I interned at a major studio in Atlanta when Young Thug was recording Thugger Girls, Alex was there a lot of the time and he was really cool. He gives back a lot. Insane experience altogether for me. Even saw Future pull up in his convertible black Lambo. Can't believe I was in the middle of all that now that I think about it. Grateful for it all.

BingBongRockety I asked him what was the best mixing advice overall he could share with me and he told me to start mixing my friend’s projects for free. Mix anything I can get my hands on. Which turned out to be true because the only way you can become a professional is to have hundreds, eventually thousands, of projects under your belt. Good advice. I didn’t mix anyone’s projects for free but I did start my prices out very low, gradually raising my hourly rate by $5.

@@BingBongRockety yeah my instagram is @ dustybrogdon. I can tell you what I know. It's crazy how good you can get using just the stock plugins. Every once in a while, I'll open a project from 2-3 years ago and I'll see how drastic my vocal chain has changed, not so much the plugins but how I set them. Over time, as your ear gets used to the room your in, you'll make little micro-adjustments to your EQ or compressor and it'll make all the difference in the world. I remember at one point Joey Sturgis wouldn't show his vocal EQ because he wanted his students to figure out their own settings. I've been recording as a job for 3 years and I still feel like I'm trash compared to the GOATS but everybody in my town comes to me and they swear up and down I got the juice, haha. You really just gotta be recording people or mixing (FINISHING PROJECTS) to become a beast.

When I was interning and met Alex, I was ASS as an engineer but I've always been a good songwriter.

When he mentioned lowering the beat instead of the raising the vocals. Holy shit what a common mistake between engineers AND producers. People always counteract quietness by raising levels instead of dropping them. THANK YOU ALEX FROM THE PAST

thank you alex, this is wonderful... youre a legend

One thing I would like to say is I'm happy you are explaining to them the music and how it really works. No if's or buts about st8 to the point. But a lot of those kids look a little lost and are rethinking their career right now. Cause you are telling them how it needs to happen. If not you will not last more then first major session. My name is Jordan and I've worked on about 400 major sessions. This career is not as easy as it looks. Have fun and make the most of it and be creative. But don't over think it.

I've been mixing a long time and producing and recording longer. Many amazing learning moments in my life. This is among them.

Reverse yeah you're right that is more harmful probably.

all these professionals in youtube comments can't even realize why he can't play audio and get mad about it LOL. made my day

no analog gear before this massive chain? pre amp?? why use uad g buss and not the actual gear? do they get used still? i just dont understand why so much "in the box" compression in a analog studio answers??

As a novice recording engineer, I'm curious as to how you would go about setting the input levels so that when Dex is going crazy in the booth, the audio signal doesn't clip.. My guess is to set the input gain extremely low, so that his vocals won't go any higher than about -6dB (which is still wayy to hot/loud for an input signal)... Or do they use a compressor on the pre-amp/Audio-Interface to keep the audio signal from jumping..???
