DJ Ali and Mike Dean - Pensado's Place  

If your speakers can't handle it, get some bigger speakers - Mike Dean

PLEASE get ALEX TUMAY on the show!!!

Ali is the best engineer in hip hop right now his mixes are incredible!

they really don't want to share there secrets, do they lol

TPAB is an incredible mix

I love Ali's interviews on this show.

mike dean is hilarious!

for a mix like mike deans you can use Fabfilters Pro L limter PLUS slate digitals FG-X limter. yes both of them just like mike threw in there on the sly. 2 Limiters on the master chain. Most likely why he barely needs mastering after his mixes. I've studied mikes mixes and im always referencing them. The fabfilter Pro L limter is great with controlling transients and the FG-X limter from slate is very great with volume boosting without losing clarity. use the pro L right before the FG-X in the master chain. shits beast. its the closest I get to a mike dean sound. @9KDN9 on instagram. kyor gyoti on soundcloud

Mike Dean is a legend (hands down !!!

my 2 biggest production influences in one video. wow.

Should Get J Cole Or Nineteen85

Who the fuck dislike this??? Free Game!!!

Herbs Polo game always on point.

Mike Dean Be crackin me up man

An episode with Dj Quik would be nice!!

Analog 2 Bus summing with gain, AD/DA conversion with an antelope word clock, then run it through your master bus with a transparent limiter plugin or a hardware limiter. Thats the secret chain. I dont know why all of this has to be such a big secret lol

Notification Gang ✊

get dj quik on the show!!!

21:00 is huge.

Classic one 🙏🏽

43:52 "Do we get pro tools?" - Mike Dean classic haha

Hoping to see Jeff Bhasker on Pensado's Place

28:05 bro predicts Kendricks next album title

Will be on this level one day

WOO

Nigga said I got the real shit right here lmfaoooo

WHY DOES HE KEEP BRINGING UP THE SAME STORY EVERY TIME MIKE IS ON

BEEN A FAN FOR A LONG TIME!! --Moshae Music

Great Episode!

Do y'all know of any mixes that don't use delays? Or at least the vast majority of spacing exists due to delays?

without Herb I could easily see these videos being HOURS long lol

:D

did they mention that mastering plugin and I just missed it?

Yeahhh! That Pensado dose. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....

love these chats I always learn so much

WHAT PLUG IN !?? mike dean keeping it a secrete :( the one he said he used on travis album

Funny. notice how Dave chuckles after Ali said how it was easy to mix Mary j vocals in Now or Never because of the tracking engineer. I remember when he first had Ali for Gkmc he bragged about how he was the best engineer to mix her vocals. You guys need to get Juro Mez on here. J Coles engineer. He literally mixed every project

is audio school worth the investment?

This should have been an Ali and Mike convo

what is the scale they are referring for the chronic etc?

So great! thanks guys love these dudes

what plugin 9:39

Thats crazy when he asked what music they listened to as a kid I started thinking about mine & lynyrd skynyrd and was thinking I dont even know about their mixes and then they mentioned em and now I gotta go back and try to listen to the mixes on some of my favorite songs that I never thought about in that light.

wow what a treat,thanks pensado

42:40 secret chain LOL

DJ Ali looks like Dave East

dope interview

nope

Mike Dean distord Travis new album so bad, this distortion sound exacly like FG x, so shame becouse this album its strong in artistic site... please people do stuff loud buy not distort! Ali is the person you should lead...
