Flux keeps the light on

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
