This album contains our most juvenile, and nothing short of dedicated, attempts at recording music.  We started out on a little tape track recorder, but eventually were able to use a proper mixer.

Each song started with recording the song played by Fus and JP with Jacob, our drummer, only playing along as a 4 count metronome.  Once a solid backing track was recorded, then we would mic the drum kit and record the drums while he listened to just the guitar, bass and metronom.  The solution to almost all mistakes was to rerecord the drums, so it was essential we got a good solid take.  We were able to modify some drums and mix and match tracks using audacity, but this was the main method used for the most part.

The bass or guitar was recorded next, with the order of who records fist being dependent on which part was easier to play without the other track for the song. Going in through our tiny little mixer and out into the computer using Logic was the best method we found.  Unfortunately, it was not a very powerful mixer and we were not able to run out of an amp.  This resulted in the bass not being as bassy and the guitar lacking the "punch" on certain songs.

When coming up with a song, we would just jam about and piece together what we thought sounded good.  There was really no structure to our song writing. If it sounded good with the last part, then it would fit.  Later songs like Jamfest, Reasons, and Space and Time were recorded with actual ideas in mind, but our main method was basically just to jam songs out.  Jonathan would freestyle along as we played to give him ideas for his lyrics and vocals.  Vocals were recorded in the same manner as guitar and bass, only after everything else was complete.

This was all done in Jacob's room with the little equipment we had.  Easily not the best sounding tracks but I feel to know what we did to record these and understand that we never even played a single show under this band, gives these songs more meaning.  Our goal was for people to enjoy our music, which we never got around to actually doing except for the tedious process of recording these songs.
