Joe Budden - Escape Route - Discussion Thread

[Makaveli's Food & Liquor]

Its a dope street album, Joey at his best but the mastering/mixing is pathetic and it really ruins it, he should just get it fixed instead of making excuses, PR and HH both had the same problem so its not like its a new thing, he should stop being cheap fucker and get it done right ffs, lol at anyone who buys these 'albums'

[virtuoso]

Was PR's mixing ever sorted out? i read in an interview that it was being addressed but never saw any confirmation?

I have only heard Intro on youtube so far but wtf, this mixing is horrible, this sounds worse than the mixing on padded room, i want to hear this the way it should be heard

amazing song though.

It was an in-house dude doing it, and they aren't letting him do it anymore..

So if ER was a different person.  we can then now assume it is the mixing, and not the mastering.

You can't master something to sound good when it was mixed too poorly.

Possible problems:

1) Joe wants a certain sound with his music
2) Joe doesn't wanna spend the time to cooperate with the third party to achieve that sound
3) He and his people end up trying to do it during the mixdown, and fuck it up for everyone.


P.S.

OR

4) He really does have bad luck with engineers, and/or he and Amalgam are cheap fucks.

Sounds about right.

Leak is on point like usual

And I think this is the best album over the year!!  Even above Padded Room and the Slaughterhouse album.

TORENO (had to edit this mofo's name) and I have examined the before and after, and pause the laughter, they retailed the disc did it right quick, and it sounds like music you could bump in the whip.

Cop that new Retail CD rip for the better mixing/mastering jumpoff.

[DTG Entertainment]

Cop the retail, LOADS better mixing.
