So can we solve the mystery of what makes these jams so infectious? Will Kurk investigates in the latest edition of #SynthSoundsOf. Don't believe us? Just watch.

    For all of those saying: uh...it doesn't sounds the same. Let me remind you he is using the sounds right out of the synths to the video. In the production versions ....this sounds have been processed heavily with Eq's, compressors and even used a different reverb on them. All of that to make them sit tight in the final mix. So thats the reason they dont sound exactly the same.

    Shampoo, Press & Curl (Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Brody Brown) were producers on all the 24K Magic album. The Stereotypes were credited with helping to produce three tracks on the album. Mark Ronson, Jeff Bhasker, and Bruno Mars produced Uptown Funk. Uptown Funk had an interesting combination of drums (Bruno Mars) and bass (Jamareo Artis) along with synth drums and synth bass. The horns were live.

    50% of 80s sound is in drums sounds and production, mostly heavy processed with FX processor machines and gated reverbs and plates such as Lexicon 480L, PCM70, AMS, Eventide H3000... All this FX boxes are second to none even today.

    🔥 I watched Mark Ronsons masterclass on BBC Maestro and he showed that they used a Juno 106 and a minimoog on Uptown Funk. Your patches sounded just like it bit the stabs and all the synth parts were his Juno 106 and maybe a Juno 60 arp. He didnt show the orchestra hits but said they worked on it for 9 months and had a bunch of arguments on the song with Jeff Bhasker and Bruno just to go back to what they had in the first day. Mark explains how he hated the “bumbudumbubudum” part bruno introduced but after sleeping on it realized that it was one of the main hooks of the song.

    1:05 Keith Sweat's 'I Want Her' is perhaps a better reference as a song being at the forefront of New Jack Swing.
    A popular bass used in New Jack Swing was the "I21 Lately Bass" from the Yamaha TX81Z.

    You seem to lean a little to heavy on Jimmy and Terry for New Jack Swing. In it's inception, it was pretty much all Teddy. Doug E. Fresh "The Show" in '86 along with Janet "Nasty" in '86. They are no were near the same styles. Although Wikipedia hails Jimmy and Terry as influencers with "Control". TR really is credited with it's invention, not a person that modified it.

    By the way, if one wants to see how it's done, watch Bruno Mars himself demo the parts (correctly!)
    ruclips.net/video/GLmrfdFtaZo/видео.html#action=share
    At 0:48 watch Bruno play the 24k bassline, complete with keyboard slides and modulation wheel.
    And, at 3:27 he plays the chords to 24k Magic on the Roland Juno.

    My only issue is that nowhere did you actually mention how you dialed in those sounds. I recognize that these videos exist to show off gear, but when you're doing a recreation video, i feel like you should either use the originals, or at least talk a little bit about how you approximated that sound. Preferably both.
