Beach Baptism

Update w/ Paul Deanno NBC6 from Flamingo Road Church on Vimeo.

We just had our beach baptism today and it was great. The weather was perfect, we had nice cloud cover to block the sun and we just caught the rain as we were leaving. We baptized 291 people today, that brings our total to 1377 people we baptized this year. That is truly amazing to be apart of this. I was helping out with the video team, so that allowed for me see a lot people to get baptized. It was really awesome to see my people from Doral baptizing; David L, David A, my dad, and Allen. For those of you who did not come out, I strongly encourage you go to the next beach baptism. Anyways, check out this promo we did with Paul Deanno NBC 6 for beach baptism.

Recording with David

My sister ask me if I could record a song for a video that is being made to honor her boss. They wanted a song to be recorded in order to avoid copy rights of someone else's song.  So my sister Vicky has been bugging me on when I was going to record the song. Finally, this last Wednesday I went to Vicky and David house to record the song. I was going to be recording David's vocals, and guitars. The song they chose was: The Road and The Radio by Kenny Chesney. Of course we changed the song to make it different.  As I was walking into the house, I hear a guitar string popped. Of course David was mad because he had to go to guitar center to buy new strings. When David got back, I begin to setup while David restrings his guitar. So I was trying to figure out where to record vocals, because you usually record in a room with dead sound.  I thought maybe we could try his bathroom. See the cables running to the bathroom in the picture below.Now, I have all my equipment ready for recording. We first needed to record the guitar so David has something to sing along with. You always record your instruments first before you do vocals. Before I continue, let me tell you what I used for the session. I ran Pro Tools LE 7.4 off my MacBook pro, had a 2 channel Mbox as my audio interface, and Shure KSM27 for my vocals. Thats enough technical jargon.  So we finished with the Guitars, and now for vocals. Now, I needed to check how the vocals sounded in the Bathroom. It did not sound to good, so David had an idea to put a comforter over is head to absorb the sound.  It actually sounded much better, i figure I could EQ his vocals when I edit the track. After a few takes and punch ins, we got the track finished. Poor David, he was sweating under that comforter. 

          Overall, it was a fun night. Now I need to finish editing and give the song to my sister.

McCain Palin or Obama Biden

So who is it going to be?????

John Mayer

For those of you who had the opportunity to go to the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, saw an amazing concert last night. Onerepublic open up the concert and I was happy to hear three songs I wanted hear from them.  Stop and Stare!!! LOL!  John Mayer came out at 9:00 and he played a 2 hour set. Let me tell, he just has a fun time jamming. I could have gone another hour or 2 just listening him play. Now, I was sitting from the lawn and it sounded awesome. Lights were just phenomenal!! They had several light trusses on motors in which they would move up and down as the concert went on. If you ever have chance to see john mayer live, go see him.
