Sorry Dave but I would have to agree with everyone else. You never let him answer a question, I would have liked to know what plug ins he recommend for small studios or beginners.

[@Hundred100]

looks like the pros dont like to share too much their secrets lol

[@credenza1]

I was intrigued by the concept of the different ways of hearing of mixig and mastering engineers. I would have liked to hear a more developed discussion on that idea.

[@777Yoni]

Gene's expression at times is priceless. At :30, he looks like he's watching a horror movie. Thanks for both of your efforts.

[@itookthepill]

thanks for telling me a 2nd time, that you both are absolutely amazing.

[@jtpinnyc]

With all due respect, I would have NO complaints about this video if it wasn't for the title! It didn't offer any tips at all. But having said that, I still enjoyed watching it. If it had been titled "A short chat with Gene Grimaldi" then nobody would be bitching, lol.

[@SnarfieMusic]

The take home is to get connected with someone you respect/like their mixes and to continue being active learners. No plugins make or break a mix and neither do any "secret" techniques.

[@rjkhanijaon6717]

everything was so vague and overly general. I think if you are interviewing a top mastering engineer, we could have learned so much more than we did from these questions.

[@SirAudio1]

Hey dave can we do more of these but let the mastering engineer do all the talking. I'm sure they know what information they need to share

[@RandBSoundTrack]

Man I died on the inside when he didn't let him mention the plug-ins he uses 😩

[@bhargavdobhal5327]

Thank You Mr.Dave Pensado and Mr. Gene Grimaldi 🙌🙌 Really Helpful Video🔥🔥.

[@JonDye]

Car checks! Good to know I'm not the only one.

[@nicksaya]

DAVE can you do an Into the Lair on Proper Gain Staging while mixing? Thanks

[@molecularization]

"I don't want this show about me" ...how about letting the guest speak without interrupting.

[@danpfeifer7618]

I swear I saw this months ago. Maybe during one of the shows?? Isn't Dave at Echobar now?

[@gorbear619]

Gosh, I wish the interviewer would let the guy talk. i.e. 5:16. I'd LOVE to have known what "types" of plugins he uses!

[@azeguitarist1]

Dave, with all due respect, when you ask a question give your guest enough time to develop an idea and speak it before you ask another or interrupt. Respectfully, Aaron.

[@williamdeshazo8257]

Dave I love the show, but I know nothing new about how to improve my mixes for mastering. Whether mastering engineers use plugins, get used to a pair of speakers, or how far back the 2 of you go teach me nothing I can implement. Please revisit this topic with more beef, or retitle this 2 part series to "Just Hang'n out with a Buddy of Mine That Has Mastered a Lot of Great Records".

[@khoivinh3402]

A "conversation" between 2 masters. 🙏

[@jacobnoone7408]

Damn yall talkin' poke and stab and shit, its some real prison shit, this engineering game.

[@boondawksaints]

Wow people there were actually some important things that were said ! Stop taking things for granted.

[@jsmoove446]

still no talk about bouncing/mixing down techniques.........none of these other things matter at all if you are bouncing to wav/mp3 in pro tools lol. no talk about what specific mastering software he uses, no talk about how he prefers to receive mixes or how he finalizes his mp3. nothing about dither, nothing about using tape. it is unfair to ignore these and pretend it's a reveal all teaching experience. if u don't want to tell us the whole truth then don't tell us anything

[@chucksano]

Part 1 and 2 sum total of information revealed = this particular Mastering engineer likes it if people mix in 24 bit. Then + 19 some odd minutes of shaft stroking.

[@axmMusic]

I never put ANYTHING on my stereo out master bus :\ I don't even touch the fader!

[@salvatoreengelbert2934]

Check out Raz Klinghoffer he's a great mix engineer that works for pretty cheap...

[@DIGTHEBIGRIGG1]

stop spamming Pensado's videos and riding his coat tails

[@NorthernSkiesMusic]

brutal. as always.

[@DJSoulbrother]

So much hate on this, be appreciative of all the free information people, He doesn't HAVE to do this, jes*s chr***

[@sammeusick]

gosh that old guy talks too much please shut up sir and let him talk

[@colinmurphy3478]

I am sorry but Dave P is getting worse with each episode.

[@universemediallc]

that's so sad. I think Dave did that on purpose. I honestly don't need or care about the specific plugins....but MOST people do. That's just terrible. VERY uninformative video. But I'm glad they're great friends.... Yeah, I like Dave and the show....most of the time. But come on guys.
