Compton is a product of our modern time so it's definitely mastered better than Chronic, but it's a time perspective thing here. I like how the funk samples for Chronic doesn't sound dirty like other hip hop at the time

making beats sure but pop producers who know their stems and tracks will be going to pro tools engineers anyway, like how their effects/plug ins/automation can be kept within the project file and touched up by the mastering people so they use pro tools.

rather than automation, effects, plug in chains etc being locked into the audio of the stems

Exactly,I really can’t judge Compton cause I barely listened to it after it dropped but I’m pretty sure the mastering is better. But to be able to compare an album from 1992 to an album from 2015 is an accomplishment within itself.

Trav dont produce like you think he does cowboy

Yea,I know it,that’s why I said I wouldn’t trust him,he’d have his assistance trying to work that s***.

Psych, Eazy and snoop brought that loud

y’all this is just a mixing console, it’s a particularly nice one but it’s not like the mega secret sauce or anything

2001

Facts Dre is so amazing at mastering.

nah man that board is just used for mixing. more than likely they would use some synths and some drum machines like an mpc. they’d run all that s*** through nice hardware eqs and compressors and s*** record that and then put it back through the desk to sum everything back to tape. same process for vocals

I know it was a joke about the weed bag

I know I was just saying how amazing that project was and that mixer

Ngl the chronic and 2001 are both overrated

Classics without a doubt but I said what I said.

Yep,gotta lil carried away but I promise,this thing is probably complex enough to the point that everyone that uses it,uses it completely different. Then you have Dre and his team that have damn near created their own signature within the mixing and mastering game on this thing.

Use to think the same thing about both albums when I was younger cause of how familiar the territory both albums explore are. But then you really dissect those albums and realize there’s nothing else like both of them,only imitators. Dre production is so meticulous,you can enjoy the s*** on a very surface level or decide to dissect the s*** and you’ll come out satisfied both ways.

So yeah,it’s very easy to underrate Dre’s work cause of how pioneering and imitated it is.
