Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled (Porcupine Tree cover)

Here's a cover of Porcupine Tree's Lazarus from 2006. The MIDI parts for this were originally created as part of a cover made in Cakewalk but for some reason the Cakewalk project was at the wrong tempo, so all the audio was incorrect. (I didn't use a reference track!?)

I've recreated the project in Cubase 12 Pro, brought in all MIDI data and re-recorded all audio data.

All Vocals, Guitars, Bass are me, everything else is programmed

Software:
Cubase 12 Pro
XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2
Overloud TH3
Various Steinberg plugins inside Cubase

Lazarus (Porcupine Tree Cover)

I recorded this in 2020 and have remixed and remastered it in Cubase 13 in 2024.

Played guitar 20 years, drum nerd, software nerd, mediocre vocalist with an interest in progressive rock. Armed with Sonar X3, a whole load of spare time and an internet full of MIDI files to pull apart and have fun with.
