I love DrMix...... His heart is still in the 80’s.

[@wmonk5642]

And he is also a top singer ;))

[@noabassrodriguez8170]

Me too! I love Queen's music and all that!

[@TorutheRedFox]

mine went back in time to the 80's

[@vuhdeem]

It all went downhill after the 80s. Except EDM! The 90s had the best electronica!

[@luischardon]

[@hedful]

A remake of Haddaway's What Is Love would be interesting...

Yes, very good.

5:17 omfg, the warmth of this synth is absolutelty marvelous. Really wish we could get such depth and fatness from vst’s too

[@frankdrebbin3089]

It reminded me of a Rush song "The Camera Eye" on the album moving pictures 1981!! Sounds really close.

[@ImagineRecordings]

Check out UVI Waverunner. It may be what you're looking for: www.uvi.net/en/vintage-corner/waverunner.html#instruments We've legit sold about half of our studio's synths because of UVI. They deep sample the hardware (museum quality pieces and restorations of ultra rare/expensive synths) into massive libraries (many are 5 to 35+ GB in size), then combine those with their UVI Engine (which is in both the free UVI Workstation as well as the _uncannily_ deep Falcon II synth/sampler). If I remember right, the UVI PX V8 is ​@Doctor Mix's hardware Voyetra 8, and they use a lot of RetroSound's rare/restored gear, as well. They not only sample the stock presets from hardware, but also the raw _root_ sound sources (sine wave, square wave, PCM files, etc) from the hardware of which a respective synth's stock presets are composed. It's a blank slate for creating new patches from the ground up. People that dismiss UVI stuff as a preset "ROMpler" don't know what they're talking about. It's so much more than that and completely changed our workflow. Anyway, back to the synth in question... does Waverunner have the exact knob layout of a PPG? Not necessarily, and I'm not trying to say that it's a knob for knob re-creation like Behringer is doing with their reissues, but it _is_ the real, raw, base _sounds_ from the hardware and combined with UVI Engine's filters/controls, you can do pretty well exactly what the hardware can do, and in many cases, even *more* than what the hardware is capable of doing, especially if using within Falcon II. To be clear, I/we love analog and digital hardware synths... they are special, and having it in the room is indeed very cool (or literally *hot* depending on the synth! lol), but when it comes down to that vs studio space, budget considerations, routine maintenance, consisitent tuning issues, settings recall, mobility, time/speed/ease of use, and so on, UVI stuff is probably your best option. Man, that sounded way too much like a commercial. lol. We're just really into it. I think UVI sums it up well in their oft said slogan... "It sounds like the hardware because it _is_ the hardware." We agree. Hope this info helps!

[@red7332]

imagineRecordings / imagineAudio thanks a bunch! Can i only buy the waverunner 2.3? Or do i need to buy the whole bundle

[@ImagineRecordings]

Hi @@red7332! I believe Waverunner is only sold as a bundle for all 7 instruments. My favorites from that collection are the 2.0 and 360, but all are good depending on the situation. Since you're interested in Waverunner I should mention that 2 or 3 times a year, UVI has a sale on Vintage Vault, which includes pretty much every classic synth/drum machine they make (Waverunner is in VV also), so if you don't need it right away, waiting til a sale might be the better way to go. Typically, when VV is on sale it's $399. Normally it's $599, but even at that price it's an absolute bargain for how much content is in it. There's about 70 instruments in VV now, I think. I'd recommend signing up to their email list to get all their sale/deal/new updates. They don't spam. We've been using VV2 (and upgraded to VV3 for $29...yep, twenty-nine. lol) for a little over 2 years now, and have been using Falcon for about 1.5 years. Have barely scratched the surface of their capabilities, and that's with near daily use. Discovering and creating new sounds everyday is part of what has made it so fun and has really recharged the creative batteries! Hope this helps some!

[@macdaddybender]

Claudio's love of 80s electronic music is infectious. He's having such a great time doing this and it makes it really fun to watch

[@raptorekpl]

Now someone should rectreate the music video. That would be hell of a project. :>

This is one of my favorite songs from the 80's. Claudio you totally nailed it, gratitude from America 🇺🇸.

[@njsynthesis]

5:17 -- _I close my eyes at the overwhelmingly rich soundscape. With each change in the harmony, I feel a new, euphoric feeling completely surpassing anything my imagination can conjure up. The clouds of melancholy and nostalgia run into each other, their characteristics becoming inseparably intertwined. At once, the sonic and spiritual work together to lull me into--_ *PHATNESS!*

[@PavleYT]

Eyyyy nice

[@avace917]

I did a cover of this for a friend today. Played the whole song over. Doing this over tapped into the Synthwave stuff I've been doing. Love your videos

[@ramonrames]

The genuinly happy look on your face when you play is contagious...

[@ImSorryDre]

idk why, but that melody at 6:53 is so memorizing! sounds like a startup sound for a fire ass game system or something lol.

Very nice cover man ! Originaly, the lead part was a Juno 60 layered with a DX7, and the pad was a prophet 5, the bass was the famous DX7 synth bass.

@@haritodecebolla i'm agree with you, but that is not the chord that DoctorMix plays

@@hehawkiller yes right. For very long time i knew only the hot butter version, the big hit in the beginning in 1972 ( the first instrumental synth hit for me ) , and the popping with the mouth we were making. It is only with internet and some comments that i discovered the original version, and the fact that there was a lot of versions after the hit of 1972, including one version by a young musician unknown to the great public at this time called Jean-Michel Jarre.

[@collinpople1076]

I find it interesting how they really got the best out of the 3 different synths they used. Each tone or patch is really amazing on its own different way. They wouldn't have been able to get such contrasting rich colors using only one machine.

It's good, but it's not right! Lol. I really love this song and I have the original instrumental track which I've listened to many many times so I'm familiar with all the different synths and this recreation is missing quite a few sounds. It's missing the DX7 flute sound, the bell like pad (it plays through the chorus, not just the intro) and there's even a guitar strumming throughout as well. Fair enough if this was just a casual vid. The Thriller recreation was the best you ever did. That was 100% spot on.
