Yes I do. I mostly just get level, maybe a touch of compression, mono the low frequencies and maybe some tape saturation.

Ermin is such a well-spoken dude and a killer mastering engineer. I've worked with him a number of times and I always trust his ears to deliver the final sheen.

[@marcusbishop8936]

Bruh, I watch this guys KZbin videos on sim racing. How did I not know he was this clued up on music? 😂🙌🏻

[@BrofUJu]

Lmao, he's mastered huge albums!

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha yes, he told me about that!

[@Producelikeapro]

@@BrofUJu yes! He has!

[@mannysmiclocker]

We love Metal ;)

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! We do! Ha

[@mr.dumpling9241]

Ermin's book Systematic Mixing Guide is the sole reason my mixing chops massively improved. Highly recommended. Anyway, great to see him on the show. The dude is a legend.

[@Producelikeapro]

That's amazing to hear!

[@alexsherwood6788]

Hey Warrem! Can you do a video on your favorite production techniques from multiple music genres?

[@Producelikeapro]

That’s a very interesting idea indeed

[@st33Npuist]

Nice cap. =) #33

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha

[@JeighNeither]

The mic on Hamidovic is ironically difficult to listen too, it sounds like a call from Moscow to Havana circa 1977. It gets worse the closer he gets to the diaphragm so I guess he's got a hot mic.

[@nicholasmullins3693]

Hot, compressed, and too close.

[@DJSoulbrother]

I know him more for sim racing hahah

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha yes! That's a great channel

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

Yes, very well said!

I wish I had coined that but it has stayed with me for many many years. My voiceover mentor John Galt (RIP) told me that in the very beginning.

Love Ermin and although some think he comes of dickish I don't see it and really think he has a great mindset and way of approaching things. Great interview!
