Ted Templeman reflects on his intimidating but ultimately triumphant first co-production with VanMorrison
Saint Dominic's PreviewTempleman wasn't a neophyte: he'd worked with producer and future boss Lenny Waronker on Harpers Bizarre, and he "would also go to the [Frank] Sinatra sessions, and I learned about headroom, over-modulating," remembers Templeman. "I would sit with the engineers. That's how I knew what I was doing. Sinatra was a tough session, because you had live strings and horns and background singers in a booth, and if something was off, he would hear it.
I was nervous, but he was understanding. He's stop and say, "So Ted, are we getting a good sign in there?" In his Irish brogue, he was saying "sound." He sang every track straight through, live with the band. That's how he captured the spontaneity. That's an important lesson I learned from him. I used that approach in all my future projects. Never burn out the band doing take after take.... just get the little parts ironed out before hitting the record button.
I remember one very stressful situation. Back then the producer or engineer would press record and say something like "'Wild Night,' take one" and it would put a tone on the tape called a slate. One time the tone didn't print on the multi-track. So Van asks [from the studio] if the take was good. I wanted to check….and we couldn't find the tone.
