“At Solar, Dre produced on a cutting edge SSL mixing console that producer Rhythm D likened to the Starship Enterprise”

I always wanted to know what Dre used to produce The Chronic and this doesn’t surprise me. No wonder his production sounds so immaculate,this is probably the music equivalent to an IMAX 70MM camera or some s***. I can make a whole thread about The Chronic itself but I just wanted to share this.

The Chronic a Top 3 greatest rap album oat,no debate. I don’t think it gets enough appreciation. It’s a Gangsta Rap album that every other Street album tried to imitate but just couldn’t.

group buy?

Always thought it was made with this

No lie,I wonder if a modern day producer would know what to with this? I wanna say Travis would but I don’t even trust him lol.

aren’t there boards in major studios like this currently anyway?

i’m pretty sure any mixing or lasting engineer uses something similar

That’s 2001 but that still might be an SSL Console. I think these things are way bigger than that pic suggest.

"yo where's the bass at"

I know, I was trying to make a weed joke

The boards do look somewhat similar though

Theres no way all those knobs are neccessary

Nah,he just didn’t mix and sequence on it,he made the beats on them as well.

You can prob do the same s*** on a 4 figure laptop nowadays.

when you have somebody behind the board like Bernie Grundman who mastered this album then yes all that s*** is necessary

ngl haven’t played the chronic in like 12+ years

Then why does nothing else sound like The Chronic or 2001 based on mixing and mastering alone?

I know one guy who would. Focus prob "assisted" Dre a lot. Even he had a team of dudes behind him.

Run that back please

damn bro i bump this album at least 2 times a month. it never gets old for me

thats a lot of buttons
rather listen to 2001

I’m also like 12 years older than most ppl on here. I played it a good amount when I was younger.

thats understandable tbh

I honestly don’t understand

This too tho

Chronic sounded a little dated when I first listened to it

2001 timeless tho

So it’s like a big ass mpc or some s***?

I wonder when it got popular to start using DAWs
