    I’m an old saxophonist, and lightweight producer of some UA-cam music. I watch a few of the heavyweight engineer videos to be able to weigh some of the tips. Gotta say Wavy, this is a winner. Love this guy’s stories, and love the way he tells them.

  • @halhagy1766

    I made my living for 45 years as a corporate annual report photographer. When I started I was spending my days when I wasn’t working on the road hoping my slides turned out that I shot 3000 miles away, and doing some press releases in black-and-white with my hands stuck in chemicals for four orfive hours a day. Like Leslie hating tape; I hated chemicals. I was a nervous wreck worrying about my transparencies being perfect. Then my computer offered me Photoshop. I agree with him, being in the box, when the box can offer the same quality as analogue, is a no-brainer. Also, his take on careers in the arts is spot on. Everything he said should hit Home for every young, career climbing artist. Spending time in the woodshed with nothing on your mind, except getting better at your craft will eventually bring you monetary gains if you’re motivated.
    By the way, I’ve been playing saxophone since the mid and early 60s. I played professionally up until the mid 80s. I played the Baltimore clubs, restaurants, and the Strip clubs on the block, and I was on the road with three or four talented groups. I moved into photography as a career when I saw music moving away from live performances. I still play. I still practice daily, and music is my life. Corporate photography, which was a very creative living, was my career.

    OG LB has inspired me. I really appreciate how giving he is with information. I have learned a lot about balanced mixing and how to get the bass sounding tight by listening to his mixes. The migos songs are part of my reference material when I am mixing heavy bass. I love the full sail session that is on UA-cam where he walked through the plugins used and the why. Changed the way I think about how to stage my 808’s for sure!!!

  • @killakgh
    @killakgh 3 місяці тому

    if you skip thru the opening interview you don’t deserve the knowledge.. I consider myself a independent artist and have seen a handful of wavy videos on my journey, I started learning to mix/master a couple years ago. This video was the first I’ve ever heard of Leslie Brathwaite which is ironic because I live in “small town USA” and I say that in understanding of Leslie’s knowledge.
    Personally I agree with being who you are before anything as it defines everything that you do in the same result, and the common physical denominator in the foundation of this whole production(I’m talking everything involved person/equipment/etc)is hard work, and one of the biggest verbal structures is patience.
    Leslie did a good job expressing who he was as a person just telling everyday stories about his life and giving some of his personal life experience outside of music which viewing from somebody in my position really painted the the big picture and in result really defined the silver lining of Leslie’s mixing skills and knowledge in this production, as well as a result of all the work on Wayne.wav’s side.
    I feel the mixing knowledge would not have been as valued if not having the sentimental attachment of the background behind the whole process which is really inspiring and eye opening on many aspects of both business and personal levels.
    Much appreciation to everybody involved im glad I found this channel real talk
    yo wavy I was tryna access your mastering links but they kept me taking me to error pages not sure why I was wondering if you still offered mastering services ?

  • @jonathanblackwell42
    @jonathanblackwell42 Рік тому +2

    There is so much wisdom in this! I hate that I couldn't watch live. I'm looking at mixing as a hobby as a somewhat decent musician (not being humble, I've worked with good musicians and I can recognize they're better). The question I would ask is: Is mixing something that I can reasonably do well -- not professional level -- without investing a ton into hardware, software, and education? What does it take to be a decent amateur that is fine with going to a pro when I want it done well?

    The overall take away from this, is if you receive stems which have been tracked with a good mic, good signal chain and good studio, with a song which is arranged well and has good sounds, a lot of the mix is there already. These days getting a good sound in the daw is easily done, so long as those first elements are in place
