Tony's the real deal, He gave details on all aspect of mixing, from emotion to technical parameters. One of the best interviews.. Dave as always delivers the intricate analysis we all love him for.

[@jamiekuse226]

Tony Reminds me of a dentist. A very talented mixing dentist.

[@sanctipaprichio]

i can't unsee this :D

[@c4n0]

ill go architect

[@OleVinny]

In reply to the ITL; Another trick I've recently used to get sharper esses in my mix: duplicate the vocal track. Put a de-esser on the duplicate and put it to "listen" mode, which isolates the esses. Now you can mix that in with to original or treat it with distortion, EQ, comp, etc. to make it do what you want.

[@catalystdrums123]

wow great idea

[@malakairaymond3449]

i know I am kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream new series online?

[@eddierylan2647]

@Malakai Raymond flixportal :)

[@malakairaymond3449]

@Eddie Rylan thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!

[@eddierylan2647]

@Malakai Raymond happy to help :)

[@amon5682]

Dave is just an unbelievably nice guy.

[@amon5682]

NaSaKiD1000 wtf is your problem

[@VividMixing]

"My favorite mixes create images in my mind i dont care if they're the correct image or even the image the mixer wanted me to have , I just want a damn image." Dave

[@Crossfire2003]

I think that Tony Maserati is a smart & humble person. An engineer that pays attention to details & the opinions of his clients. A guy of relationships. No surprise that he's so successful!

[@mauricejones9834]

It's a treat to watch these 2 living legends discuss mixing.

[@michaelpulmanmusic4008]

Over the last few years I have got into Mix Engineering and Producing and I have to say these guys dont get enough credit in the industry.

[@mcjoseSJC]

showin some love and respect from Brazil guys!!! no words to say thanks for the incredible school-channel-show!!! big knowledge ! long life! future revolution. peace and love!

[@JasonAir]

Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you so much Pensado's Place / Tony Maserati!

[@TadRapidly]

i'm learning a shit-ton just listening to these guys talk, and I'm not a mixer, I'm a composer / musician. I'm starting to "see" (hear) holes in the sonic landscape of my compositions. very cool.

[@nathansmith7335]

two masters discussing their craft - mesmorising to watch - and I am glad I understand what they are talking about.

[@SanctuarySound]

"Anyway....It's like Chinese water torture" I have so many one liners from Dave I can use on customers that are most of the time...ice breakers.

[@JasonBalibanProductions]

If I ever have a question on how to conduct myself, I just watch video with Tony Maseratil.

[@joecandido]

I hope you will get better artists in the future, you re the only thing still healthy in this useless music market...maybe only Al Schmidt still have good material to work on...

[@KyleDunnSharptonStudios]

stubbled upon this channel, now im addicted lol

[@Wicktones]

Lest we forget thanking #HerbTrawick for turnin #youtube into a more useful source of information than any $7,000.00 Recording Shool. Yall already know what you're doin for us TRUE schoolers, but your impact on the children with this vocational interest at heart is worthy of top honors.

[@calebrosazza]

my band just got in an argument with out producer about whether or not cowbell could be a hook and we cited blurred lines. thanks for settling this

[@bennnbrown]

What an amazing interview with a living legend. I love how you get into the nitty gritty, and was excited to go back and listen to blurred lines after learning of the 8th note/16th note delay tricks is using!! I always learn something new Herb and Dave! Great work!

[@PWalden762]

Right on, I was thinking the same thing.. I learn so much from this channel!

[@mickeymiguel2726]

Tony is a Genius

[@hummarstraful]

Loved the entire interview. Tony is such a deep thinker,

[@JMLRecording]

Love the channel! Can we change the roadhouse 1992 Rosanne intro music? It so waters down the show to me... again-> love the show though thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DavidDiMuzio]

So interesting listening to this now year’s later knowing that Robin didn’t actually participate in the writing of Blurred Lines.

[@Benstar16]

One of the best interviews, no lie

[@moffatbanda6001]

I like tony s works, a great mixer indeed

[@KayMuller]

That made me laugh being almost 60 and never loved rock more than now. I often smile to my self at Daves deplomacy twards the art he works on . And I wonder what he realy thinks.Cause to me some is just t.v. comercials gone horribly wrong or something. Forgive my frankness LOL. Not all U understand

[@myemo123]

Oh my god the ITL just blew my mind wide open!!!!

[@NicenEasyuk]

Seriously man, you guys are too cool. My mixes have increased 10x in the past half a year. And it's not even because of ITL. It's just attitude towards the mix. It is indeed, all about 'feel'. Mixing's no longer a science for me

[@Wicktones]

"Blurred Lines" aint no "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"

[@MrMemyselfandi415]

WOAH!! @34:28 Did I just hear Dave say that it was "dark already" BECAUSE it was 24 bit? Meaning 24 bit files are darker than 16 bit files? OR did he mean that it was dark already because of the way the producer recorded it down, and the quality of the sound was already in the file when it was sent over...and therefore he wanted it in 24 bit so he got the clearest picture of the way it was recorded from the get go? I'm totally lost on this. Just in case I didn't ask that clearly...let me rephrase it.....Is he saying that 24 bit files are naturally darker sounding than 16 bit files etc? 16 bit files are brighter? That's heavy to me because I normally associate 24 bit with more headroom....depth.... space and clarity.....not color. That's some deep stuff if that really is the case and I'd be extremely grateful if someone who is well versed in this would fill me in. Thanks.

[@JuiceGodBeats]

I love this show

[@Studio201]

great interview!

[@khoivinh3402]

Every single person deserve more Love in Pensado's place thank you sir for inspiring our generation and up coming gen.

[@brimdog]

You guys are simply awesome for putting these shows together. Just have to say thanks for everything you guys do for us!

[@joshuaadams181]

Starts at 12:09

[@ItsThe1300]

This is so informative and at the same time so funny!! I totally love the show!! Maserati is really cool!! :D

[@SomebodyPickaName]

HD stands for "Herb & Dave."

[@clarksouter]

When will they talk to Mark "Spike" Stent?!!!!

[@MegaTreeBark]

nice hitting em with the cigar scotch combo

[@janosmolnar1]

Love your plugins Tony . I will buy them all when i can afford them.

[@thechannelitrollwith1645]

Those "mmhmm"s in unison hahaha.

[@Sprangeful]

Also, what are the records you are talking about? One with Robin and Pink?

[@Justbrowsingsoflo]

F*&^%$#G GREAT EPISODE! Love this show

[@dtej00]

great episode.. I just have the craziest idea: you guys had an episode with Jens Bogren ! he's one of the hotest names in the mixing rock and metal world right now. if you guys don't know him check him out.

[@philippes1987]

41:21....best moment of the show...."oooh god!"

[@revol40]

Awesome show! Tony Maserati is an inspiration.

[@MCEEZR]

P.P. is my deserted island youtube show

[@LakiLOOP]

There is better way to isolate sibilants, instead of EQ you can use FabFilter Pro-DS with Audition Triggering button, you can hear on which parts of the audio Pro-DS is triggering. This helps you choose an appropriate Threshold level as well, making sure Pro-DS is catching all necessary peaks without triggering on anything else; and use that for triggering expander.

[@jasperamanuel]

You guys are so real! Amazing stuff!

[@unpracticalrunway]

Would you care to let us listen to short excerpts of the tracks you are talking about, because you might not know this: but not everyone is super focused on the lives of the artists you invite... We don't necessarily know what track they are talking about (even if you think it's supposed to be super famous), so being able to hear excerpts would help make sense of all the great material they are saying in the meantime. Otherwise I can't even tell if he is right or wrong :D

[@RVM2M]

As much as I love the guy, I can not get on board with him mixing that absolute disaster of a track. Not even from a mix standpoint but all of the allegations of copyright infringement as well as the extremely rapey undertones!

[@PRSOne]

Really? He sounded like he was making it up as he went along. Though most of Dave's interviewees seem to in comparison.

[@philippes1987]

Must admit, that song "blurred lines"...I don't really like it....but the way it was produced...and mixed....it has balls!...in today's pop world, hard panned isolated elements and quieter vocals is a gutsy move....bravo!

[@AmpsforBuddha]

Another Excellent show guys! …I have an idea for a contest. Someone, somehow wins a day with a pro ("It's me, Dave! Let me in, man. I got the stuff"). A day of apprenticeship, where we can learn how to pull off a great mix with what we have. …Just to throw that idea out there into the universe.

[@williamwrenner]

genuine

[@Sprangeful]

What is this CLA 800 hz you are talking about at 19:31

[@TadRapidly]

i'm an old fart but i have an open mind when it comes to music and I like all kinds. I listened to a Beyonce "song" ,(i never did previously) the other day and I couldn't believe what a piece of crap it was. I was shocked. Too bad these guys talent is wasted on that crap-heap! man!

[@Fishoilification]

it's music for the kids

[@norepetitivebeats]

"i have an open mind when it comes to music and I like all kinds" "I listened to a Beyonce "song" ,(i never did previously) the other day and I couldn't believe what a piece of crap it was" Ironic.

[@LaGoofProductions]

Cowbells are people too.

[@tcdnb]

I watch every episode at least 5 times!

[@antoni7515]

Wow...i cant believe how good that show was! Probably as good as the CLA and JJP episodes! Thanks a lot guys for this incredible information...you really are the best! ;-)

[@atomicjoeofficial]

Wow I see a lot of Pro-Q in the "Into the Lair" segment! Liking that plugin Dave? I've been in love with everything FabFilter makes lately!

[@lemyleopard_]

Thank you Dave and Herb for this amazing conversation !

[@marleycarroll]

Probably the Avid D-Fi family (Lo-Fi is one of the included plugins, and can do sample rate reduction and saturation)

[@fragment7]

i just wanna sit down watching these guys work in a studio, even if i only have to be the janitor..i'd learn aalot

[@7Wooya]

BEST SHOW EVER!! Thank you guys sooooo much for this :) P.S. will there be any chance for Jeff Bhasker on interview someday?? I love to see him on this show :)

[@ordreancien]

Tony Maserati is a great professional, smart and humble. Love this man !

[@atomicjoeofficial]

Just Give Me A Reason by Pink

[@heartpharmacymusic]

Best video I've ever seen on KZbin. I feel so good after watching this. Mr. Maserati is brilliant. Explained everything soooo well. Thanks Pensado's Place! -Ali-

[@elsueco3802]

Great interview with a real master! I love his attitude towards artists. Getting to know the artist is key, but it's also an effort. To many producers and mix engineers just do their own thing.

[@Coldlife565]

Could someone tell what topics the touch on in this interview so i know if it interests me?

[@KelonRush]

Watching in 2022 🙃

[@ShawnGuess]

and so and so forth, lol. i like Herb's twist on "and so on and so forth", haha.

[@zbox98]

where do you find the answer to the vintage king question from dave?

[@DjSadhu]

Love it guys

[@Momentum88]

where is the answer to the vintage king guy question?

[@SikanderHayer]

ITL video editing was awesome. The ITL again was a great lesson too! thanks guys!!

[@ipresent]

44:11 Batter's Box (My favorite part of every show!)

[@shankadams]

its too bad that the song is pretty lame. great mix..but it seems to be all about the video. that said, tony is very inspirational and someone we should all look up to. thanks for the interview.

[@DanielCardin_ATX]

So how do these guys know each other? Dave and Herb? Are they buddies that decided to start a KZbin channel and just started making these badass videos or what?

[@BobSubgenius]

+Daniel Cardin Herb is Dave's manager

[@KernRamsdell]

just another awesome show from the best team online

[@ryannanney5183]

Awesome show! Mr. Tony is a smooth as the scotch he drinks.

[@shadegat3996]

In context of Dave's videos - i have picked up some good tips, but i find he only says what he is doing and never explains in steps by showing us how he is doing what he does. They are not really like tutorials in this sense. It would be nice if he showed us a process step by step , showing how to do what he is doing in practice not just in theory.

[@boondawksaints]

That's because every situation is different and remember, like u said, its a tip not a tutorial

[@Wicktones]

Great insight, as always.... THX Mr. Maserati, Dave!

[@Hasselherman]

This might be a stupid question to some, but sometimes you gotta ask those questions to learn. Was blurred lines monophonic? At 23:00 Dave talked about that the effect of the panning in the song wouldn't work if the song was stereo?

[@WaxingRadiance]

Go listen to it with headphones then without, you will know exactly what he means after about 30 secs of listening. It's an effect, the same way stereo was an 'effect' in the days of mono. Mr M's description of imagining the instruments as people in the room is very good. Every sentence in this interview is a gem. Good to see two friends talking shop.

[@Hasselherman]

***** I see, that made sense. Thanks for taking the time

[@WilliamSSmithIV]

35:32 Why did Herb pretend to write in the note book? WTF?

[@marianogabrielconti8150]

maybe he was nervous, also maybe he wrote Lo-fi after Tony said those words with great emotion.

[@maxdishaw]

HAHAHAH

[@christopher60s]

Dave, where the good old NS10s gone??

[@jeffwilken7241]

Dave is such a freakin sweetheart. 💙

[@LarryWashingtonMusic]

Great Show!! You guys are the Best!!!!
