Lion's Share: Interview with Kevin MacLeod from Incompetech

[HotForCooking]

1:33 ~ Yes, I did use "Takeover Of The 8-Bit Synths" in one of my videos. Great song! I use Kevin's music in many of my videos. I also donate on his website. Remember to support Kevin so he can keep making great music.

[texasgirly1979]

KEVIN is AWESOME!!!!!!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@texasgirly1979 Thanks for watching!

[bowlingballout]

I always called it in-comp-eh-tech...

----

This guy is a great treasure. I've sent him money in the past, and will again.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@bowlingballout Yea, the play on words was lost on me the first time I read it and has been stuck in my pronunciation ever since.

[jr0dmusik]

he prononounces incompetech so badly!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@jr0dmusik Yea, it's the English degree in me. I originally read it with grammar rules and such instead of with the play on words included. I've done it so many times now it's sort of stuck that way in my vocabulary.

[JermaineParisTV]

MacLeod you are the f*cking best sir! Anytime I can't get in touch with my instrumental beat maker I always go to your site and find exactly what I need! /watch?v=RAi8hxxbFVc

[TheLionsDenNews]

@JermaineParisTV Thanks for stopping by!

[JermaineParisTV]

@TheLionsDenNews You're welcome! I always stop by just to let you know. I'm a channel stalker... lol

[Kie77]

Wow, so that is Kevin MacLeod. His music has been invaluable to me, the quality of what he makes and just gives away is astounding. He seems like a quirky amusing fella too.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@Kie77 Without a doubt! Thanks for watching!

[chickyfinn]

Don't take this the wrong way, but you look good in orange. 

[TheLionsDenNews]

@chickyfinn Ohhh, chicky, is that a come on? Or is that the wrong way to take it?

[chickyfinn]

@TheLionsDenNews Ha, Totally wrong....what I meant to say is not very many people can make prison orange POP. You would be popular!

[noswonky]

So he's actually a real person?

[TheLionsDenNews]

@noswonky Haha, that he is!

[CurrentlyDisconected]

[TheLionsDenNews]

@CurrentlyDisconected Thanks Aaron!

[miles2057]

Winter is now over here in Australia, so summer's coming and that's a good summer for me.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@miles2057 I can't believe our summer is over already, time is just flying by!

[Agriking]

I congratulate you on your year of excellence.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@Agriking Thank you, thank you, thank you :).

[spilsbury1947]

Sir you are truly the greatest interviewer on YouTube by getting this interview. I use Incompetech music on my intro. Andy you are fcuking awesome.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@spilsbury1947 Haha, thanks!

[cheekychickenhead]

His music is everywhere he really is a talented writer.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@cheekychickenhead That's the truth! I'm shocked when people haven't heard of him.

[AnotherDayToMoveOn]

Awesome interview! :) I love your new channel layout! :)

[TheLionsDenNews]

@AnotherDayToMoveOn Thanks Gel, I thought bright and simple would look a bit better!

[JoshRimer]

Oh wow - very cool choice of interviewee! Neat to put a face to the music and get to see his personality. Great interview!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@JoshRimer He's a pretty fun guy, hopefully I'll nab a live one some day!  Thanks Josh!

[OfficialBenP]

Acid Jazz is by far the best Incomptech track! :-) ps...AMAZING new channel design.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@OfficialBenP Thanks Ben. I used a photo I grabbed from the sky the other day with just a couple simple tweaks to the graphics.

[Urgo6667]

I have about 600 videos on this channel alone and I'd say at least 3/4 of those use incompetech music. Kevin provides a great service. I was fortunate to interview him as well a couple year ago on the socialblade show. Glad you were able to get him on here too for an updated interview :)

[TheLionsDenNews]

@Urgo6667 Have you got the footage floating around anywhere? I'd be curious to see how things have changed. And wtf . . . somebody gave this a thumbs down! How can you thumbs down Kevin!

[Urgo6667]

@TheLionsDenNews Attached it as a video response. It was towards the beginning when we had really bad sound and camera switching software.. I think I accidentally did the broadcast over 3g instead of my cable too lol. Anyway the video is watch?v=LL1UtxqKA44

[QuanelleShow]

Great interview Andy! I'm probably one of the biggest Incompetch leeches on YouTube, so it's great to finally put a face to the name, lol. You are the man Kevin!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@QuanelleShow The minute I'm actually earning enough to get checks, Kevin is going to get some lovin'. I haven't regularly used his stuff for quite some time, but it's always the first place I go when I'm in a pinch. I need to freshen up the audio on the channel, I've been using the same beat since Christmas.

[JoshenReborn]

Awesome interview, and thanks for the love. It caught my eye going by slowly in the ticker and at first I thought I was going mad. I discover something new with every vid Andy, keep up the good work!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@JoshenReborn I was wondering if you'd catch that. It's time to bring the ticker back!

[WithOutTheSnowDogs]

Now see, I missed this on my main channel, didn't see it in my sub box at all, but I saw it on this channel!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@WithOutTheSnowDogs And your comment got marked as spam. Gotta love the functionality or lack there of these days.

[Domingo0022IWAY]

So, I finally get to see the man himself! Awesome!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@Domingo0022IWAY Thanks Dom! I have to credit this one to G+, it has landed me a few interviews recently.

[whisperingdoom]

great interview!  been to his site many times - finally put a face and voice with the name!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@whisperingdoom I almost didn't put him on the thumbnail thinking a lot of people would be curious to put the face to the work. How have things been for you lately? Everything all settled from the tornadoes earlier this year?

[RamblinAround]

Kevin is awesome.......I've used his music about 650 times. I hope people appreciate what he does for YT.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@RamblinAround Without a doubt! I'm continually tempted to have him score the show but I doubt I could afford that.

[TheLionsDenNews]

@RamblinAround Without a doubt! I'm continually tempted to have him score the show but I doubt I could afford that.

[mightIsuggest]

Linsey Lohan's sister on crack--ridiculous. FREE MUSIC! I'm going to check that out!

[TheLionsDenNews]

@mightIsuggest Nearly everything is royalty free on his site. He's truly an artist that believes in his ability.
