I didn't do anything especially heavy-duty on this. Anton's tracks sounded really good to start with. A little EQ here and there, depending on the track, using FabFilter's dynamic EQ. Just minor tweaks to taste. Reverb from the Bricasti M7. Raised everything to CD level using DMGAudio's Limitless multi-band compressor, adding just a touch of limiting/compression along the way. Trimmed heads and faded tails as needed, and adjusted the final track levels to flow from one tune to the next. All just pretty standard stuff. Anton and I went back and forth a few times on the amount of reverb - more? less? When the raw tracks sound great to start with, you mostly just don't want to mess them up!

I would occasionally have to stop recording due to outside noise.
The norm for home recording. I swear the local gardeners have an alert on their phones for when I press the record button to "start your leaf blowers".
