I couldn’t agree more

This is my fav hour of entertainment for my whole week. Y'all are really good at this

Thank u! We appreciate it!!

Should really extend these to an hour

"Half hour"

[@Iamdanybazz]

This is my best episode fr 😂😂😂😂😂been laughing my ass off Love y’all ❤

[@joshcoxmusic]

I tried to deep dive study mastering for years and I love it but the more time goes by I find myself mixing with a good transparent limiter on the master track and try to accomplish most the sound in the MIX. Maybe I should be using God Particle in that case 🤔🤷 (also the band iMayday! has amazing mixes for references. Bengineer Cybulsky has mixed/mastered a HUGE chunk of all the Strange Music artists and songs. One of the most underrated engineer ever imo) Devvon's face when he started battle raps got me dying laughing 😂😭

[@jgarseeuh]

19:52 Mastering vs Mixing convo for all of you wondering 💎

Blxst IS AN AUDIO PSYVOPATH Too😆🤣😂🤷🏿‍♂️ Reason - Production Serato - Sampling Pro Tools - Recording/Playlisting Studio One - Mix and Mastering @TruthHayesMusic HMD!😂

[@sancessounds]

Mastering is a constant revolving door of processes. It's really hard to keep a consistent flow / process from record to record. Other than limiters, there's time where I have just an EQ and compressor, and other times I can have 6 to 7 plugins on one master. It really just depends on the music and the clients goal for the record. Its legit just like mixing. No chain is correct, but the goal is usually the same. Get it sounding the best it can no matter what you gotta do. Sometimes that's a little, sometimes that a lot!

[@justtae2156]

Y’all should take the MBTI personality quiz. I think Imma call it. Courtney is an ENFP, Devvon is an ISFJ, and LJ is an ESTP.

[@MikeJeezStayTrue]

I got a bar for the engineer battle ❗️ Equalizer like denzel, you'll learn I'm the man quick . Get boosted and cut.. a killer hurtin(KHZ) ya bandwidth 😂🔥🔥

Devon pronouncing the W in “sword” was fucking me up Lmao

[@PLUG.MP3]

LJ'S urge to always interrupt Devon is just funny/ annoying I feel his pain

[@jerycho_walker]

Straight comedy, but also straight informative 😂

[@BENNGIIE]

Come over to reaper where you can oversample any plugin cause it’s built into the DAW.

[@graykeyzmusic]

FL Studio does sound amazing tho. My guy Courtney is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥 today

[@orendjohnsonjr]

Till this day, i still don't get the FL hate. Its better than Pro Tools to me. Everything Pro Tools have, FL does as well, Fl is just more cost efficient and user friendly. People think price and complexity makes better but it doesn't. This isn't 1997 anymore, FL studio has caught up and winning right now.

[@squaddownproductions6264]

Thank you magix sequoia finally getting it's flowers 🌹. Been mixing and recording in magix over 20 years. That program is dope

[@graykeyzmusic]

Myself having Pro Tools, FL and Ableton…. FL BY FAR updates the most.

[@TREES30349]

This is true I have all three also although I get tired of the update sometimes. I wish it would self-update like Ableton.

[@prod.xx808xx]

"I'm in a rapping mode, I'm rapping whole episode."

[@ericb-amuur9897]

I literally just in the last two days finally had a breakthrough and my tracking mixing and mastering. All three are difficult to learn and master but I am learning all three at the same damn time at the same damn time

[@ogmexzy2929]

More references “ special delivery .. Chris brown “ . “ F.A.W.K. By Raahiim “

[@youngmarckson]

@13:23 Devvon became Mr.Krabs meme when LJ and Courtney tried to compare DAW as religion! xD. Wait we not gon skip the producer barz @18:14.

[@Itaintswt]

Yo has Courtney used Ableton Affidavit yet? Cause that would be Hard I’m ngl🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TheStreetScientist]

L Jean is tripping bruh 🤣 name a Popeyes or Church’s Chicken out of the hood??????💀

[@trecksbeats5850]

still OMW is mixed by BLXST, supposedly. if that's the truth , that's wild

[@joldschool64]

Mixing in Dolby Atmos is stupid music is meant to be recorded in stereo can you imagine listening to a live band in Dolby Atmos the bass player playing behind you the keyboard player playing on top on top of you Dolby Atmos is meant for airplanes car crashes footsteps door slamming in other words natural sounds.

[@JTAITSINGER]

I’ve been binge watching my Audio Nerds Podcast. It’s been fun!

[@kennera]

Finally.. An honorable mention for Magix Sequoia/Samplitude Pro. A GREAT mixing and mastering program.

[@Potatosticks745]

Constructive criticism: those bkg rainbow lights are mad bright

Another reference ….. “ Her Way or Recognize by partynextdoor “

[@EngeniusBeatz]

Cubase is Master Splinter, takes a while to acquire skills and techniques but once it's acquired your pretty much unbeatable.

FL Studio has a mid/side monitor mode built in Parametric EQ2.

Idk how but LJ gettin the final word before these ads hit. It happened like 3 times this video😂😂

[@superdopesamples]

shoutout to all the Islam homies using FL 😆

[@showtimeray]

Lol cool Edit. Peter… my guy

[@orendjohnsonjr]

Mastering is actually easier if you know how to tweak parametric frequencies, compress, saturate, stereo image, limit, and fine tune, know your peak levels and you're good. It's actually easier and faster than mixing.

[@machiavelli4428]

I agree.people tend to overcomplicate and glorify things

[@70kchoo]

These vids make my day!🔥🔥🔥

[@BarzaYah]

Y’all are hella funny and always drop gems!! Much love please keep this up!!

[@Joeyelkey]

Taught myself how to record mix and master in FL,so straightforward. Now regularly mix and master in pro tools. How could I reference mixing when things like Master Rebalance exist ? Mastering can change the mix,be hard to reference

[@KeiiVice]

I ain’t gon lie. LJ and Courtney went ballistic this episode, Dev on Meowth timing rn somebody check on him

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Lmfaoo

[@lilwombat]

meowth is crazyyy

If the mix is good then the master is good!

fruity parametric eq2 has linear phase

[@mookeymontana]

Are engineers afraid to touch on levels . You can use every plugin in the world but if you don’t understand Db and lux it’s pointless

[@APJHNSNMUSIC]

33:17 The funniest moment thus far lol. It reminds me of Diddy and the guy from American Idol 😂😂😂 34:00 This is Gold 😂😂😂

[@MoveTrueRecords_]

Im the last peace of the puzzle to this team i use FL, Pro Tools, Reaper, Ableton, GarageBand....

[@arsengevorgyan2901]

Just went through the credits for Blxst's Before You Go album. It's mastered by Chris Athens, with Dave Huffman & Kurt Bradley. Mixed by Lance Powell & Blxst himself

[@Itsanasmusic]

Devvon's life flashinh before his eyes was something I didn't know I needed to see. That shit was hilarious 😂😂

[@otegwupero2890]

give us more freestyles🤣 also here's an idea for you guys how aBout working with the mobile versions of your various D.A.W live on the pod

[@RG_Ville19]

I just think mastering or mixing is 65% easier when have quality Gear..low budget you are the harder it is 2 Hear the transients and stuff

[@akoni1984]

I would cook all three of yall with stock plugins and you can use waves or whatever plugins you would like.

[@SoulStudio19]

Russ produced and composed (in ableton) and got his “there’s really a wolf album” which went certified platinum. Courtney you ain’t alone. #ableton gang

[@BongKongBeats]

Devvon, I watched your videos on beat recording a couple of years ago, I think you have improved your knowledge, could you make a new playlist, how to reduce the beat, process the voice, and do the mastering in stages, thank you

[@TREES30349]

Blxst definitely uses Reason. Just like Mustard... Although Mustard has said numerous times that he gives all credit to his engineer for the final product.

[@deadtotheworld]

Michelangelo = FL Leonardo = Logic Donatello = Ableton Raphael = Reaper

[@tgonnabfamous13]

I low-key dont like to refference mix. I often forget or pull in the reference halfway into mixing the song lol.

[@cosmixescalv]

i think mixing is harder because it's more subjective while mastering is much more objective

[@obeatz_otb]

This has been the most entertaining music podcast ever 😂Devvon’s reaction @33:40 lol

[@Promisques]

So you back to God particle now over the master plan?

[@trespearman4563]

Bro, Sneaky link is the most fire mix I have ever heard. What sorcery did they use?

[@DojoOfCool]

I just saw the title and haven't listened to it yet, but I say Master is harder because it all about your ears, and knowing the sounds of target platforms. It's like the difference between a guitar player and real master musician it's all about ears it takes great ears to be a great musician and the same with being a great Mastering engineer.

[@nikolaosunikgiannulidis8800]

guys, every now and then you should bring up cubase too. your favorite movie-scores and pop songs were produced in cubase
