      Rasyid Agam yeah I think it’s easy to see through the jokes if you already know all of this, but someone confused only got the idea that they need mics and a full range speaker. That’s just enough to get started but doesn’t give anyone the nitty gritty, like recording different band meme era in different spaces in the room other wise the song will sound like everyone was recorded standing inside eachother.
