Editing with Sue Westendorf

Today Dan spent a couple of hours editing some recorded tracks with organist, Sue Westendorf.

Sue has literaly played for everyone in the valley, and while we usualy hear her as an accompanist today she shined as a solo performer on some amazing works. Her goal is to simply have a product for thoes interested in what she can do. And trust me, she can do it all.

The best part is we were not editing to fix mistates, we were simply editing to remove the sounds of page turns :) Ya, she is that good.

Dance Competition

This evening Dan was at All About Dances studio in Scottsdale, Arizona editing a track for an upcomming dance competition for their Junior Company group.

Dance season begins

Today Da nwas on-location at All About Dance working with instructors Tiffany and natalie editing songs for their upcomming dance competition and ultimatly their anual dance production.

Scott Youngs day 2

Today Scott Youngs was back working with Dan as they finished putting together his recording fo the Goldberg Variations. 30 variations and 3 Arias in total will complete the material for this CD project.

We will probbaly have one more session that will involve determining the time between each variation. This is as much an artistic statement as the performing itself.

Editing Arizona School for the Arts

Today Dan spent a couple of hours editing with Craig Westendorf from the Arizona School for the Arts. In all, 8 tracks were edited and 2 were able to be used without any modification for a total of 10 tracks for the Mixed Choirs Upcomming CD.

Today’s material came from last Fridays session where Mike captured their Mixed choir.

Editing for All About Dance

Today Dan spent the evening working with several instructors from All About Dance, preparing music for the upcomming competitions and their anual dance recital.

Editing with Craig Westendorf

This evening Dan spent some time with Dr. Craig Westendorf, choral director for Arizona School for the Arts editing material from last fridays recordign session.

The editing went about as smooth as it could go. Craig was well prepared, and his accompanist Sue Westendorf is extremely consistent.

We edited 5 tracks for an upcoming CD.

Editing with Scott Youngs

Today Dan and and the All Saints Choir Director Scott Youngs spent a couple of hours editing the recording sessions from the past 2 weekends.

Fortunatly, Scott is a pro when it comes to recording. He knows what he needs to get, when he needs to get it and how to get it. By the end of the sessions, we were as confused as anyone as to how it would come out. Today, Scotts talents shined through as everything fell neatly in to place.

We edited 9 tracks, with a 10th track that required no editing.

Tomorrow, Scott will take the editing tracks to Dave Shirk as Sonorous Mastering, and from there it will go to duplication for a holiday release.
