I recorded this using a shitload of plug ins:
Drums i hooked up the drummer from an electric kit then used Superior Drummer 2 sounds
Guitars a Digitech GSP1101 taking out it's amb simulator and replacing it with impulse responses
Bass used the Ampeg plug in again with impulse responses
All electro and choir sounds were either pro tools plug ins or Eastwest choirs/synths used a lot of compression/eq's on this.
Acoustic Guitars were done via a RODE condenser mic closed up. You can hear the acoustic sounds on the song First Contact for the intro.
No vocals have been recorded atm as we are currently looking for a singer.
Basically just did a shitload of Compression and EQ on everything to make it pop out.
You can hear the songs at our myspace:
