Recording Process In Pictures

 Hey Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday! Thank you for stopping by to visit with us.

Mom and I traveled to Hendersonville, Tennessee, earlier this month. We were there for two days. The objective for the trip was to record a new music album. 

Ben Isaacs has been encouraging us to record in his studio. He felt it was a step we needed to take now. 

We started prepping the song list several months ago. We finalized it in mid-May. Then we were waiting for Ben. 

When he contacted Mom at the beginning of June, he said, “How soon can you record?” Our options were to record the next week or wait two months. Six days later, we were in the studio. 

I wrote about the recording here, here and here. We had a great time in the studio with Ben. 

Ben, we can not thank you enough for your help, encouragement and expertise! We would not be doing the recording without you. Thank you for believing in us! We love you so much!

Our part of the recording is done. As I mentioned previously, the band on tracking Day consisted of my mom, Kelly Jo, on Piano, Brandon Taulbee on bass and Greg Ritchie on drums and percussion. Ben Isaacs is the producer; he also engineered the vocals. Marcus Hyatt engineered on tracking Day.

Now, Ben has been working with a few more musicians to add some other instruments. Then the other vocals will be added.

We are anxious to hear the finished product and share it with you. I hope we have the project back by this fall. Pray we can finish all the behind-the-scenes stuff in a timely manner.

Mom and I tried our best to get pictures while recording. It was hard to get all of them that we would have liked because we were both just a little busy. I have shared a handful of these on the vocal and tracking posts. Today, let's put them all in one place.

Tracking Day

Lunch with the crew at Meyer’s Front Porch.

Vocal Day

Ben introduced us to Sam’s Place. Best chicken wings ever! I dream about them, they were so good. The wings had a dry rub seasoning and grilled. AMAZING!

Our vocal controls in the booth were labeled with Ben's nicknames for us!😂

That wraps up the pictures from this recording project. I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into the process!

Thanks for reading!
