How much of a benefit was the modern production and working with, say, like a Jim Morris?
32:00
I think, you know, it definitely, it helps.
32:03
I mean, the better, the production you can get, the better your record's going to sound.
32:07
That's fairly obvious, I guess.
32:08
But it's tough.
32:10
Even for the guys who are good at producing death metal, getting the bass to pop out, I think, is one of the more difficult parts of the job.
32:18
Because so many of the bass lines are the exact same thing.

Are they considered to you more thrash metal or death metal?
7:51
... sort of from, from mid-Feb through to, through to the last few weeks? How has that been?
7:56
It's been a, a rollercoaster, Tom, I, I would say.
7:59
Especially, I mean, I've got the swap curve in front of me.
8:02
If you look at March, it was up and down just every single, I, I'd say day, but it was even more than that.
8:09
In 15 minutes you could see the swap rates move.
8:11
And so we had to completely change our operation model for that, that period.
8:17
You couldn't price on a monthly basis, which is what we'd normally do, because you wouldn't know what your cost of funding would be from day to day.
12:59
... super prime will take out.
7:49
How was it from your point of view, that period from mid-Feb through to the last few weeks? How has that been?
7:56
It's been a rollercoaster, Tom, I would say, especially, I mean, I've got the swap curve in front of me.
8:02

You couldn't price on a monthly basis, which is what we'd normally do, because you wouldn't know what your cost of funding would be from day to day.
8:24
So we were much more agile.

And the sort of the private bank space, I mean, how would you say that has changed in your time at Coots? And how do you think that is going to evolve going forward?
