Description: We are very pleased to present you a series of videos, unlike any of the ones we have released to date! For the first time, we are sharing footage from one of our exclusive workshops at Studios La Fabrique. Watch the demo song transform into a full production by Greg Wells and Keela Settle. The highly talented duo listen to the “Hands Tied” demo and then embark on a collaborative journey of writing, arranging, performing, recording and producing. You will see how the process unfolds from scratch – overcoming obstacles, moments of revelation, trying different microphones and spaces, improvising and reaching the finish line of pre-mixing. In addition to the workshop material, Greg Wells describes the process, reveals his songwriting and tracking techniques, details his approach to drum editing and vocal tuning, and shares much more of his vast knowledge!
