After laying down the final bass tracks, Vance sends the session up to Studio B with his assistant engineer, Mike Fahey, to edit the takes and get everything to lay in the pocket.
Watch as Mike:
Explains how he and Vance can share sessions via the network from room to room
Setups of the session for editing and gives best practices for being able to find your way back through previous versions of the session
Edits the bass synth, bass guitar, Clavinova, and rhythm guitars to fit in the groove for a tighter performance that is still in the pocket
This is your chance to join Nashville legend Vance Powell and The Weird Sisters at the world-famous Blackbird Studio and watch them craft "Live And I Learn" from Start To Finish.

Vance is like: the uncle you wished you had in your past and together with his professional assistent he shows us a very good job of catching the creative performances of this band.. I think Gaby contributes a lot with many skills and I observed she had a really professional focused attitude, if you would tell me that she is a musicteacher also I would belief it and Izaak complements her really well with his hippie authentic way of being, both very musical, so also from all kinds of angles this was a really great one puremix!!! I was wondering why the backing vocals were not tuned, episode 23, because the lead singer was tuned before that... Kind Regards, Jeroen Simons, Independent, ex - EPICA.

At 23:41 there is something weird in the doorway, under the acoustic guitar. Not sure what that is??

I always enjoy watching Vance work. He does a great job explaining what he's doing and why. And, after 35 episodes, I feel like I know everyone who participated!

Excellent addition bridge. The only thing I hear is in the bridge the kick and bass are buried, compared to the entire song punch. Fabulous job.

Vance explains the STT knobs (send-to-tape). He says: preamp all the way down (20db I think), channel fader up to 0 unity, STT all the way down and then bring up appropriately. I think he is adjusting the preamp before he adjusts the STT for ProTools, right?
Sometimes it's nice to drive the preamp for a bit more dirt. How does he keep faders at unity if he is doing that?
