I would love see you guys discuss music schools and whether or not it's necessary for upcoming producers/artists/engineers. What did you learn in school and what did you already know going into school. It can be very expensive so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

I've been to a music school for 4 years from my 20. There is nothing you can't learn on KZread technically. But the people I met there inspired me a lot and 3 of them are stil good friends I see weekly. Stil making music and stil chilling. 15 years now

Every person I know who paid tens of thousands to go to FSU or a handful of other expensive music schools.. they all recommend not going. Some of the connections are great, the facilities are incredible, but what you learn from these schools can pretty easily be taught working at a studio or working with other producers, engineer, artists, etc. Like college business classes, you can learn so much more with real life experiences vs hypothetical classroom experiments. And this is coming from people that have credits ranging from Kendrick, Travis Scott, SZA, Juice Wrld, Usher, Nav, Trippie Redd, you name it..

Absolutely not. Art is best self taught. And breaking rules of mixing helps develop new styles

Austin community college and other community colleges has very good programs in audio engineering for around $300-400 a class and in their cases I think the price is worth the payout and just opportunities with others and connections but also with the school’s supplies that u would never be able to afford on your own

Going to school for music is similar to going to school for cooking. You have all the tools at home to learn how to be a good cook like the stove and ingredients but a good cooking school would put you in front of a teacher that has cooked for 5 star restaurants and can make professional dishes. Same thing in music you can make it at home on your laptop and after some time become great at it but a music school could put you in front of a teacher who worked in professional studios for years and been dealing with audio for a while to help accelerate you skills, plus you’ll most likely be around other students that you can network with and learn off each other. If you relate music school to cooking school I feel like it would make more sense for you because just like in cooking it involves your sense of taste to make you a better musician. You can get that since of taste by going to school or learning on you own it’s up to you and what works best.

If we're solely talking in terms of success and how huge it was for an extended period, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream record is that album, especially if we include the reissue. 8 singles. 6 went number 1 and the other two hit number 2 and number 3. And this was still when digital sales and radio were most of what determined chart positioning, so this was constant and sustained success over that 3 or 4 year period. Katy Perry won't be respected as an influential or innovative artist, but that album deserves all the recognition and credit for the success it achieved.

Input conversion is really good on most interfaces. It’s the digital to analog converter you have to worry about lacking. To hear everything your doing and have.

0:42 I 100% agree!!! I've been sayin' this for years now. The 24k Magic Album shaped me as a musician and is the reason I ever thought about making music.

2:20 Ye bro LJ you know your shit. Literally same.

Always a good day when da nerds drop 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Dope as always! Y'all should do one about landr and e-master. Are they legit? Is the AI technology competing with professional mastering engineers?

I think what's always been the gap between cheap audio equipment and expensive ones is the time it takes to achieve your goal and the amount of work you gotta put into it. So I would wanna say that a cheap(but pretty decent) converter can get the job done just as much as a more expensive one. More work may have to get done under the hood to achieve a great sounding record. But because preamps control what's going in, that's highly important. Then again, cheap interfaces with not as good preamps in them are feasible too. lol Btw Devvon, I saw your video on how you saturate your final mix through your converters. I was wondering, would you do this step before or after applying a plugin such as the God Particle on your mix bus?

How would you rank Apollo's? I have a solo and use the API pre amp/ channel strip. Mainly because it has a built in gate to help with room and out side noise.

Dev you got to get the Avid Carbon if you love the Mbox sound your going to fall in Love with the Carbon, not only the sound but using the DSP drives instead of your computers CPU power shit flow so much smoother in my session you mix a lot of Vocal and your a freaking beast in your mixes you definitely need to bless your self with one it’s ok to treat your self sometimes lol, im gracefully blessed with the Carbon, it’s paired with my Audioscape LA2A and with the new Adam A77H as my monitor set up Lord Jesus is the best money I have invested my mixes are Glorious 😂 do it, I would like to link up one day I wanna send you some of my sessions I’m working on I would like to hear your opinion 🙏

😂😂Devvon wanted to say Preamps but just couldn’t and ended up arguing both ends. Great conversation

I think you should follow this up using Something from Behringer, M Box & something from Apogee or UA!

Devvon is technically right about that thing with 192kHz and 44.1kHz. But if we leave the theory aside, practically the human ears dont need that amount of frequencies. We actually only would need a recording of 40kHz. But according to the issue of cutting the music from 20kHz to above with a brick wall, sony decided to use a transition flied of 2.050kHz (which will blend the signal until 22.050kHz) and thats why the industry standard is set to 44.1kHz. Pls correct me if Im wrong

Bruno Mars is too good for us. We don’t deserve him. 😂
