Hey y’all! I do want y’all to know that I was alive lol.
Up to that point, i had been traveling about 2/3 times a week for about 6 weeks, and it did take a huge toll on my body. Although it had caught up to me at some point during the taping, I was in tune and very blessed to take part in this convo.
I don’t want that to get lost at all, as this is one of the most important and most knowledgeable guests we’ve ever had on the couch with us.
Hopefully, you all can take away as much game and information as possible from this episode. I deeply apologize if I was a distraction in that.
Thank y’all for the support, and let’s keep nerding out.
You good bro we know Devvon likes to do most of the talking lol
@@rbisthatyousomebody had to say it 😂
as long as you're kind to yourself man, it's good. you prolly the type that's hypersensitive to your environment and your time and when that environment is new or time is displaced, you prolly gonna crash a little mentally. tick the boxes you can, that's the best you can do
Dont stress man , everybody yawned on that ep accept Dev lol.. That shoulda been pre production convo.. Please keep the cam on the talkers.. im tiredddd
Nah zoe you straight homie except for the part where you couldn’t wait to ask him to partake in the question game, which is totally normal, we all get starstruck! lol, you guys are great together and y’all have created a lane for the guys in music people aren’t really checking for but still wish they can meet
THIS was the episode I was waiting for. Leslie's a true icon. I could watch hours of his story telling. Would love a part 2 in the near future 👀
Man I was lit soon as I saw they finally got Leslie! 🔥🔥🔥
Shout out to Devon saying the word “right” every 5 seconds for 2 hours straight ! 😂
bro likeeee
😭😭😭
I didn’t even notice till I saw this 😂
😭😭😭😭
Now I can’t un hear it. Thanks lol
This might be the best episode yet, lesile brathwaite dropping vital gems while making it funny.
The lesson here is stay in your lane and don’t complain. They will come to your energy… never push…pull people in with your energy 😁💪🏽
Such a legendary episode! I gotta say y'all have provided me with so much knowledge as to who these people are and importance of their impact on the audio and music industry. Appreciate y'all fr! You really can't put a price on this info and the amount my mixing has improved since listening to yall podcast is insane. I'm able to understand audio and the manipulation of audio a lot better than before. Will always gladly support y'all.
THIS IS THE EPISODE EVERYONE AND THEIR MAMA WAS WAITING FOR!
Btw, The way you guys dress is already an intro and repping your DAWS 😂.
This video is gonna be so legendary
This has been my favorite episode by far.
My Album drops on Friday and this episode immediately put me back into work mode!
Y’all are a blessing to the community man. Keep doing what you’re doing. You never know who you’re inspiring every day.
This one and the Teezio stuff eps yep
I find that my mixing process became more minimal once I learned how to record really good takes. Great pod Leslie dropped gems
The shortest 1 Hour and 42 min, man this dude is so humble but his stories says otherwise lol
Man this episode and Terrace Martin I'm officially tapping in no matter what.
@helpmedevvon11 nah man thank y’all truly bro ✌🏾
Soaking up all the gems 📚
One of the best episodes ! thank you
Bro he mixed so much of my childhood! Sick dude! Thx for bringing him up! Was one of the best episodes🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best episode yet!!!
I'm glad this is almost 2 hours long! What an episode!! Thanks Audio Nerds! 🤘
One of the best ep because Leslie on it
Iam str888 from JAMAICA grateful for this opportunity I look up to the elder nuff respect
I literally smiled EAR TO EAR the ENTIRE episode. This was sooooo goooood. Thank y’all so so much for this. Y’all don’t know how amazing you are.
Beasty episode‼️
Awesome interview guys. Gave me much to contemplate as far as mixing, collaborating, paying attention to the social musical impact of certain types of music, and many other things. All the young mixing engineers, producers, should watch this. For his examples of integrity, not hate'n on other competitors, understanding his clients and what they are trying to convey to him in non-technical about the mix. I think that the people that hire Leslie know that Leslie doesn't drink or smoke, and there's little worry about him having a negative effect on the music or maybe the session vibe. And I think that's worth a lot, because he's representing whoever called him for the gig.
I really enjoyed this one. Cudos.!
Full Sail Legend🔥
Great episode and interview 🤩 watching this makes me realize both how much I love mixing and also how much luck is involved in the success of life.
Thanks for producing a channel fellas, and I'm gonna keep watching 🙌🏽🔥🎛️🎚️
I have always loved Leslie"s work. Thank you for bringing him on here.
Legend gotta watch this episode 📝
Ayyyee yoo, I can’t even put into words how inspirational this episode is…. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
A full sail legend 🔥
Recently got hip to Leslie and all the hits he’s been a part of and have been dissecting every interview of his I could find.
Hella lit to see the legend tapped in with my favorite pod 🔥 keep spreading knowledge yall!
This was a good Jawn, I love how y’all mix life and other subjects with audio info. It’s informational but it’s easy to take in “ No Diddy “.
You know it's gonna be a good day when new Audio Nerds podcasts drop.
Logic Here!!!!
Great interview. Great dude. Thanks for sharing
Leslie Brathwaite is one of my favorite engineers, and he strictly mixes in the box, he's very knowledgable this was a dope Interview, Congrats guys. By The Way Protools 4 Life 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 @TheReaMixedByBL
Thanks for contributing to music history, Les is an absolute legend!
Leslie is a masterful engineer and an even better person. Great interview!
WOW! my favorite episode by far! Leslie has a great charisma and is excited to share his knowledge and stories.
I can’t explain how much I appreciate this episode and on a more simple note this podcast and channel you and your team have put together has done more for my production and engineering education than I could have ever fathomed.
Best Episode!
🙏🏿🙏🏿
Got me ready to mix
Great episode as always. 💎Would love to see Will Power on your show.
I was so waiting for this episode! This was everything! Gems for days.
Ya’ll got Leslie!? 😮👏🏾
Damn.. this is episode is the truth! 🔥🔥🔥
Dope interview with the Jedi!!!!Leslie Brathwaite
Leslie is cool as hell, can tell he’s a real genuine dude and funny as hell
I didn’t even know who Leslie was before this episode. I watch all the episodes, but I don’t know much history.
This was my favorite episode by far, shoutout Leslie, shoutout y’all! I’m going on a wormhole right after I comment this 💀
Great episode kept me locked in love the way Les answers these questions with so much detail a lot great things covered in this yaw doin it for the community 🤞🏾💪🏾
I love that Leslie uses a minimalist approach and stock plugins..as an engineer that's somewhat limited by the age of my rig, I use 75% stock plugins and keep it very minimal..its very inspiring hearing the caliber of songs he's mixed with his approach..easily my favorite episode..thanks for this one guys
Leslie is The Goat 🐐🐐🐐
this episode means a lot to me.. i originally started at full sail, transferred to Atlanta at AiA and he came in and showed us the “Happy” session by pharrell.. left that year to go back to full sail and graduate. this man is unintentionally a genius, he gets it. gonna tag y’all in some of the videos on IG of him showing us
Crazy episode, Dope Guest! Thanks! #LOGIC
The long version story turned out to be accidentally becoming the mix engineer for Madonna?? Yes, yes we needed that story
I can listen to Leslie's stories the whole day, Great interview guys.
Great episode guys! Thank you for this! Leslie is the goat!
Leslie really gave gems in this podcast!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That Nick Rubin quote that he explained was powerful man!!!!
ALOT OF GEMS IN THIS EPISODE ! THANK YOU DEVVON
Leslie’s so insane!!! Absolutely gems. Thank you, Thank you 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Mind-blowing episode! Thanks guys, love!
best episode yet! love how laid back he is
43:00 when you're mixing records that are recorded by professionals you shouldn't need to go overkill on plugins. The source material is 50% of the work.
23:20 I already knew he saved that kanye session.. W play 😂😂
This is amazing. Les is Goated
So inspiring!!!
This was a dope ass interview fellas
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm a big Leslie fan
I enjoyed this, thank you!
He just made me rethink mixing. Simple is best! 🔥🔥🔥
"Oh, you're one of those, you live in the negatives" 😂🤣🤣🤣
You guys are killing it!!!
Love the podcast and the free accessibility of knowledge , really appreciate the ease of access you guys push ❤

Can’t believe I have never heard of this man. This episode blew my mind multiple times, my guy said he was mixing #1 hit records in his car!!!! 🤯

God bless Mr.Leslie. Sounds he got good heart.
Great interview 🎉 Very informative. Question 🤔 When mixing lead vocals in the box, is it good to use the mono or stereo plugin for compressor, eq, etc...
“Right” 😂😂😂. Dope episode.
It's crazy how much Leslie looks like the one guy from New Girl
