Is that because he holds back on the info or because he can't explain it properly?
When they ask him about how he makes bass his whole answer is:
"You can make bass from anything, bass is just a tone"

Errr, great. Thanks.
When they ask him about mastering he says:
"I dont know anything about that Im just the software boy"
They whole thing is just awkward and slightly embarassing. He come across as someone with 0% knowledge (which obviously isnt the case) I dont know if he is just uncomfortable talking to a room full of strangers or if he was just wary of giving away too many of his techniques.
Dunno, it was just disappointing. Especially when you compare it to the Mala one for instance where he comes across as comfortable, engaging and knowledgeable.[/quote]
Many successful self taught music producers have worked how the knobs change the sound and how to use the kit without actually understanding how/why it works. I've heard people say stuff of computer music videos which is just completely wrong, it doesn't really matter so long as they keep making good music.
To be fair I'd probably answer the mastering question in a similar way.
