When one of America's most beloved rock bands came calling, Catherine Marks found herself stateside working on her most ambitious project to date. The Grammy-winning producer takes you inside the recording process for Manchester Orchestra's chart-topping single, 'The Gold', and reveals how she helped redefine the band's sound by embracing effects pedals, room mics and acoustic guitars. Recorded in a converted church in North Carolina, the Australian producer expands on how the studio acoustics played a key role in the sound of the record. With reference to her studio notes, she explores her experimental approach to microphone placement and signal processing, using a combination of road-worn guitar pedals and high-end analog gear to create inspiring tones and textures. For further insight into their creative process, Catherine calls up the band on FaceTime and they share their own perspectives on the recording process. You will learn how they developed the arrangements at their home studio in Atlanta and how Catherine brought everything together in the mixing stage using her signature tube-heavy summing rig.
