    This is one of the most important events for producer community
  • @yvksel284
    After Metro we need Southside FOR SURE
  • @30atwill91
    We NEED a Wheezy interview next, heā€™s so mysterious, we never even heard him talk before, his beats are so hard and we never hear him speak on producing, the biggest mystery in production
  • @808_rafa
    To add to Quincy being 50 when he made Thriller, people tend to also forget that he was producing for Frank Sinatra before Michael
  • @KR4FTY66.6
    I love how he admits to still watching tutorials. Most producers deny it
  • @Free-YSL
    the fact that metro dont even know about shaperbox just made me realize how much I care bout all these vsts but just like he said its about how u use them metro rlly the goat
  • @alexashe
    I'm not ever a producer but this interview is crazy... 3 hours of metro dropping straight gems
  • @zacmchale-north820
    Iā€™m loving the part of him talking about how heā€™d love to do a movie. As Iā€™m sat here watching this after across the spiderverse drop
  • @joshk3170
    That Big Sean album is so underrated, I feel like it doesn't get the praise it derserves like other collab albums have gotten
  • Metro, If you like the workflow of the new FL studio, but you want it to sound like the old FL studio, what you have to do is go to the limiter and increase the gain by 5.5db. On the old versions of FL, the gain on the limiter was increased by default which gave it a harder hitting sound. Once you make this change to the templates, of the modern FL versions, it will sound the exact same. You can prove that it sounds the same, as when you export the same project from FL 20-21 and FL11-10 and then phase invert one of the exports, they will cancel out. This is assuming the gain on the limiter has been changed to be the same on both projects. Hope this was helpful, and yes older versions of FL sound different, but you can emulate that sound on newer versions with 100% accuracy.
  • Outside of his talent one of the things I love about this dude is his faithšŸ’ÆšŸ™šŸ½ very humble dude
  • @YoungEpic1
    Metro reinstalled my confidence in making music period not just producing , somebody that successful that still got time to inspire the up and coming is rare, dude a real šŸ’Æ
  • @SuperStarO
    Thank you Metro & ProducerGrind for doing this for the community, so many GEMS & Light in here man! Also whoever said these are pointless was clearly not a producer themselves or some jealous person, ignore that. We LOVE this & it's doing so much for the community as a whole. 100
  • @leowes4882
    These interviews are priceless. Youre giving all the fans and kids a chance to get a closer look at their heros. The entertainment is needed. Belive it or not they actually tune in to see the hosts as well.

  • I wanna thank you Producer Grind for doing this. I was tuned in the entire time. Countless gems were given and this definitely wasn't pointless. Big thanks to you and of course Metro. This gave me just the push I needed at the time of this release. I will never forget this podcast.
