Russell Elevado - Five-Day Seminar in Paris
Join Grammy-winning engineer Russell Elevado for a five-day production seminar in Paris from January 25 to 29, 2027.
Russell recorded and mixed D'Angelo's Voodoo and Black Messiah, two albums that shaped the sound of modern soul and both winners of the Grammy for Best R&B Album. At Rue Boyer Studios, he will work through his process from tracking to tape to mixing on the console, and show how that sound is built, decision by decision.
In addition to his work with D'Angelo, Russell has recorded and mixed for The Roots, Erykah Badu, Common, Alicia Keys, Al Green, Jay-Z, and Keziah Jones, as well as Grammy-winning albums from Angelique Kidjo and Jon Batiste.
This is not a nostalgic look at vintage gear. Over five days, Russell will focus on analog thinking: committing to sounds, working within limits, and trusting your ears. Designed for working engineers and producers across all genres, the seminar shows how to bring that approach into any workflow, whether on tape, on a console, or in a hybrid setup.

The MWTM programme was launched in 2010 after the first ever week-long seminar was conducted at Studios La Fabrique in the South of France. At the time, it was intended to be a one-off event and the company did not exist. After the astonishing success and positive feedback following the debut seminar, MWTM was formed and further seminars were hosted featuring different guest speakers. To date, over one hundred and twenty seminars have taken place! Our events are now held at Rue Boyer Studios in Paris.
Aside from hosting an average of twelve week-long seminars per year, MWTM has also run a number of seminars and exclusive recording studio gatherings in the United States, typically coinciding with pro audio conventions by NAMM and AES. Our presence at these conventions has involved hundreds of live hour-long workshops given by A-list producers and engineers using a large-format console on stage!
In the United Kingdom, Mix with the Masters has conducted seminars in London, exhibited at conferences, and curated a number of special guest appearances at Abbey Road Studios for its 90th anniversary festival in 2021.
