Freddie Gibbs x Alchemist - Alfredo (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

I realized the 1 gripe I have. No matter the version (including the official from the site), it sounds like the audio normalization is too fukkin' low. Is it just me? Most of Gibbs' projects got that "loud" sound but this one is much more quiet.

I've kinda noticed that too. Bandana was mixed with the instrumentals way way the fukk too loud. In general the guy that Alc has used to mix every single project of his for the past 10+ years (the same guy that DJ Premier used back in the day on Moment of Truth and what not) is a really good mixer. But if there's ever any issues with anything they release it's usually a more quiet mix. Like, I have to turn the volume up louder than most albums if I really want it to knock in the car.

Never watched Fantano but I see his face all the time

Those Dehh dudes are trash though. Or I'll say their opinions are trash...

I like Beezy because I'm positive makes beats and has a really good ear for production. I like his takes on production and he's the most knowledgeable cat out of all of them by far.

I remember seeing a couple classic albums they reviewed, like Blueprint, Hell Hath No Fury, and Capital Punishment, and some of them didn't even think those were classic albums.

Yep. I tried to air that shyt out in the whip and was salty as fukk, lol. No matter how much I turn that bytch up, it ain't going, lol.

Like, the clarity is there and whatnot, output about as good it gets in that regard. But the damn volume ain't doing nobody any favors.

Yep. It's my single solitary issue with this album. Alc had the same guy mixed Price of Tea in China and Lulu this year, but those knock way harder in the car. Those albums have more drums so maybe that's the reason? I dunno. I wish they'd made Alfredo a little louder. Is there any program or website out there where you can make tracks louder? If so I'm happy to do it and put up a link for a louder version.

Finally got around to hearing this the last few days and man....Gibbs did it again. He's in a rare air right now and has never released a wack project. Alchemist laced him real nice...just wish more beats had drums but the production is still good.

Scottie Beam is the one for me that I keep rewinding. Freddie and Ross murdered that shyt
