i not saying Ali or anyone is wrong but, the secret sauce is not what they use... Its always how they use it, im telling yall now that Ali or even Dr Dre could give out all his secret sauce but there ain gon be another Dr Dre, he is who he is.. because a poor carpenter blames his tools. Just think how Michel Jackson had recorded his albums in the 80s who mix is still undefeated, they didnt have all the cool shit we have that we have today, those didnt even meet the quality of todays standards. But those mixes sounds like they are something outta the 80s, that shit sounds like something outta the future..
@@sami_got_vibes fax I agree my fav album of all time is thriller because the mixing in that song is so smooth and sexy and out of this world that it’s sounds better then what modern singers put out today even with the better equipment we have now
You can tell he lieing about what he uses because he starts to stutter 🤣 he doesn't want to let the sauce out but IMO it really doesn't matter because if you dont know what your doing with the tools doesn't make a difference at all.
When you're a self taught engineer, you just learn new shit every day! It's like they're speaking another language but it feels good whenever you learn a new piece to the puzzle.
Everytime Ali or Jaycen is on this show it just feels right. It's like attending to a family reunion that was way past due. Love it! Thank you for doing these videos guys 👍👍👍
Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Herb, Dave, Pensado's Place I like this new style of snappy editing and rich-information per second, It's really flattering to the format of the show. Great episode! I'm feeling interested now.
Also watch the episodes with Salaam Remi, Noah 40 and Louis Bell - three of the best communicators of the essence of their craft. Mike Dean, one of the best who ever did it, on the other hand, isn't the most talkative person in the world. It took a lot to get a little out of him.
Most people don't understand the subtle flex of bringing up that you use series K SSL vs. a series G SSL....lmfao two greats of all time it's funny as hell to see this banter. I absolutely love Dave picking his brain and Ali definitely knows what hes doing can't tell Dave too much he will know everything instantly😂😂 it's like Jordan interacting with LeBron
Great Interview Guys!!! Could explain the MixedByAli method that applies when mixing 808 with Distressor??? It sounds interesting and new. Cheers From Venezuela.
I love the way Dave changed his tone when he found out that Ali was also using the Reftones 🤣🤣he was about to lay into Auratones in mono - it’s the most supreme mix method in my trials also
The SPL he’s talking about is the SPL Mixdream, Mike Dean was talking about it in his stream and talking about the stereo width. 100% he’s talking abt that.
Big question, who is the smartest singer you ever worked with sonically, who knew thier instrument the best(?voice, what it needed) asking all the engineers
he sends the reverb signal to his analog SSL g-4000 compressor then sends that signal back to the mix. You can achieve a similar effect for cheaper with a waves g compressor, ableton glue compressor, or a hardware stam audio SA-4000
It's all good man, I was just letting you know! I don't know a single dude out here working who didn't have cracked waves plugins at one point, including myself haha
When pushing the line input on the desk you drive the sound more into the circuit creating distortion which sounds dope. Helps add punch to the drums. You can get a similar vibe on the CLA SSL Mixhub plugin. Push the drums or kick n snare via the line input and your hear it. Have fun...
i already did schooling in music production and audio engineering and have mix many songs, my question was since he said he is taking in mixers to work with him, how to apply?
can someone drop some knowledge for me. I'm tryna understand what they were talking about with "E's" "G's" "Ks"? What are they referring too. just tyrna learn that language to educate myself about this craft. any help would be dope. ty.
They're trying to get all of the secrets😂😂😂 Ali playing like he doesn't know all of the equipment and reverbs he used😂😂😂✊

And this is coming from a engineering myself
@@sami_got_vibes I get all of that...I'm merely laughing at how coy he is, when they ask for specifics
You can tell he lieing about what he uses because he starts to stutter 🤣 he doesn't want to let the sauce out but IMO it really doesn't matter because if you dont know what your doing with the tools doesn't make a difference at all.
spl vitalizer
It's actually the SPL 2384 MixDream - look up SPL Mixdream + Mike Dean, he specifically likes the Stereo Widening - ONE LOVE
I wish more engineers take their job as serious as Ali does
Fr man, mixing and mastering is one of THE most important parts of creating ANY music and Ali approaches it with such drive and compassion.
Ali posture is an engineer goal
When you're a self taught engineer, you just learn new shit every day! It's like they're speaking another language but it feels good whenever you learn a new piece to the puzzle.
keep doing your thing my g
fr
Lol😂😂 cracked waves plugins💀💀💀
I lost it when Herb said "I was in the studio with Danny Boy" when he meant Danny Brown.
Everytime Ali or Jaycen is on this show it just feels right. It's like attending to a family reunion that was way past due. Love it! Thank you for doing these videos guys 👍👍👍
"I don´t wanna work harder than Sombody else on their own Craft"
MixedByAli
This just became my favorite channel. Thank you for giving the producers the shine they deserve 🙏🏽
Hell yeah i love when Ali is on by far favorite guest
"I'm gonna go Nardwuar on you for a second" lol
Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Herb, Dave, Pensado's Place I like this new style of snappy editing and rich-information per second, It's really flattering to the format of the show. Great episode! I'm feeling interested now.
Great Great Great Interview Guys!!! Thank you a lot. Cheers From Venezuela.
This is my guy!!! Been a FAN from the first interview this guy is a living Hip-hop Legend.
I been waiting for Ali to come back
I've learned sooooo much from this channel. Thank you guys so much!
Ali's voice is incredible 🔥💯👍
I have been coming back to Ali interviews for year truly a MASTER!
this guy is so inspirational!
One day i will get close to that level of greateness
Damn. Watching this after the Alex tumay and Mike dean episodes - Ali’s energy & passion is unmatched
Also watch the episodes with Salaam Remi, Noah 40 and Louis Bell - three of the best communicators of the essence of their craft. Mike Dean, one of the best who ever did it, on the other hand, isn't the most talkative person in the world. It took a lot to get a little out of him.
great episode, big fan of Ali
Thank You MixedByAli and Pensado's Place Great Episode 🙌🙌🙌🙌.
I learn so much from this podcast. Thanks a lot.
I'm diggin the new aesthetic!! Feels more home-y and intimate.
Ali always dropping good knowledge and good vibes!
Most people don't understand the subtle flex of bringing up that you use series K SSL vs. a series G SSL....lmfao two greats of all time it's funny as hell to see this banter. I absolutely love Dave picking his brain and Ali definitely knows what hes doing can't tell Dave too much he will know everything instantly😂😂 it's like Jordan interacting with LeBron
Dave was trying to dig real hard hahaha
When you teach yourself the game, you really learn to value your ears. You learn to naturally trust what you hear over what you tweak.
Sick intro!! Blessings from Texas!
I love that new intro yes!! Fresh outlook
Gotta love Ali
#engineears s/o Ali he’s my mentor on God.
Ali you are the best!)

MG The Future 🐺🐺

One day it will. Keep grinding
Two of the best mixed rap albums I've heard in a long time and I'm trying to get that sound myself
Dream Come True
Dope inspiration
Great Interview Guys!!! Could explain the MixedByAli method that applies when mixing 808 with Distressor??? It sounds interesting and new. Cheers From Venezuela.
He's BACK!!! #ali
Great!
Dave is always keeping it real ;)
Looking good Dave!! :)
Ali dropped some gems in this Pensado interview.
3:45
this needed to be a few hours long!
3:34 lol when Herb goes for the fist bump but gets denied
Da Mastermind of TDE
Great interview inspired from South Africa
I love the way Dave changed his tone when he found out that Ali was also using the Reftones 🤣🤣he was about to lay into Auratones in mono - it’s the most supreme mix method in my trials also
If it works it works don't stop doing it if it works for you 🤘🏾😎
“Cracked Waves plug-ins....” 😂😂
Good episode!!!

Ali you thirsty on twitter, YOU BOO BOOO
💘
im from Saudi and i live in italy so yes you are international
"You're not still doing that mono shit are you?" LOLOLOLOL!!! Mixing in mono>>>>>>
At this level I wonder sometimes - the ssl e & g have no recall right? Working on multiple projects isn’t this a problem?
Am i the only one who noticed the hand shakes. Being different? 😂
The SPL he’s talking about is the SPL Mixdream, Mike Dean was talking about it in his stream and talking about the stereo width. 100% he’s talking abt that.
ali you thirsty on twitter
you boo boo
alllllliiiiiii!!!!!!!
Big question, who is the smartest singer you ever worked with sonically, who knew thier instrument the best(?voice, what it needed) asking all the engineers
I'm still waiting on the conversation about his batter's box "Board Compression" answer for Reverb. Can someone explain???
he sends the reverb signal to his analog SSL g-4000 compressor then sends that signal back to the mix. You can achieve a similar effect for cheaper with a waves g compressor, ableton glue compressor, or a hardware stam audio SA-4000
I know im not supposed to be focused on it but "It aint Ralph tho" thats all imma say . Besides that great interview
It is Ralph 🤧
Im about to try that RBass with a kick using a cracked waves plugin 😂
Bruh just wait for a sale, it's like $25 now on everyplugin lol
SquareB0t I’ve had it for a long time before all these sales. It was a desperate time
It's all good man, I was just letting you know!
I don't know a single dude out here working who didn't have cracked waves plugins at one point, including myself haha
Approach every.mix based on the song. Polka or trap...
27:05 can someone explain the process, which is dave talking about and if this just works on the board
Im trying to figure out the same smh 🤦♀️
When pushing the line input on the desk you drive the sound more into the circuit creating distortion which sounds dope. Helps add punch to the drums. You can get a similar vibe on the CLA SSL Mixhub plugin. Push the drums or kick n snare via the line input and your hear it. Have fun...
26:10 and im santa clause...
"Dave - We'll get into that. Reverbs ?
"Ali - Board compression."
"Dave - ??"
"Ali - We'll get into that. :) "
@8:56 spl mixdream
26:18, sorry English is not my native language, what does he say at that timestamp? SSL World Compression?
board compression
The shrinkage is real
18:18 revs
After some time it became very musical... ALL I UNDErSTAND.... G... O YEAH..... E.... NO... 100......K GK.... GJK... OK
why they start off like its finna be a serious debate
Did they ever figure out the gear at 9:12?
SPL Stereo Vitalizer? :P
And why did you guys ask so many of the same questions u asked him before?
like his 4th time?
"two rubber nickles"? lol
Jeff Trinkle hahaha
found them on ebay the current bid is two plastic pennies
IAM Ali too 😂😁
Yo!
how to apply to be a mixer? only seeing if you are an artist
Ladraz engineer school
i already did schooling in music production and audio engineering and have mix many songs, my question was since he said he is taking in mixers to work with him, how to apply?
Check the description for the link
can someone drop some knowledge for me. I'm tryna understand what they were talking about with "E's" "G's" "Ks"? What are they referring too. just tyrna learn that language to educate myself about this craft. any help would be dope. ty.
They’re talking about the different series of ssl mixing consoles E is the oldest g is later and the k is the latest out of the three
Thank you 🙏🏾
rjbiz no worries 👍
