With the guitar solo in place, Gabby and Vance fire up the Moogs to create a synth solo that works in tandem with the guitar solo.

Watch as Vance:

Explains his ideas for the synth solo to Gabby
Adds the Strymon Volante pedal for some reverb and depth
Swaps out the Mini Moog for a Moog Sub Phatty
Works with Gabby to craft a synth line that weaves in and out of the guitar solo
Enhances the guitar bomb at the end of the solo

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??

vance took the music to a whole another level. crazy what a producer / engineer / mixer can do to a song and to a banda. mind blowing.

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?
