How I did it
It made me
fulfilled.....tired 
How I did it: I just had to do it. It was my friend's birthday and he wanted to watch star wars and we decided it would be awesome to watch all of them in one night. So we just did it.We knew we couldn't start any later than 7pm so we cold get to school on time. But we couldn't find a copy of Episode II so we had to go rent it and we didn't end up gettin started until 8:10. So half way through the night we realized we wouldn't be able to finish in time… Read how I did it…
It made me
refreshed
How I did it: This was without a doubt the best summer of my life. The most outstanding feature was the connection I made with my friend Kevin. He had been attending our student ministry for a few months and we met over Skype. There was an instant connection and I knew that I wanted to pour my life into this kid. As soon as I got home we started hanging out and eventually he gave his life to the Lord. We started talking about what that really means and… Read how I did it…

Today we record our live album! Lot’s of set-up today. We ran all the lines yesterday (both snakes and 16 channels) Also EQed the room yesterday. Today we need place all the mics and do a full run-through an test the recording.
I’m super pumped to run live sound tonight because every instrument is completely isolated so there’s literally no stage-noise. So I got my work cut out for me making it sounds great.
So after tonight, post-production begins! My friend Andrew Justus is going to be doing almost all the post stuff but ill be sittin in with him as much as I can. Logic is really a simple program. People said the new interface is hard to learn but its really not. If you just memorize the shortcuts its super easy! Maybe because I’ve worked with FLstudio before it seems easier. FruityLoops was super confusing at first but a friend helped me find my way around that and now I love it. I actually hate GarageBand because FL is so awesome! I’m thinking I want to find a copy of windows to run on my Mac so I can have it on here. I would definitely make more music then.
I’m also thinking of trying to get a summer job being an engineers assistant at a local recording studio. I’d love to get into studio recording more and eventually invest in enough equipment to be able to do it myself.
So alot of great opportunities have come my way. The Lord is great.

Sweet digital-mixing action!!! We got our new sound board in last week. The Lord granted us favor and gave it to us for $800 less than the list price AND showed us the only dealer in MILE and MILES who had one in stock. It was in Wisconsin but WELL worth the 2 hour drive. I stayed up late on Thursday so I could learn it so I could use it on Friday for all our services. It’s seriously the most user-friendly digital board I’ve ever seen. Not that I’ve seen a whole bunch. Allow me to list some the parameters that make this thing amazing,that you probably wont understand.
4 subgroups
6 Aux outs
Dual-layer effects
gain control and frequency sweeps for hi, hi-mid, hi-low, and low frequencies
compressors, gates, limiters, expanders for all 16 channels
a master EQ as well as the ability to EQ the aux outs(freakin cool)
and you can save up to 99 scenes and 99 individual channels.
I’m seriously in love with it.
We’re gonna start practices for recording and doing some test runs in the next few weeks.
I’m super pumped
