SNOOP DOGG - MISSIONARY (Official Discussion)

[Marco]

How should I alter my audio settings in Apple Music? Never played around with that before.

Read this guide, if you're in Mac:

If you you're in iPhone, just go to Settings > Apple Music and change it to High-Res Lossless (if you have equipment compatible with this).

Nothing that really knocks .. Sounds like a Just Blaze album .

this an insult to just blaze, he would never drop something this mediocre. he had some of the most insane shit on detox. the dre x snoop x game x just blaze song from 2009 still sounds incredible even after 15 years.

[HighEyeCue]

on one level the rapping is the production, it's all one thing as far as performances go. so if Snoop sounds great vocally and he does Dre gets a lot of the credit.

that's fair

but overall Dre's production is not on par with the last hip hop album he produced which was Compton

Lol. How? Hard knocks is better than whole compton album. Last dance, skyscrapers, gun n smoke, part of me, thank you,  fire, pressure, even georgous. Al 10s. On compton you have love for money, and all on me standouts, rest cant comapre to this.
This album is Amazing body of work. Next level production.

No disrespect but why not leave it as it is, maybe the sound was intended to be this way? I'm getting a Dr.Dre produced album, I'm not gonna try to change his product to please my ears. But that's just me...

I noticed a difference between the YouTube sound of the film and the Apple Music sound of the album. YouTube was way thicker. The apple version is too bright. Could be an Apple fuck up, not Dres influence.

On the other hand i wonder if focus… is the real mixer. Not a fan of his.

I've noticed the difference between Spotify and Apple, the spotify version is more full (for lack of a better word)

is the goal of music not to please your ears lol, no offense but that is a weird ass comment homie, i'm close to my 50s the world has become way too soft. Does the mix sound good or not ? It is not well mixed it is a fact, if some ppl want to change the eq settings to make it better for them then be it. Personally i wont go to that far as i have a really nice set up at home involving several thousands worth of speakers and cans and it doesnt sound good enough to get replay value. Compton was already the year where Dre tracks werent mix as before but this one has to be the worse by far. Where are the Segal and other dope engineers he used to work with ?
The spotify version is still very thin and brittle and so is youtube it is not an encoding issue from streaming platforms, it was a mixing decision and looks like they went with the decision to mix it for people who. listen to music on cheap earbuds or through their phone speakers ( which is always surprising when you a real fan of music). I guess Dre is not a perfectionist anymore (which is good as he will release more music haha but not good for quality control)...

If you go to a Thai restaurant, will you bring your own BBQ sauce just so it fits your taste buds?

i dont do Asian restaurants my household is Asian and that is a very bad analogy ....
(define what is bbq sauce for you cause i dont think we do bbq sauce the same way lol , no offense we are discussing here but there are facts in cooking as in the pro audio world my friend)
i'm back from a big studio and i bumped the album there to make a few friends listen and get their opinions, the 3 engineers were let's say surprised of the mix of the album to stay politically correct...

The streaming version or the cd/lp?

[tempo2]

played the album a few more times today at the gym, really enjoying it, what ive enjoyed about it is its a really uplifting positive album, not enough of that in music today

[Laidback Sounds]

The streaming version or the cd/lp?

It is a very good question actually !!!
I was playing spotify first as it was connected, but one dude said ha na maybe it is the  encoding , so we  checked on  tidal losless /flac version ( cd quality 44.1 khz, 16 bits) and it was a little bit less compressed but frequency wise still not pleasing like chronic 2001 and still lacking bass and brittle to the ears

[WCThang]

This is a very solid project. I've done multiple listens and I'm really enjoying it.

I think the streaming services generally put a certain master filter on it. Most of the time it improves the sound but with Dre maybe his sound is too advanced for that.
For example Compton i have the cd and lp and those sound better on the same speakers than the Apple Music version.
