In this episode the guys try to figure out what genre of music has the best sounding mixes. Is it the hard drums and bass of hip hop? Is it the width and clean sound of pop? Has latin music completely changed its sonics with mixes applying other genre techniques to the genre? Lets find out.

You’re totally correct
"FL Studio's commitment to innovation and staying at the forefront of music technology ensures that it will remain a powerhouse in the world of DAWs for years to come."

I don't use FL, but I agree with this statement 100%
Mixing wise I've felt like for the past 5-10 years that the Sam Smith & Adele style mixes have been the best. Sonically their stuff just sounds like the engineer took their time and the elements being felt are always spot on. Side note: Ali doing Kendrick projects is what inspired me to become a mixing engineer though. GKMC feels like the blueprint for me lol
So I’m just getting started with music production and my KZread screen time average is like 5 hrs after just watching y’all on repeat. I’m 16 and y’all are great to watch. Thank you 🙏

Stop watching this shit and get to fuckin work
No one be talking about the ambient genre. Man. Thats exactly how you set a good foundation.
Jermaine Dupree pioneered the 808s on R&B records
Pop has the BEST mixes hands down!
Man I love what yalll doing for the production putting a spotlight on the part of music that makes it great the very magic is the production so mad lovee
Glad Max B was mentioned when it came to the singing & rapping…he fathered a lot of artists low key
Forget just Audio, this is the best podcast period.. Three GOATS podcast... 🐐🐐🐐
hands down i love this podcast!! makes me laugh, teaches bout music, and happily pay each other out, but in the end we all here cause we love MUSIC
Man you guys are the best ! Always looking forward to Yall episodes
This podcast is too good, and LJ is my guy standing for FL
I agree with Devvon with regards to Hip Hop mixes not always being great. It's only a few artists that stand out mixing wise.
The fl beta has been out for a while. Its super dope. I'm loving it
Gospel mixes hit the hardest!
Bro that afrobeat and dancehall comment at the end was BIG facts
I have recently been AMAZED at how incredible the mixes are in a lot of modern Drum N Bass. They have some of the clearest, hugest mixes I’ve heard. Plus, they utilise basically ALL of the frequency spectrum. Not to mention how good it sounds on all systems.

Glitch hop. go listen to sayonara by tipper. most insane sonic imaging Ive ever heard
I agree, dance, house and edm have the best mixes
16:00 there’s 2 videos on KZread of Teezio breaking down his mixing templates for both “Psychic” and “Till The Wheels Fall Off”. You can clearly see a lot of his work flow in there
I think Afrobeats are some of the cleanest mixes I ever heard
Episodes are always fire when everyone is engaged rapid fire. Keep up the good work
🔥Fire hot as always🔥
Not into it myself, but some metal music has pretty crazy mixes
Lauryn Hill broke the mold lol. Sang at a supreme technical and stylistic level and rapped with elite bar and flow. Nobody else can say that outside of her.

New trap country sounds insanely good the low end on them trax are clean
once i heard devvon do the “IGHT, IGHT!!!” i knew he was going to snap since other daws companies dont listen to their consumers 😭FL GANG 🤟🏾
11:00 as whole, afrobeats is killing it mix wise.
I can’t lie. The mix done on “Coi Leray - Self Love” does it for me. She snapped on it but that song sonically is beautiful

Slepton and an underrated comment
Ja Rule was one of the first male to get popular but Lauren Hill knocked the gates down regarding singing and raping. She was the total package.
8:40 Bro really be using wild analogies as stun guns and it's super effective against Devvon every time lmao LJ's a menace.
First off PROTOOLS 4 LIFE!!! Secondly, Protools is DBZ cause it’s the OG, Ableton is One Piece cause people love it but it’s really hard to get into, and FL is MHA It’s fire but the fans are just the worst! JK I love my FL people but y’all know I’m right!😂 Love this Pod so much been here since episode 1!🙌
I hope Slate Audio send Devvon a copy of the VSX Modeling Headphones. I’m hearing rave reviews on them. Would love to hear his take on them!! Come on Slate!
"Hotline Bling" peaked at #2. Drake's first solo #1 was "One Dance"; his first technical #1 was "What's My Name?". By #1, I'm referring to the Hot 100.

FL Studio does allow you to use it as a plugin inside of any other DAW.....and Reason also allows this as well
Lucky Daye/Victoria Monet, Dmile, and J kercy has been my favorite music sonically and feeling wise recently. Getting J kercy and or Dmile on the couch would be dope asf.
I remembered clearly in the car waiting for my parents to come back from Sam's Club, I had the music blasting. All a sudden "Best I Ever Had" came on the radio and I never heard of Drake besides Degrassi. Shit blew me away, Im like wait... he's singing and rapping? Who is this guy singing sounding a bit like NEYO on this record. At that moment I knew the game is going to change.
Serato was the first Daw with stem separation but I can't wait for the FL version becasue Serato Studio is so wierd to use as an FL guy.

@UCFaMwwizp_sriL2YV7VC9nw Thanks what do I do now?
Doja Cat mixes are the best in hip hop right now in my opinion. I miss the days when you could buy an album and read all the credits.
3:13 “For all my urban folks out there” I almost spit out my water 😂😂
At 17:27 I already knew where this conversation was going lmfaoo
Bro I use Fl to create and Protool to mix. This relationship works these days...
We NEEEEEED Teezio on the couch!!! It’s a shame he doesn’t get more love he’s definitely one of the BEST mixers out there!!!!
Studio one is the anime “Kingdom”. Main character is always saying he’s going to be one of the greatest war generals.
I never miss an episode.
Devvon was sick about that stem seperation lol
My Wednesday’s would be dreadful without this podcast
People forget that we have Hip-Hop/Pop as a genre. Lizzo, Meg The Stallion, Doja Cat, Bia, Da Baby etc. pretty much H&M music. We should just say Hip-Hop and call it a day.
Serato Studio has had Stem seperation since there 2.0 update in January and the beta goes back over a year. So, FL is not the first. Also Waveform 12.5 has it.

@troyd9695 I agree they definitely need some Studio One representation. Best all-around Daw in the game.
Teezo has always been one of the goats! I've been saying it for years! ...another underrated person nobody talks about is Bengineer Cybulsky (who's mixed most of the whole Tech N9ne's Strange Music label's catalog) FL 4 Life 🤘... LJ's LUFS joke got my dying laughing 🤣🤣
OT, but asking the community; Do yall send your hi-hats, percs, crashes etc. to the drum-bus as well, or do you keep em separate? saw lots of famous mixers do both, i like the bounce it adds to the hihat, when the kick triggers the drum bus comp. but on the other hand keeping the hats separate lets you saturate the other drums harder without destroying the high end

I used to include them in the same group, but I just started separating them (bass, kick, snare, rim in one group) (hihats, open hats, crash etc in a separate group) digging it way better this way
Yall sleepin on studio one 😁
Mos Def sung and rapped on both the blackstar album and his solo album black on both sides. Blackstar came out in 98 same year as the miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Solo album 99
I’m using Pro tools Logic and Native Instruments
R&B Is Definitely The Greatest Mixing Genre Right Now With Teezio Doing Chris Brown, Saint Harrison Etc... Jaycen Mixing HER & Many More ... Jon Castelli Mixing 6lack, Leon Thomas Etc...

11:49 I still do both but over ten years back this old head told me to stay in my lane cuz Im a singer. In the same asked a dude to ghost write for them. Mind you, Im way nicer than dude. So yeah singing AND rapping was so frowned upon. Usher did it a few times on the My Way album and we let it slide 😅
what u think about Caribbean mixes ?
Devvon the goat for saying Max B
20 minute mark im dead!!! but I agree. everybody should listen an put it in the daw
Not gonna lie. I’ve been pro tools since I bought 10 back in the day but it’s only for recording and mixing. I can’t do production in no other daw than FL. If there was a hybrid FL/Pro-Tools mode it would be game over
And KZread did they thing I didn’t even see this episode when it come out
Blxst has said he wanted to be in that pocket to where the women love him but the guys can still slap his shit around the homies. He is PERFECTLY in that pocket if you ask me 💪🏾
Tracktion Waveform announced stem separation in their 12.5 update back in May. Lol😂
Downtempo and Lounge Music
Why is Cubase rarely mentioned on this pod?
Fl forever goated
I know I'm responding to this mad late but in terms of rappers who pioneered the singing/rapping style I don't know how Andre 3000 get's overlooked every time. He was the first
Blxst mixes a lot of his music!!!
I’ve always thought the fruit on Fruity Loops was for produce lol
Two words from an old guy... Lauryn Hill ... She sold over 20 million units singing and rapping. Not streams, sales.
#1. Ableton Live 23.14% #2. Logic Pro 16.95% #3. Pro Tools 15.13% #4. FL Studio13.63% #5. Cubase 9.03% #6. Studio One 3.80% #7. Reason 3.46% #8. GarageBand 2.49% #9. Sonar 1.99% #10. Digital Performer 0.92% #11. Bitwig Studio 0.77% Other 8.70%

I finally agree with LJ 😳😂😂😂😂
50 Cent sang all over Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. And that's after he dissed Ja rule for singing on his records.
Not the first but definitely the biggest. Serato studio had stems
SeratoStudio had stems before FL... #StopIT that said... Image line been on one for minute!! Shout out to FL
can we bring up the fact that the korg legacy collection vst still does not load up legacy korg pcg files
FL gang 🔥 Team Lj
Afro beat songs def have the cleanest mixes to me
They would hate me. I use Ableton, Bitwig, Studio One and Serato Studio. Depends on my mood. I don't have an "a" Daw. I'm a Daw ho with no loyalty,
Easy, electronic music, hands down.
APPS DONT COUNT 😂 21:10
Lauren Hill sang and rapped... Thoughts
FL GANG 😂😂😂😂😂😂 we here !!!!!! For ever
In my opinion it's reggae and house. Jaguar 2 has a reggae song too so you could compare R&B/soul and reggae in the same album Courtney
Classical
14:30 Dont forget about Lil Wayne - How To Love
When Yachty said that he was “copping SRTs and doing Fruity Loops” I felt that
Doja Cat mixes be hitting different!!
Whatever era Bruce Swedien was mixing in! 😁
18:59 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The face got me rolling😂😂😂😂 Cuz its true. The Beta version of FL has it
"why are we letting FL do this to us?!" lmfaooooooo bro got tiiiight
Yall need to listen to Elemxent
Serato Sample is the waayyy
Devvon ready to switch to FL😅😅😅
Maaaan yall need to put some respect on Studio One name 🤦🏾♂️ its basically Protools, FL Studio & a few other DAWs combined in 1, do yo research & homework, keep up the good work from the Studio One Stallion💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
