Somewhere on the drink champs interview after Donda he said it was gonna be on Donda deluxe, didn’t end up happening though

Ty did vocals for it too but still didn’t make the cut

I'm fascinated by the stages of mixing and mastering but they seem so daunting

Mmm Hmm

@Thichquangduck i listened to it

bomb is the best song on the album

basically the tldr of this review is that even overlooking the compositional changes (which negatively effected every song we heard in november)

what really destroyed my experience was the mixing. whoever engineered this album should not put this on their real it’s a failure in almost every respect. songs are different volumes than each other (more than the +/- 1db that’s allowable (NOTE NOT FAVORED BUT ALLOWABLE)) which is basic mastering. vocals are way too bright every instrument was high passed way too high. Slide is a particularly egregious example of this. it seems like any frequency between 120 and 1k hz we’re cut categorically. random frequencies in most of the vocals seemed boosted. Lil wayne’s verse is almost inaudible in lifestyle because of the samples. this is not to mention the coloration which seems to be completely ignored. not even gonna mention the obvious panning issues. it’s just kind of a train wreck in every respect. Whoever engineered this album was probably under a tremendous amount of pressure but it’s evident that they ultimately broke.

in reality Ye seems to view the studio as a mobile space that can come to him, but the simple fact of the matter is: even the most talented engineers in the world can’t fix the reflections that are present in about half the vocal takes (especially ty’s unfortunately) if he would just allow for his music to be recorded and engineered in a controlled environment with more treatment than like…a kaotica eyeball these tracks could really shine, but as of now the experience is entirely incoherent

there’s a guy (i’m forgetting his name) that invented function one sound systems, and he put it really well “it’s like trying to pass light through a hundred windows, if any of them are dirty, then the light is obscured”
