Recording and editing of "Golf's Higher Plane" by Bob Fagan
Posted: 12/01/09

Recording and editing for an audio book is a entirely different world than working on music projects. I love it! The book is called "Golf's Higher Plane", by Bob Fagan. It is inspired by the book "The Secret".  I spent several days working with Bob and Ginnie Waters at Zone Recording, recording all the voice over. I believe the final word count was over 42,000! Then I spent several days editing the voice over to produce the final copy. It has been a very enjoyable book to work on.
