Have you thought about going back to old tutorials and doing a reaction video where you talk about what you would do different, now that you’ve updated and simplified your process? For example, if you aren’t using as many plugins on a vocal chain, explain why you wouldn’t follow the same process. Just so we can see what you learned from analyzing an old workflow and what you changed moving forward.
Can't lie man, this was one of the most refreshing, conversational, no-nonsense interviews I've seen in a while. Even LJ was more "serious" than normal lol (he be funny af tho frfr). This one was full of gems and perspective that reminds us, "keep it simple". It's okay to be "in the box" or not have a $20,000 vox chain at the crib lol. Thank y'all so much man. I just pulled an all-nighter at my studio in Miami and came straight home to watch you guys. Much appreciated to everyone on the cast and involved.
Infectious Riddims will have you moving. That is what it is about. You don’t have to know what they are saying.
I seriously feel having a $20,000 vocal chain is totally ridiculous. Only the gear nerds would 🤔 see it differently. Devon is the biggest gear nerd. He is so infatuated. 😂😂😂😂😂 good podcast.
Metric AB he is so right
Thank u so much for this comment
Man of course! I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for this platform. From the bedroom, to Full Sail, to international client lists, off the strength of older HMD vids. Y'all goated and need to pat yallselves on the back more frfr. @@HelpMeDevvon
If you are a sound engineer learning from Nigeria 🇳🇬 let’s link up and share knowledge
What do you wanna learn?
@@solomonjoachim7157I want to learn how to master and keep my mix exciting but not too harsh or overcompressed.
I’m Here
I greet my people
❤
Respect to Amapiano! that log drum has gone places and still elevating! Love from SA
Facts
Water sounds like afro beats more than amapiano though. But s/O from a half south african Malawian!
@@famousmwofficial8046 log drum was made popular by amapiano, a sound which is incorporated in Water. Amapiano deserves recognition, even if it’s the most passive of mentions that’s all.
@famousmwofficial8046 not true is afro house and Anapiano log drum, you can't do barcadi dance except on Amapiano sound hope you learning something new
@@afrikawewant5390 it's a yamaha dx7 log drum not ana amapiano log drum 😂 and its afro piano. That shit was even produced by a Nigerian I don't think they make pure amapiano because south african amapiano doesn't sound as musical or maybe it's the sa amapiano jams that reach my ends.
Wooow.. this podcast will be the reason why I won't stop my engineering journey.. Shout out to everyone for this man..
U guys are dope 🤞🏿❤️🤞🏿
So fire to see you brothers sitting talking shop man. This is one of the illest podcast ever. You guys are doing the Muse work man. I hope you guys are proud of what you are doing man. This is fire.

No way Soco was recorded on a AT2020, that's actually crazy.
That mic sounds amazing for the price tag
@@AdamSki.45that’s also true

Billie Eilish Ocean Eyes was recorded on the AT2020 too
Uad sounds freaking amazing! I’m keeping uad all day!

Intellectual analysis of music chemistry and combustion. This is refreshing!
Damn he mixed essence too ! Such a great mix !
What😮you guys know these songs,I’m a Jamaican in Canada, love this I’ve learned a lot from you guys.
@49:00 All the storage seems to be because 4k-8k footage is massive in size. Some of these companies are already ready for or are currently doing VR, which will probably need more power for the CPU as well.
Shout out to you L Jean... love from Nigeria
i catch u boss..............
i catch u boss..............
LOVE YOU GUYS!!
8years ago I saw your channel . I didnt understand what your talking about. Its not your fault because my knowledge about producing what at that time really bad. Since a few months a follow your channel and in happpy because your information Im improving a lot . Thank you
Great work guys!
Love these interview eps
51:15 Crazy pause on that Dev! 🤣
Oh damn I’ve been vibing sooo hard to this song since I heard it a week ago. Can’t wait to listen to this.
Great episode guys!
ReaperGang in this bihh

Nobody Haffi Know was 2013 😭😭😭 7:45. The Jamaican mixes are peak

Life changing episode thank you
LOVED THIS EPISODE, LOVE DRO'S ENERGY
26:41 someone gotta make that a Meme
LJ always smilin for no reason
I really enjoyed this. Shout out to this podcast
That talk about metric AB is so real. Once you get over your ego and accept that you just sound bad compared to others everything changes
exxactly that feeling in mixing/mastering...
This dude seems like one of the few real ones in the industry.
This is a super interesting Podcast love it ❤
Sorry LJ i was was like "YESS DEVON THNAK YOU!!!" Lol 😂
Watching u from Ghana 🇬🇭
Amazing episode! 👌🏼👌🏼❤
Audionerds Salute!!
Easily one of the best podcasts hands down
I love how you say "I love those transients. What did you do?" And he was like "I panned it." lol
Panning gives space for the transients of other elements, took me a while to understand😂 these guys are on Einstein's level of thinking
@@iamwick3dest350I think we overthink everything when we should be doing the basic stuff first.
@@iamwick3dest350When I listen to music, I don't generally think "Oh, those transients are fire!"
@@metawoofer LMFAO!!!
Realist gems 💎🇿🇲we here!
51:17 I’m crying 😭
Bro your studio is fire!!!
Yooooooooooo!!!!!! That we don’t have gear in Africa? N that Wizkid has to come to you for a Sony mic? Sheeeeeesh!!! He did that purely from a brand perspective not a quality or technical thing bro!!! From minute 9 to around 13 you guys are tripping!!!
Loved this 👏🏽
Yo where did they talk about "water"? did i just miss it? 😩
Amapiano Gang We Up!
bro, I listened to Asake's LunguBoy and bro, the mix was hittingggg🥹 I said to myself "I gotta step my shit up!"
First of all ,thank you so much! You guys have amazing energy which I love about you,but it'll be better if control it & try not to interrupt the person you invited...just please let him talk until he got nothing to say.Thanks again
Very good interview here!
S/O 2 DRO and the entire Audio Nerds Team 💯 - FL Gang -
Yessir, Good EP
My song Faith (on my channel) was mixed with Sony Acid Pro. That DAW changed my life and helped me become a better engineer
Mac Studio with the carrying case from Amazon is amazing. I take it back forth from my commercial space to the house like it’s a MacBook lol
thx for this
big up Bro for me feeling is it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope episode
whats a great ep, i would of been awesome to have the artist in the room for this ep
the sauce of the ep is DRO breaking down it all you not plugins
Looooooooooooovvvvveeeee this episodeee
Dro 🔥
Plugin Alliance Black Box HG2-MS is crazy but Waves Magma BB Tubes is >.
Love your content but can we please get time stamps to individual questions.
This is what everyone should sink in at @ 25:25
plz put on some dancehall producers
you can absolutely record in virtual dj. i made my first beat with samples that way 😂😂😂
Incredible video
workflow vs. sonics is a paradox question.
What does "in the box" mean?
all in the computer, not using any outboard gear
@@kierank.meadows9499 Thank you🙏
Using mostly plugins instead of hardware compressors and eq and other hardware gear
I am here because Wizkid
O MY RHIS IS MY GUY METRIC AB SAVED MY LIFEEE THAT IS IT
Sometimes it’s easy to be mind-boggled on how engineers get their drums to hit like their favorite records but never take into account sound selection
Woooow there’s somebody else who used Sony Acid Pro! lol I haven’t heard that in YEARS
Wiz does not need to travel to the US to get access to quality equipment. There are huge studios in Africa, like Mido Studios(Mido Productions)
Then why did he come to the states? Don’t argue with us go argue with wiz kid lol
15:13 I had to lay a comment here now .. big up to everyone on this pad cast it jot an fresh I love engineering also...want to be in future I'm from Jamaica
What Dre is say is so true about the mix culture an what the future of the street is looking for now...
38:00 genelec sam's do that for me
lmao he was like, the secret “trick” is being honest with yourself…does waves sell a clone of that??
it's hard to watch professionals just not talk about "Water" being way too distorted. whoever did the master should be held accountable.
I wrote to Colin Leonard the Mastering Engineer regarding the distortion ... exactly what you said ... no reply ...
