WATCH: Ilan Rubin (The New Regime, Nine Inch Nails, Angels & Airwaves, Paramore) Records One-Take Tracks for Solo Performance of “Say What You Will”

Multi-instrumentalist and drummer for Paramore, Nine Inch Nails, Lostprophets, etc. Ilan Rubin stops by Apogee Studios to record a song in an hour flat, showcasing the capabilities of the Apogee Duet 2 audio interface.

In addition to all the above, Rubin’s solo project The New Regime, which released its third record this spring, has him practicing every relevant instrument. Using an Apogee Duet 2 alongside a Macbook Pro and Logic Pro X, the curly-haired Rubin cut 11 single-take instrumental tracks before zapping the raw materials over to his brother Aaron Rubin for mixing. Says Apogee:

By the way… all the parts were done in one take, no comping, doing multiple takes, samples, or crazy tricks of any kind.

Sure, it may be an ad, but as uncomfortable as that may make you feel, the clip is still pretty cool. Music geeks and gearheads can feast on the interview and session footage below.
