don&#8217;t remember too much about the first time we recorded at Rax Trax. I remember meeting the owner but I don&#8217;t remember his name. Williams had much more contact with him cuz he had to go back to burn Dat to CD every time we recorded at DNA. Rick maybe? I&#8217;m not sure his name.<\/i>Anyways, we used studio B which was smaller. It was real late. Our headphones didn&#8217;t work too well. And I hate wearing the headphones when I play anyways. The songs all came out pretty decent. I don&#8217;t even think we smoked weed or drank during this session. It was all work, no fun, no play. Andy set everything up. I don&#8217;t even remember if we used our own amps. Sorry, I don&#8217;t have too much info on this session in my head. Not too many memories came out of it. I remember Williams gave his original copy of this session to Rocky Suba. Thats about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;hilger<\/p>\n<p>I was going to Columbia College Chicago for sound engineering at the time we wrote this album. The only real friend I made in college got an internship real fast at Rax Trax. We came in real late one night and did 4 songs. We did 3 covers and an original version of &#8216;Mr. Pig&#8217; that came out really bad. We actually recorded this session on huge 1&#8243; tape. We came back later and recorded the whole album in one night in Pro Tools. We played the whole thing live with no overdubs and even brought our PA and mic&#8217;d it. We wanted it to sound as raw as possible. We were there until the sun came up. I remember coming home and my dad was sitting up watching TV at like 8am. I returned a 3rd time laying down more guitar tracks for Mr. Pig which me and Andy produced all semester long in a class we had together at school. Mr. Pig was not recorded &#8216;live&#8217; like the other tracks and came out really nice.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 1999 &#8220;The Process of Elimination&#8221; Recorded at Rax Trax Studio, Chicago Engineered by Andy Pollina &nbsp; I don&#8217;t remember too much about the first time we recorded at Rax Trax.
