• Recording notes:

House Sound Engineer (Nissi's): Adam Fadenrecht
Recording Engineer: Jason Cameron, Phantom Radio [ Z99@inbox.com ]
Immoral Support: DJ I.G.

Recorded with two Behringer C2 microphones in “XY” configuration positioned right in front of the mixing booth. 44.1khz, 16bit.
There was some anomaly in the mixer… while tracks were recorded as “Left” and “Right”, the Level knob for channel 1 seemed to affect channel 2… I really can't explain what the hell was going on, but I had good signal strength on both tracks, so I just went with it.
Upon listening back, there seemed to be a bit of phase cancellation. With minor adjustments to the level and pan settings, this phase cancellation seemed to improve dramatically.

• Post Production:

EQ:
    Boosted 100Hz 4.6db, .Q=.58
    Boosted 8729.7Hz 4.4db, Q=2.5703 (For vocal clarity)
    Boosted 3951Hz 6.3db, shelving

Mild compressor to boost overall volume.

Each song “normalized” to maximize volume (“normalized” by analyzing each track and boosting the master volume to the optimal level).
