Live Recording is Finished

Man! Where do I start? We worked our tails off this weekend. Live recordings are definitely not something I like to do every day but are fun every now and then. They are a ton of work to setup and have a tendency to be riddled with problems no matter how good you plan them. On this occasion, we were blessed to not have any problems and I contribute that to the grace of God. Josh Quarles, a good friend of mine, assisted me on this project and he made me look good by patching like a pro. I will be getting some rough mixes out to the producer soon so we can start making plans for overdubs and such to be started in late January. We tracked from the drama classroom and therefore had props to play with when we weren’t busy. Just wanted to let you know that Josh is not a Samurai Gangster and I did not threaten him with a Muzzle Loader at any point no matter how much I wanted to.

This weekend…

I have been gearing up for a live recording for Kingdom Living Ministries this weekend. We will be recording 8 songs in their Christmas program and then going into the studio to record the last 4 songs. Since I don’t own a huge studio for doing such a show, I am appreciative to John Gholston at Gear for Days for working with me to get the best possible system. I’ve also recently acquired 4 new Crown PZM mics that I will try out as house microphones.  Here is what they look like:

As far as Jamie Harvill’s project goes, we have tracked the first 6 songs of the album but I still need to edit the tracks and then we will start some overdubing. He also hired me to mix a song for the World Outreach Church’s children’s worship cd. That song is close to being finished and I will post it on jonbufkin.com whenever it is done.
