ANECDOTE

Instant Spark for "Alive"

The song "Alive" began with an instant reaction to a guitar riff Zach played to Bakar in the studio.
Bakar recorded the chorus immediately and wrote the verse later at home, feeling it was one of his best writings.

INSIGHT

DI Guitars Boost Urgency

DI guitars contribute to a feeling of urgency and immediacy in the music.
Zach rarely mics up guitars to preserve the raw, quick, and fresh vibe during recording.

ADVICE

Don't Bounce Special Recordings

Avoid immediately bouncing special recordings to retain their unique vibe.
Not bouncing means not taking a recording away on your phone, helping keep its freshness intact.
