Co-Produced, Engineered (Recording, Mixing, and Mastering) Jennifer’s Debut CD, “Past Lives,” at my Recording Studio, “Takeoff Terminal Studios,” in Austin, Texas.

We recorded all 10 songs over a 2-day period at my recording studio. No overdubs with additional musicians (Jennifer was adamant about being able to reproduce the songs LIVE with 3 musicians, drums, bass and guitar).

Vocals were recorded over the next few weeks, and mixing/mastering was done over the next month.

This was a very satisfying experience for me, as recording LIVE Blues is/was NOT my specialty (I’m more of an Urban Pop/Hip Hop, Funk Producer/Arranger) but I enjoyed the challenge and brought a NEW perspective to the project (at least that’s what they told me…)
