... and have been putting together a studio. I am having to learn a lot and put it together with no money, but even with no money, it's still cheaper this way than hiring out. Most of the equipment we already have, but some studio specific stuff like headphones and headphone wiring are necessary purchases. I'm hoping to get some of our songs recorded in a far better fashion than what we have been getting.
Have been having a ball listening to the teardrops close miked. Will get some sounds up here when I have something.

Not the first time I've tripped up over terms.
