TDCAU?
@@utub1473 They Don't Care About Us
Please don't imply anything about racial division. It's perpetuating a false perception.
@@sirkayda7205 what? literally nobody did

Michael is a genius that worker with geniuses to create masterpieces. TDCAU is such a powerful song with incredible and powerful statements. True work of a master and his voice was so magical and raging with anger and emotions❤️❤️❤️❤️ everything there is to love🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hey guys! We hope you enjoyed this video - What is the most challenging part of mixing for you?
Probably restraining myself by not putting 500 plugins on each track.
The most annoying thing is not having the STEMs to the beat! I find it difficult to mix vocals with a beat as stereo track because dudes that brings in beats aren't properly mixed as the kick may be too loud, the synth parts too wide. I gotta have the kick, snare, Synths, bass, vocals all separated for a proper balanced mixed.
Most challenging is which instrument on what level & which effect is to insert in each instrument.
Thank you for sharing, beautiful and inspiring.
I was one of Mick Guzauski’s mix assistants on Thriller 20th Anniversary. We worked on the song “For all time” - I also went to FS
I love that song For all time!
So fortunate you are to have worked on an MJ project.
I did a remake of "Flashlight" with George Clinton @ Sly stones house. I was engineering for Sly and was asked to re-do Flashlight with George. Yeah I know nerves. Just me and George. Will never forget.
I'm glad CZcams algorithm showed me this. 💎
It annoys me when having Q&A and they ask the same question twice just flip the wording around to make it appear different. I like how he low key react to it.
MJ !!!
When mixing an instrumental without a vocal it's hard to know how loud to have the melodic instruments. When there's a vocal it's easier to set the melodic instruments relative to the vocals. When it's just drums and melodic instruments, sometimes you have the melodic instruments louder than you would if the vocals were there. Same goes for the hi hat.
Same when there is no non harmonic percussive elements for example if the only thing keeping the rhythm ims the acoustic, turn it up too much and it cuts into the vocal and other instruments and turn it down too much and there is no more rythmn backbone.
That's why you need the STEMs of everything. I find it difficult to mix vocals with a beat as stereo track because dudes that brings in beats aren't properly mixed as the kick may be too loud, the synth parts too wide. I gotta have the kick, snare, Synths, bass, vocals all separated for a proper balanced mixed.
Depends on the mix really. If Lesly sent you a 2 Track beat you can mix vocals into it because he knows how to mix a beat and leave room for Vocals. It’s like mixing/mastering.
Good advice mate,
That is damn true..
Hoah.
@@JimijaymesProductions it depends which way the track will go, more funky/rhythmic or more harmonic. Need well carefull balance. That defines sub genres
Bruce Sweden was the one mixing most for MJ.
rip
Thanx MJ, DA & LB for letting me play on that record. #CareerHigh
What did you play?
Michael Jackson we missed him a lot my hurt goes to Michael wished he was here with us no one can be Michael Jackson only one king of pop beautiful human bein truly Engel love you Michael
Thank you ❣️😊❣️
I love this guys, his very cool!
Michael was a genius
great dude, great story
I want chopssticks for my next track..
You know what i mean.😎
🤔 now that you mention it, I do remember hearing the sticks 😄
@@crnkmnky .. Hoah.
Subtítulos por favor!!! Love MJ 🙌👌💜👌
Just noticed the sticks he’s talking about
They dont care abous us ( Mix by Bruce Swedien and Eddie DeLena) maybe he mixed the " remix " nothing more or bring coffee for bruce and some donuts
did you watch the fucking video? Because the man literally said he was working with Dallas Austin and Michael requested the Dallas bring the guy in who did all of the beats… That was Lesley. And he worked on all of the Dallas Austin mixes, the main Dallas Austin mix which was used as the radio and single version of the song which is what most people are most familiar with👍🏻👍🏻 The album version was a different mix that featured explicit lyrics that they had to take out when it went to radio
@@elijahcambry3319 " They dont care about us " : 1995, Album HIStory
Auteur-Compositeur : Michael Jackson
Producteur : Michael Jackson
Enregistré et mixé par : Eddie De Lena & Bruce Swedien
Dallas Mix -> czcams.com/video/HAeXTDDICa4/video.html
its easy to recognize, that the most weak songs of Album, and its not timeless
remix Dallas nothing more source : " CREDITs " of album, if u buy the history book@@elijahcambry3319
sticks
sticks ! ...
But are the "diplomas" from ur school legitimate?
Y’all stay asking the same questions twice
Good stiks . Lol
Please stop doing the played out mj voice. It's beyond ridiculous and not funny at this point.
Thus guy should be thanking his lucky stars to have been involved with Michael's song at all.
This dude has literally produced and mixed so many hit songs for so many amazing people. Michael was lucky to work with him
@@elijahcambry3319 well, he obviously believes he is proud to be on an MJ project (with Bruce Swedien), so no. He for sure rarely had to go to that level of "crazy". It's just talinkg a bit degrading about MJ is kind of fashionable. Yes, the greatest are always a bit crazy. They have to be. They are literally not average. And average see them as crazy.
"They Don't Really Care About Us" took 4 48 track machines? LOL. It's like 16 tracks WTF? The "sticks" are so loud it becomes annoying by the end. He should have stuck with Quincy.
its one of him best song
I loved it great touch👌👌👌
@@kaafaa5944 Not saying it's a bad song.
The session that leaked is heavily submixed.
Bruce Swedien and Eddie De Lena mixed this song, not this guy. This guy didn't even work on the HIStory album.
Had Michael known about this level of annoyance, that the producer still shows after all these years, he'd have had him deservedly fired with a Beat It!
well he won't cause he died high af nerd
Perfectionists know damn well that they are a pain to work with, ain’t nobody getting fired. Yes Men don’t help you create magic, people with opinions do.
@@theluckieboi he died because of an anesthetic drug... which puts you in deep sleep. I don't k ow what you know about drugs, but wanting to sleep is a far cry from wanting to get high... He died in his sleep, a sleep created by a doctor, who didn't know his craft.
@@richardkovacs2006 Tbh I don’t even remember commenting on this bro but I’m glad ur educated on the situation cus Im not at all frfr
