Cub recorded "Betti"-"Cola" primarily with microphones and a Digital Audio Tape machine. It is then run through an echo unit before being recorded onto a tape machine. A cassette deck is a type of tape machine for playing and recording audio cassettes. Taking the Ampex tape machine with them, they continued recording songs. The control desk was faulty and there was only one tape machine, a Studer 8-track. They recorded their songs on a four-track tape machine that belonged to Vail's father. At one stage, every tape machine in the studio had to be used for mixing.
