Between the tracking session and the mixing session is the often overlooked editing and production process that adds the finishing touches and details that can make a song stand out.

Every producer and engineer needs to help guide artists towards a cohesive vision for their records. Grammy winner Vance Powell works with the band Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown to add layers of vocals, guitar overdubs and create the final song arrangement together at his studio Sputnik Sound in Nashville, TN.

Vance demonstrates and explains his strategies for:

Vocal comping, working line by line, take by take, to make a good performance great

Recording background vocals to make the arrangement even more dynamic

Using Vocalign on the vocal doubles for a wide and tight sound

Special effects processing including reverse reverb, distortion, and delays

Crafting the perfect guitar solo tone from the comfort of the control room

Vance’s special “spin fader” trick using analog delay
