3:10 so the distortion at the beginning of HiiiPower was probably a product of the broken mic plus a bunch of FX. That’s so cool

[@KidsTakeOver]

Correct... 😮 Thanks for pointing that out

[@mahibbalde1433]

This man is so about the craft and I admire that, Now a days I just aspire to work hard

[@KidsTakeOver]

Facts !

[@notsurewhat2put]

This just reminded me of my love for music. It's always been my one true love, holding me down when I felt nothing else did. It reminded me of why I bought a beat maker in 2018. Thank you.

“Let it run Ali!”

"It was 30-60k$ and I just instantly threw it out the fuckin window" Ive never heard anything so relatable

[@taylorstep1413]

I just nailed my first internship as a assistant engineer and I didn't go to school and I am a complete newbie. You don't need to go to school BUT you need to work twice as hard and call around a lot you're competing with people who went to school.

[@KidsTakeOver]

Yup agreed! You hit it spot on.

[@colinrussell3592]

How’s that going?

[@6ense]

When he said "I know you've done other interviews so I won't go through your whole upbringing", I appreciated that and I'm sure Ali did too.

[@williamdalgleish3115]

Great Interview. Loved how you didn't ask the obvious questions, but really dived into getting to know just him. Enjoyed it

Love! Thanks for the appreciation to detail.

[@MikeHeebz]

ALI deserves everything he's worked hard for & more...Such a Legend. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & all you're doing for the community. Respect! Peace + Love. =)

[@kamilslaby_]

Maybe this will help someone. 02:25 Speaking about SD Cards problems. I have a similar problem when recording on the X32 console to a USB stick. I recommend you trying to run >chkdsk command on the Windows terminal to check corrupted sectors on the memory card. This helped me a lot when I had an important talk from the show recorded and needed to deliver it for posting online.

[@Bigp1mpin64]

You mentioned KBeaZy lol I haven’t heard that name in a minute he fye 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@KidsTakeOver]

He’s doing his thing! He just produced Mood which went #1 on Billboard for a long time.

[@EDawg_32]

yo that's dope! i go to the la recording school! Cool to see what Ali's done without the education, straight grind

[@KidsTakeOver]

Yup, everyone has a different path. Just have to make the most of it!

[@ocularrecords]

@ 03:10 You can literally hear it on "Hol' Up" when Kendrick starts. "I wrote this record while 30 thousand feet in the air" Always thought that was on Purpose. Crazy.

[@ronrutan]

Had one buddy sign with Universal (way back 1999) and another buddy go to engineering school (which was in fairness only like a 3-4 program - I believe) on the long shot that if I got on I'd hook em up with an engineering spot.. Didn't work out for me, but he took that lil certification- joined a union and did really, really well for himself. Always said I wouldn't hv had the patients to set through a lot of those gigs (big bird on ice- type shit) but I couldn't have been more proud of em. RIP. Don't let the $ get ya doin' stupid shit; keep yer head

If you still have the memory card and you didn't re-record to it, try using a data recovery software. It only cost $50-200 max, and it should find it
