- In this very special live stream on May 25th we had the great honor to welcome the engineers Bainz and Flo Ongonga to our live stream. Both have worked with Young Thug, Future, Travis Scott, Gunna, and many more.
Together, the two engineered the vocals for Gunna's latest album 'WUNNA', which was released last Friday. Several tracks on the album were recorded with the Sphere L22.

The exacting models incorporate transient response, harmonics, proximity effect, and multi-dimensional polar response.

My favorite part is 21:22 where Bainz opens up his session to show us what he used for “most of the time” but every single plug-in has the “DEMO(14 DAYS)” stamp on it. Meaning that was his first day trying the plug-in. Lol I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation but just thought that was funny. I’m honestly still sold on the system and thinking of selling my U87 to get two of these for stereo recordings.
he doesn't have his satellites hooked up thats prolly why
I still come back to this interview for tips on tracking. I’d enjoy a part 2 but they covered so much
Thank you so much for the feedback. Agreed that a part 2 would be awesome. I'm sure Bainz & Flo would be game if there's a new production we can talk about.
