For you fellow audio geeks out there, here's a bit of technical information about the production process.

-Microphones-

Shure SM81 mics for amp capture and acoustic instrument capture, one AKG-C1000 mic for vocals. Electric guitars/bass were also direct-input via a DI Box to the mixer with a pass-thru to the amp rig.

-Hardware-

Control|24 surface with ProTools|HD - HD Core, a 96 I/O 24-bit/96 kHz 16-track Audio Interface, a rack of Symetric outboard processors and a Tascam digital audio deck.

There were seven tracks for each song, some mono and some in stereo pairs depending on the mic setup. Some used single and multi-band EQ's and various reverb and non-linear reverb processors. All used a uniquely configured compressor for each instrument. The mastering process featured another unique compressor and a final dithering.

About

One of the most pressing yet rewarding experiences in my career has been producing and engineering music for other musicians, one of which asked me to produce a very specific kind of rock music for him. Jordan Nering's disheveled vocals had to compliment the lyrics, and as he was to perform the guitar and bass as well, a significant amount of layering and editing was required on my part. I produced this EP in a limited five day schedule with much satisfaction from myself and from the musician.
