Dream Theater Producer Edition

[Jaymz]

Coming out with the new album...sadly you have to buy the box set version to get it, if you are interested in it!

What is the difference with the regular album?

Probably another one of those things where you get the stems for drums, bass, guitars, etc. separately, so you can make awesome remixes with microsoft songsmith and horrible mashups with lil jon songs and stuff

 

[Forceps]

Wow, that sounds great! No matter what the price is, I wanna have it!!!!

Not....

Hmmmm I will get an illegal copy No joking...I´ll buy the normalo CD. Do you think the album will be TITS?

 

[Metaltastic]

Nope, not really! But I hated Train of Thought and didn't bother with anything after, so don't mind me

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

I would love this band........









If James Labrie wasn't in it.

 

[Jaymz]

Stems yeah

 

[Mancha]

Seriously, I`m scared of hearing vocal-only tracks :zombie:

I love this band. A Produced edition would be like the most frustrating thing ever. Probably works for Lamb of God because the production on that album sucks ass and one could actually DREAM of giving a better shot, but trying to compete with a dream theater mix? Don't see it happening

 

[Metaltastic]

Honestly, DT mixes have never impressed me all that much; they're perfectly adequate sure, but I always hate Mike Portnoy's snare (too ringy) and especially kick (too nasally and not clicky enough) sounds. Stop boosting kicks at 2k Kevin Shirley!

I guess it's a matter of taste, I enjoy his kick and snare sounds, I did have a problem with his toms in the early albums (awake), I think Train of Thought sounds monstrous, probably their best production to date IMO

since Ashes of the wake exists. Ashes is one of the best sounding metal albums ever in my book, when I heard sacrament it was a huge letdown for me. the sound of everything sucks, guitars suck, bass sucks, drums suck huge, vocals epicly fail. Weak, verby shit that album is IMO. And songwriting wasn't actually shining either.

- The normal version has just the CD
- The special edition has 3 CDs: 1) the album, 2) a bonus CD with a bunch of cover songs, 3) the album as instrumental
- The deluxe box edition has the same as the special edition, but also:

# Stem mixes of standard CD (try your hand at producer with isolated audio tracks of the entire album)
# Dream Theater mouse mat
# Find a silver foil ticket (100 lucky fans win a Meet & Greet with the band)
# Lithograph of cover art, numbered (100 lucky winners will find a litho signed by Hugh Syme)
# Limited edition audiophile 180-gram double-LP set with exclusive artwork from Hugh Syme

I've always thought the production on "Images and Words" and "Awake" was amazing. I'm still trying to appreciate "Falling Into Infinity." They seem to have changed their style on that album a bit. I haven't heard much after those three, but I've gathered that they have fallen into the loudness war trap like most everyone else.

I've heard "Metropolis Pt 2" and "Systematic Chaos" are amazing though. Any opinions? I intend to fill out my DT collection eventually.

At least the promo version of the new album seems to be very quiet compared to other modern albums. I don't know if that's just the promo version, though. Darkane's newest (Demonic Art) album was also very quiet in the promo version, but the retail version was FUCKING SLAMMED SAUSAGE WITH RICE CRISPIES! KSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
