Devin Townsend Toontrack Livestream

[Troyificus]

 

 

I totally meant to post this up here when it happened back in November but somehow completely forgot. *facepalm*

In a nutshell; the mad metal genius that is Devin Townsend decided to livestream the creation of a brand-new song and document his creative process. To add to the fun he also agreed to limit himself to a 2 hour time period. Madness!

I'm posting it here because there's every possibility that a lot of people on the site may well get a lot out of this, production-wise. The video itself is 4 hours long (most of the beginning is dead-air) so here's some timestamps (lifted straight from the description on the YT page, I take no credit for any of this upload!)
