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
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!
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 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.
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 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.
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.
summing is when you send all your tracks in a mix to a summing mixer (like the neeve 8816) then send that back to your daw to get a digital to analog conversion sound. had to look it up too haha shit seems way too expensive though. ill wait till i can afford it to at least try it out.
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
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!
Came here for music related things. Starts of with sports and racism. Stop spending energy on diversity. We should stop focussing on race related things.
Listen how he generalise everything in order not to help people to be better faster, just general answers that... don't realy get you far, wasting time is listening to him. Even when Pensado asks specific questions about a specific record he does not answer by saying general things, I use rev, delay, if he was passing exams by speaking like that he would fail 100% of the time by talking... whatever. Specific question - SPECIFIC aswer, with such age but being so elusive and not specific, if don't want to speak than just don't, but hiding behind generalisation is trash tralk.
Mike sounds like he has an grossbeat on his throat
holy shit lmao
lol
he high as hell
@Taylan Boztas 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Miguel Hernandez disagree but even if true its not bad because the mastering.
I want to hear him say "I'm batman"
LOL facts

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

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"
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
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
Guy sounds like he smokes 200 blunts a day
Cause he does
and a lotta dabs
Legend has it, it’s 300 a day
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
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
@@ar3nit616 facts
Nahh just mike
Wordddd
just mike
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 :))))
Could listen to Dean talk technique all day
"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
Lets just hope he didn't mix Nav's Vocal on YOSEMITE loool
he mixed astroworld entirely
I wonder if it was intentional 😂
NAV’s vocal was recorded poorly, not much he could’ve done.
It wasn't Mike's fault. It was most likely a recording error so the person to blame is the recording engineer I guess
Nav cant rap... nothing a recording or mixing engineer can do about it
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.

That’s what Ryan Hewitt uses the air stereo width for, works wonders
I always wondered who bought those camo print Polo shirts.
Polo herb
Lol nice
22:15 that peep at the joint😂😂
LOL!!!
I love this show! Mike's a savage.
not the easiest guy to interview. Short answers..
Why make it more than it needs to be?
Hahaha

Mike reminds me of Adam Sandler just older and stoned as shit :D , incredible engineer tho...
I mastered Watch The Throne with one ear . What a bar
I love how mike dean gives absolutely 0 FUCKS!!!!!! So refreshing 🤣
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.
Now u understand why Travis Kanye Cudi are crazy composers as well
this episode tho but mike dean is kinda hard to understand lol n im french (btw love him he mixe hits n smoke blunts...)
this was lowkey uncomfortable to watch lolll but I stayed for the wisdom.
Mike Dean is a fckn Legend!
OG rap-a-lot Mafiosi
This one coulda been twice as long and still terrific, guys. Loved it
thank you for this knowledge mike dean if u read these comments
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.
Mike Deam gives a look everytime he gives away a secret...
I was looking for this comment
He seems pissed when they ask. When he said he just turns up the vox 3 db when they sound right he regretted it haha
Wow I never knew herbs history mans cut from the greatness cloth
He is so checked out 🥱
Interviewers: ?????
Mike: [RODEO]
itslit
mind blown when you reaize that blacks in canada are still african-american XD
Thanks for asking all the questions we wanna know, dave!
the host reminds me of the tactical guy teaching self defense on tik tok
Yea he look like h
What's crazy is how special this man is! His influence goes far and beyond!
“Acoustic and electric guitars don’t benefit from a lot of top end”
CLA: “I added a +15db shelf at 8khz”
😭😂😂
when dave said high as 'fuuuuck' or straight? that was so cringe lmaooo
Manz walked in with sandale for an interview. Mike don’t give a shit 😂
These interviews need to be an hour long
mike rocking the sock with slippers dope
interview start at 10:14
Mike wore flip flops to an interview? Legend 😂
Lmao
Would like to hear mike on some drill beats
Rip popsmoke
Mike has worked w Pop Smoke (posthumously) and more recently; Fivio Foreign
What specifically was he talking about with the mastering with the neeve and summing?
summing is when you send all your tracks in a mix to a summing mixer (like the neeve 8816) then send that back to your daw to get a digital to analog conversion sound. had to look it up too haha shit seems way too expensive though. ill wait till i can afford it to at least try it out.
He's summing through an SPL MixDream and the Neve. The MixDream stereo out is also going to the Neve.
@@NativeDSP MixDream! Thanks I couldn't make out what they were saying there
I thought I was by myself 😅
This is one of the best podcasts I have ever seen.
Blunt just sitting pretty on that desk
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
not episode related directly, but kudos to chongor and his executive in charge of production title. well earned and well deserved.
All this time i thought MIKE DEAN was a black dude. Holy shit :O
I love how he ashed on the chair.
“If you don’t learn something every session you’re failing”
I like how Mike just has a blunt sitting on the table chillin. Lol
Always a treat to get a notification that Mike Dean is on! GOAT
Dang ... great conversations!! Thanks Dave, Herb, et al!! And, I love Jackson Hole. Been there many times.
Mike Dean been putting in that work since the early Rap-A-Lot days. Salute. This guy is a living legend.
Yo I never knew these dudes were as cool as they are!
I was enlightened as well my friend . lol
when Dave said he was going for the UAD endorsement lolololol
Yoooooooo ............ Ludwig Göransson & Donald Glover are the new Mike Dean and Kanye West .... Pensado should interview Ludwig Göransson
Thanks for TH-cam's subtitles.
Best episode in a long time! Memorable interview :))))
You have to read between the lines. Search and you will find what you're looking for through trial and error.

Indeed

Welcome to Puff-sados place 🤪😁. Keeping it real on this one.
Give the man a fukkin ashtray!
My boy mike looks like he gets no sleep
All work no sleep
Mike Dean is definitely on my favorite producer list ... I wish he would do a video explaining how he made Scarface's "Fuck Faces".
I really enjoyed this episode! Took a while to get started, but then it gets good 👍
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 "I mastered Watch The Throne with one ear" Dean
Dean Dude is so awkward .....most geniuses are
Cozmic Rahop these interviewers are awful to be fair
@@YoloMonstaaa let's see you do better...yet you took the time to watch then criticize
I'd be interested to know what Mike Dean means Flanger - Regeneration?
feedback.. take the flanger's output and stick it back through the flanger input. You can get some crazy stuff
I am so very glad you guys put the CFL story here first! It's important!
i want to hear mike dean say ( look at Me ) Batman style
Mike Dean sound like the voice Christian Bale tried to do as Batman
