TECH NOTES:
Four years in the making, this once again hand-made album was produced, recorded,
and mastered by the band at C.O.G.'s own studio / rehearsal lab in Harahan,
Louisiana. A hard disk recording, it was made using Cakewalk 9 and Cooledit
95, with sound cards by Lexicon and Creative. During tracking, we used an analog
Mackie mixer, and mics by ElectroVoice, AKG, and Shure. using Cakewalk 9's inline
FX processing, we were able to keep the track count below 35 (see if you can
hear which ones we got most carried away on.) Guest musicians were once again
recruited to star on several cuts. Once the album was finished, we took two
months to record and mix the sketches, which were representative of the comedy
material we were presenting onstage at the time.
This album is a sonic marvel. The C.O.G. has never sounded
better.
