Leslie’s approach helped me massively even for mastering. Top tier legend

[@fullsailuniversity]

He truly embodies the essence of a legend! We are thrilled to hear that this has made a positive impact for you.

[@IOG2K]

I love this guy. One of the best engineers and that's demonstrated by his legendary credits and years in the game. Yet, he still uses plugins and relates to the average person e.g. mixing in untreated environments like the car...

[@fullsailuniversity]

So do we!

[@maxreaper25]

The car is treated. That’s the point

[@dsmem15]

[@ellobobeats6324]

Can anyone help me find his email? Thanks

[@jahdread]

Yes

[@SamiDaComposer]

Gain staging is a problem but u gotta realize that and distortion made a whole new genre in rap music so in a way it’s. A mistake/blessing/curse

[@kiaeshghi6999]

That's a different type of distortion. Digital distortion that is a result of clipping is different from using distortion or saturation as an effect while mixing.
