Certainly, he gets a lot of money because of his music and the people he creates for. Regardless, he says that his real goal is to change the music industry, not just feed off of it.
A very intelligent individual who inspires the artist by designing a musical landscape that caters to personal style and authenticity that works seamlessly. This guy here is a genuine and truthful artist.
Absolutely agree. He is a modern day great who pays attention to detail and who understands while integrity as a producer is great, it is the artist who needs to shine. I have the same type of respect for producer iamProfessorO
40 really HAS TO go down as one of the greatest producers of all time. The information and inspiration in this man is endless. He speaks on things other producers just don't. He literally says everything I believe in when it comes to making music creatively and efficiently.
This dude right here is speaking from 1000s of hours if practice and dedication. Hours of sitting down and figuring our programs and machines. To now he is at the point of being able to create master pieces. I am a producer at heart and know if i really went in I would be good at it however I know what I need to give up in order to get there. I need to go through everything he did. I'm now 37 and am an investment adviser. A quite good one at that. But man deep down i wish I just dived in as a child and gave it my all to producing. Nothing beats the feeling of hearing your final product. No amount of money can buy that feeling.
it only takes like a year to start making good beats tbh (with no music theory) after that it's just learning better ways to mix and make things sound different, it doesn't take as long as you think if you put your heart into it and do it as much as you can.
ENTIDY while this may be true, if you want to make it big as a producer you need connections and possibly a studio. You can only get so far without marketing yourself and befriending as many people as possible
This guy's beats have stayed with me for years. Chill songs and hype but he has a unique sound I can't find in any other it's like being on drugs without drugs for me that's the way I describe his work.
I'm right there with you man. Love what he says about the simplicity. I'm just getting started and am overwhelmed by the idea of trying to make a "full" beat without clutter
ANOTHER UPDATE: I am attached to this video, it seems like I learn something new everytime I see this video 40 IF YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE MESSAGE ME producedbysantos@gmail.com
So much passion for what he does, this guy lives, eats and breathes music production. Seriously, I am jealous. This guy gets to do what he loves for the rest of his life and get paid for it. I don't even know what I am passionate about, but it ain't what I am doing now. Life sucks.
I watch this video ALOT. It's a very laid back type of vibe. Everytime it's cloudy or raining in Memphis I find this video to match the vibe and get inspired.
Met 40 in Mexico 2017 he was sitting in the VIP booth, he saw my toronto hat and told me to come and take a pic and vibe for a minute. Humble and most chill person ive met who has this much fame and power over music production. Much Love 40!
This was a super dope mini-doc into 40's production. Honestly, he's one of the best, and he happens to work with one of the best artists in the game right now, which equals crazy good music. Dope.
this was my teacher years ago, very humble, positive and opened, he gave me a crazy drumkit that I still use up till today lol 40 dun kno brother more life and more success for you and the team
It's really interesting to have watched this twice, the first time when I knew nothing about producing and now where I am actually studying music production, and don't get me wrong I loved this before but I appreciate this so much more now!
Crazy how now it’s the norm to start with the melody for most producers. See a lot of producers call people stupid for starting with the drums even though that’s really how hip hop started. Looping a drum break. Moral of the story is there are no rules to this ish. If it sounds good, then do it. Worrying about what the next dude thinks about what you do is the quickest way to kill your inspiration and creativity
I am following 40s work since So Far Gone and i dont know any producer i like and appreciate more than Mr Shebib. He is a extremly focused, good-minded and creative man and i also heavily credit him for fighting against his illness.
If you listen to "Views" properly or just the instrumental throughout the album you'll see that 40 is an ET, this nigga's production is almost like a fucking rope, listening to songs he's produced holds you for that 3-5 minutes (6... if longer) and you're hooked. "keep the family Close" is one where the introduction of that record, from the laughing to the instruments like i think i heard a trumpet or some cymbals or something and it just f*** flowed straight into drake saying "All of my let's just be friends..."; I swear, He's WAAAAY above above-average!!. That's just one example too
"Simplicity with authenticity at the same time is so difficult. So to make something simple but good is extremely difficult but simple usually translates to real cause there's not to much. It's not overdone. Simplicity factors like:"Hey this is it, this is my heart on my sleeve, this is all I got." Take it or leave it. It's real. This is me. This is us."
My favorite part of Drakes music are sections like at the end of Headlines or the beginning of 30 for 30, and Pound Cake. They have beautiful piano keys and horns and really cool warped lyrics. It sounds timeless and you know its 40 when you hear them. Doesn't have to scream his name or have a repeated ad lib to brand himself in a song.
"This is our army base, offshore that we train for war in, and then when we're ready, we goto war. And no one see's it coming cuz we're not training in front of anybody eyes." So dope & true. Don't talk about it be about it!! Focus on your craft & takeover!! Hope to work w/ 40 one day. Salute #ViBEMusic
I didn't understand a single thing he was talking about in this video yet my mind was still blown just by listening to him talk about his work, you can easily see that his intelligence, creativity and strong work ethic is just on a different level compared to us humans. They don't just be giving Grammy's to people out in the streets..
This man is such an inspiration... I love to hear about anything behind the music. Especially hearing the people who are behind the biggest stars and how they make it hap[en. I plan on opening a studio one day in my hometown of Fayetteville, NC
You can do anything in Fruity Loops that you can in Abelton or Logic, FL has been great for jamming with and recording since before Abelton even existed.
i love this guy’s energy!!!! you know this dude is fucking powerful because he doesn’t hide shit and mince words with interviews and gives his whole fucking sauce. thats cause he knows his worth is more than a few little tricks and he knows there are people watching his moves and trying to be secretive will not help him grow. love this dude
This is a dope lesson in music production and authenticity. There's a lot to be said for "breaking the rules". I always leave the original midi track as is without exporting it into an audio stem. It allows for much more flexibility
damnit, i want to give this one away but it's one of my secret seasonings too. also, i can't fathom how 40 would know to do it bc it involves DIgItAL sIgNAL pROCeSsInG KnOwLEDgE. excuse me, "dgtl sgnl prcsng knoldg". 😉
For anyone wondering what he meant by taking of the top frequency .... he means changing the freq ....like 44100hz to 16100hz ... it makes it sound like you eq it or it slows down your audio in a good way .... just try it an youll see
Whats cool is that on the movie "Virgin Suicides" there was a part where he was playing records, maybe thats where his love for music began? He was so CUTE on that movie. Dude was fIne!
He was dead on about placing the music b4 the drum patterns; Though most producers like to embed the drum pattern first! He's definitely one to study for production insight
+Yung Kaotic I think it depends on your approach. You definitely can benefit by doing melodies first if your track is more melody-driven, which a lot of their music is.
+Yung Kaotic I think some producers who do the drums first are more for that old school hip hop sound, they just want a good beat to go in on. I personally do whatever sounds the best first or whatever I have an idea for the song first and create it on from there, whether it be a synth or a sample.
"This place is here to make history, it's not here to make money." 40 is real.
Af
That quote resonated with me as well.
+Jorge P Bet he gets alot of money from native instruments for this video.
Certainly, he gets a lot of money because of his music and the people he creates for. Regardless, he says that his real goal is to change the music industry, not just feed off of it.
+Simon Åberg Ya, but, it's not like he's getting Mcsponsored. NI is dope, they make amazing software and interfaces
I love producers. They deserve more respect because that shit's hard
JahReviews Damn true.
Facts
Hell yea this shit is. Just started and already confusing as fuck
90% of every hit is the producers work. I'm glad producers get the shine they deserve nowadays.
Tropical99 they do get more but not enough that they deserved
And you wonder why Drake is keeping 40 to himself lol. 40 isn't just a producer, the man is a real scientist. what an inspiration
would you really share your golden ticket? Plus remember 40 is his live engineer for concerts too.
He is a great sound engineer and is very technical.
He makes simple and effective music
A scientist indeed
Gentle nod to the scientist.
40 is Drake
Drake is actually a duo. There is no Drake as we know him without this man
40’s not just a producer. He is indeed an artist.
Producers are artist in general bruh
Producer, Artist, Engineer, Sound Designer & Computer Scientist 👀🎹

I've seen this video multiple times and it still hasn't gotten old.

So why there's no other artist on ovo?

So much passion for what he does, this guy lives, eats and breathes music production. Seriously, I am jealous. This guy gets to do what he loves for the rest of his life and get paid for it. I don't even know what I am passionate about, but it ain't what I am doing now. Life sucks.

check out canadian producer Digi hendrix 3000.. dudes a beast.

That's what made drake different, he takes chance and try different things unlike other rappers who are stuck in one way
I watch this video ALOT. It's a very laid back type of vibe. Everytime it's cloudy or raining in Memphis I find this video to match the vibe and get inspired.
40 is Dr. Frankenstein and Drake is the Monster.
Someone give this guy a gold medal

I'd love for him to mentor me
Ace Beats - Have you thought about asking. Cos' most people who would "like " something never actually ask. What have you got to loose?
And he does all of this with multiple sclerosis. Such a humble, intelligent, and talented dude.
Met 40 in Mexico 2017 he was sitting in the VIP booth, he saw my toronto hat and told me to come and take a pic and vibe for a minute. Humble and most chill person ive met who has this much fame and power over music production. Much Love 40!
Remember what y’all talked about?
I love his “it’s not hard” approach to music making.
everything is easy if you know what your're doing.
Dude has a calm and clear mind, genius producer. His tip on degrading the sample rate to give a sampled feel is straight knowledge.
40 is my inspiration.
defo anyway nice music

40 and metro
40 and iamProfessorO for sure. Both bringing something completely different to the table

40 will always be my favorite producer just for his personality
+scirazzbrehh man
personality doesnt make a good producer. its his intellegence. dumbass.
He’s on my top ten
I have no idea wtf he’s talking about but it works
Everyone has a hard on. You and me are actually paying attention. Yeah he’s talented but I don’t know shit bout producing lol
this was my teacher years ago, very humble, positive and opened, he gave me a crazy drumkit that I still use up till today lol 40 dun kno brother more life and more success for you and the team
Anyone looking for a female singer in Toronto, holla at me. Hear my vocals on my latest song, 'All I See Is You'.
40 is focusing on making timeless records, truly a genius
I could listen to this guy talk about the production process for hours. Makes sense with all the success he's been having. Intelligent guy.
+irunthepeg Watch his interview at Pensado's Place
Hahaha I've had that loaded up for a week, just have to get around to watching it!
40 is one of the best producers in the business
+Will Legendxry ""the best one

Keep up the good work 40
It's really interesting to have watched this twice, the first time when I knew nothing about producing and now where I am actually studying music production, and don't get me wrong I loved this before but I appreciate this so much more now!
40 is One Of The Best & Underrated Producer. Drake is Lucky to Have Him. 🔥
Both amazing. Wish they could create take cares and nothing was the same, every week
He is not underrated he is rated how he should be
I could listen to this man talk for hours
I wish this was at least 3 hours longer. This dude is nice with it.
+Eibon Music Thats an understatement my man.

40 didn't produce KTFC
noah made maybe one or two beats on Vieaws
I'm going to be honest I didn't like half the lyrics in views
Not sure if Noah's been much help with the lyrics since the meek mill drama but if that is the case I see the real star...
Noah didn't produce keep the family close

This guy is not just a music producer, he's a sound engineer
This is the dream job, toured by a dream producer. Good job on putting Canada on the Hip Hop and musical map constantly
I went to high school with 40, he was always cool, actually he was in my civic class.
Holy Drug Lord🔼 man tell me about it. I'm a toronto rapper. bro I need huge industry help too.
james arizaga that says about u a lot that YOU will never be anything in life bcs u don't believe in urself or anyone else. Such a horrible mentality.
Holy Drug Lord🔼 late asf but 40 doesn’t work with any other artist and that’s from his mouth lol
he worked with action bronson
lol but he definitely work with Party all the time
40 is so epic..., and from a technical aspect he is on another level.

dang 40 sounds really smart you can tell hes ahead of the game.

A blessing to hear someone explain their process so clearly and precisely without apple saucing it. The real deal.
I watch this at least once a month, because this is one of the producers I look up to the most.
This guy is a genius, if every producer and sound engineer was like him things would be different in the music industry.
This is a dope lesson in music production and authenticity. There's a lot to be said for "breaking the rules". I always leave the original midi track as is without exporting it into an audio stem. It allows for much more flexibility
He's doing more than just sample rate cutting. That would sound ruff as hell.

You can feel the passion 40 has for creating music.... sound. That's what you call..Producing!!
For anyone wondering what he meant by taking of the top frequency .... he means changing the freq ....like 44100hz to 16100hz ... it makes it sound like you eq it or it slows down your audio in a good way .... just try it an youll see
thanks bro!
Alot of industry producers are switching up the sample rate of the audio, cutting out specific frequencies and gives amazing effects
@@ŻETÅŞQUÆD is it something that was there before, First time I got introduce to that “low filter & underwater sound” was through 40 .
40 is such a legend... inspired the sound behind my beats
I literally can watch this everyday. So much knowledge , lock me in the studio with him I wanna learn from one the best. Much respect.
Drake givin‘ this man so much credit for a reason!
Was this filmed inside of a church ? Dude was preaching throughout the whole video...
I'm so grateful that I live in the same world as 40 & Drake

Noah ‘40’ coz of you I have decided for once that I will be a producer and an taking it seriously thank you for your inspiration
he knows his stuff, very inspirational 👌🏽

+Yung Kaotic I think it depends on your approach. You definitely can benefit by doing melodies first if your track is more melody-driven, which a lot of their music is.
Very true. Depends on the approach of the beat itself as well ;)
I can't even do the drumbeat first. it has to be the sounds first.
there's the only way i been making music since i was 10
+Yung Kaotic I think some producers who do the drums first are more for that old school hip hop sound, they just want a good beat to go in on. I personally do whatever sounds the best first or whatever I have an idea for the song first and create it on from there, whether it be a synth or a sample.
Nah 40 is something different. You can tel he’s a real one. And that’s why him and drake are at where there at. Gotta love it
I had the chance to sit in this studio.. Noah is so special. Can’t wait to see what he does next.
