    I pretty much based my entire workflow for a final year degree project on Vance's workflow or approach, I absolutely love how he works in the studio, I would love to spend some time there just listening and watching. Thank you for spending the tie with hi and letting us share in the time.

    • @Producelikeapro

    I love Vance so much, what a role model - as a person (I think) and as an ngnr.
    I recall him breaking down a session in a video probably 2 years ago, where he and the band used a tiny epiphone combo as a second amp which ended up contributing to a unique guitar sound. Taught me a lot about shaping tone and sounds. What a legend..!

    Always a treat to hear Vance talk . We have similar backgrounds and are from from the same part of the country.( the difference being is that he went on to be a Grammy winning producer and engineer. Me? not so much!) I would not be surprised if we had crossed paths at some point in the late 80's or so, perhaps in Springfield, MO. A genuine dude!

    I think I missed this vid at the time, because of other commitments. We do like Vance, for his nerding-out, and no, I've never knew anything about him, other than I probably heard you or someone else mention his name. Love the fact that he wanted to play you bits of kit in the studio. Love the fact of another WORKING studio, looking as colourful as Aladin's cave, come fairground fun-house. Love the barn wood, love the bare-arse upfrontery plain talk of the man and his little red dots telling you it's probably too loud. You get the feeling that you would probably walk away from a session there with some 'chunky' sounds. Cool vid, great beard

    Fascinating talking about mastering engineers. Mika Jussila saved a record for me. It was my bands first album that we had worked on for 4 years and my mixing time my objective ear was totally gone. It was amazing how mixes that I thought were good had some major problems that I did not hear until Mika pointed them out. As soon as he did it was like my ears came back and it was like "what was I doing?" Remixed the album and it turned out way better., Great final line of defense!

    Regarding recalling mixing where the outboard gear was used, does anyone record the final tracks back in as new tracks, with the processing on? If so, that would make doing mix tweaks for adjusting a level easier because you have the track as processed.

    • @Producelikeapro

  • @L.Scott_Music
    @L.Scott_Music 5 лет назад +1

    The original fader port had button that aren't as sensitive to simple touch. He should be able to use the fader without button issues. Probably not really that big a deal for him though.

    I have a question for Vance: Since you work both, entirely in the box, and using your most wonderful hammers and saws, do you prefer recording and mixing using your outboard gear mainly for sonic reasons or do you like working that way? Thank you very much! And, Warren, this is one of the, if not the best interview. Thanks to you, too!
