A few months ago, one of the leaders from GEMS (our church’s girls’ ministry) came to me and asked if I would re-record the song “Your Grace Is Enough” for them in a lower key so they could sing along with it during their meetings.  The problem: They love Chris Tomlin, but he usually sings way too high for them. :)

Anyway, here is the recording.  I certainly wouldn’t have picked this low a key for my voice (it’s not my “happy power range”), but the important thing was that it works for the girls.  The recording was multitracked 1 or 2 tracks at a time using a M-Audio FireWire 410, the free recording software Audacity, and a few relatively cheap mics.  One of these days we’ll get some real recording equipment… but until then, this works.

Many thanks to Josh Gill for the drums.  He rocks, and that’s without rhythm-fixing plugins.   Also thanks to Sharon for the background vocals – it takes her zero seconds to improvise multiple harmony parts, which is pretty cool.   And last but not least, I want to thank my Boss GT-8 pedal for having sweet distortions and amp models.  Heh heh
