Recording vocals in the studio

Last weekend we were in the studio laying down some vocals for the forthcoming Christmas album. We did seven classics and one new song. Everything went well and we really had a great time singing the songs!

A good life.

No sweeter place.

The shortest prayer.

I trust you.

You will be alright.

Men only

Praise Unit - men only.

On the road again

Pretty soon we're on the bridge to Denmark. Then a short boat trip and we are in Germany. Almost everyone in the bus is asleep, except for me. And the busdriver Thomas of course. Berlin, here we come!

Mixing The Mission Field

The mixing sessions for the upcoming Praise Unit album has begun. My job is now to make every voice and instrument sound as good as they possibly can. This weekend I've been working on the first song "No better than you", not your typical Praise Unit song. Can't wait to hear your reaction!


This is what the song looks like in my program Pro Tools. Looks great, doesn't it?

Another guest appearance on the Praise Unit CD?

After many phone calls and correspondence, we finally had the pleasure of having a celebrity from Finland visiting our studio. He sang a wonderful tune that we know will fit perfectly on the new Praise Unit CD. It's great to get people from many different cultures involved in "The Mission Field". The Finnish guest star will most definitely be one of the highlights on the CD. Or what do you think?

Recording Vocals

Here are some pictures of us recording vocals for the upcoming Praise Unit CD. Time for us to do our share of the choir recording, in our studio in Örebro. It's nice to hear things starting to come together, we cannot wait to hear the final result!

The live DVD

Last spring Praise Unit was in Germany to make a live DVD. Though we had little time preparing, we put a lot effort in trying to make the best show possible. It was great fun! When we got to the studio to mix the concert, we noticed that something had happened to the recording. The tracks were not in sync with each other, and we experienced some unwanted distortion on some of the instruments. After days of blood, sweat and tears we finally got it all together, luckily!

Unless you already have the DVD - here's a clip from the concert in Germany



"What is this? This is the best three and a half minutes I ever heard on Youtube, but I have no idea who they are."

"These guys are the bomb! They came to my church in Brooklyn and totally raised the roof!"

"i saw them in hannover too... !!!!!! really really great :)i want to buy the dvd :)"

Mission: New CD 2009

We're so excited about the new CD project that we've just entered! Our goal is to release a new CD in the near future, and right now we're busy writing new songs, rehearsing new songs, arranging new songs, recording new songs... can you feel the excitement?

Stay tuned for more info on the project. There will be pictures from the rehearsals, movie clips from the studio, and who knows, maybe we'll even make a competition where you can win drummer Andreas' drumsticks...

Peace
