It seems like Philly was the one being hated on here.



HHmmm didn't Ken Lewis had a youtube video stating all the big record he did on 002? .

Wonder what he thinkg of his friend Ken for hangin around "002 land"
Let me just clear that up. i did NOT say all the big records i've done on 002. please do not miss quote me. However, i have worked on MUSIC for several big records on 002. NOT MIXING, Recording and creating music. the 002 happens to be the interface i use on one of my two production rigs, i have all Apogee interfaces on my HD / SSL mix rig. While the 002 isnt the best interface on the block, its what i had/have, its convenient and sounds decent enough. I dont think the records i've worked on with it have suffered for it (John Legend, Kanye West, Lenny Kravitz, Janet Jackson, Common, etc...).

I finally watched the SAMIAM video start to finish. I do think the Sucka 4 Love mix sounds really good. i think he's a really talented dude, and the tracks i got recorded by him for the Day 26 song "Got Me Going" which i mixed were all recorded REALLY well. But i do think its a little condescending to try to drop knowledge at the same time that you are basically insulting the people who dont have all the gear you have, and the same people you are professing to drop knowledge to. I thought he was actually gonna drop some knowledge about something at some point, but it mostly was a "look at me and my gear" video. Which thats fine if thats what your trying to do. But clearly, the dude has talent in spades and can definitely mix. lets not get it twisted.

I used API EQ's on alot of my DK vocals, but i actually posted all my vocal chains here in detail on another thread. come on SAM, hook us up with some of your techniques and tricks, even i wanna see that $hit.
