They're trying to get all of the secrets😂😂😂 Ali playing like he doesn't know all of the equipment and reverbs he used😂😂😂✊

i not saying Ali or anyone is wrong but, the secret sauce is not what they use... Its always how they use it, im telling yall now that Ali or even Dr Dre could give out all his secret sauce but there ain gon be another Dr Dre, he is who he is.. because a poor carpenter blames his tools. Just think how Michel Jackson had recorded his albums in the 80s who mix is still undefeated, they didnt have all the cool shit we have that we have today, those didnt even meet the quality of todays standards. But those mixes sounds like they are something outta the 80s, that shit sounds like something outta the future..

You can tell he lieing about what he uses because he starts to stutter 🤣 he doesn't want to let the sauce out but IMO it really doesn't matter because if you dont know what your doing with the tools doesn't make a difference at all.

It's actually the SPL 2384 MixDream - look up SPL Mixdream + Mike Dean, he specifically likes the Stereo Widening - ONE LOVE
I wish more engineers take their job as serious as Ali does

Fr man, mixing and mastering is one of THE most important parts of creating ANY music and Ali approaches it with such drive and compassion.
Ali posture is an engineer goal
When you're a self taught engineer, you just learn new shit every day! It's like they're speaking another language but it feels good whenever you learn a new piece to the puzzle.

Everytime Ali or Jaycen is on this show it just feels right. It's like attending to a family reunion that was way past due. Love it! Thank you for doing these videos guys 👍👍👍
This just became my favorite channel. Thank you for giving the producers the shine they deserve 🙏🏽
I lost it when Herb said "I was in the studio with Danny Boy" when he meant Danny Brown.
Hell yeah i love when Ali is on by far favorite guest
Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Herb, Dave, Pensado's Place I like this new style of snappy editing and rich-information per second, It's really flattering to the format of the show. Great episode! I'm feeling interested now.
Great Great Great Interview Guys!!! Thank you a lot. Cheers From Venezuela.
This is my guy!!! Been a FAN from the first interview this guy is a living Hip-hop Legend.
this guy is so inspirational! One day i will get close to that level of greateness
I been waiting for Ali to come back
I've learned sooooo much from this channel. Thank you guys so much!
I have been coming back to Ali interviews for year truly a MASTER!
great episode, big fan of Ali
he was talking about spl vitializer at 9mins
"I'm gonna go Nardwuar on you for a second" lol
Ali always dropping good knowledge and good vibes!
Ali's voice is incredible 🔥💯👍
I learn so much from this podcast. Thanks a lot.
Damn. Watching this after the Alex tumay and Mike dean episodes - Ali’s energy & passion is unmatched

Also watch the episodes with Salaam Remi, Noah 40 and Louis Bell - three of the best communicators of the essence of their craft. Mike Dean, one of the best who ever did it, on the other hand, isn't the most talkative person in the world. It took a lot to get a little out of him.
needed this episode
Thank You MixedByAli and Pensado's Place Great Episode 🙌🙌🙌🙌.
Thank you been waiting years
I'm diggin the new aesthetic!! Feels more home-y and intimate.
When you teach yourself the game, you really learn to value your ears. You learn to naturally trust what you hear over what you tweak.
Most people don't understand the subtle flex of bringing up that you use series K SSL vs. a series G SSL....lmfao two greats of all time it's funny as hell to see this banter. I absolutely love Dave picking his brain and Ali definitely knows what hes doing can't tell Dave too much he will know everything instantly😂😂 it's like Jordan interacting with LeBron

I love the way Dave changed his tone when he found out that Ali was also using the Reftones 🤣🤣he was about to lay into Auratones in mono - it’s the most supreme mix method in my trials also

Ali you thirsty on twitter, YOU BOO BOOO
At this level I wonder sometimes - the ssl e & g have no recall right? Working on multiple projects isn’t this a problem?
Big question, who is the smartest singer you ever worked with sonically, who knew thier instrument the best(?voice, what it needed) asking all the engineers
The SPL he’s talking about is the SPL Mixdream, Mike Dean was talking about it in his stream and talking about the stereo width. 100% he’s talking abt that.
Ali !!

When pushing the line input on the desk you drive the sound more into the circuit creating distortion which sounds dope. Helps add punch to the drums. You can get a similar vibe on the CLA SSL Mixhub plugin. Push the drums or kick n snare via the line input and your hear it. Have fun...
why they start off like its finna be a serious debate
Im about to try that RBass with a kick using a cracked waves plugin 😂

he sends the reverb signal to his analog SSL g-4000 compressor then sends that signal back to the mix. You can achieve a similar effect for cheaper with a waves g compressor, ableton glue compressor, or a hardware stam audio SA-4000
Approach every.mix based on the song. Polka or trap...
