╟►SPLIT SCREEN COVERS

https://dreamtheatercover.com

The idea behind the project is to collaborate online to record these covers.

Although some good friends of mine form the core of the project, the band won't necessarily be the same for every song. We will probably have guests from around the world participating, mostly on vocals though, at our discretion.

How does it work?

Each guy in the band records their parts (audio tracks and video) at home or at a local studio and sends them to me.

I then put the audio together and mix it. This has been a great exercise for me (mixing). I learn the concept behind the sound of my favorite albums and try a whole bunch of cool techniques attempting to replicate it closely.

I AB my mix with the original song but don't get too crazy about it. It's difficult to get the sound exactly right due to a number of variables. When I get it close enough I stop comparing the two and just get it to sound good (hopefully) from there.

When the final stereo audio track is done I take it to a video editing software and sync everyone's videos to it. After a bit of editing and level/color correction it's ready for YouTube. :)

On this first project we have a very special guest from Venezuela on vocals. José 'Chego' Cabrices is a stand-up guy. After contact through youtube he had his tracks sent in in no time. I think he has an awesome voice and great feel for the song! Looking forward to doing more songs with Chego. Thanks man!!
