    I worked as a staff producer at Deathrow and left when Andre created Aftermath Entertainment. AND THIS IS THE TRUTH that you're sharing. BUT,... the combination of all the gear he ran hits sonics through was the overall sauce, before the AD/DA flow during mastering. Key is, Dre knew he wasn't a mastering engineer and he allowed those engineers to do what they did,... YAHDIG! Great post George T.

      Of course not as he provide no explanation of the *why*. The device is the Lavry Gold, a super expensive A/D converter, the „secret source“ tho is the soft saturation or better soft clip feature. It shaves the peaks of the signal and adds saturation in a very nice sounding way. Clipping is the „secret“ way to get your mixes louder, as you feed a more condensed signal into your compressor or limiter. They can also add very clean punch and grit to your signal without distortion when done right. And Saturation is the key if you want a clean low end to translate well to all speakers, even if they are not capable of reproducing the low frequency content. But obviously the sound selection and mix needs to be top notch before, the device won’t make a bad mix great. Nowadays everyone and there mom uses clippers, without them the loudness war wouldn’t happen, but at this time very few people knew about it and even if a Amateure engineer couldn’t afford a 8000k converter anyways.

    • @HOLLASOUNDS
      @HOLLASOUNDS 9 місяців тому +2

      Basically the technique is a blend of hard clipping the audio by turning the sound into the red on the mixer then use a compression with a fast attack to round off the clipped audio wave form. Now this only works without becoming a muddy distorted mess because of the sound selection an a EQ mix which put the audio of each element in it's own frequency space. This is why Dre regularly used the same basic sounds about 8 in near,y all his beats which includes a Mini Moog style bass, leads, pads with piano and trumpet. Try it your self use a basic grand piano sample, trumpet and a basic synth bass and se e how easy it gets loud without distortion vs a project full of ofher sounds.

    Everybody talks about mix and mastering but the real reason he's a legend is the songs themselves, the melodies, drums, vocals.. all of which were done by other musicians. This equipment won't make you great and it's not made or engineered by him anyway. Not to mention that the quality of mix and mastering is foremost determined by the arrangement and choice of sounds at the beginning, you shouldn't place so much importance on post production, very unhealthy trend nowadays.

    Dre mixed analog, there is no secret voodoo sauce to it, Akai samplers going into Solid State preamps on the SSL mixing desk or later on the Neve 1084 box he had in his home studio (you see it when Eminem is there recording Slim Shady ep), the G-Series Eq's and onboard channel compressors, hitting the 2-inch Reel to Reel tape machine hard (probably Studer), the choice of Reel Tape brand, different reel flux have different sound qualities. His sound was pretty dry but he surely had some Lexicon Digital reverb to hand as you see the PCM on his own or the studio's mixing desk in photos of the time. The rest was the Mastering engineer and his custom setup.

    • @pac0re
      @pac0re 7 місяців тому +2

      100% ... hard driven tape was THE sound of his drums. Tape also adds incredible depth and distance without need for reflections. Thats why he needed very little reverb just to fill out the gaps. All of his tracks have a longish reverb acting as a drone, it helps with the flow of the dry uncomplicated rhythms.

      that all sounds right but Dre wasnt the only one rockin the G series. Dre would use the same sample as someone else but on their record it sounded like a shitty sample & on his record it sounded better than the original. i know they used the same mpc60 that premier & everyone else used, I kind of have to assume the same s900/s950. I understand Dre plays that EQ like its an instrument lol but it has to be the compression right? that hes doing & then naturally to the tape as well

  • @RealDealy
    @RealDealy 10 місяців тому +12

    To me, it was the first "Chronic" album that is his best production. Next, to the second NWA album
    It has the perfect dynamics of all the sounds, BUT still has that strong bass with good clarity
    The "Chronic 2001" seemed like it just made the drums louder, but it took out the other instruments' dynamics, which is why I don't think it's better then the first Chronic album. Still good, but if a producer can recreate "The Chronic" with todays technology, it will change the game cause back then music was mastered for vinyl, which means the bass couldn't get loud if you have a lot of other instruments in the mix, but Dr. Dre made it work
    Today, you can record in a high bit rate, which means you can leave the bass loud, and still have room for other instruments, to give a nice dynamic between instruments

      When I listen to Dre's most recent projects, 2015's Compton and the The Contract EP, something about the sound is off to me. The high frequencies are almost piercing as opposed to the more balance eq spread of 2001 and The Chronic. I'm assuming a few things, these newer projects are during the loudness wars and also, like most rap projects I hear today, tone-wise there seems to be a heavier focus on the mids. The mids are really dominant today I figure because tracks nowadays need to translate even more to weaker speakers like laptops and phones.

    SSL gbus compressor and Oxford inflator are two vital parts to Dre’s sound. More during the mix, not master.

      @PatchDog 9 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, Oxford Inflator being a plugin that was created in the mid/late 2000's was obviously the vital part of Dre's sound. Come on bro. Dre mixed analog, there is no secret voodoo sauce to it, Akai samplers going into Solid State preamps on the SSL mixing desk or later on the Neve 1084 box he had in his home studio (you see it when Eminem is there recording Slim Shady ep), the G-Series Eq's and onboard channel compressors, hitting the 2-inch Reel to Reel tape machine hard (probably Studer), the choice of Reel Tape brand, different reel flux have different sound qualities. His sound was pretty dry but he surely had some Lexicon Digital reverb to hand as you see the PCM on his own or the studio's mixing desk in photos of the time. The rest was the Mastering engineer and his custom setup.

    These are all proven geniuses with a million times more knowledge than I and a proven system, BUT... mixing your vocals higher than what you actually want them seems... flawed. It seems counterintuitive to produce a +final mix+ that doesn't sound accurate to what you +actually+ want?
    Shouldn't a mastering engineer be able to compensate for this, themselves?

    • @VersatyleMusicGroup
      @VersatyleMusicGroup 9 місяців тому +1

      The burl is very nice. It has a transformer in front of the converter so it will give a slight color and saturate a little bit but it will also add some weight if the mix needs it. The conversion is very very good as well. Lavry is definitely more detailed tho. Like lavry is like a fucking mirror of the source. I've never heard anything literally not lose anything when printing in the A to D accept a few converters like pacific microsonics, prism dream converters are close and the Lavry gold. Lavry gold is def the cream of the crop and is like 15 to 20 for the converter I believe.

I moved up to a Lynx Aurora N, very transparent but you can’t push it much without unmusical distortion. I heard the Burl on Mixanalog before purchasing it so now my Lynx goes into the B2 as an option for weight. I got an EP mastered recently by a facility with the Lavry Gold and those are the best masters I find personally.
