Grammy Award Winning Mix Engineer, MixedByAli - Pensado's Place

[@dbreezymuzic]

They're trying to get all of the secrets😂😂😂 Ali playing like he doesn't know all of the equipment and reverbs he used😂😂😂✊

[@sami_got_vibes]

i not saying Ali or anyone is wrong but, the secret sauce is not what they use... Its always how they use it, im telling yall now that Ali or even Dr Dre could give out all his secret sauce but there ain gon be another Dr Dre, he is who he is.. because a poor carpenter blames his tools. Just think how Michel Jackson had recorded his albums in the 80s who mix is still undefeated, they didnt have all the cool shit we have that we have today, those didnt even meet the quality of todays standards. But those mixes sounds like they are something outta the 80s, that shit sounds like something outta the future..

[@SamiDaComposer]

@@sami_got_vibes fax I agree my fav album of all time is thriller because the mixing in that song is so smooth and sexy and out of this world that it’s sounds better then what modern singers put out today even with the better equipment we have now

[@SamiDaComposer]

And this is coming from a engineering myself

[@dbreezymuzic]

@@sami_got_vibes I get all of that...I'm merely laughing at how coy he is, when they ask for specifics

[@fantaztikbeatz]

You can tell he lieing about what he uses because he starts to stutter 🤣 he doesn't want to let the sauce out but IMO it really doesn't matter because if you dont know what your doing with the tools doesn't make a difference at all.

[@BlackCodeBoxing]

When you're a self taught engineer, you just learn new shit every day! It's like they're speaking another language but it feels good whenever you learn a new piece to the puzzle.

[@KronikThePhoenix]

keep doing your thing my g

[@dr.beaulab]

Ali posture is an engineer goal

[@axed1176]

spl vitalizer

[@DREAMINWHITEONWHITE]

It's actually the SPL 2384 MixDream - look up SPL Mixdream + Mike Dean, he specifically likes the Stereo Widening - ONE LOVE

[@Chocokouture]

I wish more engineers take their job as serious as Ali does

[@forthwanderer111]

Fr man, mixing and mastering is one of THE most important parts of creating ANY music and Ali approaches it with such drive and compassion.

[@BuzzinProducer]

This is my guy!!! Been a FAN from the first interview this guy is a living Hip-hop Legend.

[@MajestoMusic]

Everytime Ali or Jaycen is on this show it just feels right. It's like attending to a family reunion that was way past due. Love it! Thank you for doing these videos guys 👍👍👍

[@keithmiller1415]

Lol😂😂 cracked waves plugins💀💀💀

[@thescoobymike]

"I'm gonna go Nardwuar on you for a second" lol

[@BuzzinProducer]

I have been coming back to Ali interviews for year truly a MASTER!

[@monkeyxx]

Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Herb, Dave, Pensado's Place I like this new style of snappy editing and rich-information per second, It's really flattering to the format of the show. Great episode! I'm feeling interested now.

[@LJOS21]

Great Great Great Interview Guys!!! Thank you a lot. Cheers From Venezuela.

[@ninobangz]

Ali's voice is incredible 🔥💯👍

[@revenpots]

"I don´t wanna work harder than Sombody else on their own Craft" MixedByAli

[@ProdParkerJazz]

I lost it when Herb said "I was in the studio with Danny Boy" when he meant Danny Brown.

[@christianmorris6495]

Hell yeah i love when Ali is on by far favorite guest

[@MGTheFuture]

Dope

[@CADILLAKTRACKZ]

OH YA!

[@pico.manengo]

MG The Future 🐺🐺

[@osricb1234]

I been waiting for Ali to come back

[@bhargavdobhal5327]

Thank You MixedByAli and Pensado's Place Great Episode 🙌🙌🙌🙌.

[@yamwast]

Damn. Watching this after the Alex tumay and Mike dean episodes - Ali’s energy & passion is unmatched

[@olumideakingbade982]

Also watch the episodes with Salaam Remi, Noah 40 and Louis Bell - three of the best communicators of the essence of their craft. Mike Dean, one of the best who ever did it, on the other hand, isn't the most talkative person in the world. It took a lot to get a little out of him.

[@Vic3god]

Most people don't understand the subtle flex of bringing up that you use series K SSL vs. a series G SSL....lmfao two greats of all time it's funny as hell to see this banter. I absolutely love Dave picking his brain and Ali definitely knows what hes doing can't tell Dave too much he will know everything instantly😂😂 it's like Jordan interacting with LeBron

[@SaturnsReturn77]

Dave was trying to dig real hard hahaha

[@ju908]

This just became my favorite channel. Thank you for giving the producers the shine they deserve 🙏🏽

[@DJYukie]

I learn so much from this podcast. Thanks a lot.

[@BeattapeFactory]

i always use songs from victory lap and damn. as reference when mixing even if it still doesnt come close

[@prodbytytaan]

One day it will. Keep grinding

[@DocKaosBeats]

Two of the best mixed rap albums I've heard in a long time and I'm trying to get that sound myself

[@cb4iv]

#engineears s/o Ali he’s my mentor on God.

[@AreYouBlessRios]

needed this episode

[@griffenkranz]

Herb the KING of polo.

[@dannyboycinco]

this guy is so inspirational! One day i will get close to that level of greateness

[@jbakebeats]

great episode, big fan of Ali

[@starvalentino]

I'm diggin the new aesthetic!! Feels more home-y and intimate.

[@KENDALATICONSTUDIOSATL]

When you teach yourself the game, you really learn to value your ears. You learn to naturally trust what you hear over what you tweak.

[@PericoViews]

I've learned sooooo much from this channel. Thank you guys so much!

[@ottokalmusic1484]

Ali dropped some gems in this Pensado interview.

[@disickwashere]

Great Interview Guys!!! Could explain the MixedByAli method that applies when mixing 808 with Distressor??? It sounds interesting and new. Cheers From Venezuela.

[@juliannegron1995]

Ali always dropping good knowledge and good vibes!

[@wadewilliams1892]

I love the way Dave changed his tone when he found out that Ali was also using the Reftones 🤣🤣he was about to lay into Auratones in mono - it’s the most supreme mix method in my trials also

[@DocKaosBeats]

If it works it works don't stop doing it if it works for you 🤘🏾😎

[@paulcampbell37]

Thank you been waiting years

[@RioElMystic-999]

Theres a genius behind great music

[@adamturleymusic]

3:34 lol when Herb goes for the fist bump but gets denied

[@GoodxJ]

He's BACK!!! #ali

[@colorofsound]

Soo good !!

[@innaxspace]

27:05 can someone explain the process, which is dave talking about and if this just works on the board

[@dukeneukem4747]

Im trying to figure out the same smh 🤦‍♀️

[@clintonubiquity7437]

When pushing the line input on the desk you drive the sound more into the circuit creating distortion which sounds dope. Helps add punch to the drums. You can get a similar vibe on the CLA SSL Mixhub plugin. Push the drums or kick n snare via the line input and your hear it. Have fun...

[@chuckdagangsta9962]

Great interview inspired from South Africa

[@lapo7568]

SPL VITALIZER FOR WIDE VOCALS . . . .

[@jasonjasonjasonjasonjason]

3:45 this needed to be a few hours long!

[@gabsauvage]

"Dave - We'll get into that. Reverbs ? "Ali - Board compression." "Dave - ??" "Ali - We'll get into that. :) "

[@jonah4586]

The SPL he’s talking about is the SPL Mixdream, Mike Dean was talking about it in his stream and talking about the stereo width. 100% he’s talking abt that.

[@VAMedia-mv8go]

Slick looking new setup.

[@int3533]

Gotta love Ali

[@VictorVFLOYDFloyd]

he was probably talking about the SPL Vitalizer for spread

[@josiway]

Long time fan the of show! Please invite Serban Gehnea to the show pleeease!!

[@alexanderjerry1753]

zen and the art of mixing

[@gigachadd_slu]

[@Dead.33338]

@8:56 spl mixdream

[@ayayay9488]

26:18, sorry English is not my native language, what does he say at that timestamp? SSL World Compression?

[@KingZu555]

[@tarkretz176]

Sick intro!! Blessings from Texas!

[@kicksncapz]

Big question, who is the smartest singer you ever worked with sonically, who knew thier instrument the best(?voice, what it needed) asking all the engineers

[@mickey8217]

Herb's polo game is on fucking point my g

[@Miltersen]

Dave is always keeping it real ;)

[@jacobsmithbass]

“Cracked Waves plug-ins....” 😂😂

[@mikejj436]

Da Mastermind of TDE

[@str8frmthacr8]

"You're not still doing that mono shit are you?" LOLOLOLOL!!! Mixing in mono>>>>>>

[@alimbakh1745]

Ali you are the best!)

[@wadewilliams1892]

At this level I wonder sometimes - the ssl e & g have no recall right? Working on multiple projects isn’t this a problem?

[@Noahtherapper]

ali you thirsty on twitter

[@joon21leatherous]

you boo boo

[@filtafacta]

Awesome! Like a family meet :D

[@gregcelaya1942]

Dream Come True

[@toreanwilson3254]

Did they ever figure out the gear at 9:12?

[@thaslk1beats]

Im about to try that RBass with a kick using a cracked waves plugin 😂

[@supersquare]

Bruh just wait for a sale, it's like $25 now on everyplugin lol

[@thaslk1beats]

SquareB0t I’ve had it for a long time before all these sales. It was a desperate time

[@supersquare]

It's all good man, I was just letting you know! I don't know a single dude out here working who didn't have cracked waves plugins at one point, including myself haha

[@bluematrix5001]

18:18 revs

[@dulla8469]

im from Saudi and i live in italy so yes you are international

[@tranquil5891]

Am i the only one who noticed the hand shakes. Being different? 😂

[@pdalefaja]

I'm still waiting on the conversation about his batter's box "Board Compression" answer for Reverb. Can someone explain???

[@legendsend]

he sends the reverb signal to his analog SSL g-4000 compressor then sends that signal back to the mix. You can achieve a similar effect for cheaper with a waves g compressor, ableton glue compressor, or a hardware stam audio SA-4000

[@primitivespongebob1178]

Awesome! In others there was more information though

[@indigobeatz1526]

Ali you thirsty on twitter, YOU BOO BOOO

[@900millionviews7]

Approach every.mix based on the song. Polka or trap...

[@xavierbrockway9856]

Looking good Dave!! :)

[@mjk9833]

[@SenShika]

Ali !!

[@BkBangatv]

Dope inspiration

[@tinychamberz]

SPL Stereo Vitalizer? :P

[@tinychamberz]

And why did you guys ask so many of the same questions u asked him before?

[@MrRobotboy123]

why they start off like its finna be a serious debate

[@caspermaster-com]

Good episode!!!

[@THECABSOURHERE]

The shrinkage is real

[@rjunnyy]

can someone drop some knowledge for me. I'm tryna understand what they were talking about with "E's" "G's" "Ks"? What are they referring too. just tyrna learn that language to educate myself about this craft. any help would be dope. ty.

[@nebstaism]

They’re talking about the different series of ssl mixing consoles E is the oldest g is later and the k is the latest out of the three

[@rjunnyy]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@nebstaism]

[@Millennialmoney101]

Ladraz engineer school

[@Ladraz]

[@supersquare]

Check the description for the link

[@FalyW]

so dope

[@Jay-v3y]

1ST RULE YOU DONT OWN THE INDUSTRY

[@ali_t9613]

IAM Ali too 😂😁

[@joebrown8207]

is audio school worth the investment?

[@TheChrispablo]

no

[@dblktv]

Especially, now, you just need to find a mentor or enginerr individuals that are in a position to shed light. I attended Audio School in Nyc, its gonna run you +20k. You can acquire the same knowledge for must cheaper but you'll have to want it. If you don't have self discipline, then go to a school.

[@joebrown8207]

Thinking of attending SAE to get a good foundation, but really researching if the investment is worth it. Thanks for the advice

[@dblktv]

Triston Well, id say go for it if its on ya heart. I went to IAR in NYC. I have no regrets. SAE is better from what I've heard.

[@v3zMedia]

You're better off taking that $10k out of that 20 and buying you some great gear. Then go to studio sessions and pay pros to mix tracks. Sit there and pick their brain as they go. Before you know it you'll have a mentor, the gear you bought, clients ect within a way cheaper budget and faster turn around time.... I know a guy with 60k of debt from Full Sail and he calls me to help him. I'm straight out of Trail & Error University. You have KZbin University in 2018. Lol!
