Russ Long's Guide to Nashville Recording is a DVD documentary of a recording session that puts the viewer right at the console! Watch Russ record two songs, with five Nashville session musicians. YOU are Russ's second engineer - documenting every microphone position, every EQ & compression setting....all the way from tracking to the final mix. To make things even more interesting, Russ records the two songs with radically different signal chains. Russ uses his arsenal of gear to capture song #1. Over $37,000 in microphones, preamps, and outboard gear! Then, with the home recording studio in mind, Russ records song #2 with low cost dynamic microphones and a popular 16 channel mixer. This DVD comes with a second DATA DISC, with all the audio files! Import the files to your DAW and 1. Compare the two recordings-decide if the "expensive" gear sounds that much better to you. 2. Analyze Russ's creative choices-listen to the choices he makes. 3. Mix your own version. Can you do better than he did? There's only way to find out. This is a great opportunity to sit in with one of Nashville's great rock engineers, whose discography includes The Newsboys, Sixpence None the Richer, Willco and Allison Moorer.
