Before building a name for himself as a first-call producer and mixing engineer, Greg Wells worked as an in-demand session musician and multi-instrumentalist for an incredible range of artists.
In this episode of Greg Well's Start To Finish Series, Greg fills out the arrangement of Bryce Drew's "Lucky Number," by tracking multiple layers of guitar and keyboard overdubs, adding gorgeous soundscapes to the production.
Watch as Greg:
- Mics up his Divided By 13 guitar amp and cabinet using an SM57 and R121
- Performs multiple passes of electric guitars
- Records various instrument passes of vibes, flutes, pads and more using his Mellotron
- Edits together the numerous takes of guitars and keyboards to create the perfect arrangement
- Explains his thought process on experimentation and failure in the recording studio
