I really wanted to put something random here and describe something, so I'll describe my recording. I use no special equipment WHATSOEVER. I just use the sound recorder in Windows XP or Windows 2000 Pro (or try with 2000 at least), my noise-cancellation headset, and keyboards. My friends sometimes come and help. For example, my "Ode to Joy", I had to have 3 friends come over and help. Other than that, it's mostly just me. RARELY I have to run some background stuff if I do it alone. I'm going to try recording Spring later today. I'll post it if i can.
EDIT: Scratch that. Spring is too short.
