"Despacito" Mix Engineer Jaycen Joshua - Pensado's Place  

No joke! Loved that tip!

Dexter Bartis Genius right? so many gems in this💯

puppiesinspace Definitely not true ten years or so back and before that, before daw’s were so powerful. As far as every thing coming down to connections and soft skills ... that’s literally every single area in life, no exceptions. Talent is pretty common. Unless you have that next level 1% talent, it won’t matter if you can’t network, communicate, and find a way to navigate your way in. Having the soft skills to go with talent is rare. The former is probably more important than the latter. Furthermore, I could give you a long list of bands and artists throughout history that had a certain sound during a period working with a famous engineer/producer, and then sounding like shit when they stopped working with that engineer. Back in the day, it was very noticeable the difference between engineers and there was incredible variability. Nowadays, I would say everything is closer to sounding the same with digital technology, but there is a few percentage point difference that separates the pro-level from the amateur, and it’s apparent to trained ears that set the industry standards. What guys like Jaycen, Mike Dean, Tumay (if we are talking modern hip hop) do is give songs those last percentage points of separation, and they continue to set the standard for how loud a track can be commercially. If you caught that tip from Jaycen in here ... there is definitely some artistry and expertise that go along with their connections and social skills.

@puppiesinspace whaat?

Sorry, but philosophical knowledge is the essence of understanding a concept or technique

i agree but not in the the audio word where a principal could be the same but all of the possibilities have different character

IKR dude dope

Beautifully said

@brenttauromusic: That's a #SnappleTopFact King

Sick Beats Productions I’m doing a research essay on him right now!

@@ItsMeStyles nice 💪💪

I second this

Lmao 😂

Ти да видиш хахаха

check out the previous interview he did on here, its even better

Seen it. Awesome too!

Same here - I feel you on that one lmao😂

No doubt

bubsbeats lol same thing I was thinking

lol ikr

Shyt wild

same here!!

And Distortion :)

Right?! Killer tip!

Whts the time place for this tip.

cla 2a blue version? cl76 no?

can you elaborate more if you know.. about the shelf wave curve he used ?

this is smart

Pm me

@@natewilliams2426 Yo please let me know if you have any leads! Would be a dream come true !

@@natewilliams2426 ????

can i get it too??

mikey mokey SHUT UP

Just flip one side. Left or Right. See the scope, the wave is going to be horizontally instead of vertical.

“Outside the speakers” is “out of phase” signal. Is an stereo effect, not to be heard in mono.

McDSP MC2000, inside is the four-band multi-band compressor with the name MC404. Not the Maag, it's the Eiosis AirEQ.

@@MeinePrivatVideos do you know what gear he is talking about at the end, 10 am analag gear?????

INVINCIBLE “10M” is a clock from antelope audio.

Seems like that is what he meant yes. I don't really know what's the big deal about this because it seems like a standard low cut from 300hz or so.

You mean low shelf ? He says he's using shelving instead of bells. For cuts he says he cuts @50-60hz

Jan Magdevski lost me on this one

izotope 4, hard to get it now...he is still using izotope 4 on master bus

actually he is saying multi, multiband compression .. i guess

He's talking about splitting a signal into multibands and apply a crossover. Eg: 808 split into low, mid and high frequencies. This gives more control over what you want to process

@@garogarogaro Nope. RVox has an exciter to make the vocal feel like it's in your face. And a gate of course. And Rcompressor is just a great all-around compressor, especially for vocals. There's the "Warm" sound mode that grabs on vocals really nicely.

Need to know this.

tomkillsjerry what is that with slate plugin? I have slate

just duck it with the volume. not actually cutting/trimming. .. just ride the volume down when it hits together.

thanx

It's not volume riding; he was actually talking about trimming the individual 808 hit; he went on to explain that you can draw in a super-quick volume fade after you get it just right, "and then copy paste it". So it's shortening the 808 a tiny, tiny amount, and then fading it in, rather than trying to manage it with a compressor or other automated tool. It's a great way to work - you can zoom in all the way, see the changes in volume represented as you draw them in, tweak it to hit absolutely perfectly with the kick, then paste the result throughout.

just sidechain it to the kick

You can side-chain, of course, but ... he's talking about a much more finely-tuned way of getting the 808 sample out of the way for at most a couple milliseconds, where you can (a) mute the 808 sample entirely for a part of a cycle; (b) draw in a volume curve that's far far shorter than the recovery time of any compressor, so that the 808 hits exactly when you want it, but you just eke out that tiny bit of extra headroom by keeping the front-end of the click entirely with your kick sample, rather than the 808. Hence why he brought it up; everyone side chains, but he feels this gets him an extra degree of control - and loudness - that side-chaining doesn't allow for.
