In todays video a take a look inside mike deans legendary home studio. I take a look mic deans vocal chain. the vocal chain mike dean uses to record kanye west and travis scott. I take a look at mike deans monitoring setup. how mike dean uses the ns10s and tannoy 215. Then I take a look a mic deans synth collection and how he gets his synth sounds

The whole point of checking a mix in your car is to see how it translates from the studio. If you custom design the car's audio system to sound like the studio, you've missed the entire point.

[@BeachCrew100]

I think it’s all about getting your ears used to a system.

It's not Neve 5060, it's Rupert Neve Designs. And NS10s don't sound crappy, they are really hipped in the mid range.

[@beatsbyrena44]

Yeah, NS10s aim right at the point of doing the room treatment and all, they are very flat and are crucial magnifing glass for mistakes and how things really sound. I suppose the tannoys and dolby room are very flat too

[@georgwalt7978]

those are first generation inward comps and eqs, the comps are "fairchilds on their best setting" as CLA put it who also bought em when they came out in the 90s

lol ns10s are just showing a flatter signal and mostly mid range everyone using it for monitoring not because they sound bad

[@freebeat2289]

whats the point of checking the mix in your car, when it has the same sound system as your studio? 💀

[@svengali5862]

There is literally no point into listening to mixes in cars as 99 % of cars have terrible surround sound systems and you're also listening to things out of phase if you're not sitting in the middle of the car. Don't do this as your car will not give you a clear image of what your mix sounds like and you'll most likely make terrible decisions to "fix it" once you're back at the studio

[@logicbk]

I may be the only one who thinks he’s not that great of a mixer. He’s a really good producer tho. Irko did a great job on Donda and it was refreshing to hear Ye’s music so open!

[@danshanmusic]

Literally mixed ‘watch the throne’ with one ear.. everything he’s touched sounds great to me, which mixes do you not like ?

[@logicbk]

@@danshanmusic I’m not saying it didn’t sound good but it wasnt great to me. Listen to Can’t tell me nothing vs Off da Grid on Donda. Shit is almost night and day. I dont expect mix engineers to all sound the same, but for my preference it was refreshing to hear how big and open Donda sounded. Granted it could be the sounds Ye chooses or if he’s using the ASR vs something else, but shit just sounded so dope on Donda. It looks like Ye eventually asked Mike to go in and make mix changes cause I see his name in the mix credits now.. But the first version of Donda, that mix was great bro. It sounded like the sound Ye was looking for for years (remember Stronger). But again, Mike is a beast on everything else, just think his mixes are a bit too 2 Dimensional. Just my opinion. Irko did his thing on Donda

Mike Dean's mixes aren't really that great , they're always very harsh and brickwall smashed. Rodeo was very hard to listen to because of the terrible mixing Mike Dean has done so yeah I don't really care about his "secrets". Yes I came just to comment this

[@estebanb7166]

I like a lot of his projects, but I have to agree.

[@svengali5862]

@@estebanb7166 I think his imagination of being a mixing and mastering engineer comes from his work on Yeezus , album that was smashed brickwalled BUT by engineers who know what they're doing. Mike's imitation is laughable at best but we can blame Rick Rubin for that because he's the one that started the "louder is better" movement

[@DerpySwag]

Who says that brickwalling is always bad? I still hear colourful mixes, with deep subs, great transients (despite this limiting), mono compatibility, and GREAT use of the stereo field, great mid/side going on. Idk why you came to hate on a GOAT of mixing and mastering bro you literally know nothing
