  • This is a cover I recorded. I breakdown the song and show the separate parts of the arrangement. I play the completed track at the end of the video. The Arturia SEM V and Arturia CS-80 V synth plug-ins are featured.

    Fantastic! Also Shew whoops not cheesy. My favorite part in the track is the creepy synth solo towards the end. I.e. In the original it’s what strive for in my synth work. I love that stuff! It’s life itself.

    This is AWESOME. Amazingly accurate. At times you even sound a little bit like her.

    Outstanding reverse engineering! Such a complex song. One of my favorites.

    sometimes the strings sound + a subtle sawtooth works better. Great work !!!

    in the 60s and 70s there was a thriving industry in making covers of pop songs on record labels such as Camden and hallmark if this was still going you could be making a killing on doing covers that are not far off the original

    Well effing done!!! I really wish you'd tell your starting point patches on the arturia synths. Btw, the jangle thing is a guitar in the original. I nailed it dead on with guitar pack but, we're replaying it on the actual guitar anyway. Really good cover!

    Thank you so much. I have been captivated by this song since I was around 13 years old. That introduction is a masterpiece, which just shows how supremely talented Dave Stewart is. I like that your version actually ended up feeling different by being actually warmer sounding than the original. I would personally add a little more LFO and/or vibrato effect to that synth at 3:10 mark, but it's pretty darn flawless otherwise. I would love to see you do a breakdown of Erasure's "Oh L'Amour" or Icehouse's "Hey little girl" at some point in future. Thanks for your great work

    Sounds great but how about information about how you did this? What gear are you using? I can watch any number of "Here is my version of this song." videos. Big deal. How did you recreate these sounds? What software are you using? That is much more interesting.

    My favorite Eurythmics song, recreated almost perfectly. My only problem is the artificial sounding strings.

    • @RomanRiccio
      @RomanRiccio  Год назад +1

      Thank you! Someone with more experience could probably have done better with programming the strings, but nothing beats recording a real string section!

    Great recreation and track work. Recreating that arpeggiator is tough. Why did you do it in a lower key? Original track starts on A minor

    • @RomanRiccio
      @RomanRiccio  3 года назад +1

      Thanks! I often have to change the key of a cover song because my vocal range is lower than the singer on the track.

    This is awesome! I have a suggestion not many people have done on RUclips. You should go over as well as play the synthesiser parts of Starship We Built This City. The synth riffs in that song are underrated and I wish more people would play them.

    • @RomanRiccio

    • @ironinquisitor3656
      @ironinquisitor3656 6 лет назад +1

      I can't wait! Most people who do play the song on RUclips just play the vocal and lyric notes and not the actual keyboard sounds on the album. Here is something that might help a little.

    This is great! Can i ask what synth plugin you used to recreate the Arp sequence

    • @RomanRiccio
      @RomanRiccio  4 месяца назад

      Thank you! It's a Kontakt library called Retro Machines Mk2 using the FourVoice - One-SEM Lead 2 patch and the 8th variation.

    That's brilliant! May I ask you if you can send me the stems and/or maybe how did you achieve all the sounds at the beginning (Arp + Snare sounds)?
    Thank you so much.

      Thanks! I don't have stems for this but I can send you an instrumental if you like. I just kept searching through patches until I found a synth and snare sound which sounded the closest to the original. I used the MIDI effects section in Logic to make an arp for the synth.

      Yes, that's true. The entire song is in a lower key because my vocal range is different from Annie Lennox.

    Your singing was very nice to listen to! Singing a song that vocalist with as amazing voice as that of Annie Lennox has done, takes some guts to do! :D It was just good that the music behind vocals was not completely similar as on the original, but that version of yours was just a bit too "generic" for my taste (sorry, that I didn't come up with any better term than this nowadays too much used one :/ ) Drums were definitely the weakest part - I'm not a drummer, but the World definitely still needs live drummers, and badly! With that I'm referring to that extremely often music made by computers, synths & drum machines has horrible, unimaginative drum tracks.
