Just curious because I like music production technical details -- is Bob St. John mastering, or mastering/engineering/producing? Either way, very cool, good stuff...definitely getting those stems...if for no other reason because I love hardcore closeups of guitar-work. I once was at soundcheck for Leaves' Eyes -- and don't get me wrong, they sound great mixed, but I was drooling over how good the guitars and bass sounded when they were working on those.
Hey man,
Bob worked on the mixing and the mastering. I had a buddy of mine in Brooklyn named Jorge André Rivera do the MIDI programming, cause the dude is a whiz in that area.
Everything else I did. Dealing with a band is so damned difficult, and finding people dedicated enough to practice at least 3 times a week is almost impossible. Honestly, had I waited for other people in order to complete this first album, it would have never had come out. That's why I decided to just to do it all myself.
And I totally get you on that stem subject. I wish I had all of Images and Words in stems, and In Absentia as well. That would be amazing.
