Hi everyone! After having a break for two weeks, we're back!
Let me tell you, we're all pretty excited to have our Saturdays free again. We're all pretty excited to ACTUALLY BE FINISHED with this project.
Yet, like Dustin said today, it'll be a little sad when it's all over, too.
But mostly so exciting! :)
Today was a great day...because we finished all our tracking! When we review the music and Andrew mixes everything, there for sure is a possibility of having to go back and re-record a piece or two. But today was a huge milestone we finally reached!
It started off with bacon, eggs, grape juice, and coffee. Haha! For real, it did. Even though the "start time" is 9:30, we don't usually start recording till an hour or so later. Andrew, Dustin, and I (have become, haha!) are very chill, so we all have a great time catching up over coffee, over lunchtime, and over our many break times.
But we did record today too! We did three little projects.
For the first one, Andrew added strings to the song "Cast Your Cares". It is so lullaby-ey, it makes me want to cry and fall asleep all at the same time! That's a good thing, ha!
The second project was adding more background vocals to "Colton's Song". Once we figured it out, that was very simple and so fast.
The third project was doing a retake on the guitar line in "Colton's Song". I was napping for that part--the beautiful part of recording in/at home. :)
The timing of this project truly is amazing actually. For starters, I never would've thought I'd have the time or energy to do a project like this while pregnant and then a mom of a young baby. But God has worked it out so beautifully! He's given me energy and tired moments and time to nap! And we've gotten so much done just by working every free Saturday we have!
I feel so blessed with how God works out details that normally would've (and did a little) stressed me out. He is such a good Father!
Our next steps are reviewing and mixing.
Stay tuned! :)
