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.
If you are a sound engineer learning from Nigeria 🇳🇬 let’s link up and share knowledge

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.

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.

@@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.

Dope episode

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

@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.

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
Looooooooooooovvvvveeeee this episodeee
My song Faith (on my channel) was mixed with Sony Acid Pro. That DAW changed my life and helped me become a better engineer
This dude seems like one of the few real ones in the industry.

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
I want to know why y'all never mentioned plug-in alliance and how most of you uad plugins could be found there or at least a good majority
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
plz put on some dancehall producers
Dro👏
workflow vs. sonics is a paradox question.
