Eminem - Making music with PMC

When Mike Strange, Tony Compana and Eminem neared the finish line on The Death of Slim Shady, things weren’t quite sounding right. We sat down with Eminem’s longtime engineer and producer Mike Strange for the details.

“When we would take some of the mixes out of the studio, things weren’t translating how we expected. Certain things just sounded… off. So we called , who’s helped a lot of artists get their playback systems figured out. He came in and was like, ‘Dude, your room is really messed up.’ A lot of components had gone bad over the years, things were out of phase, all kinds of issues.”

With the album due shortly, they had to figure out something fast. Years before, Mike had worked with _nickrives_ to collaborate on a few Atmos mixes. Mike had just installed his new Atmos system and had to check a few mixes, so he and Nick met in Nashville to listen on a PMC system in Berry Hill that Nick knew well.

“First, we played back a stereo track on the PMC 6-2s. I was like… ‘Oh my gosh, the vocals sound amazing.’ I pulled up some old mixes and was hearing stuff for the first time that I might have mixed differently. I mean some of these tracks are twenty years old, but you know what I mean.”

When Tony told him the system in the studio needed to be replaced, he thought back on that moment. “I got connected with Maurice at PMC and told him what was going on. He flew out on a red eye and helped us set everything up. We got the album mixed and delivered just in time for the release.”

“I’m not one of those people that has a set way of achieving a sound. I just listen and start tweaking stuff until it sounds ‘right’ to me. I always start with vocals. They’re the headliner of the show; they’re the thing the people are here to see. I know the sound I’m going for in my head and I start working until it sounds right. So it’s extremely important to me that I can trust the tools I’m working on. With the PMCs I know what I’m hearing is what the audience will be hearing. They’re like your friend that’s way too honest sometimes. They’re not gonna flatter you, they’re going to give you the facts.”

The Death of Slim Shady is available on all platforms.

When UK producer and DJ Roni Size cranked up the volume of his new PMC BB6 XBD-A monitors during a recent demo, a box of Danish pastries literally flew off the studio coffee table.

Mixing Seal II into Dolby Atmos at PMC Studio London, mix engineer Alex McArthur says, “The monitoring was exceptional. It really highlighted the differences between the original mixes and our current mixes, which helped guide the process in terms of matching the originals. In addition, having PMC’s Phil Millross’ expertise of the Atmos format and being able to listen to the Atmos demo material alongside our mixes was incredibly insightful.”
