This is a general comment on site structure: I just watched the first episode of this start to finish series. Why can't I just have the second episode coming up next? Either automatically or at least make it easy for me to click on it. Why do I get unrelated "related" videos instead of the thing wich I want the most?
I want a list of the videos coming up next in this start to finish series on every single episode. Please!

Vance slays. I could listen to him all day. I might book a day down in his studio just to hang out!

When he put the vocal mic in on the drums at 18:00 I was instantly thinking D'yer Maker. Also, this guy is a master! I could watch him teach all day.

I clicked the link to download the exercise files, but all that was in there was the PT session. Are the stems in a separate link?

It's amazing how every single step keeps adding a bit to end sounding super great, Vance has a really worked out method, really nice to watch.
Es increíble como cada paso va agregando un poco para terminar sonando groso, Vance ha trabajado su método muy bien a lo largo del tiempo, es genial poder verlo
