Hey everyone, how are you John and I are here at the studio
We've been here with for one week and it is going sensational
Everybody is in the one room and we're all interacting with one another and I got to tell you that if the first week is
Any indication of where this album is going?
You're in for a treat.
What do you think?
Yeah, the vibe is really cool
The hang is cool the atmosphere the inspiration.
Yeah, it's been great as
A lot of ideas flowing.
It's already been really productive
Only a weekend.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's cool not to mention just just the style of the music like it's
Which I think a lot of people will stand up and applaud at this point, but you know
There's there's a heaviness to it.
There's an [Am] aggression to it
Yeah, but you you mentioned something earlier [C] when we were talking about this and you said what was it the fire?
The five pillars of DT.
I mean basically, you know, I think everyone's on the same page with it the type of record
This is gonna be I mean so far.
The music is heavy.
It's progressive.
It's melodic
It's shredding.
Mm-hmm, and it's also epic.
So it has all those elements which yeah, they're the five pillars of dream theater
Yeah, if you want to call it that we just called it that there you go.
There you go.
You did
Yeah, you labeled it something now.
Yeah, it's cool
I I think you know everyone if they were all here right now
They all abandoned us the other three guys know but
The whole thing is is that everyone is feeling it and there's such an incredible synergy going on here this
Environment that we're in this particular studio and no we're not revealing to you what studio but it's just it's so
[N] Conducive to what we're trying to attain.
Yeah, you know, that's great
And the cool thing is everybody is contributing where you know, we're fired up with all our gear as a band
So it's a real big live sound we kind of get an idea
When we're writing what things really feel like to play and whether the grooves are powerful or whatever
You know whether it really is hitting us and making the hairs on our arms stand up
And just to give you a little little insight on how we're doing this and what we'll be doing for the next couple of months
We have all the gear set up
all of our live gear and we're basically
Going through this kind of neat little board here.
Mm-hmm that we have said move so you can see yeah
It's a very simple thing.
But you know, all the instruments are pretty much direct
actually the cab clones on the boogie sound unbelievable, but
we only have four mics on the drums and as we complete a
Section or a song even we get it to where we can all play it
It's as hard as it is.
However many takes we have to get and we get like a really solid live
Demo out of it.
And then what we're gonna do is
We're also multi tracking so we'll take that multi track and then we mix that down
So we have a pretty good quality demo and then our engineer will then take that and prep it for
[E] Tracking so he'll prep it for Pro Tools.
And [Eb] so when it's time to [E] track and overdub, we'll be [Ab] all set to do that
So I think that's that's the beauty though is that you know, you're laying it down you're recording it and then we get a reference mix
So we know right away
Is it is it hitting us the same way that it felt when it was going down and then you're able to either you know
Adjust go back
Rethink it or it's great.
You know, we can just move on so it's it's just a it's a very
Positive situation and very productive.
Yeah, exactly.
We're having a lot of fun.
These demos sound really good actually and you know
We're eating a lot of food.
We're hanging out.
We're laughing.
Oh my god.
I think I would go to the gym every day
Yeah, exactly.
We do that and we do but anyway, we just wanted to give you an update update
