I'm the songwriter in this video (Darrell Pauls) and just wanted to say that working with Nicky and everyone else was such a great experience. Everyone was friendly and so professional and it felt very comfortable. If you're a songwriter and would like to get your songs produced I would definitely recommend that you contact Nicky. The price was less than I expected it to be and I am 100% satisfied with the way the songs turned out. This is the second time I've worked with Nicky and I just sent him 6 more songs to record. Can't wait to hear the new songs!
I own a studio out in Virginia, and these inside the studio videos are amazing. They're a wealth of knowledge for artists and engineers alike. Thank you :)
Man that makes my day. So glad you enjoy them! Let me know if there's anything else you want me to cover that I'm missing or you think others might find useful/enjoyable.
@ Richmond/Hampton Roads VA crew representing! Side note, as someone struggling to break into the session/touring scene, it’s super cool to see your perspective and hear your observations. Thanks for posting these. Also I will work for coffee at this point if you ever need a guy for a broke-ass client 😂
@@BrendanMakesMusic Bro if we work we get paid haha. Broke clients can find other ways to get their music made. Hope we get to work together down the road at some point...and if we do, lunch on me.
Let me know what you guys want me to cover next. Not sure if you are worn out on the session videos...or if you are more into my rants and guitar lessons haha.
Love the session content. Maybe explain which pedals you were using where in the session and why. Your thought process concerning sound to fit in the mix. Matjaž
@@EliasThury Right on! Might do a video where I show what the song comes in as and the discussion had with the client on where we want to take it...then how to make it actually happen.

Just watched my first video from your channel, Dial in your Tune, and already subscribed. Love your vibe, so damn authentic, and no BS. Looking to delve into much more of your content. Cheers!
I have written songs since I was twelve (1959). I answered the ad on a matchbook cover that was seeking song poems. If your poem was accepted, a crackerjack team of Nashville pros would set it to music and record it. Nashville has nurtured songwriting for decades. My personal issue is deciding when it's done. I keep refining it, changing a phrase or nuance, polishing the edge. How do you handle this in your own songwriting and especially the songwriting of others. You continue to amaze and delight me with your sensitivity and professionalism. Kudos from California!
Love that story. Super cool and thank you for sharing. Knowing when it’s done requires a team. My job as a producer is telling the musicians when it’s done or they will keep going all day as well and sometimes the magic is on take 1 or 2 instead of take 7. Having a second set of ears is always helpful and if you don’t have that luxury you have to remind yourself that you owe it to yourself to sound as good today as you can at this point in time. And then allow yourself to move on and develop growth in the next project.
This is incredibly inspiring! So cool to see BTS in a legit Nashville studio. I absolutely love Nashville but live in South Florida. It would be really cool to work together in the future. I'm glad that Mac from The Sync Opps recommended you. I'd reckon I can learn a ton from your channel. All the best to you!
So kind of you to say. Had a great conversation with Mac yesterday…an absolute pro and delightful to work with. Thank you for the kind words and would love to work together down the road!
Very cool behind the scenes peak! I know see how string noise does not get into the recording! I also assumed the instruments would be live in the room, it was a surprise just hearing strings and the bridge when you used the whammy bar. Very cool!
Ya man! Everything is very isolated depending on what we are doing. Sometimes it’s cool to have all the bleed if we are doing something throwbackish/old-school.
Few things as fascinating as unearthing and recording a song. Thx for the vid! Inspires me to dig in a bit deeper with folks I get to jam with to spark origanals etc
What a great video. Ive been recording in my own little home studio but some stuff is just beyond my reach. Subscribed and look forward to exploring the channel and possibly reaching out in the future for some assistance on a project. 12:30 ish reminds me of myself trying to nail my own guitar parts over and over and over.. lol..
Hahaha we were definitely on the struggle bus at 12:30. Looking forward to working together man. Really appreciate the kind words and you checking the video out. So glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome session video. Definitely keep them coming. Seeing these kinds of videos energizes me to get back in the studio and get some recording done. Albeit with Toontrack's help! LOL
Love these behind the scenes videos, Nicky. Your engaging interaction with every session member is motivating. Would love to see more on your approach and methods to pre-production. Thanks for what you do 🫡👏
Having spent a week in Nashville two years ago, I laughed at your reference to the Tennessee state bird. You aren't kidding. Down around the Bridgestone Arena there were cranes everywhere! I wonder if the city will able to support that many new hotels. Love all your videos and always look forward to the next one. I'll never be a professional musician so your RUclipss allow me to be that fly on the wall. Thanks.
I'm 100 percent on board with never becoming a pro musician - but I love the inside scoops, very inspirational for other things in life. Just great to be that fly on the wall.
Love your content Nicky. Keep ‘em coming 👌 All you guys sound amazing. Kuddos to the engineer. That snare sound through the monitors just sounds fantastic. That amazed me when we tracked in Nashville is how good everything sounds going to “tape”.
New video from Nicky V., loved every minute (second) of it. Thanks for inviting us to the session. Can't wait to see the first baby arrival video - and then the first song you write to your new baby girl. She will steal your heart. Great to spend a few mins and hang out with busy Nicky V... have a great Nashville day.
Thanks for another great video. It makes me miss the studio for sure. The way that keep things together, organize ahead and "plot" out where the road leads to is so important, Keep up the great work. FYI, BMI guy here, hey wait, where's my 60 cents from them!
A good producer knows not only the music, but also understands the song and meaning. They try to capture what the writer felt when writing those payoff lines and gives the song the best life it can have. After recording with you and watching this short, I feel this is what sets you apart.
Means a lot man. Love how your tunes turned out. Was actually playing “Taking Care Of Me” for the Paw-In-Law a few days ago while we were drinking a few beers
The more I watch your videos and similar content on RUclips, the more I'm struck with how much technology an artist must be comfortable with-- the technology of his instrument, the recording technology, and all the infrastructure behind it. Just having musical chops on your instrument these days won't cut it. Am i wrong? I'd love to see more content that addresses this topic. Thanks so much for this and other great videos.
You are spot on. There are very few guys that only have to worry about playing their instrument. A ton of work is done online/remotely as well. Which is a completely different skill set.
Nice video. More from this please. Show musicians, drummers, singers, engineers, catering, transport, communication, do's, dont's, recording and song writing proces, protecting copyright, etc., etc. very nice.
1:40 ... YES! Wildly interested in pre-production. Really enjoy your work. Thanks for the insider view. By the way, still a Christian, still come join us... Love the channel
I feel very hip using the term "Heater" haha. I'm producing a record for a modern country duo and learned that term from them...the single on that record will in fact be "Heater".
I really enjoyed this video but would love to hear your guitar's sound as heard in the headphones if not the full mix with everyone else. But great stuff, looking forward to more as a new subscriber. 👍🏻
Ya I know. Unfortunately there’s no way for me to do that without being a major pain/having too much to juggle with producing, playing and filming at the same time. Just the nature of me not being in the control room.
If you look on my site in the description there is a pricing tab that has everything itemized/ala cart. Typically a song runs around $2500ish depending. (Covers preproduction, drums, bass, keys, acoustic, electric, production, engineer, assistant engineer, studio time, vocal tuning, mix and master)
I have a question about capos in a recording session. any times when they should not be used or is it up to the guitarist. i am thinking of course of changing keys to match the vocalist. they are used live all the time by many different artists. your thoughts would be nice. thanks and keep up the good work
@@NickyV While part of me would like to come back to Nashville to visit, it's changed so much since I was last there in about 2005 that I don't really want to ruin the memories. I was there as Starstruck Studios was being built and while Reba was just passing her peak. It was the pinnacle of my studio career and something that I miss in many ways. Actually, what I miss most was being around all of the talented, creative musicians and engineers every day. I don't miss the long days at work... 12 to 16 hours, six days a week on average... but I loved that studio and all the artists who came through. Sorry to hear that yet another building is going to be torn down for condos. Hey... you know the difference between your waiter in LA and your waiter in Nashville? In LA you ask your waiter, "Who's your acting coach?" In Nashville you ask your waiter, "What kind of guitar strings do you use?" LMAO!! Cheers!
@@jimrogers7425 I got here six years ago so it was already pretty well changed by that time I have a feeling. So for me I don't have the brighter days to compare it to and now it still seems amazing. I love it here. Especially compared to LA haha.
Man, I’d love to have you produce one of my songs, just to hear what a bunch of pro musicians could do with it but I’m guessing it would cost a fortune!
Nicky, I have a DAW question that rarely gets asked (because I think the answer is assumed) - are there any studios you’ve worked in where Pro Tools isn’t the primary DAW?
The tremolo on the pink strat drove me nuts...clicking every time it was used...don't know what was causing it, perhaps hitting the deck...just saying... great vid anyway and worth the watch..
@@raucousrowdy6540 Haha...right on man. Basically, it gives you a slightly wider sweep with less movement on the bridge so its just a little less violent on the vibrato.
Start your prices off super low and for every five 5 star reviews you get, raise your price $5. That’s what I did before I moved to town and was basically practicing on there. At the time that method kept me towards the top of the search results while getting revenue coming in.
Something I’ve noticed about your playing is you play just enough for the song. It’s more than just not overplaying. You actually leave out notes that would complete the phrase like not landing on the root note at the end of a passage. It’s gives a dissonance to the ear. We’re waiting for the root note at the end of a chord progression and you leave it out. Really interesting.
Solid…I’m producing a song for a duo right now called Heater. That’s the only reason I’m hip enough to know that reference because I’m not hip at all haha.
