Hey everyone. Quick apology to say, the screen capture DIDN'T capture any sound for this filming session so i've cleaned up the camera and NTK audio as much as I can but i know it's not perfect. I'll have it fixed for next video!
- Connor
A big part of that actual Awake tone is the quad tracking he did - it's both a IIC+ and an early-gen Rectifier on each side. It's the only DT album where he did that.
Wish we had a dual rec sound in a neural plugin!
@@ConnorKaminski STL Tonality Josh Middleton has a really good one if you’re willing to go outside Neural.
@@ConnorKaminski doesnt the gojira plugin use dual recs ?
I fully, completely, wholeheartedly support this new series. Bring it on!
Dudeee my FAV DT album 🔥 absolutely nailed the vibe with that clean guitar you added! and that unison run was so Train of Thought 😂
@@nickbroomhallmusic mateeeee thank you! Very inspired by what you’re doing!
As a lifelong Dream Theater fan, I can see where you were attempting to sound just like DT but honestly…it sounds uniquely amazing and very modern to me, I love it man! I’m a long time guitarist and have always believed that our own dna comes through anything we play even if we are literally covering another player’s or band’s material. Somehow our own imprint gets infused into it and it morphs it into something slightly different and unique. I totally hear the DT influence in what you created but man, it stands on its own as completely fresh, modern, relevant music. Keep creating man you’re awesome.

Sick! Got so much love for Awake!
thick riff wednesday, i dig it! :p
phenomenal playing, also loved to hear your thoughts while working! Looking forward to further episodes :)
maybe include a bit more production-thoughts as well, like some defining eq-work, mastering chain, whatever, i would like to know about that side of your work as well :)
Definitely will include more mixing stuff next time!!
Thanks for sharing these videos! They help a lot from a composition perspective 💯
could you do a video on drum programming please? it will be very helpful to lots of self taught musicians
once into the unison i was like : YYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAH with a full stank face :D impressive
Love the vibe man!
Pinch harmonics are great, you did it the way Dream theater does, they should be proud of you! ♨️♨️♨️
Awesome bro!
Could you make the tab and backing track available for us to learn!
This was so sick to watch come together! I can’t wait for more of these and looking forward to the play through.
The pinch harmonics are spot on
Great vid! Thick riff thursday vibes.
I was gonna say, this is so Nick Broomhall Thick Riff Thursday coded
this was awesome. How many Strandbergs is that!?!?!
Bro that is so sick 😂 maybe one day I’ll get that good at editing and writing ✍️ Thanks for posting!
Great track!! I´d love to hear an acoustic guitar doubling the clean ones
The result is killer, loved it!
very cool vid
That was a dope video dude. Stoked for more!
