The Long Distance XONE Part 2

Well, it has been 1.5 years since our Bassist, Ted, moved away from Southern California. In that time, we have kept our songs tight, thru our use of Click Track Maps in Pro Tools and Sonar. Ted’s been coming down for rehearsal every 2 months since he left, and we have used the method I mentioned in Part 1 of this blog to keep the band intact. We released our CD The 4th Dimension, and we are recording our next. Logistically, we’re doing all of this in two different places, but it is working GREAT!! XONE is alive and well!

Since the separated recording is going excellently, we decided to play a Live Show in San Pedro, Ca this Summer 2009. We’ve been rehearsing separately to Click Track Maps, with Ted’s Bass track accompanying Will and Jason, and Will’s Guitar & Vocals and Jason’s drums accompanying Ted. We’re getting together again in June to rehearse for this show.

We’re really excited to play live again and we’re featuring songs from both The 4th Dimension and our upcoming CD ELEMENTS!
Here’s a video of us rehearsing in January!

The Virtual Drum Kit (V-Kit) XONE

We’ve been rehearsing for a Summer 2009 local San Pedro live show and we’re excited about showing off some new additions to XONE, one of which is Jason’s new Roland TD-6 V-Kit Virtual Drum Kit. Though, we were all skeptical at first that the V-Kit would sound “fake”, ultimately, we were all blown away by its amazing ability to not only sound natural but also carry the low end! The V-Kit Rules!!

With the use of Pro Tools and the fact that each XONE song has its own Click Track Map, Will and Jason can practice in San Pedro, and Ted can practice in Rocklin to the same song. When we get together every 2 months for weekend rehearsals, we sound like we’ve been practicing twice a week in the same room. All of this for a show we will be playing the Summer 2009!

And for the first time, we will be playing with the Roland V-Kit! It sounds better than the acoustic kit, and Jason’s Yamaha kit sounds great! The V-Kit has so many excellent simulated full drum kits, that time is needed to investigate its instruments. Jason has definitely put this V-Kit through its paces, as we’ve been rehearsing with it exclusively since January! We love how hard it hits and how well it cuts thru. Also, it has helped to lower our overall live volume level to a much more comfortable listening level for our fans ears.

Are you skeptical? We were at first too! Come out and see us this Summer 2009, and see what you think of the new Roland V-Kit. In the meantime, here’s a video clip of the second half of our song HERO from our January XONE rehearsal together. Let us know what you think!

XONE - Bringing Progressive Metal To The Masses!

XONE (pronounced zône) is a modern metal band, founded by Will Austin in 2001, integrating elements of progressive rock, driven by story-oriented lyrics, expressed with a depth of passion, and delivering an eclectic but captivating sound that cuts across all musical borders. The music takes you into a XONE…

Connecting with the listener is my goal. Anyone who feels my music is important to me!

Fans say XONE's influences, which range from Rush, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Evergrey, White Zombie, Van Halen, Tool, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Godsmack, U-2, and more, can be heard in many different aspects of our music. The lyrical styles range from the re-telling of historical events, exploring the dimensions of both inner and outer space, to everyday relationship encounters, which touch a nerve that we can all relate to...

Give XONE a listen, and let me know what you think!
