This prolly my fav episode bc he really goes so much in depth and not afraid to express his experiences and everything he knows

[@DevvonTerrell]

At all he was super open to everything!

[@arsengevorgyan2901]

Agreed

[@desmondfuselier3839]

Facts!

[@YVNGSHMIRV]

Very humble guy, an engineer with high pride will not answer a lot of those questions. He understood what the Audio Nerds podcast is all about and executed! 🙏🏼💯🏆🔥

Made audio engineering history with the goat himself, Teezio, on the show. up there with Pensado’s Place now guys. Love everything the My Audio Nerds podcast have been doing 🙏🏽

[@HelpMeDevvon]

We love pensados place! without them we wouldnt have even given thought to this podcast!! Appreciate that

[@waynewav]

Finally got to listen to this entire episode. This was legendary. 🔥🔥🔥

[@joshcoxmusic]

OMG I've been waiting for years for this! I've been dropping Teezio name in the comments for years lol so glad it finally happened. My two favorite engineers! Two of the goats. I can only pray to work with these guys one day and share engineering techniques. Huge inspirations! 🔥🤘🎶 ***Devvonn we need Ben "Bengineer" Cybulsky on the show!!! (Strange Music's engineer for many years)

[@HelpMeDevvon]

You are now our engineer summoner!

[@Will-kw2xy]

💯💪🏾

[@naldosrecords]

This is brilliant because finally guys that really know his catalog are asking questions. Teezio always humble and available. Thanks guys!

[@AdelSweezy]

One of the best episodes thank you guys

[@jutsu_]

The episode we've all been waiting for. 🔥

[@HelpMeDevvon]

ENJOY!!

[@Tai-Dye]

It takes such skill to be able to commit to printing mixes. I admire that so much.

[@1KriticalShoota]

DAMN ! THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST EPISODE SO FAR 🙏🏾.! Thanks y’all for sharing PURE KNOWLEDGE for free ! Really appreciated 👊🏿

[@justonemac]

This ep was dope. In fact one of the most informative, begind the scenes look at how some of the workflows and happenings that go on working with artists. I normally listen on Spotify while I commute to work. With my work week starting on Wednesdays, you guys make my 45min drive worth it, putting me in a good place before work. I was wondering where the platform would go to top off the humble beginnings, and y’all have cultivated one of the most professionally present podcasts for us. ❤ Happy holidays to you and yours. Be Real, Be You, and Be Blessed!!💯🙌🏾

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Wow thank u so much and glad we helping u on the commute!!

[@DaveJLamar]

BE YOURSELF. This was my main takeaway from Teezio. Sometimes we overcomplicate things cuz we feel it’s not pro enough if we don’t have a complicated template with all the parallel stuff and whatnot. Of course it takes soooo many years of training your ears to be able to differentiate good from not so good, but then again sometimes even that’s subjective. Sometimes the most obvious answer is the answer. lol great great stuff. I’m glad we live in a time where we have access to all this great knowledge and that there’s so many generous artists/engineers who are willing to share their knowledge. It just elevates everyone as a whole! Again, thanks and cheers!

[@africanCandy]

DID NOT EVER expect a From First To Last name drop on this podcast🔥🔥 still my favorite band

[@bonganiofficial]

Echoing every comment but This is for sure one of the best episodes to date! Informative, realistic conversations that validate so much of our own process but also teach .. keep them coming guys amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Tai-Dye]

Yooo 'george t music' !!! Man D you stay shouting out these amazing people, like Sage Audio another time. Ive learned so much from george t videos, super happy you shouted him out

[@HelpMeDevvon]

George T is the man!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Members check in!!

[@IntravertAudio]

teezio with the gold mine of insights on mixing !

[@itsGMB]

This prolly like the best episode to date in my opinion. 1x for Teezio swinging through droppin gemz. Also, I remember the first time I heard that formant effect on a vocal was on The Weeknd - Initiation. about 12 years ago. Salute 2ya Dev. Been rockin with ya since ya grad from Full Sail and the futuristic days.

[@7fiveproductions242]

If you can share what are you using to make this formant down effect? Thank you!

[@lmayes69]

“Is that you is that a mic “ is CRAZY LOL

[@CEOBlowBlanko]

This podcast just gets better by the episode. Appreciate yal this was fire

[@chemdrum]

Yooo real talk, I think that's the next step or conversation (at least for me) where we gotta talk about the economic side of things as a producer or audio engineer. Lol as much as I love creative and gear aspect, I always wonder how to deal with the financing side of things such as taxes, getting paid and not having to deal with the IRS lol. Also if anyone reading this can direct me to a KZbin link that talks about this kind of stuff, that would be dope! Easily one of the best episodes so far. Still waiting on Jason Joshua and Leslie Braitwaite(i def spelled his name wrong lol) to complete the trifecta...for me at least lol .

[@HelpMeDevvon]

I love this!

[@nicolasdieuvel6796]

By far the greatest episode.. forget the 2 hours, the amount of gems in this episode is ridiculous🔥

[@Ryan93Lion]

I'm watching this at exactly 2:35 a.m. in Decatur, GA. At 2:22 into the video, I am just realizing you're interviewing two other DAW users AND Teezio. This should be swell. Really appreciate the knowledge.

[@DomFratacci]

I LOVE what you guys are doing. Devvon your channel has helped me level up my mixes tenfold! Thank you guys so much for the work that your doing!

Giving game is key to real Legacy, this was very valuable 💯💯💯

[@JeriyahMorris]

The amount of Gems in this one is actually so insane. This was basically a master class without a step by step

[@Skaii40]

I just liked the espidode before i watched it coz i know its about to go down

[@officialjoeynelson]

This Is legendary I wanted to go to NAMM to meet him but maybe next time

[@Ra3dar]

Teezio is such a goat bruh. You can tell he enjoys shedding light on his process. Then Devon, Lj n Kourtneys responses n questions be so goated it makes the whole episode goated bc they bring out the best in theyre guess bc they all relate on different levels. Whenever yall start getting artists!!!!!!!!??????? Crazy

[@Echo-nn8dt]

“Fuck the demo ima do me” I like the word play

[@MT-jk8bs]

Teezio the one! 🔥

[@rafa19912]

With this episode I'm halfway in my Audio Mixing Career. nice Gems shared

[@darionjaikaran4180]

As a fully blind mixer, it’s crazy to hear him talk about the speed hit from just mixing with your ears alone. I think there are benefits and drawbacks to mixing using your eyes. Definitely, looking at the frequencies, it’s easier to identify potential problem frequencies. However, not having site has forced me to really really lock in to identifying frequencies by ear, and that has greatly improved my accuracy and speed. that’s being said, there’s some things to say about seeing my peers look at a plug-in, whacking a frequency, and immediately hearing a difference without mocking about

21:44. I believe that DAW’s sound different. He says himself that he can tell what DAW the beat was made in. I thought that was pretty dope. I’ve been following DT for years. What a great job you and your teen is doing. 🙏🏽

[@steezstudio1686]

@SteezRecordingStudio probably the best engineer Teezio, inspired by CBs vocals but when he came out with the last 3 album ive notice his vocals changed, i loved it and as a engineer i started doing research. Teezio is that guy LEGEND

👏🏾✨ good ep

[@BLVCKatl]

Great content, loved the interview. @1:19:56 you asked zaire to "clip this" i think something that would be cool to do is have a foot pedal that inconspicuously triggers something for your editor or software to know to make a clip of what was just said.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

This is actually genius

[@redeyedigital]

Love the sincerity about our experiences in the high pressure environment of recording and being creative while simultaneously handling the technical!! Great podcast!

[@ijeshwardhillon4927]

if i grow everyday at the end of the year i hate my shiii such a great line ...def felt that and plus melodyne is a gem

[@Otis_Isaacs]

I'm Otis Isaacs, the Cakewalk Crusader. -started on cool edit pro 2, and got Cakewalk only a year and a half ago. haven't looked back.- The way Teezio described his story, his transition from tracking CB to being a full time Mixing Engineer. Is inspiring. I fell in love with mixing so it's nice to hear someone with his expertise. I learned something from like every sentence he spoke. The slap back thing was nice to learn. I relate to the growth everyday 😂 I also hate my mixes from even a month ago haha. I'm actually awe struck while listening to him. Makes me feel inexperienced but the fact of the matter is I am. Bro Devvon thanks for this gem!!!! this has to be one of the most useful videos I've seen recently

[@josiahscottquinn]

The pops and clicks from Auto Tune Pro X come from the tracking knob in the top left. By default it’s at 50 but if you turn it to 100 it’ll fix the issue. If that’s a big reason why people tend to prefer older versions of Auto Tune then that’s an easy fix.
