2. Raw WAV Stems for "Revelations & Revolutions"
We've given you the raw and untreated WAVs of all the stems that make up "Record", as heard in the studio release. All of the processing, compression and EQ has been removed and this will show you that all that you need to capture at home is a clean take, below 6db, which gives plenty of headroom to give your listeners an enjoyable experience.
It is easy to capture good quality recordings at home, without needing to incur the huge expense of a commercial recording studio. Our four-piece band were all recorded live in the same room, with acoustic treatment using blankets to cover all hard surfaces in order to remove unwanted echoes and background noise. We used a Focusrite 1818 soundcard with 4 x XLR inputs, which we put the drums through, and four line inputs, which guitars, keys, bass & vocals were recorded into.

3. Final Mix WAV Stems for "Revelations & Revolutions"
The Raw WAVs will show you just need to get a clean take, but the Final Mix WAVs will show you the role that Compression & EQ play in the Final Mix stage.
This vital stage prepares a song to be released so that it sounds good on the smallest speakers AND the biggest PA, on digital music platforms AND the radio.
