The Song:

"Play The Game Tonight” is a song written and produced by Phil Ehart, Danny Flower, Rob Frazier, Kerry Livgren, and Rich Williams recorded by Kansas for their 1982 album Vinyl Confessions at Chateau Recorders, North Hollywood, California. Produced by Ken Scott and released May of 1982 on Kirshner, Legacy/Epic Records.

"Play The Game Tonight” is written in the key of Dm and typical with Kansas is a progressive rock tune highlighting new lead singer John Elephante. I was a big Kansas fan and got to see them multiple times with Steve Walsh and John Elephante, both were great. I loved Kerry Livgren’s guitar work as well as the Midwest rooted progressive rock sound that Kansas made popular in the 70’s. I didn't play Robbie Steinhardt's violin parts here as watching the video Kerry is playing keys on this and leaving guitar to Rich Williams.

The Video:

The process of final product you are seeing is as follows: I import the original track from iTunes into PreSonus Studio One, tempo map it in PreSonus Studio One, and record all the guitar part as close as I can get them to the original track.

I then buss the guitars to an effects track where I use a send for reverb. On the master I have a limiter, compression and EQ and I usually master in the same workspace. All the guitars are recorded through a Fractal Audio AXE FX III, I generally use the standard Fractal presets and tweak them a bit.
I record the video on my iPhone (with the lesser quality audio), import the video onto my MAC where I use DaVinci Resolve to edit the video and replace the iPhone audio with the studio quality audio from PreSonus Studio One.

The Equipment:

I recorded this track using a 2010 Paul Reed Smith Custom 24, 25th Anniversary, Scarlett Red, no modifications, this is a stock PRS Custom 24. I played all guitars directly into to a Fractal Audio FXIII and then into PreSonus Studio One.
