i heard he spent mad money on late registration in regards to mixing and stuff.... he prolly spent even more on this record from the looks of it. But .. to his defense, the record sounds great sonically just like late registration... .. really BIG and organic sound to the record. Good Morning, Flashlight, Stronger, Cant tell me nothin, Good life.. they sound HUGE straight up.
No doubt about the sonic quality. I was so impressed with Good Morning... I've been listening to that song all week (haven't heard anything else on the album, cause I'm stuck on that song).
I think it would be a lot more practical if he had it mixed once, then checked out the mix and listened to it on different systems then went back and made adjustments. The impression I got from the article is that Ye has trouble communicating to engineers what he wants, hence the grab bag of mixes. If he worked with one engineer and communicated what he wanted he could get the same sonic quality. He's working with the best of the best.
Homeboy seems mad insecure.
On the same token, to each his own, at the end of the day his sh!t is hot. And no matter the bill, it ain't hurting his pockets.
It's actually cool, he's so concerned about his sound.
Can't deny it's odd though.
