I met Mike when he was just fourteen years old. He was just learning the keys. He had a Yamaha electric grand piano and a Clavinet. Mike is from Angleton Tx. about forty miles due south of Houston. In 1980 we formed a classic rock band and hired Mike to play keyboards for us. Very quiet kid with curly hair at that time.Other band members were Bob Britton, Dale Balint, Les Means, Mike Zak and myself Dennis Blair. We later replaced Mike Zak with Everette Herps on drums. After the band broke up he played with various musicians including Salena, Fred Martindale and many others. He did some recording in our studio in the mid 80's with Fred Martindale. He also did some very good work with a hip hop duo called Def Squad and some other rap duo who's name escapes me. Although I wish he would have gone another route I am still proud of him for staying the course and made a name for himself. We had a lot of fun rehearsing in his boat house. I was 27 at the time and now 61 so I guess that makes Mike about 49.
+Dennis Blair was mike still a savage back in the day
+Dennis Blair Def squad was a trio(Erick Sermon, Redman and Keith Murray), but i didn`t know he did work for them :)
Dennis Blair the Odd Squad with Devin the dude
oppi sjappa tv
He's referring to the ORIGINAL Def Squad. ....before there was "Def Squad".
Out of Houston.
That duo you speak of is the Legendary UGK. R.I.P. Pimp-C
if you watch this, while as high as Mike Dean himself, this interview is HILARIOUS
I am on a Pensado's Place marathon furiously taking notes on everything lol
Care to share those notes?

pensado said TRAPSTEP...i almost fell out my chair
some of you are commenting about how this interview made you feel uncomfortable and i guess i can understand that. i think mike's brevity comes from being a pure genius. having worked with just a few that think and operate on that level in my career, they're often just like him. they're quiet, shy, unassuming and don't feel the need to go into tons of details about every single thing. those of us that don't operate on that level often over think everything. he let's go of all that nonsense because he can and he expresses himself with very few words. i'm not sure it makes for the best interview, but i know i'd like to see him on the show more often because i get SO much from paying close attention to what he does say. i could listen and learn from him for days.
wow thanks for that
Mike Dean... my favorite Hip Hop mixing and mastering. Fucking legend.
Straight up ! His sound is like no other, ahead of the game.
why is everyone worried about mike deans personality?? to each his own, everyones different. let the man live jesus christ.
I wasn't sure if he was high or just not into this until when he said "What episode is this? I'll be back for episode 420" then I knew he was baked... lol
these comments are ridiculous. mike can be a man of few words but there is still plenty of knowledge and wisdom to be taken from this episode. maybe try being appreciative of him taking the time to do the show for the second time and what he does bring to the table instead of being pointlessly critical of his energy level or how interesting you find him.
Smh.. I agree fully. Respect the man!
100% right
i'm wondering if you can help me here ... i went to this interview for my kid to see if we could find him talking about working with Eminem and i there really wasn't much ... i would stop and scroll through it . But i admit i didn't do a good job because have to go out somewhere ... can you tell me if there's any place where he actually really talks about working with Eminem ... for more than one or two sentences ?
@@thephillyphranciepantz8528 the guy's so fried he can barely get a sentence out
ITL starts @ 10:22
Interview starts @ 19:23
デニス Swan you are the goat
someone pin this
Sooooo much talent in Mike Dean! He’s making the rest of us look lazy and worthless. 😂
Damn bro , compose , produce , arrange , mix , master all by a one fucking individual. To me he’s like a fucking genius or something
I was always amazed at those orchestrated intros Scarface and the ghetto boy albums had! I would read the credits and see produced, mix, and mastered by Mike Dean!
Pooney Heat
Still to this day I buy Scarface & Z-Ro new albums just to see if Mike produced.
🔥🔥🔥
@ 21:00,
"Just do whatever you want to do."
Yes.
these guys are OG's, i feel like a youngn
Even though Dave & Herb are always thanking those who support them I am absolutely sure they really have no idea how influential and helpful this show has been. Seriously , thank you to the entire Pensado's Place staff. You have changed my life.
Not the best episode though.....
@@sinsofthesister5443 It's because Mike Dean is HIGHHHHHHHHH
Mike Dean is one of the best producers EVER in music period not just hip-hp...Has the best sound of ALL producers in the game today(as far as clarity,compression,and balance of highs & lows).... Did most of Scarface's production and Geto Boys as well... Always take notes from Mike when I produce & mix tracks...THE BEST IN THE GAME!!!!
+djtjtoo 72 I'm with you! I still have the Source magazine interview he did years ago when he was still using his old protools rig and yamaha hs8s. Got me on board with the love and art for mastering. The Scarface stuff, like Mary Jane, was immaculate.
Please get Chuck Strangers, Kirk Knight, from Pro Era, they are great producers and under the age of 23, they will help bring attention to the show to, this is a great show,as a young aspiring producer, i am grateful for you guys brining in these people so they can shed some light on this craft.
I just love your show. As an amateur mixer I relly learning alot from you. Keep up the good work. cheers from Sweden
I love this interview because Mike is so nonchalant. it helps me to realize not to overthink things. just work until you make good music
Same!
Mike is a force of nature.
Awesome.
Don't know why guys are saying this is a boring interview. I thought is was amazing, just like episode 14 when he first appeared. He's not an actor, he is a producer/mixer after all.
Yes.. Just Yes.. Thank you Pensado..
LMAO! I gotta see Mike dean on the clav playing get down tonight, that's hilarious. Amazing interview, so much info!
The guy with the long gray hair said his favorite mike dean stuff was with scarface. Subbed!
Good stuff here. Thanks
Great interview, lot's of insight.
Awesome interview guy's
one of best producers
Thank you Sir

Mike is a beast!
please have E.Dan on! hes a musical genius

That’s insane, mixing in hotel rooms with KRKs and a sub! Only Mike Dean.
mixers with attitude
Please invite Diplo for the next show!
I really enjoyed these 2 ITLs
These two got wild tension doggie
dope ITL and good interview!
Mike Dean so smart an seems so normal I can't explain it lol
yeah. He's such a huge stoner that you would think he's dumb but dude is a genius
goals
dude is probably camera shy and was nervous as fuck, so he smoke a shit load of weed to calm his nerves and it worked to good. mike is still a genius and even tho a man of few words those words are golden. just pay attention, appreciate and take notes.
too*
Mike Dean is hella talented all the way around. Dont let his demeanor fool ya, he loves this sh!t
I think Mike is batman.
Good show all in all...
i fucking love Mike Dean
Mike Dean is the greatest ever. Dude is hilarious.
He was designed the way he was designed. His sound speaks for his vocals
apologies for blowing up your comment section, but great interview. you guys shared some old stories, talked gear and techniques. awesome
This guy is brutal!
hell yea I just got a pair of rockit 8s!!!!
Mike is stoned, lmao.
sweeet episode mike dean is a G i wish i could be as baked as him and still do all that shit
Mike Deans on that vape life
even tho they are all up there in AGE, mike seems like the young kid out of all the old head mixer masters lol like he's too cool for them
the other guys seem so nice tho, and mike dean is always awk in interviews so
Nice ITL....Let the mastering engineer do his job! Great thoughts!
Holy shit these fools really got high halfway through the interview. Explains why the last half was especially interesting haha
Mike Dean is a beast "under rated producer tho.
OMG when he messed up which Selena I almost died for that interviewer - wow man, that was unreal......YIKES! I might of walked right off stage.
he's so blazed, these answers haha so non chalant
Ladies and gentlemen, that man is high!
He really grew on me during the interview ad god he sounds like the guy from the Aliens movies.
Great ITL and great guest!! Too bad he he was so... umm... tired (high?)
MIke is the funniest dude
17:28
Dave: I could be a mastering engineer right?
J: yeah c'mon in
Dave: Naw you lyin 😂😂😂
randomly smoking my gpen while watching this. maybe its the gpen but mike dean is a really chill guy
Whoa Mike Dean from Rap-A-lot ... Damn never seen him before, odd dude but musical genius for sure
juno 106 already has lots of sliders & knobs, not sure why you'd want a controller for it
Stoned is the way of the walk
We won yall. we won.
Just wondering is episode #14 still available, can't seem to find it anywhere ? Thx a milli!

What online producer engineering courses you recommend
GET JEFF BHASKER ON I BEG YOU GUYS!
5:30 lol at Herb's consecutive name mispronunciations. Ya slippin' Herb
I too, miss the wu.
Rip Odb
WHAT COMPRESSOR DOES MIKE DEAN USE FOR HIS VOCALS?
Coming back episode #420 lmao
Okay, can't resist. I have to say the "$100 plugin" comment is silly. Sometimes a free plugin will do the trick. Variety of Sound comes to mind - their baxter EQ, Bootsy EQ, Epic Verb, and my all time favorite - Ferric TDS.
70 thousand people at average height would struggle to reach 75 miles when you add their entire height together. Since this is a mixing show and most of the subscribers are likely men, it would reach over 75 miles. That's still damn impressive, and I would say a better thing to marvel at than the joke. Congrats, guys. This show has grown massively since I started watching.
DDUuuuuEEeeeRRRR.. deeeerrrr
I couldn't make out what his favourite reverberator was at 41:30.
trueverb
Zen master OG
Mike knows his stuff. But doesnt seem like he's liking being there lol. Him and the Into the Liar guy were both kind of cold.
GOT A VOYAGER XL BIYOTCH MUAHAHA
I gotta learn this mike deán English
shoulda let mike dean do dabs or at least smoke a piece this is the only mike Dean interview/youtubs vid where he not smoking
good desert island answer.
i was wary of his intelligence until he referenced south park, now this man is my idle
Nigga said Selena Gomez
ITL - Martins Gore brother? :D
I wish you'd have Michael Wagener on the show!
"Smoked it all" haha
I'm a big Pensado fan (I've watched all of them), a big Kanye fan, and a big MIke Dean fan. The first Mike Dean episode was really inspirational and there were alot of gems in there. Unfortunately this one was disappointing, there should have been at least a little preparation to make one or two cohesive sustaining points....
It seems like most of the previous show research Pensado came with was erroneous. He also cut Mike off a few times in the beginning of interview.
fuck g pen, hahah, i'd go with a gentleman's vape, but mike's still a legend. haha
"smoked it all" - Dave. haha
10:00 Dipped in Lo
what are the pensado students? i would like to be a student
you are not good enough
Dave would never say that to someone looking to learn, Josh.
What language does Mike speak?
this mastering ITL could've been more detailed uh?
