Recording Joe Perry's Spider-Man Theme

Here we have David Frangioni explaing how he recorded and played as part of Joe Perry's Spider-Man Theme back in the early 90s. Working completely in the box, he recorded the guitar parts, and layed down drums over the mix, sequencing everything in Digital Performer. David continues to work at the highest levels in music technology, and had one of the first fully digital studios in the world. He set up similar ones for stars and subsequently had one of the worlds first Billboard number 1 hits made fully in the box.

Here's more from the video...

In 1993, Joe Perry of Aerosmith and I worked on the theme song for Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Joe performed guitar, bass, and talkbox while I helped program drums and co-produce. Join me as I break down the mix and revisit my time working with Joe Perry! @aerosmith
