These were all composed and recorded at different times in my life, in different places, in different circumstances. 

+ "Black Hole" was recorded in high school [2006], using a human playing a real acoustic drumset and a shitload of Shure (mostly) mics going into an analog Behringer UB2442FX mixer, everything mixed pre-recording with 2 master outs into a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 line-in port. The software/DAW was MAGIX Samplitude V8. The guitars went through a Line6 FloorPOD XT which is the only Line6 product that sounds decent. I did not own said FloorPOD XT; it belonged to the drummer's sister. The Bass was also direct in to the soundcard with no processing.
 
--> Everything after this point was recorded into Cockos REAPER because the license was only 60$ USD (and still is at the time of this writing) for a full-featured DAW. I use it to this day because it is downright fucking awesome.

+ "Stay Close" was recorded in Florida with a short-lived band called "Duel Reflex" [2012]. The Facebook page may or may not still exist in cyberspace. We had 200 or so "likes" in our one month of existence. The drums were programmed using Superior Drummer 2.0 and I had no idea what I was doing so it sounds "fake". The guitars went through a DigiTech RP150 which sounds like absolute garbage but it was cheap and I couldn't afford a FloorPOD XT at the time. 

+ "Feudalized" was also recorded in Florida with the same tools.

+ "Psychohistory" was recorded in State College/Penn State [2014], "Bushido" was recorded in State College but also North Carolina [2018-2019]. The drums were programmed using MANDA Audio MT Power Drum Kit 2. The guitars went into a Roland Duo-Capture EX and were processed using Native Instruments Guitar Rig 4 and one or two other free VSTs.

+ "Event Horizon" was started...well, I don't remember when I did that. But I made some edits to it last week (March 2021) and gave it the current name.
