...I appreciate that.

We're using Cakewalk Sonar for all of our recording.

The guitarist/vocalist and I both record our parts in our own studios. I have a computer dedicated to only recording my drums, got it custom made from a place in L.A. called PC Audio Labs.

I use a 1960s Camco drum kit I got from (the late) Dewey Martin of Buffalo Springfield, and/or a Roland TD-20X electronic drum kit.

I record my parts and email the wav files to A.J., the guitarist/vocalist (he actually played all of the instruments on the CD, with the exception of the drums and percussion).

...it's nice to hear some positive feedback every now and again, after 30+ years of recording and releasing independent music.

I just wish I had the energy levels I had back then!
