!
YAS, BEY!

Learn your plugins kids
4-5 lead vocals and then comp
-8 hours trying to find the right bass tone. my god.
-he does alot of vocal volume automation on her vox
-throw delays
-4 part harmony with 4 different parts
Beyonce album 4 is my favorite ablum
30:54 summed it up the most accurate accuracy lol
great mix!!
wooaah when she sung that guitar solo🤯
Right!?
Omgg; LEGENDARY 👑👑👑
That was my 1st vocal chain back in 2005. 737 into an 1176. Priceless!
thanks again!
fuck it up bey !!!
One day I'm going to be just like this man! Worth ethic when it comes to the background story is crazy! Very motivational.
🧡 You got this!
He said she really is the best
Me :I know 👑🐝
She does it all!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
A powerhouse in the industry! Who are some of your favorite artists at the moment? 😊
What are some of your favourite Beyonce songs?
Love Drought
''That's a good question''
I love how he’s able to find certain instruments to get that particular feel and vibe very creative
It's really incredible!
very impressive lesson
Wow!!!
Real music ppl can feel that even on my headphones
great video
do u eq vocals????? lmao man ur blessed to be around literally a top dog in the industry and i hear that wow
Good question
Beach boys (wrecking crew) did the baritone thing on pet sounds a lot. Double bass too...
It's really amazing that he had that opportunity to work with Beyonce I dream of this how he mixed them drums an her vocals are exquisite the base sax really made it pop just amazing 👏
Right? Are you a big Beyonce fan?
@@fullsailuniversity yes I am indeed
Got the chance to record a session for a female vocalist at Universal Music Publishing in Fulham... They also used an Avalon 737 and I was hand automation the gain input just like he mentioned at 27:40
OMG WOW
WOWOWOWOWOW
Had to learn 35:51-36:11
Me too 💀 breaking it down rn
First time seeing DJ Swivel in action, I’m impressed.
He is a legend! 🙌
There is a shootout between an Avalon 737 mic pre and a Warm Audio Tone Beast, and the Warm Audio had more compliments than the Avalon. That Tone Beast Realllllyyyy sounds GREAT!!!!! And its only a third of the price of the Avalon. I heard the shootout via UA-cam, and was blown away!!!! There is also a shootout between Warm Audio's Wa76 and an original 1176, and Warm kept up with the original like no other clone I've heard. Seriously!!!!
I’ve watched this at least 4 times. I need help lol
this sound so complex so complicated so difficult so hard to accomplish so there's no easy way to do this
Yeah! at 20:00 if it does not fit, you must quit! lol. A lot of times whenever I use an 808 Kick, I don't use an actual bass line or a riff. Or either I do and add different plugins and effects to alter the sound.
Shades of Brent with the host talking over him...
I'd ask about those red clips on the SSL level meters, I mean is it OK? is like "analog" clip or it wasn't like that in the final session?
Because a lot of people suggesting the beginners to avoid any software clip/overdrive through their channels/bus/chains
If I had a nickel for every good question...
confidence level evolved from his 2012 interview
Facts. No more u know
These students head-shaking looool :-D
Check out this guy Raz Klinghoffer's mixes... Pretty loud and clear
