Meet Young Thug's Engineer Alex Tumay (and His Dog) | Music Life

Young Thug's prolific musical output is no secret. More mysterious, however, are the people that make it possible. We talked to Alex Tumay, whose clients include Thug, Travis Scott, Metro Boomin, and many others, to figure out why audio engineers are some of modern music's most important players-and why sharing knowledge online is an integral part of his work.

this man is part of the reason thugger sounds how he does.

[@stuff4826]

its no myth but i was thinking about why and i say any one you work with on music and maybe other art, has this effect on the final product. if people care and get involved, there can be so much trust being exchanged

[@stuff4826]

it can feel like youre married. especially later when everyones ducked out and people phones and checks. and well, some checks are good, some bad some not at all...
somewhere between the 5sec spot for some guys ad, to the kids you grew up with and yours record youve been working on for 15 years, you micromanage your care and pair it with your will. thats whats for sale. not your time, not your skill or your experience, not even who you know, but something thats a sum of all parts. your power to get it done.
