I Pray for Another #1
Good news this week. I just earned my 18th #1 album. CeCe Winans new album "Purified" came out recently and shot straight to #1 on the Gospel albums charts. I mixed the first single, titled "Pray". Congrats to CeCe on another major career success.
I also recently mixed a 5 song live DVD release for CeCe. I don't know when that will hit stores or TV, but I'll let you know. Its really fun to mix music for picture, especially nowadays. Computer technology has gotten so good that you can have the video running live on the computer screen while your mixing on the same computer. I have dual 19 inch flat screens on my mixing rig, so there's plenty of real estate to view everything simultaneously. Back in the day, you had to lock a 3/4 inch video machine to a 2 inch analog 24 track machine via a timecode track. It was slow and took forever to lock, then if you wanted to rewind ten second back and play again, it was a 30 second venture to rewind, let them machines park, then play and wait for the machines to lock. What a pain in the ass. Nowadays, its virtually instantaneous, which is great for creativity, and keeps the flow of mixing.
Spent most of today working on the Edro album. Edro is in town right now and absolutely murdering vocal performances. His writing is really reaching new heights as well. This is gonna be a great album. I'll keep you posted.
The New York AES Convention starts tomorrow morning. I plan to be there bright and early with my Scratch Magazine Press Pass. If your there, say hello.
