I don't know what the compression was because a friend was doing it. He knows what he's doing, I was impressed. He also had a pretty sophisticated home studio. A small fortune involved.

Reason I asked about the quality is because it sounded pretty good to me for us doing it locally.

Point being, if it sounds pretty good, it would give me an idea of what to do next. If it's pretty close to being acceptable for an indie recording, I could go this route (except we'd take far more time and do more tracks) for doing a CD. If it stinks, I'll have to do what I want to do anyway, which is go to Nashville. I have a producer friend up there. It would cost a few grand. I am positive he would give me the quality I want because I know the work he does and the quality of musicians he uses but a few grand is like a million right now.
