rows of teeth - negative spaces


Negative Spaces Recording Notes:

beacause I only had a 2ch interface, the drums were mic'd with a hadfull of mics plugged into a mixer, the output of the mixer was recorded so drums had to be premixed. lots of compression was used to make up that...

Guitar parts were typically not multi-tracked, but recorded with two amps mic'd for stereo effect
