Christian Indie Group Experiences Success With Over-The-Internet Album Collaboration
Posted: October 19, 2014 Filed under: Christian, Now Tracking | Tags: Christian, Gospel, nashville trax, Over The Internet, The Greatest Gift Leave a comment
A Christian vocal trio known as The Greatest Gift decided to do an album of material penned by bandleader Wayne Paterson. Unhappy with previous efforts recorded at studios located in Nashville, New York and Los Angeles he searched for a new studio that could bring the magic he knew existed to his work.
He began sending piano/vocal demos to producer Bill Watson of Nashville Trax in March of 2015 and was ecstatic with the results. With Watson arranging and producing the music tracks, then sending them to The Greatest Gift where they add vocals and mix at a local studio, they have finished the first album, Come Into His Presence, and have nearly completed a second.
The Greatest Gift is also using the mixed and mastered tracks to perform live and even sing to the tracks in Christian songwriting and performance contests. They took first place in the local, regional and state competitions and are scheduled to compete in the national finals in Tennessee this coming spring.
The Greatest Gift is reporting brisk sales at churches and other live concert performances, helping them recoup their investment plus help fund the next CD. They’ve also been able to secure an entertainment lawyer based in Nashville to help them pursue national distribution.

Rhythm tracking sessions have been scheduled for Wednesday December 11th and Monday December 23rd. If you’d like to get a song on either session, please send your MP3 rough to nashtrax@bellsouth.net or your CD to the address on the website.
There’s a three song minimum on these sessions if you wish to be present and watch your song being recorded. No minimum if you just want to get a song on the session.

If you intend to pitch a Christmas song for one of the numerous Christmas projects released each year by movie companies and major label or even independent artists, record now, but aim for Christmas of 2014.

What’s A Good Studio for Recording Christian Music?
Posted: July 9, 2013 Filed under: Christian | Tags: Christian singers, Christian songwriters, free recording studio time, nashville trax, recording Christian material, What's A Good Studio for Recording Christian Music Leave a comment
Record Where Your Beliefs Are Respected
Just because a studio claims to be “Christian” doesn’t mean its the best choice to record your Christian material. It also needs to be a studio with the right commercial gear and reputation.
Consider Nashville Trax At Nashville Trax the owner/producer, singers and musicians who will work on your songs are Christians who understand the process of recording Christian material. Its what we listen to. In fact, most of us, when not touring, play in the worship bands at local churches on Sundays, constantly learning the best of the latest Christian music.
One major benefit here is we have at Nashville Trax combination of session quality Christian musicians you can get nowhere else on the planet.
Most Christian singers or Christian songwriters will benefit from working in a studio where their efforts are respected so they can focus completely on their project.
Nashville Trax does record secular material but Christian and country are the studio favorites. You can’t beat the equipment at Nashville Trax or being surrounded by believers as you record your single, your demo or your full blown CD.
And if you’re doing at least three Christian songs on your project, Nashville Trax automatically gives you up to 8 hours of free recording studio time to help defray or eliminate your travel expenses!

Update On Kerry McFate’s Clarence Lowden Album Project

Songwriter Kerry McFate (left) and producer Bill Watson (right) take a break from mixing songs for Kerry’s Clarence Lowden album.
Kerry McFate will be taking his flight back to New York City tomorrow morning just thrilled with the experience at Nashville Trax and stoked about the way the songs came out.
“Bill, I’m blown away, I can’t thank you and your team enough for taking the songs I brought in, mere kernels really, and growing them into these fabulous recordings!” Kerry exclaimed as we parted.
He’ll be the first to admit he’s not a highly skilled singer technically, but he has a great voice and with do-over punch-ins, plus a little help from software, reverb, delay and EQ, his strong baritone, (which has shades of deep register country singers like Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Cash and Jamey Johnson) sounds just great, even better than he expected. He also played his own Taylor acoustic guitar and those tracks mixed in, no problem.
Fiddle and steel guitar are featured throughout, which Kerry requested when we first discussed the project, and sound super, thanks to the contributions of my favorite calls on both of those instruments, Wanda Vick on fiddle and Mike Douchette on pedal steel.
The mixes are finished on all three songs, which Kerry intends to release on CD under his fictitious Clarence Lowden name.
Kerry has the stereo mix .wav files as well as the (Pro Tools) session files on his hard drive. That’s actually the 8th or 9th copy of all files on 4 different drives because at Nashville Trax we meticulously back up on external hard drives in rotation at each stage of the recording process: After each song is tracked, after each overdub musician or singer completes their parts, and of course, after the final mix.
With these first few tunes I think we were able to define a direction and create a unique sound for Kerry that can be explored even further as the album is completed- b.e. watson
