PJH Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 In 2003 my band, Off the Edge recorded our fifth album entitled Site Under Construction. The album was released on cd in 2004. The album was recorded in my tiny home studio at the time which didn’t allow us to use live drums All the drum sequences were programmed. Originally the album was recorded in Adobe Audition but I transferred the files into Cakewalk by Bandlab and remixed everything. Next year will be the 20th anniversary of the recording of this album and I decided to revisit the original multi tracks and replace the drum sequences with live performances. My good friend Larry Rose will be re recording all the drums for the album which will then be remixed and remastered. The difference has been remarkable. As much as programmed drums have their uses, one just cannot beat the real thing. The first song entitled “Taking it to Extremes” has been completed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I like the interplay between the Hammond and the guitar solos. I was expecting a little more proggy from the intro, but very pleasing to listen to and well recorded and mixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Wow, really good sounding track! Drums are great but I really dig the guitars, super tight. Hooky song too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly if you happen to have a 'Larry' at the other end of the sticks ? Sounding great as ever Peter - enjoyed the listen. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyjx Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) That sounds REALLY good from an engineering perspective! If you threw Deep Purple and Queensryche in blender musically, you may come out with something like this Edited September 14, 2022 by hockeyjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge Purple fan but I've never listened to Queensryche. I think I'll go and check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is just me, but a great brand to be compared to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
