my bad on yeezus, what you say there is true.

and that may have been intentional at the time but it doesn’t make it any less baffling or frustrating now. I wish I could unlearn my ear for mix/mastering but I can’t and it simply sounds muddy and awful to me now. there's no reason for the clipping, it just distracts from the instrumentation.

I use peace equalizer on pc and would love a preset just for mbdtf. it needs one.

if anyone has suggestions please let me know, otherwise back to the thread at hand

I don’t like when engineers get blamed for a bad mix on a mainstream album.

The artist is the one telling the engineers what they want and are ultimately the ones signing off on whatever the final result is.

Any mix/master issues (on professional, mainstream albums) are almost always the fault of the artist, not the engineer

I wish I knew what ye was thinking! there’s got to be more to it than, eh, I just wanted it to sound loud!

I think it plays into the idea/concept of the album.

It’s this big, expansive, “beautiful” collage of sounds but it’s masked behind a dirty, clipping, cluttered mix.

It’s kind of like the Runaway outro was brought to life as the engineering approach for the entire album
