Studio Time

There was some mixed feelings and a bit of fear going into the studio to listen to what recorded played back. People a lot of times don't like hearing themselves. I was worried I might be cringing a lot. There was also a mix of curiosity and hope over wondering we caught.

When we went into the studio we listened to the recording from Friday night and Sunday morning at the church. I was surprised!!! I felt a lot of warfare about Friday and to my delight and surprise there was some good stuff that came out of it. Also I did not mind at all hearing my voice play back. I mean there was some rough spots and off key stuff but that's pretty normal for me ha ha and in a living recording. As I listened my heart was encouraged as I head the faithfulness of the Lord to me in it.

So what we are doing is listening to over 8 hours of material to find what we want on the recording. As Stephen says, we are looking for the "juicy spots". The places where I am singing and the life of the Spirit is on it. I think the most work is to come. My work is done but now Michael and Stephen have to mix and master and all the technical stuff. But I still have to decided what I want on it.

Today we are going to listen to Sat and Wed recoding. Sat night was my breakthrough night so I am excited to hear it. I feel like a lot of what will go on the album will be from the night, but we will see............

Also yesterday I went to a photo shoot with a new friend Malissa Pellegrino in Salem. I have never done anything like that before. It was fun. Her and her friend brought a couple props and without me telling her anything about the album really it all kinda fit. So we will see what comes out of that but it could be fun for the album cover even. We shall see.

Ok back into the studio.....
