Our Southern Souls Session

We had the pleasure of doing a Southern Souls session with Mitch Fillion (video) and Julie Lavelle (photos). The session was filmed at my studio, Chemical Sound. We did 3 performances direct to analog tape running at slow speed (15 inches per second). What you hear in these videos are raw live performances (no post editing or overdubs) with really great sound thanks to the studio equipment and  environment and especially Jay Sadlowski (who engineered the session and also co-owns the studio). I (Dean) mixed the final results from analogue tape into computer — doing the regular sound enhancements I would normally do (i.e. adding reverbs/delays/eq and thickening sounds).   Mitch filmed these performances in HD, doing single shot takes (no edits).  The lighting in the studio is low (especially at night) but Mitch did a beautiful job. A big thanks to Mitch for doing this, Julie for the photos and Jay for his help! Please enjoy!
