C Flanigan/Getty Images After 15 years, Dr. Dre decided to go back into the studio to record his “finale” album Compton: The Soundtrack. In Dre’s weekly show The Pharmacy With Dr. Dre, which aired Saturday afternoon on Beats 1 radio, Dre got real with friends Ice Cube and Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray. “I found myself being so inspired by the movie that I started recording an album,” Dre said of his new record Compton: The Soundtrack. “It’s inspired by Straight Outta Compton, and I’m really proud of this.” “Ice Cube is on the album.

** Stereo width in mastering – how to measure, monitor and modify it (http://wholearmorrecordings.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=adb7ddd3048f2a8742c0113fa&id=771ca78454&e=aa7628cca0)

People are always asking me about stereo width, image depth and “three dimensionality” in audio – and whether you can influence them at the mastering stage. The answer is Yes – although it’s almost always better to get it right in the mix, just as with almost everything else ! That isn’t always possible though, and the truth is you really can get a surprising amount of control over these aspects of a master, even though you’re typically only ever working with a stereo file at the mastering stage. In this video I show you: How to measure the stereo width of your mix, in a simple, affordable way What it sounds like when there is too much (or too

If you’re not aware, Mike Dean interviews are some of the most insightful, and genuine sit downs around. His recently sat down to talk with “Pensado’s Place” about a number of things including his work with the late Selena, and what it was like to record and go on tour with her. He also reveals that he has been working with Scarface on some of his new records. Watch the entire video above, with Mike Dean’s interview beginning at the 19:26 mark.

** YouTube just put the final nail in the Loudness War’s coffin (http://wholearmorrecordings.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=adb7ddd3048f2a8742c0113fa&id=44d490db7d&e=aa7628cca0)

This is HUGE. It may not look like much, but if you’re involved in music production, recording, mixing or mastering, this image could be the most important thing you’ll see all year. What is it ? It’s the loudness output of a YouTube playlist, as measured by the MeterPlugs LCast loudness meter. So what ? First – it’s quiet. The loudness levels are all quite low, especially by modern “loudness war” standards. Second – it’s very consistent. More importantly than the low loudness, they’re almost all playing at the same loudness. What does this mean ?

Bobbi Kristina Brown Was Recording Music Until She Was Hospitalized Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died on Sunday, July 26, at the age of 22. She passed away in the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, after being removed from life support in late June.
