How Mixed By Ali Mixes for Kendrick Lamar

[@Darksagan]

Its so dope that Kendrick didnt leave Ali behind and even doper that he got to learn from Dre.

[@RealAugustBlack]

Perfect story

[@ShaqKhiElvie]

Ali ain’t mix Mr. Morale tho. Woulda hit different

[@georgetmusic]

@@ShaqKhiElvie yes its a shame he didnt I think he wanted to focus more on EngineEars and his family

[@Notmuchherereallytbh]

@@georgetmusicno one misses on that. They just wanted to try new Sonics with manny.

[@ricochetsixtyten]

A half-broken 200$ mic, just goes to show you dont need a fancy million dollar studio to make a classic album as long as the skill and passion is there.

[@vhill888]

I did a research presentation on Ali for my school project. The more I dig deeper the more respect I got for Ali , Kendrick and Dre. The ultimate knowledge they share with each other are insane.

[@laaa7833]

What made you want to mix and what schooling do you recommend for it? Thanks

[@witarider5476]

@@laaa7833 you don't need school bro just hunger and dedication try and error

[@ShaqSoWavii]

Fire! Ali was the first mix engineer I studied when I began creating music. I didnt know shit about mixing until I started reading about his philosophy and techniques...Definitely one of if not THEE GOAT engineers of our time🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@Bati_]

That's great! If possible, can you please share with me some resources to learn about his philosophy and techniques? I'm highly into digging this as well! Thanks!

[@Tootsieroll22]

I went to high school with Ali. He was always mild mannered & to himself . Glad to see how he’s blossomed 🎉❤

[@AdamFraserTv]

Thank you for ALWAYS providing us with in depth , informative and useful videos .

[@EverythingAwesome777]

This video should have more views

[@SOE11]

He kept mentioning that upright bass, LOL it must have given him hell at the time 😂🔥

[@ALIGEES]

haha

[@jupiterslastmoon7015]

Man thank you so much for the knowledge you are assimilating. I hope you know how much game you are providing here. Ppl can spend thousands on degrees & learn less than you are giving right here on your channel. Much love ❤️ keep pushing fam, you are providing a service that’s hard to even quantify

[@steelokey]

The ending was not as conclusive as I had hoped, but good stuff bro. Keep making more please! I appreciate you putting together this video for us to learn shiii

[@dr.beaulab]

Kendrick Lamar x Derek Ali is the most dynamic duo to change the soundscape of music mixing and the bringing the feeling back to songs.

[@romanboiarchuk2048]

Pro Tip from Ali, he uses Fairchild on Parallel Vocal

[@Whywhatwherehowwhen]

Keep these videos coming man. Loads of gear/technical freaks like us out there that love this stuff.

[@ezekielm9966]

"its okay to not know everything" REAL

[@jasonrsk8]

"when I mix in mono on one speaker I'm able to gage things up an down instead of left and right."

[@jeremiahaugust5886]

I would love an in depth video on how he mixed it. Thank you for all your hard work putting these videos together!

[@JB-mw9pj]

U can tell that up right basse was a fight for him

[@cirro6267]

Yall are the best doing it. For the right reasons. You are keeping this rap shit alive almost single handed.

[@Yawsounds]

[@modernmichelangelo]

Ali is out of this world. He’s amazing. I’ve been listening to Kendrick for a while but I just found out about Ali, and hearing his story inspires me so much as an up and coming music producer.

[@Retrofalcon580]

Finding a good engineer is like finding a good barber- you find one that works for YOU and you pray you can maintain the harmony for as long as you can!

[@alejandrogallardo]

definitely one of my inspirations! thanks for the video! great content as usual

[@thzbeatz]

Dope! I would love more in depth videos of all of this projects - Section 80, good kid m.A.A.d city & To Pimp A Butterfly. Keep it up fam!

[@RSLStudios508]

[@MrEarldawkins]

Great vid and Ali is an amazing engineer. Love the way he doesn't go by the book. Hence is mixes are open and free sonically.

[@georgetmusic]

Couldn't agree more!

God I love this channel, but could you add subtitles to some of the clips that are harder to hear? Like the one with the crowd noise and guy speaking into a headset

[@fastlife9484]

[@Paul-GenX]

Can you do a video showing and explaining the Accusonic recording process used by the late Bruce Swedien and which Quincy jones produced album for MJ you think sonically is the best ?

[@georgetmusic]

I might make a Bruce video soon. The accusonic recording process just referring to the alignment of tape machines I believe

[@garyevansiii4453]

[@tugzzcouncil485]

my pc cant take too many plugins like that lmao

[@Oudda_shape]

I use a 2GB Ram laptop with a mixing template I created on FL studio. I start with my Aux/sends for wet effects like reverb, delay, flanger etc and I adjust them to a good starting point. Afterwards I switch off the effects and work on the main vocal chain then I switch things on and off to get a good idea of what everything sounds like together. It might take time to get used to the process at first, but once you're aware of what you doing it becomes really simple. I've mixed a couple quite a few mixtapes, albums and songs using this process and template. If you use FL studio drop your email so I can send you the template

[@witarider5476]

[@bigjenny7954]

“How I mixed”?

[@StidePrince]

You skip two projects before section 80 - the Kendrick Lamar EP when he first started going by kendrick and overly dedicated then section 80.

[@georgetmusic]

Ye I didn’t cover the lastest and oldest stuff no documentation on that stuff unfortunately

[@lastwarning1]

This video contains the most stuttering, stammering, and mumbling I've heard in a ten-minute period. Whatever these individuals know, they know by accident.

[@FloridaFreak]

I hope you’re not referring to Ali. Go listen to an album he has mixed in the last 10 years. They’re absolutely immaculate.
