The Grammy-winning mixer opens the real session and works through pitch correction, de-essing, EQ and compression, gelling two lead vocals, taming harshness, ad-libs and filtered delay throws.

A rare look inside a released hip-hop mix, with the mixer explaining what he listens for at each step rather than quoting settings.
