What I Did Wrong
Tag: Scarlet 2i2
Healing Heart
I just finished another recording for the Lost and Found album, a song called “Healing Heart.” (Download the mp3)
Look within your own heart
There is always another open part
This burden, can you forgive?
Oh, please forgive!

Can I open another broken part?
This burden, I will forgive
I will forgive!
Oh, pray for me and my healing heart

When it arrived we recorded our song and sent it out to our family and friends. The Scarlett 2i2 performed like a champ, and I was pleased with the sound quality of its input. Here is our recording:
