LB👑 is very kind😍🙏 Thanks you Sir💙

[@Ast3rixMusic]

I love his mixes they are so balanced and the 808's are just tight and the vocals are just right. I try to mimic what I hear as far as balancing and blending, but I also like to experiment with noise... it is something we hear all the time in music but don't realize it.

[@JLMIXEDIT]

Thank you in advance!

[@mani-ud8cu]

what’s is funny about Leslie’s Rcomp preset is I went to the Neon Guts video to see what threshold he put on Uzi and it happened to be 11.7😹 bru is a wizard. named the preset 7E77IE

Dope interview.... the music made me "feel" depressed tho lol

[@2point7182818284590]

In these interviews Leslie keeps mentioning how much he loves the UAD Fairchild 670 "Legacy" version. I hope that one day someone will ask him what exactly he prefers about it over the newer version, given the fact that he specifically keeps mentioning the "Legacy" version.

[@sgdsgf5089]

he probably likes the sound that he gets from the uad legacy version of the fairchild

[@2point7182818284590]

@@sgdsgf5089 Yeah. But it also might be that he just doesn't have enough DSP power if he only has that 4 DSP Apollo unit. I got 14 DSPs and surely couldn't make it with 4 DSPs , especially as I run stuff like Capitol Chambers, 480L and AMS DMX 15-80 S among others.

[@DeeKeiMixes]

It’s for the sound. The saturation and mid range sounds a tad different in the legacy version.

[@2point7182818284590]

@@DeeKeiMixes When did you talk about it to Leslie? Of course I know the sound differences - did he tell you that to his ears the legacy version wins every single time? I'm surprised that this is the reason.

[@DeeKeiMixes]

@@2point7182818284590 he’s one of my mentors. Ive spoken with him in person directly about it. No other reason. Maybe a touch of “that’s what I’ve always used so no need to try the new one”.

[@DruDilly]

I need that WTF Leslie preset…

[@DeeKeiMixes]

Rcomp from waves with 1.77 ratio, 17 attack, 177ms release getting about 3dbs max of GR
