😂😂😂😂
Bruh 😂😂
😂
😭😭😭
It's so nice to hear this unmastered and unsquashed. Those dynamics sound amazing.
if they crush the dynamics the right way. crushed dynamics sound amazing. -chris lorde alge
just kidding i made that up. but srsly
Hahahhaa
Exactly! I love setting my compressors to the fastest attack time and the threshold as close to 0db as possible. That way my tracks all sound like the life is squeezed out of them. "I like to think of my mixes as turds being squeezed out of a pressure washer. Dynamics are for idiots who don't know what they're doing." CLA also said that.
and youtube added that warm .aac compression
@@HellaHipHop "turn up the ratio"
Justin Timberlake is such a genius when it comes to harmonys. It's mind blowing.
*harmonies
He’s not the one writing all those parts bro....but he sings them well for sure
You should be aware of the fact that harmonies can be reproduced from the main vocal, so without actually singing them. So the producer is the hero, not the singer
If you watch the Making of Justified he sings all the harmonies.
He came from a boyband, where harmonies were a must
3:24 that bottom harmony tho. damnn
I caught that too 👀
bottom sounds digitally produced? no?
That sounds incredible! This is the best mix I’ve ever heard online by any engineer.
wow Boss Shawn , THANK YOU , that means much, jimmydouglass.com
Jimmy Douglass You’re very welcome. I’m a big fan. I’m trying to learn as much as I can from greats like yourself to utilize when I record and mix my clients. Vocals is the most difficult for me. I’ve gotten mixing music/tracks down to a pretty good science but I’m always looking to improve. You’re studio looks amazing. I couldn’t figure out what your board was. I was thinking it was either a NEVE 88RS or a SSL. It must be fun playing with all that great analog gear (in real life). LOL. I have most of your rack in the UAD plug-in form. Great video and mixing. I’ll check out your website.
Man I listened to both those 20/20 records soo many times, I love the mix and the vibe on it!
Adding an instrumental to those vocals is almost a crime.
Literally, JT is insane
He definitely needed a beat to clean it up. Justin's voice sounded quite bad. Doubt he'd even mKe it through the first round of American idol lol.
@@thespeechboss please tell me you are joking
@@thespeechboss L take
@@thespeechboss you are an L indeed
Well, actually the recording is pretty good. Good mic, good pre, and awesome vocalist. Probably with some eq and compression on the way in. That makes the 80% of the sound. This will not happen in a home studio scenario.
People always think think that the magic happens during the mixing, but it's the opposite. Good recordings go a long way for an awesome song.
YES. I've recorded some AMAZING vocals with a C800 going into a 1073 into an 1176 in a treated studio with a single EQ plugin and it sounded SPECTACULAR. Opposed to me engineering in a bedroom with a SM7B into an Apogee pre into a non treated room with literally 6 plugins trying to compensate for the lack of environment/gear. It's really what divides the pros from the amateurs!
It's obvious but it needs to be said.
Christian Saona Alvarado i dont think so 😅😅
can't polish a turd
How good are JT's harmonies tho :O
Bruh...the Chills !
Amazing. It's his job. I know it's weird that this isn't always the case. But he's a class act.
lets hear you do it, idiot
Gra Xx umm there's definitely harmonies there...
There's at least 4 harmonies at around 2:16, I just transcribed it. Yes, one of them is an octave, but it's a nice arrangement. There's even a major 7th at 1:45. There's a 9th at 2:12 and the voicing includes a root, a 2nd and a 3rd all crammed together and it works really nice.
Actually, I think it's pretty slick arrangement.
3:01 is the best thing I've ever heard
Yes
Thumbs up to the recording engineer, that vocal chain he or she used to capture jts vocals are on point. Idk if JD recorded it too , if he did big ups to him, and if he didn't big ups for the finishing touches!
i thought JT records and produces everything in his own studio :O
@@adriennemiller.music. he isnt tracking, he's just mixing the already recorded vocals. So you're right Justin does record at home.
20/20 experience is the best mixed album i've ever listened to, thank you jimmy douglass
What are you comparing it to? Just wondering
this is a dumb question. if i said its the best mixed album i ever listened to, im comparing it every album i listened to
What do you think about Led Zeppelin I and II? Thriller or Bad? Pink Floyd TDSotM or The Wall?
SmEn nEmS Thriller and Bad are mixed well. I haven’t listed to the other ones, though.
PoopyDoopy39 that’s was a dumb answer , he was obviously asking for specific answers
Justin has such a nostalgic sounding texture to his voice. I especially love the harmonies and how he puts emphasis on specific parts by pulling and stretching. You can clearly hear the 90's swedish pop influence from the Max Martin days.
I come back to this video almost every other day. Love it so much.
Thanks! Great to see all that gear in work!
Dope 1176 then the Pul Tec this bad boy is on all the Motown Hits it just works. Glad i have both of these in my collection!
Man, those BGVs are tasty!
Living Well With TJ Dang, you a hater. Justin comes from a vocal pop group who did nothing but harmony and background vocals throghout their music and in their live/acapella and album settings so, of course he did those background vocals. That is something he specializes in, and to say other wise is an insult. You just trying to start something.
Living Well With TJ Man you seem to have no life at all haha. Out here hating an amazing singer.
Living Well With TJ I'm always wondering, when you hate his voice so much, why are people like you on this video ? it makes no sense. He has an amazing voice on all of his records. Haven't seen him live yet.
Those harmonies were great! And then the mix boosted it!
This was fun to hear. It doesn't hurt to have a superb vocalist from which to tinker with. Jimmy is a genius!
0:46 dude went crazy on that knob!
Nah, he just like twisting knobs
it's pretty normal to do that, he was just moving the knob really fast to see the changes of the low end of the vocals but not let the ears get used to
fly That's what I thought. Very scratchy.
Brick Top lmaooo
scratchy pot (entiometer) - needs some contact cleaner.
I'm impressed the good quality we still have on RUclips ! Love dat voice, mix and treatment applied on it
great work, great tweaks and mix
The work flow is legendary !
I wish we could pay à la carte. I'm not interested in seminars and webinars, but I love the videos.
Those movements with his high falsetto.. wow! Beautiful blending
I need background vocals like that omg so amazing!!!!
The best part of this video is the acapella track, wish they would play more...
Damn that's some good vocals/harmonies.
Those BVs are super clean.
Sounds so wonderful!
Mixing is just pure art!!
What a magical mix room
Love it!Videos like this is amazing for us!Thank's!
The benefit these guys have is stellar recordings to begin with. The mic pres that their recordings were recorded on were great. Not that lesser pre amps mean worse mixes. What I have noticed is that the better the preamp, the easier it is to get a great sound.
Not just the preamp, the whole chain including all the people involved, the song, the lyrics and even the building! It all adds up...
Vocal so Gorgeous; Make me want to buy the Acapella version of thé Album! Great Mixer
great thing to watch here over your shoulder... sounds very awesome!
I'm just a regular guy from the bottom. Damn I really appreciate you guys making videos to help us learn. I just sacrificed everything to build a studio and you and other RUclipsrs really pulled through. Thanks brother
Great stuff!! Learning so much.
glad I could help
This album was great! 2020 experience!
One of my favorite RUclips videos to watch...
Sounds incredible!
00:45 when your gear has some glitchy dust but you won't get it fixed cause you love the sound that comes after you tweek it a few times...hahahah...those vocals are golden...
The harmonies had a beautiful sound prior to the effects. It definitely had that JT vibe after them though.
3:01 Gawd damn he popped that air on haha sounded sweet asf. I get become a member too much knowledge to ignore. And now they got Timbo with , Jacyne and Pensado.
I could listen to this alllll day!
Awesome harmonies! ❤
Ah ma gahd the wonderful hardware! Great vid!
those background vocals are beautiful
Watching this makes me appreciate music production even there’s so much that goes into a album, single, and even unreleased songs.
he moving fast because he know the gear he have. and you can tell he using his ears. I feel what he said at the end. remiximg the whole song again. I do that all the time but I'm still learning
making magic sound even more magical
I could listen to this all day :) :) :) Great reminder, if nothing else, that the source material is the most important thing - Timberlake's raw vocals are top notch!
Needed that motivation thanks
JT is the man. Those vocals are outta control. It takes a true OG like J. Douglass to tame a performance like that.
I can watch it and listen to it over and over. He mixes it without the music and then when the music is on it sits so nicely and perfectly into the context. This is the level where you want to be as a mixing engineer.
Jimmy is that guy man!!! wow that sounded good to my ears
man that sounds amazing!
That mix was awesome asf
All my instincts say a won't like Justin but when a heard him on a timberland beat i took notice and realized how warm n soulful he is
This REC sound amazing!! Smooth, Airy, Warm without Harshness!! We all wanna know what's the secret Boss!!!✌🏾Guess the ear...
A few hundred grand in gear don't hurt either
Sounds so wonderful! nice
Where can I watch ALL of this greatness??
Hi, thank you !
Please visit: www.mixwiththemasters.com for more content.
SOUNDS SO GOOOOOOD!
this is so good
This is so awesome!
jesus so much analog gear
Saint Laurent probably expensive afffff
At our studio is everything analog to
Classics
Recalling his mixes must be a nightmare.
don't have to recall them if you do them right from the start.
Everything i got digital, this is the real thing. Damn.
Love your presets on UAD nice glue
Wow this is awesome. Thanks!
I wish he let the effects signal solo for longer, that was interesting to listen to everything that was on there.
I learned so much from this video.
Amazing how fast they work when they know what they're doing
a wizard at work. amazing
I luv these videos
Like your presets thanks!
I would love to hear this mix redone with the uad apollo to see if their legacy pack match up
Justin's BG vocals are godly.
daddyrichten gtfoh
Its part of the Antares bundle really makes things easier when you need that effect. "Harmony Engine" plugin.
daddyrichten not eve lm close to being true
Farai The Producer it’s ya boi farai
Living Well With TJ you sound DUUUUUUUUMB ASF. The highest harmony was in falsetto and ended with a run unlike the other parts. He was singing more than one note throughout that scale. The producer pressed a button or something and made all the harmonies come in or whatever he did. The studio can’t just create ideas😕 it’s all up to the artist to lay down the material/vocals.
When you guys share these, are we hearing their actual adjustments as they do them? @mixwiththemasters
Amazing vocals
I wish he would talk about the vocal layering, sounds insane good.

All that expensive gear to be listened on 5$ earbuds
I doubt it. Music has become a throw-away article, so why bother with expensive headphones. Heck, lot's of people are OK with a bad youtube rip! Besides, those with nice headphones or good car stereo probably won't listen to Justin Timberlake...
That expensive gear is needed because most people listen on $5 earbuds. All tools to make frequencies move those little earbud speakers just the right way to allow the listener to escape into another space.
Patbwoy But Justin Timberlake has the cash... so why not?
Sure, I don't disagree. I'm in the same business, and I do the same: Make it sound as great as possible with the greatest equipment available, even though I know that most listeners will not be able/willing to appreciate it. But making a song sound great in the mix is great fun, as is using great gear, so why not :)
Yeah but the song needs to sound great everywhere, from the cheapest earbuds to the most expensive boutique speakers, and that's why it's done this way, it would sound like shit on good speakers if they didn't put this attention to detail.
I just found my new favorite engineer
Wow the doubler was super nice!!
#dustypots
Love how he just started twisting the shit out of them hahah!
damn !!! listening this all vocal mix i heard parts i didn't hear on the actual song ..
That SSL desk though... Yes please.
The Legendary Jimmy Douglas.
this is GOLD
Dope vocals. Much love and respect to the legend himself Mr Jimmy Douglass
i mean jt has a pretty stellar voice, look at those fucking harmony though, it just kinda makes things easier...i honestly wanna see jimmy douglass take on mixing an absolute horrible singer, like one of those singers that get a no in american idols.
afro symphony lol slap major auto tune on, everyone's doing it
Hello Mix With The Masters! It would be great if they enabled the possibility of translation in the publications ... I would like to know what these teachers are saying! ... Thank you !!!
