Derek Ali (MixedByAli) is a Los Angeles mixing engineer whose credits include good kid, m.A.A.d city, To Pimp a Butterfly, DAMN., Ctrl, and Record of the Year winner “This Is America.” He founded EngineEars for remote mixing education and access. Luke’s relationship runs through NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants), where Luke worked 2018–2024 evaluating MI and pro-audio tools, producing trade content, and shepherding artist/engineer programs. Derek was a recurring NAMM Show collaborator: mixing workshops, Playback features, and TEC Awards appearances, and Luke served as his primary institutional contact across that stretch. Luke wrote the NAMM trade Q&A with Derek ahead of the 2019 show (/writing/#trade). Beyond the show floor, Luke was in-studio with Derek repeatedly during those years. That is documented here as in-studio visits, not a claim on released discography credits.
