I thought it was fantastic when i was growing up, but having recently got the Arturia Prophet i can see how limited and flat it sounds now.

Hoping you get more subs, must be hard starting a channel in this space so long into RUclips's history. Enjoy the content, regards from the UK.

Engaging story. Thank you very much! I am discovering with interest to follow you with the Arturia plugins. Please keep it up ;)

Sounds great, subscribed

Inspiring

which programm do u use?btw that beat inspired me

When first getting your new studio monitors or headphones, listen to a lot of music on them so that you know what your setup sounds like. Even the most expensive speakers won't help your mix if you don't have a reference, and monitors sound nothing like a hifi setup.

I think the best resource to learn the mindset for mixing is the book "Zen and the Art of Mixing" by Mixerman.

Emerald Green for me. Might be a chakra thing. :)

Those chords are used in many scary movies to heighten your senses so you could really feel the fear from the scary scene you’re watching. Monks chanted the chord to enlighten themselves or heighten their senses

That’s a sick tattoo

I thought blue

Orange/yellow

I really have no idea why I thought yellow, I thought it before I even realized this was from a music perspective. The letter C is just yellow to me. I tried changing my answer to blue but changed it back because I felt like it was yellow and was sure that'd be it and I'm really curious why that's the most common answer because I don't even know why I picked it

Yellow

Yellow

I don’t think it’s entirely due to the sound of the notes. At least for older gen-x people, they’ve found that everyone agrees on what color each letter of the alphabet is. And the reason for that is that we all had a standard set of alphabet refrigerator magnets as children, always with the same color/letter pattern. C is definitely a warm color, yellow/orange.

For some reason, when asked, most people say the color yellow comes to mind. What do you think?

Excellent advice!

Proud to be an 80's kid. Love my generation. Thank you for posting this video.

I just ask the lighting tech to blind me with the lights so I can't see anyone

hysterical! my amazing teacher doing the same things us mortals do!!!😂🎉😊

They used fm synthesis for sega genesis soundtracks very great sounds. I know many keyboards and drum machines from the 80s and 90s when you mix them it gets spicy.

You can help me relax baby...

I feel like I have so much musical creativity to put into songs and my DAW is the only thing stopping me. I hate technology lol

Conqering patriarchy wants to erase music and musicians, probably mostly targeting women. I will explain later.

My go-to synths during those days was the Roland Juno-2, and the Yamaha FB-01 (basically DX7 module). Both used the other important 80s technology, MIDI. Without MIDI to sync those samplers, synths, and 808s, all those pop wouldn't have been possible.

Well, it's "that 80s sound" for the small part of the world that is Western. The bigger music of the time was happening in Bollywood films, which had a bigger audience, and in various Chinese styles such as Cantopop, and these scenes didn't really have the traits described.

The Juno 106 was released in 1984. You should check the release dates of the songs you said used it. Also, Billie Jean did not use the Linn Drum.

That static snare/clap sound from drum machines such as the linndrum always makes me think 80s

One big element for me is the Strat in the 2nd or 4th position. I swear they just DI'd it for a lot of songs but it's unmistakably quacky. Like a Prayer is a good example.

Instruments are just a part of it. I have a humble little channel where I, amongst other things, recreate music on primarily organs but also synthesizers, so I have great experience in figuring out what is actually played. If I record a typical 1980's song it will take me 4 hours, while a typical 1970's song will take 6 hours, and that doesn't include mixing. In the 1970's there were a lot of details in the music - some of them hardly noticeable for the average listener - there was the singer or singers, the bass, the drums, the guitar, and the keyboards, but there were also a brass group somewhere, a string group, suddenly there was a flute that just played for a few seconds, then maybe a french horn, and many other details. (listen to 'If I can't have you' by Yvonne Elliman to hear what I mean) It was very orchestral - sometimes almost symphonic. In the 1980's everything became much more 'in your face' and direct: All the little details were gone and instead the focus was power! (and way too much reverb on the drums) The intro to 'Jump' is a prime example of this approach.

The bands of the 80's were very competitive with each other and were always pushing themselves to do better. Like all things when the men in suits take over the priority is making money!

Synth brass was all over the place, no matter the synth. Also "choir aahs", orchestra stabs, synth flutes and other tacky stuff too cheesy by today's standards. The 80s also saw the rise of the rompler workstations at the end of the decade.

I'm not sure what this was about. Okay so reading the title of the video: musicians are saturating a market that is free. It has all changed. We just do it as a hobby, and I buy the ads to push the videos to the masses, all out of my own pocket; I am hoping to go viral. That's all any of us can hope for at this point, and I hear it only lasts 15 minutes anyway.

Van Halen’s JUMP was not a DX7. It was the analog Oberheim OBX or OBXa.

I N X S read as "in excess" you know not of what you speak! Did AI write the script?

The Fairlight made That 80s sound. It was The Fairlight CMI

I think the most 80s sound was: early digital reverb, gated reverb, chorus on everything, synths in every song, very "clean" bright sounds were in fashion. In addition to analog synths, the DX7 had a massive impact, so did the Fairlight sampler, Emu Emulator sampler, Akai S-series samplers. Lexicon reverbs were the dog's nuts, huge SSL mixing boards were derigeur, the 808, 909, 707, Linndrum, later on the MPC were the big hitters with electronic drum sounds.

To me it was Peter Hook's Bass and Vince Clarke's melodies

Many mistakes here

Well done! And a sweet reminder of my musical adolescence and starting point in the 80s. Owned a DX7 II FD. Thank you!

I also wanted a Amprg for a long time maybe soon it could be a reality =) Congrats to ya' new Ampeg Amp <3 cheers

Very nice episode and lot's of true thoughts, Jump was all Oberheim OBXa though, My strong sonic memories involve Oberheim DMX, TR-808, and Yamaha DX-7 though i never liked the FM synthesis, And all time Synth for me is The MiniMoog, Thank you dear <3 cheers

I'm sorry to say, and I'm far from an expert, but the synths you mentioned as used in those memorable hits do not correspond with what's currently mentioned on well-respected webpages contributed to those hits. I know not better than Jump used an Oberheim, and I just checked the Wikipedia page on West End Girls.

Whoa - the DX7 had nothing to do with "Jump" or "Careless Whisper." The synth on "Jump" was an Oberheim OBXa - an analog synth - played by Eddie Van Halen. Even though you showed a video of someone playing "Jump" on a DX7, that was actually just that person's FM synthesis imitation of the OBXa sound (the user PowerDX7 writes his own programs for the DX7 and demo'es the sounds on his channel). As for "Careless Whisper," the electric piano on the recording is actually a Fender Rhodes electric piano with a "Dyno-My-Piano" modification that gives it a more pronounced high-end. The ubiquitous FM Rhodes sound that made the DX7 famous is actually an FM synthesis imitation of this sort of Rhodes sound. The musician who played the Rhodes on "Careless Whisper" was Anne Dudley, who was also a member of The Art of Noise at the time.

Run a guitar through it like Josh Homme
