“If you want to punch me, that’s fine.” – Mandy Thompson (phrases you hear when recording scratch vocals and talking about punching in and out) Tracking a song with Mandy Thompson today. Fun times. Fred McKinnon pushing the buttons and making us sound good!

Russ Hutto — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:33:09 +0000

Most of you that know me, know that I am heavily involved with the behind the scenes stuff that happens over at The Worship Community. One of the reasons my blog tends to go quiet for weeks at a time is because I’m getting my “blogging” fix taken care of my writing and scheduling content [...]

Hallelujah! I Am Free Please prayerfully consider using this song in your worship repertoire this year! It’d be a great song to end the Lent season with! Trent shares with us how to use it in more of an acoustic (maybe during communion) set up and how it can be medleyed into How He Loves [...]

Gungor: Beautiful Things

Russ Hutto — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:39:15 +0000

This cd released today, February 16, 2010. I was able to get my hands on a copy this past week and to also have my mind blown in the live performance of this cd. A rare experience, I’m told, to actually get to hear this entire musical “journey” live, the attendees of Recreate were mesmerized [...]
