This week my friend César Zolhof, drummer from my Dream Theater Tribute band, and owner of Lado B Studio here in Brasilia invited my brother and I over to test out some new gear.

He recently upgraded his studio... Bought a whole bunch of new preamps (Rupert Neve, Apogees), compressors, equalizers, monitors, mixer, and whatnot.

Besides the audio improvement he's also getting into recording and editing videos with his new dv cam.

For the purpose of testing the whole thing out (and having some fun while at it) we took on a little project... We recorded a minute of DT song (drums, bass, guitar) in both audio and video (multiple angles). The chosen section was the intro to 'The Dark Eternal Night'. It was alot of fun. This video should be ready by next week hopefully, I'll post the link then.

For now I'll share something else. Repentance Solo.
At the end of our 'TDEN' session I wanted to record this to compare it with my other repentance videos that were miced with the PC mic.

I thought the tone was pretty good but would love to read some feedback.
César did a pretty cool job editing it also.

I like your sound and your tone! I've always considered sound and tone two distinct parameters. The sound is determind by your setup (guitar, amp, eq settings...) and the tone is in your fingers.
Nice one!

Very nice Thiago!!! I love all the stuff I've seen/heard from you. Cant wait for the whole song in a few weeks. The new studio tone seemed to breathe/sound more full than the pc mic one. Great job!

Thiago, thats killer. Nice tone and playing. If I closed my eyes I could've sworn JP was playing. Were you using the Mark IV? If so, what were your settings?

Thanks for the feedback guys! I always appreciate it.
The other one should be ready soon... My friend is puttin' some cables through the walls and sealing it off as we speak, so he should lay down his tracks the next couple of days.

petruccirocks02: Yes it is a Mark IV. I have my settings up at the grailtone database. You can find them here if you want.

Enc3f4L0, do you think you can do a cover of that solo in the beginning of In the Presences of Enemies Part I? I'd love to see you cover that. Thanks.
