Nice stuff but there is a lack if respect on this thread. To sum up this thread or comments. No of us can not top what these guys did. From Aaron to Maserati. They got credits and track listings.....and those big checks. We should use the information from these guys to better out craft.
I downloaded DVD and realized once again why I always quit videos with hip hop producers explaining mixing. Gosh...this guy is not just deaf but has no idea what is doing whatsoever. I don't care he work with Snoop and he worked with 2 Pac, also has some school background...everything he's doing is just WRONG. Clipping all over the place, digital distortion, boosting worst possible freq's, pulling faders up all the time, mix is falling apart.. T E R R I B L E. Worst mixer I ever saw.
@j1mbafr0sty Okay, I won't say I'm NOT but I know that I stated what I witnessed. It's a fact. And a LOT of books and awesome engineers would never let their mix clip, distort, put compressors on already smashed samples, I mean...basically all I watched in this DVD is how you SHOULDN'T do things.
@pirell I will post them when I feel need to share something. I don't feel that now. There is enough stupid kids like you already probably doing so and doing it terribly wrong like this deaf poor dude. I mean it's a hip hop....5 sounds and vocal. How hard can it be not to clip, distort and make it right in 10 minutes.... I saw people mixing bands with 40 tracks of just guitars. That's fucking heavy lifting.
@Vanjal many HH mixes are clipped and distotrted, its all part of the mix, trying to sound different. nobody rights kanye and says :hey i liked your tracks but you didnt mix it properly cos it was clipping. you dont have anything to post bcos you're more of a talker than a doer. if people pay dave aaron lots of money to mix for them its for a reason. who the heck knows YOU? its always easy to talk without backing up. so run away and crawl back into your cave you silly girl. done talking to u
@pirell I'm not famous as this guy but if he became famous with THIS than certainly I need just to wait. Chris Lord Alde, Eddie Krammer, Randy Staub, JJ.Puig, Maserati...those are REAL mixers. This guys is just someone who likes taking overloaded mixes as an excuse for lack of understanding audio.
@Vanjal 3 of those people you mentioned are on WAVES.com website as they are mixing masters, but guess what...SO IS DAVE AARON..HAHAHA. so now you can piss off with your complaints when in reality you havent mixed shit. nobody cares...so bugger off and allow us to learn from the more experienced mixers, not a frigging loud mouth nobody like you.
@pirell Watch Many Marroquin and Maserati for great lessons. They are mixing rap as well but they do that GOOD and they can distinguish terrible ear piercing-speaker blowing digital overs.
@Vanjal So why dont you post two or three mixes you done.......and let us all hear it....and will tell you if it sounds better than Dave Aron's. what you dont understand is that even the GREATS have some of their mixes CLIPPING....its not about that...its about capturing the sound and emotion of the song...you can ALWAYS handle clipping later on...its not an issue at all. Dave Aron is a friend of mines....and personally he's a great guy, its people like you who like to bring people down why?

that rapper had a major case of USI (Unwarranted Self Importance) to demand an engineer record his bloopers that he knew he wasn't gonna use... O.o either that he was crunked at the time...
people are fuckin stupid they see 6 mins of a 2hour video n think this guuy dont know wat he doin, he makin a living doin this, while yall sittin on ur cpu talkin bout him
it only looks as if it is, pro tools has a lot of headroom so you CAN push signals into the red (to an extent) before they start audibly clipping (thats what you dont want) So in short, it just looks as if its clipping, digital clipping sounds really bad like loud crackling (trust me you'd notice) He is simply taking advantage of the available headroom in pro tools to get a bigger sound and a wider stereo image.
lol - just because the levels hit red, it doesnt mean the track is going to clip on mixdown. First of all, high-end DAWs have around 3db headroom. Second, once you fix levels at the end, you should be lowering the main (ALL TRACKS) fader to allow more headroom for mastering... well, that's obviously one of the ways you can do it when working on a DAW...
@SkeptikMC YOU DONT BRING DOWN THE MASTER . WHAT YOU DO IS GROUP THE TRACKS TOGETHER AND THEN BRING THE LEVEL DOWN , AND NOW BECAUSE THE TRACKS ARE GROUPED THE THE OTHER GO DOWN IN RATIO WITH THE ORIGINAL , YOU KEEP THE MASTER AT 0
i gotta say - it's the people in this thread who've been saying the amateur stuff, not dave aron. The guy has mixed classic albums. Just because you have pro tools, some plug ins, and you think you know what you're doing, doesn't give you the right to sh*t on someone who's already established, and has stronger credentials than you will probably ever aquire.
Listen to All Eyez On me, tracks like life goes on, Holla at me, 2 of americas most wanted etc which Dave Aron mixed, and tell me if they sound bad or "clipping". This was back in 96, and a musical masterpiece. Internet-wannabe-producers dont know what they talking about.
@dannydboy20 message to the douche that said it was clipping (not you) - it doesn't mater if the channel is clipping, pro tools is running on a 32 bit platform, the only thing that matters is if you are clipping your output channel! (when 32bit float converted to 24bit) shows how much you know aye :)
i dunno if i would say it's "impossible" - but it is the whole point after all, if it's performed the "EXACT" same way, it wouldn't sound like two voices, which would defeat the purpose.
it's funny i see a lot of comments saying he doesn't know what he's doing but he's getting paid to do it, evidently he's doing something right. i'm not saying he's the know it all but it looks like professional trust his mixing. God bless you all.
@lexamazing Lol I know right? He doesn't know what he doing but he's mixing Snoops, have mixed Tupac's, etc. He clearly know what he's doing because he has sold hits. No matter what the video is about, someone will always downplay it unfortunately
@DJDAMIAN72 Ok guys this is whats happening....the track is NOT clipping, it only looks as if it is, pro tools has a lot of headroom so you CAN push signals into the red (to an extent) before they start audibly clipping (thats what you dont want) So in short, it just looks as if its clipping, digital clipping sounds really bad like loud crackling (trust me you'd notice) He is simply taking advantage of the available headroom in pro tools to get a bigger sound and a wider stereo image.
why the hell are you buying a hip hop mixing tutorial video to learn how to use pro tools. You buy pro tools tutorial video or torrent it. Dumb ass. What kind of African are you?
LMAO yo your name is funny and your comment is really ignorant. do you understand this guy is pretty much a legend in the "g funk" engineer... You sound stupid and should stfu! get YOUR brain straight. Protools is easy to use....
Pushing all your sounds is a great way to get volume out of a mix. He is using clipping and distortion to his advantage. making the track sound big. I use this technique all the time to get volume out of the dnb tracks I create,
I thought this only applies to the analog world where pushing levels into the red for tape compression is desired? Isn't clipping in digital 24 bit recording a big no no??

This guy is crazy, he's letting a bunch of tracks peak into the red zone where they'll start clipping!
Digital recorders distort the sound quickly when pushed past 0db unlike analog tape recorders.
I'm assuming this guy wasn't paying attention while making this video because he's supposed to be a professional!
