I've been meaning to finish up this tune for awhile but decided to wait until I recieved my VF-160 and SP-5B Monitors. When I got to playing around with this I decided I would use both to do the Job. I burned the individual Basic Tracks to the tune to CD and imported them as raw tracks to the VF-160. I then recorded a couple of new guitar tracks and started mixing on the Fostex. I added a bit of "Arena" Reverb to the VOX track and my favorite output compression settings to the Master.

I then mixed a bit more for practice because I wanted to do this the old fashioned way, using faders to control the volume instead of compression to see how it would come out. I went from the Stereo Outs on the back of the VF-160 to the Line In on the puter soundcard. Pulled up Power Tracks 8 and hit Record on the puter and Play on the Fostex and commenced the Mixdown using the Faders on the Fostex and here it is:

The LORD Is http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1526&alid=304&20030224193927#8467 It's the second tune there. The LORD Is Mix5 was my last mix before I got the new toys.

Hey Axe,

By the way, I like your handle. I get it now after looking at the list of your songs posted on NWR.

Christian music is really rocking these days. I like the guitar work in general, particularly at 2:17 which reminds me of a riff Knopfler did once upon a time.

Did you play guitar on this song. It sounds great. The guitar is clean and has soul. I'm impressed.

Keep rockin'

Hey thanks for the listen man! Glad you enjoyed it. I left music in 1980 and didn't even have a guitar when I was called back into it in 2000. Glad ya feel a calling to do it again. When I left, I missed all the stuff from the 80's and 90's and I guess I'm stuck in my 70's roots.

Yeah the music that is being played and recorded by home recorders is really something else man. There is a big underground of people doing amazing things at home. No wonder the record companies are complaining but it's their own fault. :)

The Drums, in fact the whole Basic Rythymn Track of Bass, Drums, and one of the Rythymn Guitars, were recorded live last year. The Drums were sub-mixed using 7 mics if I remember correctly.

The only "Mastering" that took place after the Mixdown described in my post above was Editing out a few seconds at the beginning and end and pumping the Volume up about 5 db using a Peak Limiter in the recording program.

Thanks for the listen and glad you enjoyed it, Bro!

I am having problems with nowhere. Real player wants to keep accessing something from there and one song played once. I did not want the song that played so I clicked another then it never worked again. Nowhere is a suitable name for that page.
