In this episode, Dee Kei and Lu dive into the controversial 2025 remix of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by My Chemical Romance. While technically cleaner and more modern, the new mixes raise a big question: What happens when you remaster or remix a nostalgic album? Do you risk losing the magic that made it timeless?This is more than just a critique of a remix — it's a deep conversation about emotion vs. clarity, client intent, nostalgia bias, and how sometimes, chasing perfection can kill the very thing people loved in the first place.Whether you're a die-hard fan, a professional engineer, or someone who's been burned by a remix of your favorite record, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Dee Kei and Lu explore the art and science of stereo vs. mono recording, the dangers of over-miking, and why intentionality always beats complexity. From phase alignment to comb filtering, they break down the physics and the philosophy behind capturing big, clean, powerful sounds — using fewer tools and smarter techniques.They discuss multi-mic setups, stereo width tricks, reverb placement, and how small changes in mic distance can make or break your mix. There's plenty of studio wisdom, live sound context, and even some fun talk about perfect pitch, nostalgia, and listening preferences.Whether you're tracking a full drum kit or just trying to get your guitars to sit right, this episode will teach you how to think more clearly, record more intentionally, and get better results by doing less.

In this no-holds-barred episode, Dee Kei and James dive deep into the toxic myths, vague advice, and ego-driven illusions that still dominate the world of mixing and audio education. From the false promise of "secret sauce" techniques to the cult of gear and performative certainty, they break down why so many mixers cling to superstition — and how it's holding back real growth.They also explore why even elite mixers often give ambiguous or misleading advice, how language shapes misunderstanding, and why certainty is often just a mask for insecurity or marketing.Plus: Japanese philosophy, baseball rituals, self-diagnosed autism, and why Rick Rubin might actually have it all figured out.

In this episode, Dee Kei and Lu dive deep into the sonic and philosophical chaos of mixing hyperpop, sigilkore, and other maximalist genres — where distortion, clipping, and sheer loudness aren't flaws, they're features.From pushing mixes to -2 LUFS to layering clippers at every stage, Dee Kei shares his firsthand experiences mixing records for artists like Odetari and Barelyhuman, and how that work has redefined his approach to both mixing and creativity.But this episode goes beyond technique. It explores the philosophy behind weirdness, the cultural value of outsider genres, and why trying to normalize everything can kill innovation. We talk gear (StandardClip, Cake, Gold Clip), philosophy (Zen, dualism, the Just World Fallacy), and how freedom from expectation leads to better art.

In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu dive into the power of minimalist mixing — the art of doing more with fewer plugins. While the temptation to load up every fancy compressor and vintage EQ is real, many engineers find freedom, speed, and clarity by stripping things back. From building simple yet powerful vocal chains to learning when your mix actually needs less processing, this episode breaks down the philosophy, mindset, and techniques behind working smarter, not just harder. Whether you're chasing speed, cleaner results, or just less plugin fatigue, this one's for you.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LUFind Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu break down one of the simplest but most powerful tools in every engineer's arsenal: high-pass and low-pass filters. From functional cleanup and frequency management to shaping emotion, depth, and energy, filters are far more than just technical necessities — they're creative tools that shape the feel of a track. The guys discuss where filters should be used, where they're often abused, and how they use them to sculpt tone, add movement, and guide listener focus. Whether you're cleaning up mud or automating your way to a more emotional mix, this episode will leave you hearing HPFs and LPFs in a whole new way.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LUFind Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

Beyond gear and plugin chains, your ability to collaborate, accept feedback, and maintain emotional stability may be the real secret to becoming a trusted professional.

In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu dive into the tricky subject of saying no to bad recordings. Whether it's a poorly tracked vocal, clashing client expectations, or an unrealistic request to “fix it in the mix,” this conversation is all about navigating those uncomfortable but necessary boundaries. We discuss how to communicate limitations without burning bridges, how to balance personal taste with professional responsibility, and when it's smarter to offer creative solutions rather than force a mix that just isn't working. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, underpricing, or working on tracks that don't meet your standards, this episode is for you.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LUFind Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

From rushing decisions and second-guessing revisions, to over-processing vocals and letting imposter syndrome creep in, they share the real lessons behind the errors that never quite go away. This episode is a reminder that growth doesn't mean perfection — it means awareness, adaptability, and learning faster each time you fall into familiar traps.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LUFind Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu debate whether mid/side EQ and compression is secret sauce or just overhyped gimmick. From subtle mastering moves to totally wrecking your stereo image, we break down the good, the bad, and the reckless uses of mid/side processing. We talk real-world use cases, the plugins we trust (and the ones we've overused), and why blindly boosting the sides might be killing your mix.

“Eternal Sunshine,” Ariana Grande's seventh studio album, released on March 8, 2024, via Republic Records, marks a triumphant return for the pop icon after a three-year hiatus following 2020's “Positions.” This 13-track, 35-minute project, titled after the 2004 film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” is a loosely conceptual exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery, blending vulnerability with theatrical flair. Crafted with collaborators like Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Oscar Görres, the album fuses pop and R&B with dance, synth-pop, and house influences, characterized by mid-tempo beats, subtle guitar riffs, and lush string arrangements. Grande has called it her most personal work, inspired by her divorce from Dalton Gomez and her romance with “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater, yet it sidesteps tabloid fodder for a broader emotional narrative.The album opens with “Intro (End of the World),” a delicate query about love's endurance, setting a reflective tone. Lead single “Yes, And?”—a #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit—channels Madonna's “Vogue” with defiant house beats, addressing public scrutiny with a cheeky shrug. “We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” another chart-topper, pairs a Robyn-esque dance-pop pulse with Grande's aching vocals, its video nodding to the film's memory-erasing premise. “The Boy Is Mine,” reimagining Brandy and Monica's classic, became a TikTok sensation, later earning a remix with the duo. Tracks like “Don't Wanna Break Up Again” and “True Story” weave R&B melancholy with sly humor, while “Supernatural” and “Imperfect for You” showcase her vocal restraint and harmonic finesse. The interlude “Saturn Returns,” sampling astrologer Diana Garland, ties the album to Grande's late-20s reckoning, fading into the title track's wistful acceptance of past pain.Critics praised “Eternal Sunshine” for its emotional depth and sonic cohesion, with Pitchfork noting its “restrained yet generous” spirit and Rolling Stone calling it a “victory lap with scars.” It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, her sixth chart-topper, and snagged three Grammy nods, including Best Pop Vocal Album. Expanded editions followed: a “Slightly Deluxe” version on March 10, 2024, added remixes, while “Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead,” released March 28, 2025, with a short film, introduced six new tracks like “Twilight Zone,” deepening the breakup saga. Filmed during the 2023 SAG strike, the album reflects Grande's “Wicked” downtime, balancing her Glinda role with raw artistry. Closing with “Ordinary Things,” featuring her grandmother Nonna's sage advice, it's a tender cap to a journey of heartbreak and hope.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin Analytic Dreamz in this segment of Notorious Mass Effect as we dive into the speculation surrounding Drake's potential $ For You deluxe edition. Analyzing available clues, the imagery showcases a Drake-like figure in fur coats and confident poses, paired with the recurring "$ For You" phrase and the number "4," hinting at a tie to For All the Dogs (Nov. 2023). X posts reveal fan debates—some expect 3–10 new tracks, while others argue it's a rehash of a 2022 streaming push. Without official word from Drake, OVO, or Republic Records, evidence remains thin. Analytic Dreamz examines Drake's deluxe history, like Scorpion and Take Care, and the lack of major news coverage as of March 15, 2025. Is this a strategic drop or just fan hype?

Jacob Paul Herring, more commonly known by his stage name BabyJake, is a music artist, writer, and producer based in Nashville, Tennessee. BabyJake's first big break came when his song Cigarettes on Patios released in the winter of 2019. Shortly after, he was signed to Republic Records was expected to be the next mainstream star. Just before he was supposed to go on his first major international tour, the pandemic hit and everything fell apart. His support from the record label fell away, he blew most of his money, he partied way too much, and got severely ill for almost 2 years. BabyJake has since left Republic Records, and Los Angeles, to become an independent artist living and making music in Nashville. Over the last few years he has been steadily putting out new music and developing as both an artist and a person. His sound has went from indie rap, to pop, to 70's rock, to alternative rock and more. His latest album titled Beautiful Blue Collar Boy is available to stream on all platforms. It showcases his diverse music styles and brings a raw emotion that stands out in today's music. We recorded this interview backstage before his recent performance on Friday, October 25th at 7th St. Entry in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In this episode we discuss how his music developed, healthy addictions, learning from past mistakes, how to grow a core fanbase, performing live, finding yourself, life goals, music industry misconceptions, new music, touring on a budget, and much more.

In this episode of Freshly Breu'd, Joe recaps his recent comedy tour, including spontaneous gigs at popular clubs like New Jersey's Stress Factory and a memorable show at a Doylestown skate shop. Joe shares an inspiring update on his son Nate's journey in the music industry—from overcoming personal struggles to signing with Republic Records. They also discuss the excitement of watching Nate perform live and the unique father-son experience of Nate's early record label meetings. The episode wraps up with humorous anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories, giving fans a fun, in-depth look at the latest adventures of the Breuniverse crew.
