Technique with Grammy Winning Producer / Mix / Mastering Engineer Mike Dean - Pensado's Place
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- This week Dave geek's out on the technique his dear friend and musical mastermind, Mike Dean applied in the studio when working on Travis Scott's "Astroworld", "Ye" - Kanye West, "The Carters" - Jay Z & Beyoncé - and much more.
We also dive into the production mind of this multi-instrumentalist who says he would be nothing without his knowledge of music theory thanks to his piano teacher. This is jus the tip of the iceberg with this guy. You're at The Place!

"i mastered Watch The Throne with one ear"
-Mike Dean
Miguel Hernandez cap
Miguel Hernandez sorry but that’s one of his greatest albums 🚫🧢

Mike sounds like he has an grossbeat on his throat

lol
he high as hell
@Taylan Boztas 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1/8 gate lol
I want to hear him say "I'm batman"
LOL facts
Hahaha
LMAO This is why i should stop reading comments before watching the video. At some point during i was like geez this dude sounds like batmanXD
Wait! Whay??? So U guys are saying he's not 'really' Batman??? LOL! ;-) (just kidding)
BTW, love your drumming dude. Peace
brooooo i was thinking the same thing....
Snares - loud
808 -
Reverb - long
Delay - on tempo
Flanger - regeneration
Phaser - fender Rhodes
Panning - extreme
Dirty south - pioneer
Sidechain - ?
Rescue hard drive from burning computer
And the Juno 106
808 - Bassy
sidechain- no
i thought he said 808 - basic and sidechain - cool?
Hotel- trivago
@@facksvillain2296 i thought that was "basic" because Moog was "bass"
Man a Mike Dean instrumental album would be lit af!
another travis scott collab album would be lit
Go and check out his Rap-A-Lot work!! 😉
coming so soon!
Well you’re getting one tonight
4/20/2020 dropped it today :))))
You guys should have Scott Storch on here! That guy has had so many hit records... And he’s got an incredible story of rags to riches; back to rags, and back to riches. It’ll be a good episode!
Cosign!
I love scott storch and his music. Man he blew all that money. He’ll never get that rich again but hes still one of the best
Mike is all yall trap producers' father.
Nope the real fathers of trap are the ones who actually grew in the trap and made that shit mainstream, you give credit to those guys who started making those beats first
NORTH as I’m mike dean lol, look into his past and the shit he’s worked on, beyond a legend, a pioneer
Nope Zaytoven Lex Luger
Boi stop. He just hopped on that wav. Pun intended. Shawty Redd 1st and Zaytoven close 2nd. Lex went another level with it...made it mainstream.
no Shawty Redd is
Dave was tryna get all the sauce in this interview lol
Smiffon Wesson 😂
he did it for us
@@BADTRIPPRODUCTIONS very underrated comment 🙏
lmaoo and mike wasn't giving it up easily
😂😂😂😂
The most influential mixer/ mastering guy in the industry. Keep asking questions
u like trap music - mike dean. u like loudness - mike. u like distortion craziness - mike
Bitch You Guessed it you like travis Scott- Mike
"EQ, Compressor, Limiter."
Can someone tell me What he said for 808s in the batter box? I couldn't make it out
@@Menyceprod same i couldnt hear what he said about phasers and delays either :(
808: Basic (idk)
Phasers: Fender Rhodes
Delays: On Tempo
@@Menyceprod he said bass again. Same answer as moog which was the first question
He said ugh, Because side chaining is not necessary it’s all about leveling
Could listen to Dean talk technique all day
This is one of the best podcasts I have ever seen.
This is the best episode yet! Mike Dean is a beast lol
What's crazy is how special this man is! His influence goes far and beyond!
Always a treat to get a notification that Mike Dean is on! GOAT
Mike Dean is awesome, but I'd love to see some more leftfield producers on here...like Karriem Riggins, Kaytranada, Flying Lotus, Knxwledge etc.
Nahhhhhhh just Mike

Ricardo Riquier nah just fat
Very great to see :) both him and herb looking much better
Mike Dean episodes are among my favorites, I hope we continue to get him on the show regularly.
Great to finally see an interview with Mike Dean, known of him for quite some time. Own and love his Gainstation plugin from Acustica Audio. Also big respect to Papa Trawick!
Mike Dean been putting in that work since the early Rap-A-Lot days. Salute. This guy is a living legend.
“Nobody buys plug-ins”- Mike Dean

chuck a Mondomod on it as well, you can pan that shit.
That’s what Ryan Hewitt uses the air stereo width for, works wonders
I love how he ashed on the chair.
I love this show! Mike's a savage.
I am so very glad you guys put the CFL story here first! It's important!
Yes, Mike is on fire! Loved that story!❤
Dang ... great conversations!! Thanks Dave, Herb, et al!! And, I love Jackson Hole. Been there many times.
not episode related directly, but kudos to chongor and his executive in charge of production title. well earned and well deserved.
love it hes wearing that [RODEO] Shirt
Mike Dean the GOAT. I was hoping Dave would've hit the blunt lol
Amazing podcast, i really love how smart Mike Dean is and its super incredible how i just understand 2% of wtf he is talking about because he is speaking in codes and waves
Best episode in a long time! Memorable interview :))))
Your such an inspiration Mike!
You guys are always amazing. Thanks
Wow I never knew herbs history mans cut from the greatness cloth
Mike Dean is a fckn Legend!
OG rap-a-lot Mafiosi
"let the high create one for you" 🤣 and he goes off!! this interview is OG
DOPE!!! The info was awesome...hes culturally aware talented and a favorite among my peers
great interview..
Wow, what a great start to the show. Herb is right about doing activity's outside of music. I noticed the more articles and books I consume, the stronger my lyrics are in my songs. Also, Every aspiring producer should read Michael Beinhorn's "Unlocking Creativity"! It's fantastic and the only book that covers this aspect of the production process!
I really enjoyed this episode! Took a while to get started, but then it gets good 👍
Men, i was waiting for this
Damn. So glad I found this. Also I'm happy that I understood all the lingo they were using. After 5 years, my education is finally paying off
amazing interview!!! Thank you!!
These interviews need to be an hour long
not the easiest guy to interview. Short answers..
Why make it more than it needs to be?
Hahaha
I wish he would explain a little more. Being secretive about your techniques, I get it, but nobody's actually gonna take your place, I mean you're Mike Dean man
That's just it people like that aren't technical they just go by ear...apply until it sounds right move on. This is what meant when he said "it aint rocket science"
If you ever get the chance to shadow engineers in industry sessions with top or really good artists, the first thing you'll notice is how good the performance and vocal are before the engineer touches it and it makes the engineer sound phenominal.
Less experienced artists... gotta use a lot of processing
as someone who does what he does and i just discovered that I do. It's almost liek it's trial and error and you just get it to do whatever sounds good.
Thank u sooo much God bless
Mike out here in the chancletas, lol.

"I mastered watch the throne with one ear" - GOD
Lighting one up for this episode!
Mike Dean is AMAZING.
Now u understand why Travis Kanye Cudi are crazy composers as well
Respects to your dad. Makes me proud to be a Canadian 🧡
great questions
a legend
I mastered Watch The Throne with one ear . What a bar
I think i just found a new favorite engineer
He is so checked out 🥱
growing up as a CFL fan and now a growing engineer and enthusiastic Pensado's Place devotee, really happy to finally see this addressed on the show. appreciate what your dad did for Black visibility in Canada so much, and love what you're doing for the audio professional community now.
mike rocking the sock with slippers dope
love this man
Pensado's is the place to be!!!
This was great
Just awesome episode!
Thanks for asking all the questions we wanna know, dave!
I always wondered who bought those camo print Polo shirts.
Polo herb
Lol nice
Fantastic Herb, :-)
Mike said this one gon be ya favorite song! 😝
Mike seems like a cool dude to chill with
Legend of legend. Living legend. He is more famouse between producers than normal people.
Thought I saw the Trawick name before. Good Place clip. Lots of class and sass. Kanye is getting real and a needed role model these days outside of music. Some interesting tips.
22:15 that peep at the joint😂😂
LOL!!!
Love
Good guest!
Thanks for TH-cam's subtitles.
Toronto, baby
PERIOD!
This was great!
literally been researching tMike then boom! I heard how loud sicko mode was and they asked him but he wouldn't tell them the secrets haha
He told them. As loud as possible before distortion, but that applies for all frequencies. He also said he masters twice, once while mixing and then remove effect before final export, then master all tracks together to even them out.
I just meant he didn't break down the exact plugins he used to get sicko mode as loud as possible. I don't blame him I just thought it was funny because Pensado wanted that info haha.
he said get the vocals to the right level then add 3-4db
he clipped the converters on his console after summing out the master which gave the track an analog soft-clip saturation effect which warmed up the low-end and glued the mix
Multiple limiters, soft clipping, eq, compression, saturation. Has a lot to do with EQ curve after multiple layers of limiting, and feeding that into a final brick wall. I overshoot commercial mixes regularly.
Mike Dean is a legend.
Mike wore flip flops to an interview? Legend 😂
Lmao
Best youtube channel
Those jahkoy songs sound amazing
here before this shit blows mike dean ur awesome !!
epitome of the age of information. how lucky we are to be able to listen in on this wisdom. Damn grateful for this video! Thank you Dave, and thank you Mike.
Herb was passing the herb 🌿 🔥✌
