So I started working on my new album. I'm calling it "Alive". I started writing and arranging pieces for it over two years ago. I've got my new home studio built and set up. I've already started working on the first piece.
I've always wondered what the recording process of some of my favorite musicians was like or any behind the scenes videos of how they do things. I get really excited when I see a video like Pat Metheny talking about how he uses the Bose L1 system or…

About a month ago I performed my latest composition in an Easter service. I started the project this last winter and was trying to depict an accurate story of Jesus' life through instrumental guitar and a slideshow presentation that included images and scripture.

This is something new to me. Building a computer that is. I've considered it for years and have gradually collected information.

Chris Moore said… HI David,
Just wondered how your mastering is going?
I tried the company again that did my EP in 2010, but this time it just wasn't sounding right. I think he over compressed it. I found another company and was very happy with a returned sample. Going ahead, getting mastered tracks back on weekend hopefully. It is more expensive than before, but the resulting rich sound is worth it.
Cheers
Chris
