Bayou Ingenue by Puremixer: Mark Conner

In part one of this epic installment of the Pro Member Mix Fix Series, Fab Dupont opens up the session for "Bayou Ingenue" by Mark Conner to discover the task ahead.

After reviewing the session, Fab calls Mark to discuss his thoughts and form a plan for the next two days to elevate the track.

With a plan in place, he taps on first-call studio musician, Dave Zerio, to re-track drums, percussion, and organ on the track.

Watch as Fab:

• Opens up the session for "Bayou Ingenue" to hear the tracks for the first time
• Calls Puremix ProMember, Mark Conner, to discuss his plan for the project
• Explains the entire drum setup with Dave Zerio and produces Dave's performance through the track
• Records the drums, organ, and percussion using only affordable mics and no outboard gear
• Works on the approach to the groove with Dave to find the right pocket for the drums
• Reviews the drum takes with Dave and creates a comp
• Edits the track to fit with the new tempo and groove of the drums
• In Part 5, Dave Zerio gives an in-depth breakdown of how a Hammond organ operates.
• Records and produces passes of the Hammond organ
• Adds Tambourine to the track
