PUREMIX Start to Finish Greg Wells Episode 3 Setting Up The Vocal Chain [TUTORiAL]
TUTORiAL
After recording and editing the piano for "Lucky Number," Greg continues building the track by having Bryce sing the vocal down to establish the heart of the song.
As Greg stated in Episode 2, nothing is ever truly scratch. With that in mind, Greg searches for the ideal vocal chain to match Bryce's voice with his vision of the track, nailing the tone now to ensure that anything sang in the scratch recording can be used in the final vocal.
