    EP 13 Vocal Production

    I saw a video of Billie Eilish And Finneas showing that she had "comped" 87 vocal takes for one song. So this is me discussing not only how fans perceive vocal production but also how artists can sometimes make an enemy out of what are really useful tools.

Pier , Hopetown Sound

Been to his studio many times ... he doesn’t brag about the amazing artists he’s worked with, he’s one of the most knowledgeable, humble, sound engineers, biz owners in the biz. Really stoked he’s sharing his knowledge via podcasts!!
