Hey,

Here's our latest full band Split-Screen Cover, of the freshly released "On the Backs of Angels" from Dream Theater's upcoming album "On the Backs of Angels".

It's already been seen and commented on by Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater's keyboardist), and also posted on Roadrunner Records | Official home of Slipknot, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Lenny Kravitz, Young the Giant, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Trivium, Megadeth, Dream Theater, and all the best in rock, hard rock, and metal. , which is pretty cool!

Enjoy!

I saw it when JR tweeted it which I though was quite the compliment!

If you ever need a violin to cover The Best of Times, or even add something different to another track like Through her Eyes (my personal favourite), Finally Free, etc, send me a PM I would love to contribute :)

Thiago, it's this video that made me like the song. I didn't really like it much at first when they put it out on YouTube.

Totally forgot to check back on this thread! Sorry!

Thanks for checking it out and for commenting everyone. The feedback with this one has been amazing. It's been up a month today and has over 130.000 hits already, which I believe is a record for me on Youtube. Thank you!

Awesome Thiago... discovered this through a friend, who send me the link. Didn't even know, that you're here as well. Absolutely great job!

I wanna know how you were able to learn it so flawlessly, record all the parts, edit the video and get it on line within like a week of DT releasing it. Impressive to say the least.

All of us are very familiar with playing Dream Theater's music, from learning many of their previous songs, so that helps.
I specifically chose people who I knew were dependable, and everyone did their homework and got me their parts at record breaking times. Then I just had to work extra hard to mix the audio and edit the video. I usually take quite a while to mix a song, but I set a goal for myself to do it in a single day (minus a few tweaks later on, with fresh ears).

What actually took a while was the rendering and upload. I had to re-render 4 times because of syncing issues (not appearant on previews on my less than ideal rig). Uploading took me 3 days because Youtube's uploader would fail randomly. Quite irritating, considering it's a 2-3GB file! At one point it failed at 99% through...

What software do you use for editing video?
