Recording Project '08
Here's an update on the recording project that I am undertaking in 2008.
The are several doors that are opening through God's provision that have a lot of potential. A friend of mine in Chattanooga found out from my dad that I am considering my options, and he contacted me offering to help with the project. He's done several recordings (though he doesn't have a lot of experience with vocalist) but he is willing to work for peanuts just to be able to build up his portfolio. Another friend here in St Louis has a basement full of recording gear that he offered to lend to our church so it can be put into use. I would need a lot of help learning how to use it, but it would basically be completely free for my creative juices to flow.
On another front, I am going to tour a local studio and meet with some of their staff this morning. They are pretty swanky and so I am intimidated by how pricey it might be to do stuff there. Still, I need to evaluate my options, and hit the streets looking for what's available out there.
I don't have time to share all of the pros and cons of self-recording vs. going with a pro studio. I am currently leaning toward a mix of both, so stay tunned. If anyone out there in blog-land has a St Louis studio (not just a buddy who plays with loops on GarageBand) to recommend, please let me know.

How exciting! I remember, a few months ago, the worship team prayed about song writing and recording; it’s great that doors are opening.
So, are we going to sing some of them during worship? I think the “Beloved” song worked well, and that-in my opinion-was vocally one of the trickier ones.
