How is Dr. Dre's mixing so much better than everybody else's?

[I love Latina women]

You almost see the sounds in a way...ive only been at it for about a year and I can only imagine what Dre hears when he listens to music or sounds in general.

Damn, some superhero type shyt!

You almost see the sounds in a way...ive only been at it for about a year and I can only imagine what Dre hears when he listens to music or sounds in general.

I have this weird thing where my brain associates every specific note or sound with the spectrum of colors, to the point where I can identify a bunch of albums' overall sound just by identifying a color. Like the Infamous to me is a mostly indigo/purple album, The Chronic is yellow/sepia tones, etc.

start trying to make beats breh. it will change the way you hear the music. i thought all my GOATs were great before..now my mind is truly blown beyond what i thought it could be before

Same here

Its absolutely amazing how much a difference subtle mixing changes make...

My mind is trained to think, 'if this shyt aint banging, its cause the rhythm is stale,'... Sometimes I spend hours just trying to get the flip exactly right... Then I run it through some waves plugins and its lit

Foundations are everything.

Quik and guru just as nice but yeah dre get busy

 

[Ol’Otis]

Russell Elevado

his shyt with D'Angelo

 

[Ol’Otis]

now the sony studio monitor headphones are

 

[doublenegative]

Low master buss compression that preserves transients
A 1.5 to 2 db shelf bump on the high end starting around 1k
Treating each sound like a lady, then making sure everything is panned well and finding its fundamental frequency
Eliminate mud around 300k

Wah la

Dogg Food might be the best mixed hiphop album I've ever heard. With a DAC and good headphones/speakers Ridin' Slippin' Slidin' is fukking incredible.

I was bumping 2001 today and it remains the GOAT production album

No album has ever sounded as good as that

Chronic

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Oh yeah, somebody mentioned DJ Quik. Safe + Sound is another album with great mixing:



This shyt sounds perfect

 

[Big Boss]

Dead Prez Let's Get Free is a wonderfully mixed album as well. Dre's stuff stands out with the clarity. He should train others if he already hasn't. I know he has a gift, but if they can come close to his work it might help the game

 

[MurderToCassette]

Dr. Dre's newer stuff (2001 and on) is very minimalist as opposed to his earlier Bomb Squad type sampling style which allows him room to play with frequencies and maximize volume.

Bernie Grundman also makes his shyt bang, he's mastered a lot of west coast classics for Quik and many, many others. Seek out OG copies to hear them in all their glory, no remasters.

 

[Mané Swagincha]

Which was the latest album dre worked on? Or tracks? I saw that he also produced Damn but dont think he did any tracks
