メーガン・ザ・スタリオン - "Hiss"

When Leslie Brathwaite mixes a Megan Thee Stallion record, every detail matters. In this exclusive Puremix series, the Grammy-winning engineer opens his Pro Tools session to reveal the process behind “Hiss,” the chart-topping single that became one of Megan’s biggest statements.

More than a walkthrough, this is a rare opportunity to see how one of hip hop’s most trusted mixers thinks about balance, feel, and efficiency at every stage of a mix. From the first playback of the rough to the final deliverables for the label, Leslie demonstrates how instinct and minimalism can turn a track into a finished hit.

Highlights include:

• His vocal-first approach and how he builds presence and clarity without over-processing

• Techniques for shaping 808s, kicks, and snares so they hit hard while remaining musical

• The philosophy of honoring the rough mix while enhancing energy and impact

• Strategies for managing adlibs, delay throws, and clean versions for radio release

• Why speed, instinct, and workflow are as important as plugins and settings

By the end of this series, you’ll understand how Leslie Brathwaite delivers mixes that feel powerful, natural, and unmistakably ready for release. Only on Puremix.
