He never obtained the name-recognition of some of the more high-profile American engineers and producers from New York and Los Angeles, but he was famous and treasured in Nashville, where his skills steered an amazing 46 recordings to a Grammy Award nomination, nine of which won the Award.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick finally received his own Grammy Award in 2013, in the Best Bluegrass Album category, for the self-titled debut album of The Earls of Leicester, a group founded by dobro legend Jerry Douglas. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Vorndick\u2019s credits include internationally famous artists like Bob Dylan, B\u00e9la Fleck, Doc Watson, Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Joan Baez, Chet Atkins, Lucinda Williams, T-Bone Burnett, Don Henley, Amy Grant, Pat Metheny, and Jesse Winchester.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Vorndick also worked with countless artists at the heart of Nashville\u2019s country and bluegrass music scene, including Ralph Stanley, Earl Scruggs, Rhonda Vincent, Gene Watson, Jim Lauderdale, Claire Lynch, Craig Duncan, and The Nashville Bluegrass Band.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>ALL-TIME GREAT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick was the go-to engineer for anyone looking for exceptional recordings of acoustic instruments, and Jerry Douglas has credited him for being \u201cresponsible for the sound of bluegrass and for setting the bar for its quality.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe was like a painter,\u201d Douglas added. \u201cHe would paint these pictures and he did it with microphones. He did not try to do it with outboard gear later, he would start painting right away.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to helping to shape the modern sound of bluegrass and country, VornDick also worked in genres like jazz, folk, cajun, blues, soul, rock and electronic music. For example, in the early nineties he mixed the groundbreaking first two B\u00e9la Fleck and the Flecktones albums, which combined bluegrass with jazz, rock and electronics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick passed away in July 2022, at the age of 72, and below we\u2019ll be looking at his long, influential and wide-ranging career, and examine some of the recording and production skills that made him one of the all-time greats of American music.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>FROM SONGWRITER TO ENGINEER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bil VornDick grew up in the fifties and sixties in northern Virginia in a musical family. The young Bil was classically trained, and learned to play drums, guitar, piano and trumpet. While in high school he played guitar in a rock \u2019n roll band, and he started to write songs, which he recorded on a Wollensak tape recorder.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When he was 19, VornDick signed as a songwriter with Cedarwood Music in Nashville, and he would regularly travel to Nashville. VornDick got to know the legendary Chet Atkins, who advised him to move to Nashville and attend Belmont College.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick obtained his Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Music Business from Belmont in 1979. He continued to be active as a musician and songwriter, but his engineering activities became increasingly important.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He worked as chief recording engineer at the studio of country star Marty Robbins, and after Robbins\u2019 passing in 1982, VornDick became chief engineer at Stargem Studios in Nashville, which later became Curb Studios.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Vorndick also founded The Music Shop, and set up Music Row Audio, which was dedicated to acoustic recording. In addition, he started Mountainside Music Productions, a production company that included seven publishing companies, and set up Mountainside Audio Labs studio, just outside of Nashville.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>IMPACTFUL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the US, the seventies saw the emergence of what was called the \u201cnew acoustic music\u201d genre, which blended folk, bluegrass, jazz, and world music, and which was spearheaded by B\u00e9la Fleck, Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Tony Rice, New Grass Revival, David Grisman, and many others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick became closely associated with the genre. He had a desire to make acoustic music in general and bluegrass in particular sound as modern and impactful as the rock music of the day, as he once explained.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick worked on several solo albums by B\u00e9la Fleck, engineering <i>Deviation and Double Time<\/i> in 1984, and engineering and mixing Inroads (1986), Drive (1988), <i>Tales from the Acoustic Planet<\/i> (1995), and <i>The Bluegras Sessions: Takes from the Acoustic Planet Vol 2<\/i> (1999).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition, VornDick mixed the two aforementioned B\u00e9la Fleck &amp; The Flecktones albums, which were the band\u2019s self-titled debut (1990) and <i>Flight of the Cosmic Hippo <\/i>(1991).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>THIRD DIMENSION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick very deliberately distanced himself from the traditional approach to recording acoustic instruments, which usually involved just a few microphones placed several feet away from the musicians. Instead, he liked to put two mics on each instrument, using the 3:1 rule, which requires three times as much distance between each<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>of these two microphones as between the microphones and the sound source, and prevents phase issues.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cDouble-miking adds a third dimension to each instrument,\u201d stated Vorndick in an interview. \u201cI try to get one microphone on the lower side and one on the higher side of each instrument. On the low side, I tend to place them where the picking arm wraps around the instrument, between the elbow and the shoulder, the other where the neck joins the body of the instrument.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick stated that the choice of microphones was especially important because he tried to avoid using EQ. Instead he used high-pass filters and mic preamps to achieve the coloring he wanted on the sound.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to choosing the right microphone and pre-amp, VornDick also stressed the importance of finding the place in the room that work the best for the overtones of an instrument, or in the case of bass, for the axial response.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>FOLLOW YOUR DREAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Despite VornDick\u2019s obvious love of analogue gear, he also was one of the first to embrace digital equipment. VornDick\u2019s<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>recording approach changed over the years as he gained in experience, and the equipment changed. However, he always stressed that the gear was secondary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cJust follow your dream, spend time on your art. The microphone doesn\u2019t make the hit record. The plugin doesn\u2019t make the hit record. The artist and their performance. Our gig as engineers is to try to help them through it.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">VornDick\u2019s exceptional ability to guide musicians through the recording process and make them sound great was particularly needed<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">in 1998, when he recorded and produced a double album for bluegrass and banjo legend Ralph Stanley.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Called <i>Clinch Mountain Country<\/i> it featured duets between Stanley and Bob Dylan, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Ricky Skaggs, Dwight Yoakam, Tim O\u2019Brien, and almost thirty other artists. It became the top country album of the year, received the Record of the Year award of the International Bluegrass Association, and a Grammy nomination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The exercise was repeated in 2001 with the <i>Clinch Mountain Sweethearts<\/i> album, which featured Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, Lucinda Williams, Iris Dement, and many others, and which received the same bluegrass Record of the Year award, and again a Grammy nomination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">During this century Vorndick remained as active as at any time during his career, and he was involved in the making of recordings by Rhonda Vincent, Jim Lauderdale, Janie Fricke, Claire Lynch, John Oates, the aforementioned Grammy-winning The Earls of Leicester album, and many more. He also recorded and mixed an amazing 105 albums for Craig Duncan.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Vorndick was involved in countless organizations in later decades of his life, doing his best to educate young engineers and support musicians and the studio industry in any way he could.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At various points was he the chairman of AES Nashville, an adjunct professor at Belmont University, a founding member of the Nashville Engineers Relief Fund, instrumental in the creation of the Sound Health Insurance cooperative for musicians, and playing a role in another dozen institutions and originations.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In recognition of his achievements, the AES posthumously honored him with a lifetime achievement award.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Vorndick was active until right before he passed away, supporting budding engineers and producers to follow their dream, so they could be, as he once expressed it, \u201cthe person in the background who makes musicians realize their dreams.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGMlBKRkxUM19TQUklMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMllvdVR1YmUlMjB2aWRlbyUyMHBsYXllciUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93JTNEJTIyYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlciUzQiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZ3lyb3Njb3BlJTNCJTIwcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlJTNCJTIwd2ViLXNoYXJlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text] Bil VornDick was one of the great unsung heroes of American music.
