That was a very good video.

 

[J_Bass]

Good information.

Yeah, you should know all of that, if you play bass. It's bass 101, pretty basic, but valuable information.

 

[The Owl]

The point about eq-ing was VERY helpful to me.

Yeah, that one I didn't know to that detail, too, ahah! You're always learning!

 

[Joe Nerve]

I'm amused by how the play button totally covers up the B in BASS on my screen.

And now I'll watch the video.

 

[Joe Nerve]

That was a great video.

Every bass player should watch it.

Every musician should watch it.

I've watched several of his videos. One of the better music-related resources on the 'Net in my opinion...knowledgeable, well-spoken, and, as far as I can tell, humble/non-condescending/non-arrogant...

 

[J_Bass]

Yes, his channel is very good.

That's spot on.

I really like that about him. You can tell he loves music, by the way he talks.

I like his perspective of music. I'm a fan of real music, played by real musicians and without over editing and perfecting on the computer. So is he, gladly.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

That "Era of Perfect Music" video is one of his that I've watched recently.

I'm not particularly experienced/educated in recording, but that video was really an eye-opener...I was (am) aware that, in the era of digital recording, things are infinitely more "tweakable" than back in the day...but at what cost?

I guess that's at least one of the reasons why stuff from the 1970s and 1980s sounds so good to me...not just that it's the music I grew up with, and not just that it was recorded, for the most part (or completely) on old-school/analogue gear, but the fact that even if they wanted to, they didn't have the capability to tweak n' polish it to the point that it became borderline sterile...

This video is great, Rick Beato too. The EQ tips are awesome.

 

[Hambone70]

Hugely knowledgeable, passionate about music. Very entertaining, useful, and interesting.

 

[scuzzy]

His breakdown of "superstitious" was very good, I learned a lot. Had no idea Stevie played the drums too.

On another planet, his breakdown of a tool song was great as well.

 

[RumbleMan3]

Just finished the video

MOST of that I already knew, but the way he explains it, it's just dang good information for bass players and producers (and really any other musician... seriously it NEVER hurts to learn the ins and outs of other instruments too, trust me on that!)

Instant Sub

This guy is now right up there with Adam Neely for me, but I feel his information is actually a little more relevant to me. Nonetheless both are master teachers and musicians in their own right and will watch both.

 

[flannel cat]

ill be digging into more of his vids,,,even though some of it goes over my head ill take what ever I can grasp and hopefully I can one day crack the code on the stuff I don't.

 

[wintremute]

I watched that this morning. I was wondering when it would get posted on TB. Great video. And, I am a fan of the dude.

Ditto his "How Computers Ruined Rock Music". It's depressing though.

Love this video!

I freakin’ love Rick Beato! I learn something useful every time I watch one of his videos.

I would really like to meet him, or even better get to work with him some day.

 

[HubbardsFate]

Ditto his "How Computers Ruined Rock Music". It's depressing though.

I think that's the video I'm thinking of (ie., I watched that video before "Era of Perfect Music"), but his "Era of Perfect Music" video touched on pretty much the exact same stuff...
