Vance Powell is back again for a Start To Finish Series at the iconic Blackbird Studio in Nashville, TN! He's brought Nashville-based "The Weird Sisters" in to pen the song "Live And I Learn."
Day one is all about setup and planning. Watch Vance show the band around Studio A, give the assistants his microphone wishlist, and explain the setup for Day 2, which will start with pre production in the control room.
With the song still in its infancy, Vance and the band set up in the control room to iron out individual parts and the song's structure.
Watch as Vance Powell:
- Gives his plan for the Blackbird portion of tracking
- Gives his microphone requests to the assistant engineers

- Sets up the band in the control room of Studio A
- Sets up the drum kit in the iso booth of Studio A
- Sets up the guitar rig in the main room
- Explains his special "Sprinkle To Taste" mic
This is your chance to join Nashville legend Vance Powell and The Weird Sisters at the world-famous Blackbird Studio and watch them craft "Live And I Learn" from Start To Finish.
