We went to Giulio Favero's studio (he plays in Teatro Degli Orrori by the way) near Padova-Italy, the recording room was big enough to let us playing all together with really unbearable volume. He put some mics where he knew was best, we played our 4 songs the whole afternoon and that's it. At 7 o clock the game was over, we just needed to come back the day after to tape the voices.
The tape machine is quite big and a lovely groovy vintage sight:
On the 2nd day we recorded the voices, the most in the morning cause later we started to draft the mix, the hardest part. Giulio is super cool and he really got our sound concepts at once. The way he did the mix is kinda hard to explain, he played the tapes mixing levels and effects live, as an instrument trough effects pedals. We played in the big room every track trough amps and speakers to catch and manage a real, natural reverb. Really, that turned us on, was awesome. We did this mixing process in a hurry cause our deadline was 3 days, next time we'll surely spend more time on it.
I'm personally very satisfied on how we taped the voices and about the results (but also because Giulio gave me the chance to record the guitar with an original 76' English Orange speaker ahahaha).
The week after Paolo and Andrea went to bips studio in Milan with Maurizio Giannotti (that dude was in Afterhours i guess) and made the analog mastering, i don't know that much about it, i just know Maurizio gave us a discount cause those broke asses didn't have enough money for the gas to come back home, that's true.
Caterina Pecoraro took those lovely pics of our days in Padova, there you go some:
