The mastering is done!

On Monday morning I received the mastered version of the CD and it's sounding fantastic. The mastering process really gave everything the "glossy finish" that makes it sound professional and complete. The artwork and duplication process will take about 3 working weeks, which makes it look like we'll be releasing the hard copies of the album in the first week of July.

Everything int eh duplication process takes longer than you think it would. I've worked through 4 different revisions of the artwork, tweaking color tones and graphic positioning and other incredibly boring things! It's great to have everything on my end completed - we're just waiting for the box of 1,000 CDs to arrive at the church office...

Here's the front cover!

We decided to make a bold decision and go for a pretty clean design, which I'm a big fan of. After a ton of hours working on this with the brilliant Lyndsey and Bryon (but mostly Lyndsey), we've come up with a package that's going to look amazing when you're holding it in your hands. The album won't be in a plastic CD case but one of those cardboard cases with a CD tray inside and a matte finish on the outside. I've always loved this kind of packaging and remember thinking how awesome it looked on the Foo Fighters
"There is Nothing Left to Lose" album.

Artwork and the pre-master CD should leave today for mastering and duplication!
