TIMESTAMPS! Who should we interview from TDE though…? 0:00 - Vancouver 1:10 - Arshan tells Ali about his audio issue during the SoFaygo interview 3:10 - Ali used to record Kendrick Lamar on a broken mic 4:17 - You need to go to school to become an audio engineer? 7:00 - FrvrFriday, Baby Keem 8:25 - Does he enjoy working on hits or deep cuts? 11:10 - Kendrick gives Ali total creative freedom 13:20 - Him and ASAP Rocky’s engineer quickly mixing & releasing a song after Kendrick’s verse on it got leaked 15:00 - Engineers SAVE artists sometimes 15:55- How Ali is changing the engineering world today (EngineEars) 20:00 - Going on tour and seeing his attendees in tears 20:45 - Ali listens to every single beat on USB’s that people give him 21:30 - People DM’ing him to make the Kendrick and J Cole album happen 22:05 - Credits
This just reminded me of my love for music. It's always been my one true love, holding me down when I felt nothing else did. It reminded me of why I bought a beat maker in 2018. Thank you.
I just nailed my first internship as a assistant engineer and I didn't go to school and I am a complete newbie. You don't need to go to school BUT you need to work twice as hard and call around a lot you're competing with people who went to school.
Awesome interview, thanks for making this! Kendrick been a legend and really cool to hear about some of the behind the scenes of the music. Producing and mixing hella underrated
ALI deserves everything he's worked hard for & more...Such a Legend. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & all you're doing for the community. Respect! Peace + Love. =)
He could have just been referring to kendricks album. Did not specifically say Cole x Kendrick is dropping. Cole already said that shit isnt coming out
@ 03:10 You can literally hear it on "Hol' Up" when Kendrick starts. "I wrote this record while 30 thousand feet in the air" Always thought that was on Purpose. Crazy.
Maybe this will help someone. 02:25 Speaking about SD Cards problems. I have a similar problem when recording on the X32 console to a USB stick. I recommend you trying to run >chkdsk command on the Windows terminal to check corrupted sectors on the memory card. This helped me a lot when I had an important talk from the show recorded and needed to deliver it for posting online.
For that SoFaygo interview issue try using iZotope RX-8, helps isolate unwanted frequencies/background noise and lets you cut sections out like an audio-photoshop type ting
Had one buddy sign with Universal (way back 1999) and another buddy go to engineering school (which was in fairness only like a 3-4 program - I believe) on the long shot that if I got on I'd hook em up with an engineering spot.. Didn't work out for me, but he took that lil certification- joined a union and did really, really well for himself. Always said I wouldn't hv had the patients to set through a lot of those gigs (big bird on ice- type shit) but I couldn't have been more proud of em. RIP. Don't let the $ get ya doin' stupid shit; keep yer head

3:10 so the distortion at the beginning of HiiiPower was probably a product of the broken mic plus a bunch of FX. That’s so cool
Correct... 😮 Thanks for pointing that out
This man is so about the craft and I admire that, Now a days I just aspire to work hard
Facts !
This just reminded me of my love for music. It's always been my one true love, holding me down when I felt nothing else did. It reminded me of why I bought a beat maker in 2018. Thank you.
“Let it run Ali!”

"It was 30-60k$ and I just instantly threw it out the fuckin window" Ive never heard anything so relatable

Yup agreed! You hit it spot on.
How’s that going?
When he said "I know you've done other interviews so I won't go through your whole upbringing", I appreciated that and I'm sure Ali did too.
This was such a REAL ass interview with Ali dudes! Awesome work! Loved this!

Hey, thanks for the interview, I think Ali is a three time grammy winner, DAMN + TPAB + This is America
One of my favorite music mixers next to a few others..
Love Ali interviews
You guys NEEEED to get isaiah rashad on here
Good album promo too

#SonicDopeSeller #SwabRecords tuned in!
I’m back for more knowledge
yo that's dope! i go to the la recording school! Cool to see what Ali's done without the education, straight grind
Yup, everyone has a different path. Just have to make the most of it!
Nothing weird about asking for a second interview, Kerwin said that the interview he did with Demarco took 3-5 attempts lol
This was a dope interview!
Maybe this will help someone.
02:25 Speaking about SD Cards problems.

Good stuff mane
this was hard
Genuine shit right there. ☝🏽🏆
You mentioned KBeaZy lol I haven’t heard that name in a minute he fye 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He’s doing his thing! He just produced Mood which went #1 on Billboard for a long time.
Legend 🙌🏼
This was a good fucking interview!
For that SoFaygo interview issue try using iZotope RX-8, helps isolate unwanted frequencies/background noise and lets you cut sections out like an audio-photoshop type ting
Just cool 😎 🔥
Great one

Ali must host a workshop in South Africa that would be great
This is dooope

Did mans hook you up with a mix for your camera audio? 😂
Honestly I forgot about that 🤦🏽♂️
@@KidsTakeOver nahhhh no way don haha
Less go
🙏🏽
I see you Ali
🔥🔥🔥
sr, but what kind of platform save the producer he sad in 15:15 ?
Oh nah, I said there’s a specific engineer @kultargotbounce who saves artists
@@KidsTakeOver thank dude =)
Which SSL Board is that ?
Yo I'm that kid with the flash drive in NZ wassup
NGL Kendrick sounded the best on Section 80, that broken mic sound is fucking legendary.
If you still have the memory card and you didn't re-record to it, try using a data recovery software. It only cost $50-200 max, and it should find it
If only there were more like ali
bro is huge lol looks like a giant
Did he end up helping you with the sofaygo audio?
Nah we forgot and then I ran into JID at the same studio 😳😂
@@KidsTakeOver You saw JID?!?! I hope you got his contact info
Ali knows sofaygo
Let’s goooooooo
‼️
Love the content guys, I'm here in NYC, if you ever need an extra hand on the production of this content, give me a shout
Woah
GOOD Interview #DrakeLikedMyPost

If Ali is saying he might be able to help out fixing their audio means to me that Kdot album is done 😂
