Where does JR fit in the equation? The last to record after James? Before James?

JR was in Europe playing a show not too long ago, so he should be back at the studio soon to record, I guess.
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

JP was tracking acoustic guitars last night, according to DT's intagram.

Or they could just all go in the studio at the same time and record the songs playing as a full band.

But the bass should really support the riffs. It should not call attention to itself.

I was thinking the same thing. We haven't got anything new since JP's guitar camp started.

Well, this clip has been posted today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hedp8dVSWd4 (although IMHO I find this completely unnecessary, as well as it not pertaining to DT14 at all)
And then there is this post by Petruccinator: https://www.instagram.com/p/BmeETIwBnWr/?taken-by=johnpetrucciofficial and this one here by James https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmk3_RfFcch/?taken-by=jameslabrie.dt  (which were then reposted on DT's Instagram page, but that all happened last week.) These three are the most current bits of information I could find just now. Sorry.

That is something I couldn't extrapolate, otherwise I would have added it in already. Sorry.

For me, the excitement will kick in once we know the album title and before the first full piece will be released. I was excited about the little bits that were teased though to be honest.

No not yet. (I was just referring to the fact that the artwork is part of the excitement factor that tends to build every time there is a new DT album)

My fav moment is finding out the lengths of each track. Last album was so proggy we had to assemble track lengths ourselves

He seems excited about it too and that's good because IMHO he is important for DT and when he uses his strengths, I'm sure it will work for us and for them.

https://mobile.twitter.com/jameslabrie/status/1032663633195556865

What's the common flow in their recording process? Vox and keys afterwards or the opposite? If the vocals are the last thing to do before mixing, we surely can hope for a single in the next two months  :corn

Generally speaking, a band would record drums first, then bass, then guitars, then keys and vocals last. Apparently, DT hasn't always followed that order, though  ???
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I don't remember for sure, but I think they typically record solos last after vocals.

I was about to say "no shiii" to DT's post because we know that James already started recording, but their recording order seems to be random this time, so oh well ;p

Also, JMX is smiling! :D

And... well... someone photoshoped a beard on his face. I love the Internet sometimes.  :lol

Is it random?  If I'm not mistaken, they did drums, then guitars, then keyboards, then bass, then vocals, and then will go back and do solos and add other layers and textures as needed.  I'm pretty sure that is similar to what they usually do.

Finally a new video. Great news too about the lyrics! I am even more excited now for this album.

Quoting JP: "Guitars are done, except for 3 solos, I think" No mention of keys either.
