￥To make the production sound more like a finished record during the tracking process, Jacquire often calls on producers like Spencer Thomson to add programming and additional production to songs. Now that the band’s sounds are dialed in, it’s time to dissect and review the tracks sent from Spencer to see what compliments the band, what might work better with some editing, and what can go to give the band the right energy while they track.
