Rush - Subdivisions & Countdown - Covers w/ OB-X8, Geddy Lee Model D, Taurus Pedals


video upload by Tumeni Knobs

"My cover version of Rush's Subdivisions from the Signals album. Thanks to Shadowinlight on YouTube for the excellent isolated drum and vocal tracks - and of course to Rush.

I played all guitar, bass and synths on this recording. The three synths used are the Oberheim OB-X8 and the Moog Model D (Geddy Lee version), and the Moog Taurus III. The guitar is a vintage Kramer Stagemaster Deluxe 1 running through the Fractal Audio FM9 using a tweaked Alex Lifeson preset, and a Steve Vai preset for the guitar solo. The bass is a Strandberg Boden Prog 5 running through the Tech 21 GED-2112 using Geddy's setting as described in the manual.

The animation was created in Artmatic Designer.

Cheers!"

"My cover version of Rush's Countdown from the Signals album. It's always been one of my favorites. Thanks to Shadowinlight on YouTube for the isolated vocals, Metal Overkill on YouTube for the isolated drums, Kevin Sheppard on YouTube for the isolated sound effects, and NASA on YouTube for the communications. - and of course to Rush.

I played all guitar, bass and synths on this recording. The two synths used are the Oberheim OB-X8 and the Moog Model D (Geddy Lee version). The guitar is a vintage Kramer Stagemaster Deluxe 1 running through the Fractal Audio FM9 using a tweaked Alex Lifeson preset. The bass is a Strandberg Boden Prog 5 running through the Tech 21 GED-2112 (two mono channels, Drive and Deep, are recorded on separate tracks).

The NASA communications track was painstakingly recreated using NASA's STS-1 Launch- The Complete Day video. By far it took the most time to do... I had to take some liberties, but I did find most of the bits that Rush used on the album. Cheers!"
