With the tuned lead vocal in place, Issac heads back into the live room to lay down the vocal doubles on the chorus.
See how Vance Powell:
- Explains how vocals were tuned with an Eventide 910 or 949 before computer-based tuning was possible
- Plays back the tuned vocals for the band
- Explains the plan for the vocal doubles to Issac and Gabby
- Adds the copper phone to the vocal double blend
- Sends the recorded doubles back up to Mike Fahey in Studio B for pitch and timing correction
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?
