During the recording of the digital masters and the subsequent transfer to disc, the entire audio chain was transformerless. The signal was not passed through any processing device (i.e., compression, limiting, or equalization) at any step during production.

Special thanks to Joseph Chilorio, Mechanics Hall Productions, and Soundmirror, Inc (and Barbara Pease, keyboard technician).
