I learned so much watching this. If you read this Mr. Townsend, know that this kind of upload is greatly appreciated from us in the home studio world. GREATLY appreciated from a looooonnng time fan. What percussive delivery Annika has. A great vocal package.
I adore those choirs. Especially the ones like 8:03 where they have actual lyrics. You can kinda hear them on the record but never really figure out the entire lines.
I love checking out these early "in studio" works, and then listening to the kickass final version. It's made me appreciate the work put into this so much more.
Dev, This is such a gift to us who really appreciate your process. Thank you so much! The new Disc is incredible and so moving. See you when you get out on the road here!
God what I would give to have a version of Supercrush! without the main guitar, and with the main vocals turned down a bit. There's so much gold in here that I've never even noticed, despite how much I adore this song. I
Dave, just amazing....what else can we expect from you? I've been following you since the first SYL record and never everr disappointed me. Simply a genius....like really few.
I revisit this video after what? 7 years? I still think this is nothing short of genius (forgive me dev). I mean, I have quite an imagination (or that's what I think) but you Dev, are on a whole different level.
I've seen this video approximately 20 times and I simply love it! A Protool Skool with Kingdom (epicloud) would be absolutely insane! Love your work Devin!
My favorite song - and such a complicated thing. I heared by myself that it is full of sounds, but there's more than meets the... ear - I noticed many of samples just after this video. Thank you, Devin, good luck and more great music!
Thats awesome. So inspiring. Makes me realize that in the studio, the song itself means nothing without the little things you add to it here and there. Its stuff that you don't necessarily notice when you're listening unless you're listening for it. Makes a perfect wall of sound, which is something that makes Devin's music unique. Incredible stuff and a great album.
Most underrated musician of all time!!! Devin Townsend you are a Musical God walking among mere mortals. Thank you for sharing your ART with Us !!!!!🔥🖤🖤 🤘😖🤘🖤🖤🔥
This was already my favourite song on the album, but I just gained such an increased appreciation for the sheer depth of the production. This is amazing and enlightening.
The many layers of sound that make your anthems come to life... this is a great clip Sir Devy, thanks for uploading it (ps this is my fave track off Addicted too...Bonus!!)
Mr. Townsend I Just Want It To Say that You´re an amazing artist and you have a Incredible Talent. Keep Rocking, I Hope To See You in Argentina and Southamerica very Soon. Greetings from Argentina Master.
Wow. Just... wow! Dev, you could make any song in the world sound absolutely insane! definitely one of the greatest producers in the world, as well as one of the greatest all-around musicians
I'd like to see more of these videos... Even though it's hard to hear a lot of the stuff underneath, the track wouldn't sound the same without it all. It's all really awesome.
It makes you appreciate the music even more (not that i didnt appreciate it before) when you see it broken down. Mr. Townsend, you deserve the Nobel Prize.
I'd love to watch Dev doing some EQing or mixing from Casualties or Ki. Deconstruction was also a sonic masterpiece, always inspiring to watch or listen to Devin's work
That was amazing!! Thanks so much for that Dev!! I always wondered how you created that "signature" sound of yours... I never would have guessed there were that many freakin tracks buried in the mix, lol!
i just wonder how much time you spent to create each song... its nice to see your point of view in the song wrinting the, complexity of it and the attention to the small details that completely transforms your music. Keep making amazing music and keep making this kind of videos Dev :)
Seriously Dev I never even noticed most of this stuff in the song but I have this feeling if they were taken out I'd probably be killing myself trying to figure out what is wrong. Pure awesome.
Holy crap Dev. I just realized Addicted came out today! The moment I get done with classes i'm high tailing it to Manifest Discs and Tapes to get this!
the part at 2:20 where you mention that 'a lot of the stuff you don't end up hearing' you do subliminally I think, all those different freq's and things, that's what I've always admired about your music, the knowledge you put out on the Hummer was immense, really opened my eyes.
Man Dev! I wish you could teach me everything you know! I'm so jealous of your knowledge/skill/talent. :D I love that little melody with the guitar and vocals during the chorus. I always wondered if it was your voice or guitar, now I know it's both.
very cool to see how much detail goes into these songs, thanks for sharing - do you typically work on a single song all the way through, or jump around between them as ideas hit?
That's what I admire most about your music Dev, is your ability to layer a song to make it sound like God farting. I bet if you could make a damn good cake (layers always welcome). I can't wait to see you on the 12th of Jan and I also can't wait for Deconstruction. Keep up the good work man.
I went into my local HMV (UK) today and ordered/bought Ziltoid (bonus DVD). I'll own the next album by next week. I can't wait to drive around town, blasting "Ziltoidia Attaxx" and singing along.
awesome! I think Devin is a incredible musican and producer as well. And since I try to record and mix music myself, I become more and more interested in als those making of DVD's that came along with records. And new Devin put his stuff up, he's really one of those persons where im the most excitet about, to see how he works! :-) Awesome!
hey thanks for posting this devin, did you record the keys in ableton then mix em down and import them in pt because all the keys seems like wave files instead of midi notes or did you just not use any vst keys?
What keyboards do you use Dev? At 3:25 the "bell-kind-a" sound with arpeggio sounds like slightly edited version of sound from my Korg TR. Very lovely sound (if its even the same I don't know), I'm also using it on a very crushing ending of one dramatic song. Thanks for this video, I watched this after long time and remembered how greatly you produce! Please answer to the keyboard question ! :)
Production wise it sounds like Wintersun with a butt load of different tracks that all come together and overwhelm the listener in a flurry of epicness.
So, what we've learned here is that there's at least 30 songs in the background of all of Dev's songs.
Devin opens up Pro Tools, surrounding towns lose power... I could watch a Protool Skool for almost everyone of his tracks!
I’ve rewatched this many times and it still amazes me. Just incredible
I learned so much watching this. If you read this Mr. Townsend, know that this kind of upload is greatly appreciated from us in the home studio world. GREATLY appreciated from a looooonnng time fan. What percussive delivery Annika has. A great vocal package.
I'm so glad I found this. I'm just now getting into mixing and mastering. Had no idea there could be so much depth. Thank you Dev
Keep coming back to this. Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing. To have the mind to envision so many different textures is fantastic. This album is so damn good!!!!!
I adore those choirs. Especially the ones like 8:03 where they have actual lyrics. You can kinda hear them on the record but never really figure out the entire lines.
I love checking out these early "in studio" works, and then listening to the kickass final version. It's made me appreciate the work put into this so much more.
You should do more of these videos. It's given me a glimpse behind your music and inspired a few ideas for my own album.
This is why I can listen to a devin townsend album five times in a day. I'm always hearing new things each time I listen!
Really cool to show this stuff to everyone, and to hear some little things on their own.
Thankyou Devin, i'm loving your openness, it is warm and very welcome.
This is absolutely amazing. I am always blown away by how much detail you put into each track. Musical genius...
I love coming back to find bits like this. Again and again
Dev, This is such a gift to us who really appreciate your process. Thank you so much! The new Disc is incredible and so moving. See you when you get out on the road here!
This is absolutely fascinating. thanks thanks thanks so much for letting see a bit of the process. You're musical talent is beyond my comprehension.
Thanks Devin for showing us the vids. I love them and i love to take the journey of the songs with you.
I can't imagine how much work and know how is possible to make all those parts work together, simply amazing!
fucking genius
now you are not only an artist for me .. also a teacher !
thank you sir
It's great to know how much work you actually put into your music, it really makes the listeners appreciate what your doing :)
And here I sit with my 5 tracks, latency through the roof, nothing sounding right, ugh...
God what I would give to have a version of Supercrush! without the main guitar, and with the main vocals turned down a bit. There's so much gold in here that I've never even noticed, despite how much I adore this song. I
Wall of sound...amazing work Devi!
Woah! Awesome of you share this! never thought there was so much happening here!!
Yeah!! We need more videos like this! Very inspiring and such an awesome track, the texture is so dense, the album is frigging epic!!
Dave, just amazing....what else can we expect from you? I've been following you since the first SYL record and never everr disappointed me.
Simply a genius....like really few.
I revisit this video after what? 7 years? I still think this is nothing short of genius (forgive me dev). I mean, I have quite an imagination (or that's what I think) but you Dev, are on a whole different level.
I've seen this video approximately 20 times and I simply love it! A Protool Skool with Kingdom (epicloud) would be absolutely insane!
Love your work Devin!
This Video is so generous. Thanks for the inside look. Please do more if you like we'd love to see it.
My favorite song - and such a complicated thing. I heared by myself that it is full of sounds, but there's more than meets the... ear - I noticed many of samples just after this video. Thank you, Devin, good luck and more great music!

Devin Townsend you are a Musical God walking among mere mortals.
Thank you for sharing your ART with Us !!!!!🔥🖤🖤 🤘😖🤘🖤🖤🔥
I haven't got enough ears to hear the many different levels involved in all his songs! Bloody awesome.
This was already my favourite song on the album, but I just gained such an increased appreciation for the sheer depth of the production. This is amazing and enlightening.
The master of epic, walls of crushing force endless sound, at work. :) Gotta love every little bit of work that goes into such amazing music.
Wow this is incredible production
its amazing how many sounds go into a final mix. dev man i really like vids like this one. hope to see more.
Dev... this is insane. haha. Its amazing to see that all your music is pretty much thoughtful and well written. i cant wait to get Addicted!!!!!
Thank you for this!
A lot of people will probably learn some new stuff and expand their creativity (once again) thanks to you!
The many layers of sound that make your anthems come to life... this is a great clip Sir Devy, thanks for uploading it
(ps this is my fave track off Addicted too...Bonus!!)
I ordered 5 copies of addicted for me friends and me, and this makes me want to keep them all for myself lol. Great stuff Dev keep it up.
Thanks for showing us this Dev, it's amazing.
Mr. Townsend I Just Want It To Say that You´re an amazing artist and you have a Incredible Talent. Keep Rocking, I Hope To See You in Argentina and Southamerica very Soon. Greetings from Argentina Master.
Damn, this is insane! Thanks for this lesson about a genius at work!
Wow. Just... wow!
Dev, you could make any song in the world sound absolutely insane! definitely one of the greatest producers in the world, as well as one of the greatest all-around musicians
This is awesome I can't believe it exists!
This just officially became the most awesome video I've seen on youtube!
I'd like to see more of these videos...
Even though it's hard to hear a lot of the stuff underneath, the track wouldn't sound the same without it all. It's all really awesome.
Thank you Dev, I'm working in my voices right now and it's awesome to see your way to make a great mix!!
Rated, Faved.. now commented.
This was truly an amazing thing to see and "Expeience".
Supercrush is my fav. track from Addicted!
This made my day :D
It makes you appreciate the music even more (not that i didnt appreciate it before) when you see it broken down.
Mr. Townsend, you deserve the Nobel Prize.
I've always wanted to learn from your producing and that just happened. pretty freaking cool. please make these in future too.
Devin, you are a God amongst men.
I'd love to watch Dev doing some EQing or mixing from Casualties or Ki. Deconstruction was also a sonic masterpiece, always inspiring to watch or listen to Devin's work
Holy balls that is a lot of tracks there. You sir, are something else.
Holy shit!:D
Is wanted to see something like this for a looong long time.
Thanks for posting!
AMAZING song!
Very interesting Dev! Thanx for sharing! :)
That was amazing!! Thanks so much for that Dev!! I always wondered how you created that "signature" sound of yours... I never would have guessed there were that many freakin tracks buried in the mix, lol!
This is something I've always wanted to see:)
i just wonder how much time you spent to create each song... its nice to see your point of view in the song wrinting the, complexity of it and the attention to the small details that completely transforms your music. Keep making amazing music and keep making this kind of videos Dev :)
9:34 sounds like the intro to "Runnin' With THe Devil" lol...awesome stuff
This is so inspiring.
Hooooly shitttttttttt this is AMAZING :O!!!!!!!!!!
How did I miss that o_O. I am in awe
Seriously Dev I never even noticed most of this stuff in the song but I have this feeling if they were taken out I'd probably be killing myself trying to figure out what is wrong.
Pure awesome.
These Protool Skool videos are amazing! I can't believe the sheer amount of shit that gets layered.....it sounds phenomenal Dev!
You are AMAZING.
Stunning. I shall now go back to all my Devy albums and play with the balance. I might be some time :D
I am speechless. I've down 3 albums in pro tools with my band, and this is just....wut?!?! Truly a master of his craft.
Holy crap Dev. I just realized Addicted came out today! The moment I get done with classes i'm high tailing it to Manifest Discs and Tapes to get this!
the part at 2:20 where you mention that 'a lot of the stuff you don't end up hearing' you do subliminally I think, all those different freq's and things, that's what I've always admired about your music, the knowledge you put out on the Hummer was immense, really opened my eyes.
Dev- you inspire the shit out of me. Looking forward to the Boston show!
If I could work with any producer Devin would be my first choice. Just incredible!
I love that little electronic part at 3:25. It makes me wanna buy out a candy store.
A lot of hard work there.
Im definately sure now that Dev is not human, no way a mere human could be so great!!!!
Man Dev! I wish you could teach me everything you know! I'm so jealous of your knowledge/skill/talent. :D
I love that little melody with the guitar and vocals during the chorus. I always wondered if it was your voice or guitar, now I know it's both.

That guitar tone is really really good.
AHa! SO this is how masterpiece looks like!
This is crazy. Still waiting for my damn preorder to get here.
Woah. What kind of beastly hardware is this running on!
awesome! I think Devin is a incredible musican and producer as well. And since I try to record and mix music myself, I become more and more interested in als those making of DVD's that came along with records. And new Devin put his stuff up, he's really one of those persons where im the most excitet about, to see how he works! :-) Awesome!
Pure awesome!
hot damn, devin is as crazy good with pro tools as he is with writing music
There´s a lot of potatoes in your soup Mr.Dev, but it´s the finest soup iv ever had:)
Thanks alot. You should do some dvd full of these sessions vids
I love this shit. Devin, you amaze me.
This will be my 4th time watching this video. Stunning.. That's all I can say :)
His business card should just read: Devin Townsend - Super Genius!
hey thanks for posting this devin, did you record the keys in ableton then mix em down and import them in pt because all the keys seems like wave files instead of midi notes or did you just not use any vst keys?
This was really nice :)
I would really like to see a walktrough of the ending of Ki as well
Devin just does it all.
What keyboards do you use Dev? At 3:25 the "bell-kind-a" sound with arpeggio sounds like slightly edited version of sound from my Korg TR. Very lovely sound (if its even the same I don't know), I'm also using it on a very crushing ending of one dramatic song. Thanks for this video, I watched this after long time and remembered how greatly you produce! Please answer to the keyboard question ! :)
You dear sir make me so jealous!
Production wise it sounds like Wintersun with a butt load of different tracks that all come together and overwhelm the listener in a flurry of epicness.
F'ng awesome! Thanks for letting us see some of your process. Now please show us the layering of the vocals on "Resolve!" I would poop if you did!
I figured there was a lot more going on there than meets the mind/ear, on the surface. That is one intense session.
