- What's up guys I'm KJ.
- I'm Hart.
- And we are here at Hipposonic Studios recording our album.
And we want to say a special thanks to Fender
(cheering)
like all the guitars.
- Billy Siegle
- Billy Siegle, you're a legend.
Thank you Fender for the support, we appreciate you.
- Come on in. We'll show you where we record.
- This is the concierge.
- Let's make our way right into the console.
This is where we spend a lot of the time.
You have in an SSL 4k console.
Works pretty nice.
Got some pretty good knobs on this thing too.
- Here's a bunch of racks.
- Ah, you know, guitar input effect thing.
Um, really good piece of equipment.
And when Hart's playing, this is the best button to use.
Just cancel.
- Just to end it.
- Just to end whatever's happening.
- Two fender amps.
(whip crack)
We're predominantly been using
this deluxe reverb amp by Fender.
(cheering)
- Um, bunch of different knobs over here.
Volume.
(jazzy guitar melody)
(sigh)
- [Karl] That's the winner man.
I think let's just do that one.
- Yeah, I agree.
- [Hart] Here's what I do vocals.
- [KJ] And he's not allowed out until he gets it perfect.
(chuckle)
Leave him there to rot.
- [Cameraman] Sometimes we'll just leave him overnight.
Hart.
(guitar riff then beep)
(beep)
- Area (beep) where you can beat that out later.
Coming up, just doesn't give us our right tone. Boom!
- Give me the right tone!
(soft music)
- [Cameraman] Forgot the lyrics?
(fake fart sounds)
(outdoor ambience)
- [Karl] I haven't really listened to yet, to be honest
in the context, trying to run the tape machine and get
I just want to get you guys rolling
and then we'll figure it out. Is that okay?
(upbeat music)
- [Karl] I think this console is worth 200 grand.
When we first started.
(music continues and intensifies)
(guitar solo)
(piano playing)
[Karl] (inaudible) You guys shoulda hold chopping
You've got to hold your chords. You go...
(mimic guitar sound)
- [Man Off Camera] What are you doing?
- Setting up our pedals
(guitar riff)
(strum and reverb)
(quiet clicking)
(Guitar)
(Drums)
(Guitar and drums)
- Okay. What do we do now then?
Track something.
I'm going to try to guitars while you do drums.
Are you happy?
- [Producer] I could probably use that and a few more.
- I could use a few more, too. But I'd like to go in there
and just have a listen to that guitar tone.
I might need you to help me with that guitar tone.
- Might?
(laughter)
(Guitar note)
[KJ]. Okay.
(Guitar rift)
- [Man Off Camera] I think they left didn't they?
(upbeat music)

Guitar input.
Um you know, some people know that you,

people know that you play guitar.
Which is a nice thing for me. When I'm out and about.
Um.
This is Fender too.
