Full Sail University Recording Arts graduate/Grammy-winning Mix Engineer Leslie Brathwaite returned to campus in 2011 for the school's Hall of Fame ceremony. During his visit, he set up shop in the campus flagship recording studio the Audio Temple for a mix session demonstration of Yelawolf's "Made In The U.S.A." Two Recording Arts students were selected to be his assistant engineers on the session, and students were able to watch a live broadcast of the session inside the Full Sail Live Venue. In this demonstration, Leslie walks students through his mixing process and offers tips for running a smooth session.
After graduating from Full Sail's Recording Arts program, Leslie relocated to Atlanta and soon developed a working relationship with acclaimed producer Dallas Austin, with whom he'd assist on such '90s classics as Boyz II Men's 'II' and Outkast's 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.'
Since that breakthrough, Leslie's credits have spanned the world of rap and R&B, and include collaborations with artists such as Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, Ludacris, Akon, Madonna, T.I., Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, Ciara, and Young Jeezy. In addition to chart success, he has also been recognized with multiple Grammy statues, including nods for his work on the

I love the fact that he gave his assistant a credit for pointing out that static sound in the instruments. Great job guys.👈
he wasn't scared to speak up I can appreciate that
I have watched this whole thing 6-8 times in my life. Every rewatch yields something new to learn and remember. I learned so much about mixing a song properly from this
amazing! can't believe he's a alum of full sail, definitely gives me something to work for and look forward to. Makes me proud to be a student at Full Sail!
Staying motived!
Dude's got some great advice concerning workflow and problem solving.
wow. this was 2 years ago. felt like yesterday. That was me who asked the first question :)
Hey I'm a artist/producer, that needs a good mix engineer, hmu if your interested (Cody Epley)
o AiR J10 o I’m from Brazil and my dream is to study at this university
The official RUclips page of Codeine Kydd still in need of an engineer?
Nice! Check me out you may enjoy it! J learned in my own!

This is the type of video that you wouldnt appreciate if you dont actually mix and work on music constantly. He provides GEMS in terms of the mindset and subtle things that really increase work flow and quality. Especially the "dont make things a problem that arent one'.
TOO ALL THE HATERS...Regardless how he looks... He is getting PAID to do what he loves... ARE YOU?
They wouldn't listen anyway Bro Lol u know how they are
You're right! Isn't affirmative action great?
I don't get it, what's wrong with how he looks?
yes
Leslie Brathwaite is unselfish..thats why he will be one of the Greats
there will always be hate in every youtube comments section. Why? Cuz kids.
He really only scratches the surface, but this is what i learned
-He fills up the gaps with the delays
-Constant delays vs automated
-Don't be afraid to use a bunch of different timings
-He uses the big speakers when it comes to mixing the music
-Make sure nothing is clashing in bass
benja303 It makes sense
This is the most best explainable mixing advise, leslies workflow is incredible, and he really takes the time out to teach, and give the artists the vision there looking for!!
We're glad you enjoyed it so much! He definitely is incredible in so many ways.
This was a very good video and I love how Leslie broke down his process and made it feel like a personal teaching session. The inclusion of the assistants was another great touch and he even credited one of them for pointing out some odd clipping noises. I left inspired and can’t wait to starting mixing and mastering sessions to cement my legacy as an engineer. Hope to meet Leslie some day!
So well said! Your legacy has no bounds!
Wow I am so glad I stumbled across this video it's a blessing to be sitting here watching bigg slimes I'm learning so much just from this one video
I appreciate him sharing his mix perspectives and techniques. I’m going to try a few of these things.
Hand clap for the dynamic range at which you recorded. We need more engineers like that. Those that love to max out the dynamics can learn from this guy. More quality less loudness. Thank you Leslie.
It's truly refreshing to see engineers like you who prioritize preserving the full range of dynamics!
Thank you very much for uploading this. I feel like i`m back at school again!
Excellent video. Simply because it shows you that even the best of the best apply the most basic rules to mixing. Rule 1. Does it sound good and rule 2. Keep it simple stupid. Even though I am a self taught producer/mixing engineer and I have been doing some of the stuff he's teaching, on my own, without any school, it's reassuring to see a top 10 engineer keep it so simple. He doesn't do the extras & try to go all out on songs when he doesn't "need" to. & this guys catalog is DEEP. So if you ever think, "oh I'm not being complicated enough" Come back to this video and reassure yourself that you don't have to be too complicated. Just make sure it sounds good. Good video 👌🏽
thanks
bro they have 2k dollar mics and multi thousand dollar rooms these vocals are recorded in. and trust me it he applied hella shit that he's not showing.
Nice to see the process of one of the tracks, on such a great album! I will always think about this video now every time I play my vinyl of Radioactive, and when this songs comes on. Great work! Great video. :)
I enjoyed watching this humble engineere. We have lots in common which is music. I love his mindset.great job.👊
Mannn, I like his personality! Cool, confident, and not cocky.
I love the whole setup where there's a class and a studio separate... kinda like a go to meeting or facetime
Thank you Leslie, and Full Sail! Great tutorial.
Wow this helped me out a lot when it comes to the thought process
Really nice to know how they work, thanks for this FREE video

I AM ALWAYS WATCHING Leslie Brathwaite videos ON HERE. HE'S GREAT
So many 💎's to find!
@@fullsailuniversity Exactly. I love these videos along with other videos like hall of fame to. 💜🖤💚
We're so happy to hear it!!🧡
amazing video! i learn so much from these kinds of video's
Wow. Thanks for putting this on here. Education for free is great.
Seems like a great character to work with. Can't wait!
Wow I had no idea this was a part of my assignment at Full Sail... I was watching this the other day... Love Leslie.... Hope to work with or for him one day...
this was amazing broke everything down plan and simple
This is so awesome! Great mix
Blass, love the advice!!! "The more subtracting than adding to something you don't like in a sound, will give your mix better results" :) Gunna take that to heart thank you for this video! :)
this was a great session to watch!!
Do a lot of you not really know who Leslie Brathwaite is in the music world? I'm reading through some of the comments on here and I can see that many of you will probably not accomplish 1/10 of what he's already done. Don't think for one minute that he didn't know how to do everything he was doing but he allowed the interns to have a moment and the audience and got them involved. His wall alone of Platinum and Gold records from songs he's mixed will impress you. A simple test would be to ask engineers that you know in the game who is Leslie Brathwaite. Thats like some of you saying Tony Royster Jr. is an ok drummer!!!
hoo tha fuck Tony Roysta?
I will to know WHO he is cuz I have a full album I need to get mix and master and looking for the best producer to work with hit me up please 5618028167 SHINE
im one one the best hmbu if you want me to sample a song
Let's work
For sure you will love how i mix i have the best vst plugin tex my phone at 505 3575751
This guy is amazing!
This was great, felt like I was in the room learning with Leslie!
haha leslie is so cool. jus a chill guy
I'm so glad I mix my own songs for these music videos on my channnel!
This was Amazin'
Great tutorial, gives a good insight to how things are done at the top level.
Still refreshing facts ☝️❤👊.
Everyone needs a good refresher!
The dude who mixed Pharrel William's Happy. Thanks for the tips and keep on doing the good work
that diffuser is beast yo!!
Thanks for shearing .i hope the kids catch on.for doubling vocals
I like the session very much
this guy defiantly knows what is up... idk if i heard something i didn't already know... but its good knowledge
I am impressed by this guy
Ooh when that verse dropped I had to grab the extinguisher 🔥🔥
every fucking things is right i love this video
really good advice thanks for tips on a different work flow! I always have a different approach but i think im going to try starting with vocals for now on always to see the difference.
He makes the end and different mixes sound so simple
It took so much time and work to get to that point though!
My OG Leslie. big up
WOW LES! awesome video bruh
This stuff is actually pretty solid. I've not taken any courses at Full Sail, but I'm going to a 4 year school for audio engineering and these guest lectures are informative. Also develop that "command-s" pro tools twitch.
Very informative! Thanks for the video
This video was great! Learned a lot.
The question he asked @ 12:15 yes there is a way to bypass all the plugins at once. You can bypass all plugins on the same level by holding option down then command and just click one plugin and then every track with a plug in at the level in which you just bypassed will bypass as well.
I remember going to this presentation.
this guy is amazing
sounds incredibly dope
I've been in the Music Production program at Full Sail for the last 13 months. Honestly, all debt aside, this school is the best school to attend for this kind of work. I have learned more in this school in the 13 months I have attended than I have anywhere else. All the naysayers that are posting their rude and crass comments about the program or what this ONE video was teaching, are ingrates that will most likely be flipping a burger at Sonic or McDonalds for the remainder of their days acting like the wanna be producer living in their moms trailer sound proofing with carpet pad and Windows 98.
Patrick Robinson Yes! I am also attending Full Sail for music production, and in all the years that I had been doing my own music, Full Sail has definitely checked me and set me straight! I have learned more in these past 15 months than on my own. Great school!
Yes!
Haha you’re relaying too much on traditional education. The thing is that you’re not really promised a job and to be honest you can get this knowledge for free, anywhere & everywhere. You’re most likely going to end up flipping burgers too because you need experience a thing that you don’t have, you’re not going to be making money because you’re a intern and interns don’t make money. You need to get that ego down because even though you got education theres producers that can completely out perform you that didn’t go to a traditional school such as Curtis King, LifestyleDidIt & Decap. All these producers have placements with major artists and they’re all self thought engineers. No debt no nothing. I hate these comments because some people think that the only way to make money is by going to college and collecting huge amounts of debt just to end up working at burger sonic or McDonalds because they overpaid for free knowledge. Sheesh
@@OZZOZZ Dr Dre
skilled and informative good stuff
Nice that the finished track still has dynamics and isn't squashed to hell.
I really enjoyed his tutorial - very relaxed and funny, good insights into some of the pitfalls he encounters. He is obviously a great success and I wish I had his ears! All this negativity in the comments is strange - there's nothing wrong with going to college is there? If any graduates turn out to be any good, they'll get a job, if not, they won't - no different to any other industry. If Full Sail or any other educational establishment was so bad, it wouldn't attract new, paying, students and would go bust.

Super Leslie
Leslie Brathwaite is such a beast
for him to ask how to erase the plug-ins at 1 time showed humbleness, most wouldn't asked just erased 1 by 1 and just acted as if that's the best way it showed even though your a teacher your always a student #thedealerman
8:22 - I like that. I have to say, he gave about 3 good tips IMHO. Keep searching guys and god luck.
Always listen to successful people.
I was taught at IPR in Minneapolis by an engineer who worked with Prince at Paisley Park, mostly on Prince's "Graffiti Bridge" and "Come" albums.
A lot of commentators complain about how simple those mixing tips are, not what they expected. Well, from a musician point, the track is also extremely simple, but I don't yell that I was waiting for a gazillion note per second guitar solo or super fast rap on super complex philosophical themes - it won't make a hit, actually it will preserve a song from becoming a hit.
Mixing actually should be simple because is a utilitarian routine about making people hear actual musical material without any unwanted sounds. If the material is shit, mixing won't help. Mixing is on top of the process but you don't have to be a god, just have ears, logic, and patience. If you want complex stuff - go underneath, dive into what's coming first - try composing music, playing an instrument, constructing a guitar/mic/amp, programming a plugin that recreates real hardware, building a studio where it'll all work and sound good together.
Best man
Love it!!
This is why he is the GOAT!
This is amazing
very formative good engineer and a teacher
this was pretty cool man I cant wait to get enrolled and start living in the world of music which makes more sense to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you end up going to Full Sail? If so how did it go?
this is an awesome video!
That mixing board is insane.
This is so cool
It is the coolest! 😎
Good work holding the camera Phelipe!
reminds of me my days with duke the god in quad studios.. when i made beats for dipset back in high school 2004 days.
FULL SAIL U!!!
Very informative!!!!!!!!
good seminar.
Great video!!
🤝 🧡
Great thanks
Thanks!!!
This was still a dope ass video.
God that girls voice is awesome.
i beg to differ. sound too white and poppy
how does someone sound "white?"
racism breeds racism dude
I can't do that squeak at the end of every line....
Wish he could have went over his stereo imaging/filtering and eqing techniques, but great video!
I love this shit 💯
You show a lot more explaing while you produce the music sounds really good
The problem in every single video like this is the quality sound, everything is really well, i would like to see in pre raw mix, if i can't set-up my synths very well i would like to see how he "clean the sound", that would be a great video.
very insightful!!!!!!!!
GREAT TIPS!!!!!!!!!! And Session.
Glad you found the information useful!
Thanks. Blessings-Don
It was interesting to watch simply for the differences between using Ableton and Pro Tools. I don't own Pro Tools so the information I understand about it is from watching videos and hearing feedback from users years and years ago. What I notice is Pro -Tools has advantages in the details of editing wave forms where with my session I absolutely need to export to another application like audacity or re-import and Ableton session to Propellerhead Reason. I would have liked for him to talk about the isolation of specific frequencies for standard instruments like bass, piano or guitar granted that is also up to what the artist wants. A good introduction otherwise for a new student.
this tough me looooaaads!
GREAT VIDEO! LIKED!
