recorded in a wisconsin warehouse in the middle of summer, mixed at my house in oakland.

thanks to WW for letting me press space bar & thank you @mysteryroommastering.com for putting the transients exactly where i like 'em

"you're mixing a song for a band. there is a stick click inside the last drum fill. nobody mentioned it. do you remove the click, or do you leave the performance as it is?"

Hold banjo ( round part ) in front of your face, maybe 3 - 6 inches away.

Mic goes on the other side, maybe 3 inches away? Dynamic mic might work best.

Sing!

i have a long running studio game of "everyone name their least favorite instrument". super fun when someone says something that another band member is tracking.

I've heard some pretty cool banjo + FX overdubs over the years! also using it as a reverb....
