I always see brian big bass gardner on all the classic rap albums. Hella albums!
This guy's is a fucking Legend
Tupac, Me Against the World
Alot, man. Alot 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eminem "Darkness" sounds incredible Mr. Gardner. Great work, again.
Yes we gave him stereo mixes. What you're seeing is all of the tracks from the album in one PT session.
he mastered the new calvin harris album ready for the weekend. i used tracks off it recently as references when attempting to master a few dance numbers for ma pals. what a sound the man gets
Brian is the best!!! Love the video and the commentary too haha
0:48 "What's the threshold of red on that"? Looks like -2db, which is standard in Wavelab. He's getting about 2-4 dbs of dynamic range. But Brian is great.
all the stuff at Bernie Grundman Mastering is custom built by their techs. As for software, Wavelab by Steinberg seems to be the choice of the pros. Me, I have all mastering done by someone else - I can't wear another hat! And Big Bass makes it sound soooooo great.
King Big bass, Gardner. ..bowing...
sorry I wasn't very clear. I often call complete songs "tracks." the multi colored files you see in the session are my final mixes of the songs on the album. Brian loads them all into one PT sequence. Although he did treat each mix differently, we did a lot of the same types of things to each of the tracks - probably because unlike some albums, I recorded and mixed every song myself in my studio so any small issues we wanted to improve upon were often the same on every song. Make sense?
Legendary
Why the pro tools multitrack? I figured he would be sent just a stereo mix down to work with.
Hes a legend for sure big bass
just heard the new pendulum. fucking amazing sound
Thea master at work.Lwgend in the game
Big Bass Brian is the man! keep doing your thing!
wow, i could never work with my music that loud, but i'm glad it works for him haha
I've sit with engineers recording rappers and mixing it at high volume. I don't know how they do it but it really works form them. One of them has become a 1st class guy at mastering audio for several artists in Germany.
Great Vid Love The Titles! hahaha
..... to clarify - No not the red knobbed TG. But that is an EMI frame.
Every track and every song?
what is the name of the first song
My Body Your Body by Sweet 17 on the album Supabeat
what speakers does he use?? genelec ?
The ones they are using in the video are MSP5 Studio by Yamaha, it's their pro line that was designed by Akira Nakamura, the genius behind the NS10m Studio monitors.
....... maybe something lost in translation. TG didn't make the EMI transfer consoles.
@Blastphemer no its not, its crushed to fuck. compare the promo "salt in the wounds", which was released before the album was mastered, with the album version, so much more life-like dynamic, wider and clearer.
the only reason it sounds better than HYC and in silico is because Swires production has gotten WAY better
@scooterpietschmusic custom built!! Some maybe - most is stock..... {i see Lavry, maselec and L2 with an EMI transfer console for a start!!} although the knowledge isnt !! hehe
from 3:00-4:00 major magic happens, and stars are made better, but it dont look like it.
..... to clarify - same console frame as Abbey Road.
0:42 min
way too much dynamic compression !!!
You don't know better than him, his name is over COUNTLESS hit records. #1 albums.. not you. So if that's your opinion, do what works FOR YOU.
He recently mastered the 40th anniversary CD edition of Michael Jackson's Thriller. The same year, 2022, MFSL released a SACD (with an CD layer too) of the same album but with different mastering. Just check out which version has better reviews ....@@GulfCoastConnection
One last thing: most of the albums that he has mastered are Hip Hop & Dance music. And for that music genre his mastering makes sense. I've got to admit that. But his mastering is nowhere near audiophile quality.@@GulfCoastConnection
@rhinehund um what? Nobody said TG!!! Check my comment again blind man !! heheh :)
Terrible.
Yeah we know you're terrible no need to repeat it man...
