    I mean the real story is cash snuck nav onto the song while no one was in the studio which is why it came out like that

    Respect the hustle but now since the drake diss I feel like cash was swinging an xo chain in front of travis’ face in the studio lobby for 15 mins for nav to punch it in

    Just my theory

    swining xo chain in front of his face is hilarious

    no it's pretty s*** from a technical standpoint past just weird recording technique

    but i think w donda the sound ye was going for was over-processed AI-core tiktok stuff. think like fanmade carti remixes that were huge around that time. so a lot of the technical shortcomings are probably artistic choices and not just f***ups by the engineers.

    Nah.

    I think it was just rushed, or he just doesn’t really care.

    Explain that first release of Life of Pablo.

    i see this sentiment a lot of the time recently within the rap community

    so many casual listeners are now complaining about or critiquing mixing

    anyone else notice this?

    mixing doesnt bother me unless my ears hurt or i cant hear u or the vocals are obnoxiously loud

    99% of people have no idea what theyre talking about when they discuss mixing. even the ones that do are misguided and don't understand that if it's a competent artist we're talking about 9 times out of 10 the unorthodox mixing is intended. you can say you don't like it, but calling it "bad" when it's art we're discussing is nuts

    nah if it was rushed they woulda fixed it.

    also peep my post abt the pop smoke song lol. i mean theres no way u put something so poorly engineered on ur project by accident. im pretty sure the donda sound was meant to be ass by traditional standards lol.

    keep in mind i do not like that album tho so im definitely biased lol

    On a mainstream level, it matters.

    Independently, I could care less.

    I see it as someone who just listens to music either in the background and/or now and again, but who doesn’t look up lyrics or really engage with it, beyond having it on because it sounds nice, or the lyrics in the chorus speak to them.
    There is nothing wrong with this, but they have different listening habits, and different things are important to them.
    They also outnumber the more hardcore listeners at least 20 to 1

    Thanks for the explanation famo

    From a technical standpoint you are wrong

  • Shooa

    i miss when ye would actually record in studios

    Yup
    And you can’t blame the engineer when it doesn’t sound good. Only so much he can do with a bad recording . That’s mixing 101 . Get it good from the source

    dawg listen to the fkn noisegate lol

    nah that sht was dirty bc they were recording out the closet type s***. not like a perfectly clean mix was even an option. i think he made the dirty mixes work rlly well tho, to a point where it might be a less appealing listen with a super clean mix

    Notice that most albums sound good in reverse order . Wonder if that’s part of mastering

  • Im always posting on this site i dont even know what mixing is. When I watch YouTube videos like peso palace where they teach you how to change things i never hear the differences they say are different. There’s no way that many people can tell the difference too theyre bullshitting. Unless you make music or something

    why didnt they just cut his verse lmao

    they didn’t know hahahaha it was literally the last day of mixing/mastering at mike deans before they had to submit

  • Junkyardawg

    Thanks for the explanation famo

    No problem

  • Mozumozu

    Most talk about mixing because of being fantanostylepilled and because the listener has become the critic as opposed to the enjoyer. No one know how to take a song in these days. Besides me, of course

    that critic as opposed to the enjoyer line hard as hell! i’m def saving that

    tyler cherry bomb unlistenable

  • Never understood it either. Pretty much any song I see criticized for being mixed poorly sounds fine to me. I use AirPods pro so not even bad headphones. If you make music it’s understandable that you notice stuff like that but if not it’s just weirdo nerd behavior imo

    Everyone think they an engineer, if they wanna hear good mixes they shouldve signed up to tidal when it dropped... beggers cant be choosers dunny

    Na not to do with mastering, that’s all sequencing which is up to the artist/label
