Recordings

Over the years I have had the opportunity to record some really great artists. Most recordings are done with my 24 track MOTU and sound pretty good. It definitly shows the progression of my ability to mix sound over the years. I believe that since leaving the profession and deciding to record and mix only as a hobby now has helped spark some new insterest in recording my own material.

These are my recordings of the Elation Orchestra when I was working for Carnival Cruise Lines as the Sound Technician on the ship "Elation".  Eric Sande was the Musical Director and Mark Price was the Cruise Director. This is my favorite band over the years. These guys were a lot of fun to work with.

This is one of the karaoke recordings I did with Lorena from the Carnival ship "Pride". She is a great singer and I believe this recording shows her talent well.

This is one of my more recent projects. I wanted to start recording some songs using my guitar POD. On these recordings I play all the instruments.

Fade to Black with solo - 2003.mp3
Instrumental - 2003.mp3
something to believe (pro tools) 2002.mp3 - This is from when Pro Tools released their free version. It was recorded using my computers sound card though, so the quality doesn't reflect on the software well.





This is from August 1999 when a blind friend of mine Kevin Reeves asked me to help him record some songs he had in mind. He had a hard drive based recording system and this was my first real attempt at a high quality recording. It turned out pretty good and really helped push me forward into the recording field. Check out his web site 
www.kevinreeves.net. His newest CD is quite good.
