Recorded at Austin Signal Studios, Rules & Regulations was tracked entirely live with no additional mixing or mastering. The sound engineers used vintage microphones and first-edition recording equipment in combination with Dolby Atmos to produce a raw yet finished sound. Speaking about the recording process, Ramirez shares, “Knowing all of it had to be live, one-take performances with no overdubs, over a two-day period, kept us on our toes and kept it interesting. What could have been a very stressful and unpleasant couple of days ended up being incredibly inspirational. I never thought I’d record in this way again, but I’m now very interested in seeing if I could pull this off on a bigger scale.”
