Nice video bruh. OG here, started producing in ‘94. I studied Chronic 2001 very closely back in the day and it took me about 4 years to get to that sound level in my home studio, by around 2004. The game changer for me at that time was getting access to the UAD-1 plugin system, which was a huge step up from stock plugins at that time. The other game changer was I bought 2 UA-LA610 mic pres around that time and I tracked all my hardware sound modules through those with light compression and into an Apogee Rosetta 800 with Big Ben master clock. I had Reason 2.5 with the drum refill which allowed me to link drums into my DAW straight out of Reason so my kicks and snares were finally on par with Dre. I’d say up until 2004 it was damn near impossible to get that Dre loudness in a home studio. The other thing is it really isn’t about the settings on the gear and plugins so much as it is about sound selection, having the right arrangement that allows the track to breathe and not get too smushed when you throw a limiter on it. My cleanest tracks that pop the hardest typically have very little processing or plugins on them but excellent sound selection. Honestly I started to realize that the more plugins I used, the more mushy my mixes sounded. Less is more if you want that Dre sound. One other really important technique I learned was to play chords and melodies with my left hand not my right. If you sit down at a full size 88 key piano / controller, sitting in the middle, your left hand should be where you play your main chords or melody, your right hand is where the vocals and snare should occupy the sonic space. Before I leaned this my vocals were always competing with the melody but once I shifted the melody down an octave, my mixes opened up and got louder and bigger, and I could drive the limiters and clippers even harder on the drum bus, and master bus. Good video 🎉.

Great tips! And you're right 100%! Less is more and picking great sounds and not cluttering up the song is essential to getting that big smacking sound Dr. Dre had on his records! Absolutely! 💯💯💯

I've been a big fan of Dr Dré's for almost twenty five years. At first, I used to work with an ASR-10 because I learnt he had one for his drums. I read a lot of interviews such as this one. Depending on the era, Ilearnt a few of his tricks. here's a list of what i know and/or do: 1-Don't overcrowd your beat, less is more, as it leaves more space for the few elements of your final composition 2-While programming drums, try shifting the timing of simultaneous elements, even a micro-nudge can do the trick, as the human ear will will falsely assume they hit exactly at the same time and add up the amplitude "in the real world": this trick will help you avoid clipping 3-Among the machines Dr Dré as used at some point you can find a Studer tape recorder (to print the mix), a DAT machine he may still use even if the technology is somewhat obsolete because of a very specific type of clipping. 4-Nevermind if everything is hitting in the red area or clipping: trust your ears, if they tell you it's good, it's good, if they don't solve the problem 5-Use some official drums from Dr Dré's team of producers or known collaborators (you can find official packs from DJ Khalil, Focus, and Havoc) 6-If a sample sounds too small or lacks some frequencies and you can afford it, hire musicians to recreate it and record it with the best equipment you can. 7-All vocals are recorded through a C800G from Sony. Some instruments too. This mic is very expensive but so good you can record almost anything with it. Pointless if you don't have an excellent room to record though. 8-I managed to get very hard hitting drums close to Dré's sound with a combination of these plugins and parallel compression: Soundtoys Decapitator, Sonnox limiter and Sonnox Inflator, UAD LA2A and Urei 1176, Fairchild compressor, EMT250, Roland Dimension (this last one also emulated inside Serum Fx). 8-There is an effect in the ASR10 fx unit that is called Fast Pitchsh. No idea what it really does but I used it and had some success recreating some Dré sounds and also found it useful to emulate Timbaland's sound.

Great video, but at 23:38 area you said he came up the G funk theory, and that's just not true. He commercialized it, but Cold 187um from Ruthless Records Above The Law, Willie Hutch's nephew created that theory. him and Dre worked hand in hand, and during his leave and the start of death row, Warren G was close with laylaw and those guy's in above the law and they basically were influence and took the sound over there, with the help of Chris The Glove and Donovan the dirtbiker Smith they alll were taught how to use the ssl. Black Mafia Life was done in 92 same time NWA's Niggaz4life Album but ended up being help up due to label switches because they didn't want to call them Above The Law but Atl due to it sounding anti establishment,etc. so it came out 45 days after the chronic and if you listen to it, you can hear the same sample like Never missin a beat is dre day, parliament sample flip, its 187 on a mf cooop, that's cold187um whole persona if you listen to it. Living like Hustlers w freedome of speech, the last song, kickin lyrics that was originally all done by big hutch, cold187um. him and dre just went back and recut everything with ssl bc eazy wanted the record to be big and like in big studios, that was 89. Tupac first coined the word G funk (which was named by lawlaw kmg and Cold 187um) on a song with above the law in like 89 titled Call It What U Want, Eazy is in the beginning of the music video. Just to throw that in, and that's facts from their mouth. Alot of ppl skip over history and say Warren and Dre created G funk, but that's not true and in warrens 2018 documentary he stated that. They helped get it big, commercialize it; but that theory came from Gregory Hutchinson, Cold 187um Mansa Musa's mind. along with funky george clinton based harmonizing from Kokane.

Very cool going through this article from an old mag. Thanks for finding this. The thing with the SSL channel compressors is that they tend to let the attack through, even at high ratios (unless set to fast attack, but even then on very fast transient material it still let's some of the transient through untouched) which is actually increasing the dynamic range because the attack is passing through before the compression is happening. That is why those compressors are known and loved on drums because they tighten up drums sounds and add more punch. When using the Brainworx SSL Channels make sure the little LED (Which is the fast attack setting) next to the release knob isn't engaged, cause you won't get the classic SSL punch with it engaged.

Dre didn’t use MIDI sounds on Chronic 2001….Scott Storch played a lot of the keys in real time on the keyboard itself. He may have used the midi controller for some of the bass but I know the MPC 3000 has a lot of those bass sounds in the programs too. Another interesting fact is that Eminem’s aftermath studio now has the console that Dre use to use….that original 4050E series ssl…..it was originally Micheal Jackson’s.

A very nice combo to get that sound in hardware is wa 412 four channels and you could throw some pultecs on it, Presonus studio channel is based on a 1073 architecture and has the same 300 volt power rails to handle high volume signals as the Manly and Neve consoles keep in mind that a rack units power supply will not run as hot as the console. la Chapelle has rack and 500 series power supplies that will have a consoles power and if you want a really awesome sound on a budget get the Mackie 32.8.2 board and run it into a Presonus Quantum 4848 32 channels on d sub connectors in buckets of 8, then i would come out to a uad apollo x8p and use there plugins as your 8 bus. Then instead of going back in slam it to a real tape machine. Let the mastering house take your tapes and bring them up and into digital masters.

How do you like the Fatso? I find it great on synth spreads and choosing the correct frequency to spread out in the Sr. With hard attack and released you can make the entire track hum.

I gotta just tell you something I remember when I was like 19….which was 20 years ago man….but I remember Dre performing on a show…Saturday night live? Late night talk show? I can’t remember but he performed Keep their heads ringing’ live….and he had an instrumental band behind him….they literally were ringing chimes and playing the drums behind him….if you could ever find it, watch it….youll be amazed at the sound. I was infatuated with Dr. Dre after I saw that….it was in 1995-1996 somewhere in there…..I already was into Dre then but after I saw that….it was over for me….then he really beat me over the head when he got Eminem….the greatest sounds ever!

I've taken a bunch of my drums and ran them through a blue stripe 1176 hardware version, and made 1176 processed drum samples since mixanalog dot com lets you use the 1176 for free. 😎

​@@vigilantestylez The Lindell doesn't give you the API console saturation that you can achieve with the Silver Bullet plugin, but to me, the best API EQs are the ones from Red Rock Sound; these ones are super punchy.
