bro, not even kidding, sounds like you got into the original Synclavier project files

[@THEPIKMINSOUL]

You did really good job :) This is so similar to their rare version of Robots in 1990, the members are Ralf, Karl, Friz and Florian.

[@indiaboymusicgroup]

dude, this is awesome, best Kraftwerk cover in general and the vocals are so crisp and the quality man. wtf. I would to see the project file wow!

[@ethy_bates_art]

I think when KW played these long experimental versions of classic tracks in 1990 they were really into something special. This recreated/cover version is one of my favourites ever. Can’t not get a bit goosebumpy when the main lick comes in 😄 sounds like someone had a different setting on the backing synth for the third verse (just as it was on the original teatro recording!) fantastic work Andrew, one of my favourites of yours.

[@Tigershark_3082]

I love how how you always put your own spin on the songs you cover!

[@fabiancanillas7945]

Good Job...this is a mix!!!

[@istvan7631]

Excellent!

[@nickd7225]

Ok man this is so good this and your other covers im subscribing

[@kaplan007]

Me apasiona la música de los Kraftwerk, me gustan mucho tus cover's, gracias amigo!!!!

[@kmrtv]

best version ever !

[@hayeye]

bravo!

[@A-ProductionsYT]

I like the vocals better in this cover rather than the ‘78 version. It sounds more like “The Mix” than “The Mix”!

[@blutuf]

Oh YES!

[@Ocsyreg]

This is the best The robots remix i've ever heard! i especially love your replication of the main bassline and the origial singing. I actually wanted to ask which synth did you use for the main bassline? And how did you manage to get the original vocals? I've tried lots and lots of ways to extract the vocals from the song but i could never get a result amazing like this!

[@AndrewShawMusik]

Thank you! The main bassline was created using Monark, a Minimoog plugin for Native Instruments' Reaktor. For the vocals I isolated them from the 5.1 Surround Sound version of Minimum-Maximum, however I have now got a functioning Votrax SC-02 speech synthesizer which is the same as what Kraftwerk have, so I can now generate my own!

[@Ocsyreg]

@@AndrewShawMusik Thank you so much for your answer! It was really helpfull! And im hoping to see more of your amazing kraftwerk covers!

[@Ocsyreg]

@@AndrewShawMusik Regarding the Votrax SC 02. I have looked around and i found no place where i could get one. Also sadly i wouldn’t even be able to purchase one as right now my only income is my monthly allowance. And thats why i wanted to ask you for help. As i am working on a remix of The Robots too, i wanted to ask you (since you can recreate the vocals to be exactly like the original with the Votrax SC 02) if you could help me out and somehow send me only the vocals for The Robots in an mp3 or Wav file. It would be a lot of help and i would really appreciate it. But of course if you can’t do it or if you decide that you don’t want to, i will absolutely take no for an answer.

[@pankaburek59]

@@EWormMusic kraftwerk seem to use more votrax sc01 than sc02

[@wifikraftofficial8645]

I like this version

[@softcell5979]

Magnificent work! I have a little question to you: you wrote in other comments that you used 5.1 surround sound from Minimum-Maximum to isolate vocals. My question is: which program did you use to do it and where how did you get the surround sound? I know it's maybe stupid question but I struggle to do it myself and your work here is just awesome! Would be grateful for your answer:)

[@rochu.]

You could get in soulseek and isolate in Vegas.

[@rochu.]

But i recomend you 3-d the catalogue for this vocals 🙃

[@softcell5979]

@@rochu. thank you!

[@igorbondarenko5077]

очень прикольный кавер

[@spinningsquare1325]

Its funny that Andrew will never do a cover of the mix robots because apparently it will sound identical to the original

[@amarait2]

excellent cover, almost like the original.

[@tammiegonzalez2543]

I love it. wonder where you got those songs from or did you make them?

[@AndrewShawMusik]

I made them :)

[@StanislavIlin-rn1gj]

Drum sounds are so incredible! What have you used for that? Any sort of VST or sampled original ones somehow?

[@rochu.]

7.1 dolby atmos wav :) also for the vocals

[@coltranefan0190]

Where did you get the drums from? This is bloody brilliant. I really enjoyed those 1990 concerts

[@abaf209]

Excellent as always ! Sorry if it was already asked, but what are you using for the robovox voices ? VST ? Synth ?

[@AndrewShawMusik]

Thank you! This song was done using samples of the real vocals, but I now have a working Votrax SC-02 speech synthesizer that I use. This is the same speech synthesizer that Florian used for this track.

[@harleyjackson3708]

I swear the first 35 seconds or so sounds like the live one from Bristol in '81.

[@harleyjackson3708]

Does anyone else think Rammstein may have ripped this off a little bit when they were making Du Hast? Because the synth line sounds basically identical except this synth has less reverb.

[@hawranhrafnain6066]

oh man, i am lookin for the funny beginning of 90s, and yes, that's :D seriously, i was there, i heaerd The Mix x x and no worry, just permanent fun : yes, that's that digital vs. analog, and broken wall, feeling. sry, i'm to confused to spell correct, yes, oh no, perhaps future

[@jessemacias2]

It’s like a missing kraftwerk remix! Great

[@NikolayZubkov]

Underrated cover. P.S. Where did you get the acapellas from?

[@AndrewShawMusik]

I asked nicely :)

[@NikolayZubkov]

@@AndrewShawMusik ??

[@A-ProductionsYT]

@@NikolayZubkov He used real samples of the vocals.

[@pmcyprys]

Jak w tym albumie "The Mix".

[@harleyjackson3708]

1:47 I swear Rammstein ripped this synth line off wholesale to write Du Hast.

[@oetam9556]

You used Harmor ?

[@AndrewShawMusik]

Yes! It is making the saw patch that you can hear from 1:48 onwards. It's a very powerful synthesizer, and I still don't fully understand it!
