Notes/Issues/Commentary on Production (Maximum 200 words)

Recorded live, all in the same room. As such could not use vocals due to too much spill. Vocalist
recorded at home – his recordings feature some kind of artifacts and areen’t the best.

They were very relaxed and just wanted to effectively rehearse so only recorded the song once.

Lots of spill in all mics, but add to an overall live sound.

The bass was the most problem, not particularly good playing and levels all over the place.
