Wouldn't that make them the Apples in Mono?

But do you take turns leaning in and out while you're playing? And who's your choreographer?

Actually it makes them Ulysses. As it turns out it was Robert Schneider's other band. (Rob Schneider?..ha thats kind of funny... and it's obviously not THAT Rob Schneider)

"So when it came time to do this record, I had a completely different vision. I’d gone through all these different things. I recorded a record with my band Ulysses that we recorded live with one microphone in a room. … And I had achieved that purity and rawness that at the time I really craved." - Robert Schneider (excerpt from Harmonium interview)

That's pretty accurate - it's exactly what I do with my board. As I do the final mixdown, I have to do it in real time - as the song plays through, I adjust the mixers as the song plays, as well as adding/removing effects that I only wanted at one place in the song. It used to be more difficult for me, but I think the sound is better in the end, although it often takes about 10 tries to get the mix you want.
