How a Grammy Winning Producer Thinks - RecordingRevolution.com

This video is taken from Jacquire King's in-depth online course on record making. Inside his course, Jacquire walks you through each step of the record making process, teaching you recording, producing, mixing, and more from the perspective of a Grammy-winning producer.

Jacquire King is a 3-time Grammy-winning producer who's worked with artists such as Kings of Leon, James Bay, Tom Waits, Norah Jones, KALEO, and many others.

The thing I learned as a home recording producer is you really do have a lot of roles and you learn everything as you go. You'll never know everything no matter who you work with. I've worked with a lot of artists and everyone works differently and you have to adjust yourself with the artist. There is no one way of recording. We all have flaws, we learn at different levels. At the end of the day, we love what we do.

Creating a vibe for the artist is super important.

I needed this this morning. I make rap beats and I’ve taken on the challenge of producing for a folk/gospel singer-songwriter. I’ve never done this before. First time is later today. I am most likely going to fail. I was so nervous earlier that I almost called him to cancel lol. After watching this, I am more motivated to give it a shot. Wish me luck!

Wow what an inspirational video. Jacquire is explaining his experiences in such a humble and honest way. He rly comes across as a phenomenal teacher. Teaching an overall mindset of how to approach things instead of getting lost in technical details on a way to expensive analog compressor which most of us wont be able to afford anyways. Very nice. Thanks Graham.

I think the most important thing he mentioned for me as an artist was maintaining the integrity of the music. Hearing the passion and inspiration behind a take and making it work as much as possible for that reason alone even if you want to re-record the part.

Thank you RecordingRevolution.com and Jacquire King. These great pieces of advice from such a huge producer are truly informative and motivating.

Some times flaws are the best thing about the song. Because they are not flaws at all, they are humanizing the music and the project. If a song is too technically perfect as far as following "Rules, " it has no soul and a heart.

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear this. Sometimes I get frustrated with myself when I hit a wall and don't know the solutions to achieving certain results. I understand that to be successful I need to continue growing and being patient. Thank you kindly.

One of my biggest gripes about today's productions is the ability and over doing when correcting things, especially vocals. You hear a lot of Pop records where they use the same chorus copy and pasted 3 x and the record loses interest after a few listens. It's the subtle differences/flaws that add to longevity. Knowing when to fix something or not, copy it to another sections etc. with computers is important.

[SteveWatsonMusic]

[Pearlpassionstudio]

Excellent tutorial. Have a Puremix subscription and follow your work in the studio, Great job.

He is right, the artist and inspiration is more important than a say disturbance you detect at 145.76 hz at low end or something

[michaellarsen]

You are a huge inspiration mate! Thank you for sharing !

[officialWWM]

What I got from this video. I still have so much to learn...

[aminam]

Could you please make an in depth video about minidisc recording?

Like live (gig) recording, practise and home recording. Or recording on the go, because this is still the best engineerd device till this date. You can record professional on the go.

Even lossless if you use a HI-MD unit.

Nice interview, great insights, advice

[TheBawss]

This is key advice, very insightful thanks a lot!

Good about being informed about current music trends, and its okay not knowing everything. I have opened up to the idea of producing individuals that you may not like or agree to i.e trap artist. I dont like the genre but if the mesage is of substance then I can produce this kind of artist.

[SantaAnaCreations]

Ive only got 20 years in this, my mindset and work ethic is just like his but yet i still have never gotten the opportunity to even get close to working on a Grammy nominated or winning project. Its just so draining.
