today (well, actually saturday, the 10th) was the first day in the recording studio for the One AChord cd. a lot of fun. only recorded 4 songs and only recorded the piano part. was kinda nerve-racking. i was nervous playing parts i can usually play without much effort. the cool thing was that jim the sound guy could edit the midi files easily. he would play the recording back to me and i would tell him when i wanted to change the note or add a chord. all i had to do was play that single note. way cool. would be great to have that kind of program and set up to goof around with. fun, fun, fun! i wonder if a synthesizer could do the same kind of stuff. probably not as precise. it was pretty exciting today. got to the studio at 11am. we talked for a bit, asking jim questions about the cd. then recorded for an hour and a half. went to lunch. got back to the studio at 2:30pm to edit the recording that we had made. jim played around with the tempo to create a grid for the guys to use when they sing. left the studio at 4:45pm. lots of fun! kinda neat that my piano accompaniment is made into a soundtrack that the guys will sing to. and even though i played on a keyboard and it was recorded into the computer, the sound was so full... as if i was playing a baby grand. whoa. today the guys decided to sing "it is well with my soul" for the cd. i'm excited about that. it'll be a great addition to the cd. i'm looking forward to working with them on it.
