Jul 15, 2020 i often revisit this album and i am high or what but there’s something to the mixing and mastering of this album that just doesn’t feel quite right. i mean maybe kanye wanted to keep it a bit gritty thoughts?
Jul 15, 2020 what you’re saying is absolutely true—compare the sound of this album, the depth of the mixes specifically, to late registration
Jul 15, 2020 vocals too loud and i swear its at the mastering process where they do this music in the 90s adn early 200's was mixed perfectly
Jul 15, 2020 It has that “Loudness” mastering technique they’ve been doing since 2010(?) and onwards. Compress it all & amplify it. They know the majority of listeners aren’t using high end equipment/output’s anymore, streaming services & digital processors. Shame. Usually to combat this you can cop a vinyl as they require a quieter master as they can only handle lower audio signals. Maybe MBDTF vinyl press is a better sound, can anyone testify to this?
Jul 15, 2020 I have it on vinyl and there’s a noticeable difference between it and the 808s and LR vinyls. 10 year anniversary is coming up. Maybe a remaster
Jul 16, 2020 It's sad it sounds unmastered or something. Graduation beats were fire. And late registration. I feel the same way about some of Em' songs in the past 10 years that they weren't mixed right or mastered right. Back in the day every beat or the way his s--- was mixed was flawless.
Jul 16, 2020 was graduation and lr mastering was done by mike dean too? i love that dude but maybe could be cus of him it sounds so muddy. dude always has a blunt between his fingers lol
