Mike Dean Building a Track Is Analog Synth Mayhem | The Process 

yeah....

amen

“I repurposed the oscillator knobs into delay throws.” lol bruh

@@Corleone01_Just follow the path you took with the other synth. Use the same waveforms.

loved hearing that

Incredible

True statement 💯

I agree, tho I'm pretty sure they just recorded everything and Mike mixed it for the video?

Great point, easily overlooked!

Yes, they perfectly captured Mike’s bong phlegm sounds, as well as the beautiful and awe-inspiring music he creates. Package deal.

Yeah if ANYONE tries to say Mike ain't nice like that, show them this video, this is the epitome of sonically on fucking point. Mike just knows what he's doing better than most people on this earth.

Facts mike for the win

Top 5 of all time for sure.

@@jwizdum2103 yea man Mike is insane wit it

Someone tell me please how every beat this guy makes imo sounds like the most incredibly humongous and epically astonishing intro on the planet and yet each one is bigger and better and more badazz than the last wtf🤯 he studied Beethoven he claims.. Thats quite obvious sir 😂

the first 2 things i play on every poly synth when checking it out... terminator and bladerunner theme

Me listening to this new Yeat album

He definitely uses the guitar like Brad fiedel does in his movies

Yeah how has he not done a soundtrack before?

I was thinking the exact same thing, he's like a modern-day Vangelis

He already did TENET with Travis Scott. Admittedly, it's a Travis Scott song, but on the side of production Mike perfected it.

I think that would be an interaction worth filming. Mike Dean passes a blunt to Hans Zimmer and asks about his thoughts on a CS 80 split

Hans has a whole team of composers, Mike rocks out solo.

@user-xq2yc3ep4h You literally have no idea what you're talking about hahaha

@user-xq2yc3ep4h do it better we r waitin

@user-xq2yc3ep4h”And you are know what you’re talking about?”

you're so hilariously wrong @user-xq2yc3ep4h

@user-xq2yc3ep4h I'm talking about an iconic synth that goes from $40,000 - $125,000 used. I'm just going to assume you're a a bot or an NPC at this point.

100% truth

oh, the pinnacle of studio tours is legowelts "synthesizer" doc ;) Just joking :)

This was great, if only it was a full length documentary honestly. Reminds me of when I used to actually buy CDs and they'd sometimes come with a 'making of' DVD that had some fooling around, but a lot of REALLY great insights into the process of writing and recording. Coheed & Cambria GAIBS:IV is a great example, Rick Rubin is featured in there a few times along with a couple of STILL unreleased jams.

@@OfficiallyMaidenless ​ I miss the days of CDs, and back then they were really pushing their sales by including stuff like DVDs because record companies knew everyone was downloading stuff for free. *Coheed & Cambria* though…oh man, what a blast from the past! Here's a cool story for you: In October 2002 Co&Ca were on a small tour of the Northeast US - in a crappy van pulling a tiny trailer full of their equipment - self-promoting their Delirium Trigger EP. They were playing this little church's parish hall in Middleboro, MA to roughly 100 people, and only 40 were really watching. Their set was messy, and Claudio's glasses kept falling off as he bounced his head and got sweatier and sweatier. Still, the music was _excellent_ and they had an unquestionably powerful presence. After the show I bought their EP. They were looking some good cheap pizza, so I walked them to the nearby Central Café. The whole time I was getting tidbits about their DIY tour and Claudio's complex and fantastical themes behind his lyrics. I was blown away by his creativity, which was very inspirational to me at just 16. A couple years later, they were signed and playing huge shows - they were even on MTV. Though I never got to hang with them again, it was _AWESOME_ to meet them under those circumstances.

cause hes mike dean aka the synth god

If there's anyone in this world it is probably him😂

Analog sound

Cause you haven't listened to much music, lol. 90% of what he did here were standard synth tricks (arpeggios and reverb), based on two or three diatonic chords. Very simple arrangements. But you're entitled to love it of course. I also like it. But it's predictable and simple to the extreme.

@@lukehunnable he's probably talking about the quality of the sound. Most producers/musicians use synth emulators. He uses the real stuff

That moment blew my mind

I mean, just even having a fog machine in your studio (I mean a real one not just a glass one). The guy is an entertainer showman without even trying.

amigo cuando estaba viendo el video me puse a pensar ,mike dean y the weeknd habran hecho musica?ahora leo que fue telonero cuando vino a river ..me la re perdi,como .habran sonado esos sintes ahi ,zarpado no?

@@monoblock15beats51 Fué un concierto sensacional, una super producción.

la intro fué épica

does he do shows under his own name? or was it with a band? thanks

@@gagealbright he was on his own, playing guitar and keys but I can't remember what was his stage name in that concert. I tried to look for the poster to see if I could find his stage name at that instance but I haven't found it. Sorry my friend.

Reverb left the most important part out

@@VagPoop_😂 💁‍♂️

@@VagPoop_ They didn't...At 3:18 he straight up fires up a bong lol

is it really mike dean if hes not ripping the bong@@DmitryChmelyov

Don’t think we’re ready for that friend. I mean, imagine.

they are working together on the weeknd's new album

There’s a picture of them together in the studio with The Weeknd.

Oooo I would shit my pants

mike did the Atmos mixes of Again and they've def worked together on Weeknd stuff

And like every other artist ever that’s worked with him

Great to know I don't have to feel alone. Thanks Mr.Dean.🙏

Man, I got to play an original minimoog the other day, and it was simultaneously really fun, and also frustrating. I've played so many VST and hardware emulations of that synth, gotten perfectly good sounds, and I figured that the real thing couldn't sound that much better. Holy shit was I wrong, the difference is not subtle, the real thing sounds so much better. Maybe the difference wouldn't be too noticeable in a busy track but even then, I'm not sure; either way it single handedly ruined emulations for me lol

​@methyod stem a track out through analog gear and every DAW will sound paper thin from then on 😂

Analog bliss, my friend. It's incredible.

Big same-we had been trying to do this for years and jumped at the chance once we had it

Guess you aren't looking at the credits of the biggest hip hop tunes of the past 20 years 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@DJ_Melech Not being a fan of hip-hop, you are quite right. 🙂

And the bit where he waves his dick about. And WHERE has the bit with the sheep sacrifice gone???

No more weed allowed on RU-vid 😂

Good thing I downloaded the original version before it was deleted 😂

I figured that was what it was! It was like a 3 second part. 😂

lol

in the rap and trap community yeah

😂 my thought was David Lynch

maybe a Pog...

apuesto a que es un vst jajajaj

must be awesome 🔥

I was just thinking to test that because it sounded like that to me too.

sounds like distortion plus and octave pedal to me

Wondering why it has to be kept on the DL?

@@TNNLZ because it’s sauce

looking for that too

Probably the same patch
