Dave Cooley keeps his recording space very organized, keeping a flow diagram that he keeps updated as he changes the configuration. He says, "Voice recording is done through an MXL condenser mic, a tube preamp, a Behringer stereo compressor/expander, into a Boss BR-600 eight track recorder. The electric guitars go through a Digitech RP-500 effects processor, into a Peavey Encore 65 which is mic'd, then into a Behringer mixer, through the other half of the compander, through a bunch of pedals, to the BR-600. Acoustics go direct to the same mixer." He adds, "It's really not as complicated as it looks. The clock on the acoustic amp is because I lose track of time while in there."
