Sort of fixed it, EQ'd the drums, sent the kick, snare, and toms through reverb, and sent that into a bus running parallel compression. Slightly EQ'd the guitar tracks, which were sent to a bus for mixing purposes. Bass was also EQ'd.  Tried to mix it as best as I could, sounds... okay... Not totally happy with it. I think the overhead level is a little too high, and the velocity on it as well isn't right. Oh well, it's 5 a.m. on a weekday, not much else I can do a this point.

A quick experiment of transforming a heavily processed modern drumkit from Toontrack Drumkit From Hell EZX into a vintage sounding kit.

Vintagizing the Toontrack Drumkit From Hell EZX

Hello everyone! I hope you are fine. :)

Here it is, the best backing track you can find over the internet of Liquid Tension's Freedom of speech done by me.

Back then, I decided to take time to find over guitar pro tab pages, complete tabs of this song, unfortunately, I couldn't find any complete tabs. So I glued all the GP5 files I could find at the moment(it was like 4 different tabs) to glue them together. Once I finished that process (which sounds easy, but it wasn't)I started to add arrangements that were missing from the original composition, and I fixed the wrong notes of each instrument track. All I was missing was Portnoy's drums and Rudess's church organ solo by the end of the song. I've managed to find a tab that had the drums, and the drums notes were surprisingly on tempo, and everything was spot on. I tried to dig even furthermore for Rudess' organ solo, but I could not find it. So, the church organ solo is not on the backing track. 

This was a hard job to complete,  but I was able to make it sound as close as possible to the original. But here it is, it was a lot of fun, it was hard work but here you go. I hope that more fellow guitarists enjoy this backing track I made several years ago as much as I still do. 

Enjoy a good-quality backing track of this masterpiece. Rock it hard!

I mess around with virtual instruments and upload the results here

I'm a guitarist/bassist who has been playing for over 20 years and my main musical passions include metal, progressive rock, blues, country, jazz, funk and fusion music. I primarily play a 7/8 String Electric Guitar and dabble/unashamedly happy slap the hell out of my 7-String Bass Guitar. I do a lot of my own personal song writing and with other musicians, where I play in other bands and use my 'Lost Import' solo project for my own personal metal compositions (full-album in the playlist below).

I record from home using Logic Pro, Waves Audio Plugins, Neural DSP, Superior Drummer 3.0, and my ever breeding pedal board/amp tones. I'm still trying to learn more about the production side of recording music, which is probably reflected in my song uploads, but I hope to improve upon this further and learn more about creating a decent mix! I'm also available for work with other musicians/bands, teaching, and geek-talking about anything musical :)


Thanks for popping by!

I am a Costa Rican guitar player (aficionado). I'm uploading original music and music of the band i belong TRIANGLE OF SILENCE. So i hope you enjoy what i'm doing. Thanks and cheers
