It's day 2, and it's time to review the previous day's takes to see if everything is gelling with the programming and the pocket is tight.

In this episode, Jacquire goes through his entire performance editing process live on camera and has his assistant, Danny Pellegrini, record drum samples of the kit.

See how Jacquire King:

Looks for moments to comp the bass guitar
Explains his approach to editing drums by hand instead of using beat detective to preserve the pocket
Edits in the middle of the transient to get a smoother edit transition after pulling the clip back
Reviews his edits and adjusts as he goes
Discusses his preference for batch crossfades across his edits
Explains a little known Pro Tools preference setting that helps him speed up the editing process
Edits the bass to sit in the pocket with the edited drums
Demonstrates his technique for hiding edits that cannot sound natural
Has his assistant, Danny Pellegrini, tune the drums and record samples of the kit

Watch Jacquire King mix "Keep The Light On" from Oak & Ash. Only on pureMix.net

I think having to listen to the song so many times whilst hes not explaining what hes doing gets boring and gives me listening fatigue. Its different when you are the mixer. Being pro ectively engaged automatically. But during these silent listening periods maybe there can be more annotation to make it more engaging for the viewer of these rather long spells of silence. Or have the mixer overdub what hes doing in post production of these videos in voice. To make it more engaging for us whilst were watching the mixer fiddlleing. When im mixing i can fiddle away of course. But if someone was watching me, i would want to describe to them what i am doing as i do it to keep.it interesting for them . Something to consider for future puremix tutorials. And thank you mr king ! Obviously hes sharing thoroughly his process! Muchly appreciated.

The lead vocalist was talking too much in Ep. 6 time 48:45. That there was peak "why bands break up" He was like, I dont want this fill 😂 . Every other band member was down at that moment. Otherwise, Great song. The singer needs some humbling.

What a cool series! Really interesting to see the process from start to finish. Excellent detail and explanations. I think I'd like to have a pint with Jacquire.

So funny, lol I use HEAT and it's great, but it's literally off when the knobs are centered.

Wow! So glad they left the Buzz segment in at first it was really annoying. but very cool to see how Jacquire responded. he was obviously annoyed by the persistent problem but pro active in striving toward a solution and reassuring to the band. Great Video!

Would love a template video for Jacquire, especially one with LUNA!

Quite surprised by the amount of EQ they are using at the recording stage. Fix in the mix doesn't seems to be the rule here but who cares ?

Thumbs up to Rich! I know how hard this can be for a vocalist and I really appreciate that you made it on camera and shared it with us! Thank you 1000 times for that! P.S. The whole series is great and the song is F.I.R.E.!
