Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Chris Latham and we're here today at EMI Music Publishing's Nashville recording studio on Music Row with Expert Village. Generally we count on about an hour a song to sing vocals. Some folks take a lot longer, some folks it's a little quicker. After you've sung your lead vocals, we generally like a little time to do a little editing, make sure everything is in tune, everything is in time, and then you'll have a background singer, a harmony singer come in and put harmony vocals on. That generally takes anywhere from forty-five minutes to an hour per song. Then the mixing process starts. You can generally count on anywhere from two to four hours per song to mix things. Mixing, a lot of people think it happens quickly. It's a little time consuming and like I've heard a good friend of mine say, you can mix it fast or you can mix it right. You want to lean toward mixing it right. It takes a little time and be patient through that process."
