Welcome to the Saddle Rock Bonus Episode! (If you haven’t listened to Episode 1 of this podcast, you may want to do that first, since we talk about how we made the episode here.)

Jon and Paulina talk about recording the music for Episode 1 of this podcast: 

• How to play drums when you’re not a drummer (step 1: never think about how awesome you sound)
• Using VST (virtual) instruments, and why Mellotron presets sound like new money
• Why they did not put Wurlitzer electronic piano on every single song even though they kind of wanted to

Also! How to tell if you’re micing a speaker and not a shelf(?), on writing happy music instead of sad music, and a preview of Episode 2: Sands Point!
