Just like the past 2 years, we will be releasing a CD of the Sundae Sing choir concert. However this year we are doing things a bit differently. Last year we had to take out a song from the concert for the recording because of bleed through of Mark Bates' voice into other microphones. In order to not have to do that again and to get a better recording of everything, we are recording the songs ahead of time. The concert will go back to being just a concert.
To do that, we have turned the worship center, choir room, and hallways into a recording studio. This way, we can isolate each of the instruments from each other, thus ensuring no bleed thru into other mics. This will get us a much improved recording. To view the pictures, click here.
The only instrument that I could not get away from the choir mics, was the piano. Because of how Pastor Doug and Sherry T. work together, they needed to be "close" to each other. This allows Doug to "feel" her energy along with the choir's.
We had one rehearsal night to set levels and then we recorded the songs with the full band the following night. The next week we recorded two songs that are just choir and piano. We will end up having to re-record the band songs in a couple weeks because of equipment malfunction.
