In this video, Grammy-winning record producer/engineer Che Pope (Kanye West, The Weeknd, Christina Aguilera) and Preservation Hall Jazz Band leader/bassist Ben Jaffe discuss the process and techniques used to capture the Apollo Artist Session Vol. XII.

Watch as they detail how to find the perfect song to infuse with a ‘60s funk/soul vibe, as well as the challenges presented by recording a live band in a space built in the 1800s. Then learn about the recording and microphone techniques used in the ’60s and how Che used Apollo’s realtime plug-in processing to emulate an analog UA 610 console with Fairchild compressors on every track to create a finished sounding session that made an instant impression on the band.
