For their fifth album, The END, Black Eyed Peas main man will.i.am took the band — and their long‑serving mixer Dylan Dresdow — in a new direction, with stunning success.
Formerly from Florida, like many other US top mixers a graduate of the Full Sail University's Recording Arts programme, and now a resident of Los Angeles, Dresdow cut his professional teeth at Enterprise Studios in LA, and subsequently benefited from a one‑year master class assisting the legendary mixer David Pensado. '3D', who owes his nickname to the fact that he has three 'd's in his name and to a talent for spatial mixing, has been independent since 2000. In 2006 he founded his own studio, called Paper VU, and his credits include Ice Cube, Missy Elliott, Wu‑Tang Clan, Michael Jackson, Nas, Common, Chris Brown, Usher, Flo Rida and, of course, Black Eyed Peas.
