Everything please!! Would love to hear how you connect your sound design to the messages! So stoked to have you back Jon! And this forum is AWESOME!

Come back to SLC!

Your "making of" videos that you used to out out were a big reason I got hooked on your music! Was really cool being able to see your creative process and how stoked you'd be while creating. Would love to see those come back!!

How do you approach creating a live show? Your work carried me through the phase of figuring out how to go about my own concerts. What kind of iems you use? How do you like your iems mixed during the show? (Maybe you have a iem mix of one of your shows?) Do you normally play to the click? Any loops or all the bg voxes are being triggered?

Thank you dude you really did give me a blueprint to becoming the kind of artist I wanted to be - super dope to have a forum like this

Hi Jon. One of my bucket list items is seeing you perform in person, but I worry that since so many of us are so eager to see you, I might not get the chance. I know you’re considering intimate shows, but if you could please at least think about a larger capacity show that we could all have the chance to come to that would be a dream.

All the best,
Derrian

I want to know how you assimilated your self taught production style into the standards and expectations of the industry? Was there a way you did things that got reprimanded by producers/artists you worked with as it was unconventional, and, if so, did you change your approach or keep it unique?

Make a way to filter by posts only from you. I also stay away from social media and I love this concept, but the current layout allows for stuff from you to get lost easily in the shuffle if we aren't checking this constantly.

i would love a behind the scenes on setting this forum up! this is dope!

YEE

You expanding on your sonic approach would be sick. Where do you catch the vibes? Your production style always has this feel that’s set apart from everything else and I love it.

Behind the scenes and some songs from old times, when as u say in JT (1/day for 6 years). We missed a lt of great stuff Jon. Thank you for coming back.

You've been working with so many others artists over the past few years, who would you like to bring in to work with you on your music now?

MelodiesFromAngels

I’d love to hear you talk about your songwriting process and what inspires your lyrics for any and all songs.

Snooze

Sample references would be so fire

What’s it like being a dad? I want good parenting advice that you have or that was passed down to you. I was 15 when I started listening to you, now I’m 27 about to be married in May (Would love to invite you btw). We’re wanting kids in the next couple years and I’m trying to prep mentally & spiritually (and obviously financially).

I've always loved the documentaries showing the making of albums and songs. Please keep them up

Derrian Berry

Insights to your production process beyond the general creative idea of the song would be huge! As you’ve suggested, vocal presets, intentions behind mixing processes, etc.

sixthnick

Will we ever get that song Tangled Webs? Not sure if that’s what it’s called but that’s what I remember from the hook.

Beyond ridiculous to have an opportunity to ask these questions Jon, thank you for creating this

Curious if you can shed some light on how far you take a record before needing to bring in Mix / Mastering Engineers, in context of records like Holy (Justin Bieber), as opposed to a record that you may have mixed yourself like The Definition album.

I've understood from listening to Serban Ghenea interviews that a guy like Max Martin will bring the record to roughly 80% during the production and recording phase, but the last 20% really is dialed in by the experienced ears of engineers.

Separately, I've always been geeked out on your drum programming and sound selection.

JT
Jungle (I still haven't been able to recreate the drum fill on the turnarounds haha)
-Young Gun

I noticed that the programming of All Time Low is really similar to "Wild" by Dilla

I like how you've been able to consistently weave a refreshing take on the triplets rhythm with your songwriting throughout the years. Its just an incredibly pleasant and human experience watching your growth. I've seen it happening since 2015.

Thank you, immensely
Austin
