What a wizard Anthony is ! So much mastery !

[@Itsmy2cent]

“Come on, let’s get demonetized together”. Lol keeping it 💯. Love them 2 breaking down stuff from different perspectives

[@bernyboss]

Crazy cool! U r driving us nuts 🥜 😂 Looks like a dream trip 🍾

[@javieralejandro1252]

Hola Claudio!!... Cuándo una reacción a Boney M.?

[@javieralejandro1252]

Abrazos enormes desde Chile ❤❤❤

[@philippendletonmusic]

Who had the loudest shirt? Dr MIx or Anthony Marinelli? Thumbs up for Anthony!

[@artistschoice2009]

Anthony is such a nice, normal and great guy! No ego's just the love of making music. Great guy! I enjoyed the episodes.

[@davebassP5]

That ‘10% more’ brought a huge 100% smile to my face 😊

[@FFrrEEddRRiiKK1]

Without a doubt still the best pop album ever produced. Timeless in every sense.

[@synthnseq]

With all of his years of study and this final research, Doctor can now finally become Professor!

[@DjJay]

You know this guy has given his life to his craft when he doesn't even need to listen to the sound he is designing, he just twists knobs and flips switches being able to hear what each is doing to the sound in his head and the end result is pretty close to what he imagined it would sound like. It's like when you can hear what a sound is going to sound like after you EQ it without actually having to do the moves with the sound playing and when you can play it, its pretty close to where you want it.

[@nicobogue]

so happy you show anthony to your audience… I follow his channel since the beginning and he deserves to be known by a large audience !! you rock

[@jooei2810]

Yeah… Show Anthony… :)

[@danielortizdecaracas]

A two incredible amazing synth stars together

[@morganlundin5029]

To see Anthony program Synthezisers, knowing exactly where he is going, is for me as a sound and synth lover such a joy!. Theese videos you made with Anthony is among the best I have watched in a long time! Thank you so very much!! Thank you :)

[@DAIadvisor]

This is incredible. Someone who spends their entire life doing THIS. Absolutely mezmerizing to watch.

[@ThreeBeingOne]

I just read a breakdown of this album’s recording process. I’ll just say swedien was a genius, Quincy was a genius, Michael was a genius, all of whom worked their asses off for 8 weeks. Thank you all, foal achieved, music Industry invigorated still get chills. Production and execution masterclass. The masterclass of masterclasses actually

[@lamsior]

Rod Temperton was another genius.

[@jerryb.7021]

I wonder why there aren't more videos of you synth masters from the original albums sharing how you created the sounds of the 80s songs. There must be thousands of musicians who would love to know how Madonna's 80s synth sounds were created, for example. I find it so entertaining and just plain fun. Thank you Mr. Marinelli for allowing us to get into a time machine and taking us back into the studio with you. I see so many forums where musicians want to know which synthesizer was used for a particular song and all we can do is take a guess.

[@gbkny1]

This is pure D GOLD. There is a reason for a Minimoog. There is a reason for a Prophet 5. There is a reason for a OB 8. And there is a reason for an ARP 2600. You just have to know when your able to work with their limitations or try another synth. Love it. This guy is showing us how to produce. This info is invaluable.

[@patrickhoveling]

This is weird. Seeing the master being educated by the GrandMaster. My god. Can it get any better?

[@xlat808]

An expert meets a master. 😮

[@AznPhatty]

I don't know what the heck they are talking about with all the knobs, but damn I'm soaking it all in. Love this look at all the different sounds that make up the song and how they were created. and it's a shame that Anthony only has 55K subs. So much knowledge and insight into the songs we all love.

[@HaharuRecords]

Man, he just started yotibe yesterday, eventhough he is not from this era...

[@AnalogX64]

This series is a treat and I'm just amazing how Anthony can remember how to re-create these sounds after all these years 💖💖💖

[@LogiForce86]

Maybe it is because he is methodical about it and applies logic to his sound creation. As can be seen in how he explains his sound creation procedure in this video, for him it was and has been a step by step process knowing the properties of each part of the synthesizer and then using it to build sounds.

[@HTech123]

It's probably not the first time he get asked these questions. Great show, Doctor!

[@SayyyyyWhat]

Anthony knows these synths & synthesis inside and out! Incredible musical knowledge..thanks for this video Dr. Mix!!!

[@petercarrington948]

This is an education. Two great minds here. Doctor Mix is a humble musician willing to learn new stuff.❤️

[@drsamurai009]

A Minimoog is a very simple instrument control-wise, but sounds so good. You just know Anthony knows the Mini inside and out when he blindly dials in the settings of the chorus call back riff and it sounds spot-on! That is synth patch programming at it's best.

[@ischmidt]

I've re-learned how to program synths from watching Anthony's videos. He's so good at explaining why he does what he's doing, and his interview with you was awesome. This is the greatest collab on KZbin right now, maybe ever.

[@johnsch8634]

Great colab, Doctor Mix has the over the top charisma and Marinelli with his experience and knowledge with big hit records.

[@HustonSingletary]

Complete brilliance on all levels. Sir Anthony shows how it's done, period!

[@ellavaderknows]

Anthony is the Mozart of synths. Just an amazing episode, Claudio! Bravo!

[@BillVincent]

Yet another thank you to both of you for this video! I just can't understate how much respect I have for Anthony's work and his willingness to share his secrets with us in this synth nerd corner of YT. And there just isn't anyone quite like Dr. Mix! Rock on, and thanks again!

[@silverfoils]

It's so great to see you loving every second of this experience Dr. M. Like a kid in a sweet shop. Happy for you.

[@e-conrecords4665]

Anthony is a genius. I’ve been watching his videos for a few months now with so many ‘ahah’ moments. I rave about his videos to just about anyone who will listen.

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

Priceless. Absolutely priceless. I mean it, you can't pay for shit like this, it can only be given.

[@acousticbutler]

I went to Berklee in the early 90s. And I got to learn from some of the guys who worked with Pearlman and Moog. This is the best lesson in subtractive synthesis I’ve had in the last 30 years. Thank you!

[@Lo-FiOrchestra]

This is the best channel on KZbin. It's not just about music and learning. This is a great source of inspiration (at least for me). Dr. Mix is so happy with synthesizers that I can’t even envy him)) Thank you very much for this joy, knowledge and inspiration! ❤

[@davebellamy4867]

Have you subbed to Anthony's channel? It's epic good.

[@danclark745]

Jeez, never thought I'd be sitting on the edge of my seat watching a synth programming video...but gotta say that was "Thrilling"!

[@Scottjazz55]

These world masters are QUITE a pair. Their personalities, knowlege of their craft, are each off the charts. And when they play off each other, both with only their love for music (no ego trips here at all) it is a real treat.

[@royevans4581]

Watching Anthony explain how thriller was created is like witnessing creation itself. It's God like. Thriller was my childhood. Thriller was the very definition of cool for me. This is amazing. Thank you doc!

[@herberdth]

The Jedi and the Padawan. Love both.

[@synthorswim]

Oh Wow! This is so great to watch these 2 creative minds talking and working together.... and dialing in these iconic sounds from these vintage synths!

[@Itsmy2cent]

“Come on, let’s get demonetized together”. Lol keeping it 💯. Love them 2 breaking down stuff from different perspectives

[@mickricereto8012]

These sessions are pure gold. Anthony is really showing off the ARP too, what a beast it is, but not as well known to the larger audience 😎

[@craiglaycock759]

Wow, this is incredible. Thank you for bringing us into the studio.

[@royceferguson]

Goodness, such a world class deep dive into synthesis principles, interwoven with incredible musical instincts and an underlying desire to recreate a musical masterpiece. Simply amazing to experience you two wonderful pros coming together. Anthony's "let's come up to where the music lives" along with the linear exploration is the icing on the cake. Spectacular! ✨

[@Rondo2ooo]

I follow videos of you both, but having you together in one video, nerding around, is just awesome!

[@5on-of-Fire]

Wow! Anthony is a genius. The way he programs the synth blind, knowing how the sound is going to output without touching the keyboard! Incredible.

[@planespeaking]

New to knowledge of Anthony but his love of sound is so infectious and so self-effacing.

[@marinerecords58corshagwen]

Thank you both for this fascinating video, we learn so much with a teacher like Anthony. I'm not a Michael Jackson fan, but Off The Wall and Thriller are really 2 musical gems. Anthony understands synthesizers, knows music, orchestration, he is a true master.

[@schwarzerrogen930]

I learned more about synthbass design in 10 minutes than I have in 10 years of YT/experimenting.

[@olopstudio]

This behind the scene is amazing. Awesome, thanks for this present! 🎁 🎹

[@polkmusic]

This was so cool. Thriller is such an iconic track. Great to hear how the sounds were made.

[@JohnMoser66]

This was superb!! Bravo to both of you. :-) One of my fav albums ever.

[@DiegoooTech]

I'm amazed. Thank Dr Mix that was more tehn something. Huge respect for Marinelli.

[@Z-RoonDeWinter]

This is incredible, I subscribed to this channel the minute I saw the video about the 'Thriller' reconstruction. Although I studied Jazz Guitar in Antwerp, I became obsessed with the synthesizers, and wanted to reconstruct these sounds with the Arturia softsynths as well (still have no clue of how synthesizers work by the way 😅). A few months later my jaws dropped when mr Anthony Marinelli began to explain the actual process of the way he programmed the beats and sounds. So I send an email to Doctor Mix to point that out, and to my surprise Claudio was so kind to answer. Such a great and down to earth person. And now these two are actually sitting in a room, discussing music and passing their knowledge. I just love how both of them are into their craft and willing to educate each and everyone of us with that level of passion.

[@youngsenior2175]

Fantastic Doctor Mix! Wow, Anthony knows his synths very well. Also a great fan of Greg P. Regards from the Netherlands.

[@Christian-vj5up]

Damn, im thinking of getting into the whole analogue synth world (finally) but i dont own any heavily patterned collarshirts :(

[@drhoffman]

Claudio thank you for sharing this life stones, life marking moments, I lack for words but meeting your hero and becoming good friends with him it just marks anybody. Not everybody is so lucky to live this. Like guitar players they fight and envy each other and talk shit about one another instead of sharing their techniques and secrets. This is so cool and inspiring I am so happy for you and I'M SURE you will get to know a befriend Quincy too. I was very very lucky to meet my hero early in my career and he invited me to his home and to his studio and teach me a few things in one day I will ever cherish in my life. I stayed in his home for two days making music and we became good friends, later he came to my home and spent more time together in my house making music in my humble little studio setup. This are truly the best times one can have and cherish for life!!!

[@csm0772]

As a non musician I love hearing these little pieces being picked out. Things I'd never noticed before in the song... fantastic.

[@KatieWilliams1990x]

I've been really looking forward to this. Only a couple of minutes in and I'm already loving it 😂🙌

[@korolchukpp]

This awesome, man!

[@longfade]

What a treat! That minimoog ‘answer’ line is now my favorite part of the song. Just awesome.

[@robsargent8611]

Fantastic work guys it’s amazing how you can see through the sounds individually then put it all together 🤔😀👍

[@steamkenny4385]

I'm loving these recent videos, so interesting!

[@tricevid]

So interesting guys, thanks for doing this! Hugs from Italy to both!

[@juliancroot]

I'm going to have to revisit my version after this. I love listening to Anthony, he brings a very chilled vibe while staying enthusiastic.

[@ICanFixThat2]

So glad you guys got together! two geniuses!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@RetrocosmNet]

Watching a master at work like this, the ease with which he targets in on the sound he needs is just joyful and deeply impressive. Thank you for this video, I've watched it over and over again. The enthusiam is infectious.

[@gingerfreak01]

Brilliant. So good. Thanks for asking the questions we wanted answering Doc, and thanks to Anthony for answering them.

[@bcj842]

20:57 "Color". Good way to say it. Synthesizers are a lot like a palette where you mix your color before painting it onto the track with the keys. 😊

[@implayingsomebass4753]

This was such a great video! It's amazing to see the nuts and bolts of a blockbuster song like this with people that were a part of creating such a classic!

[@toondequant7400]

Here before it happened

[@Doctormix]

Yeah baby !

[@mollyandmaxx]

The technical details they are talking about is way over my head, but some how it’s fascinating! Sheer brilliance.

[@twoscoops2]

Love the videos of the two of you geeking out :D

[@miketaylor247]

Amazing creativity from both of these gentlemen. True genius.

[@magicknight8412]

So cool. This is priceless , to see exactly how the sounds were done. So good to see and hear.

[@omelaurus]

So much knowledge! You two bouncing off each other.. a joy to watch!

[@bio-metric-1016]

Fantastic video clever tips from a classic era still got it

[@justinwillismusic]

Amazing. Fantastic to watch. Thank you dr mix

[@ave-d5x]

ahhhhh, thank you. How genius these people are!!!

[@HrWisch]

Fun fact - the Behringer Model D / Poly D Clones of the Minimoog can switch the note priority and retrigger function. So you could play the bass line legato like in the original on those synths (while still missing the pulse with modulation). I wonder if Moogs own re-issues like the Voyager and the new Model D now also have that feature (which most modern day analog synths thankfully do).

[@RayyMusik]

I have a Poly D, which is in fact more versatile than the original Minimoog, but also a Behringer 2600. The latter blows the Poly D out of the water.

[@dynamiketiger]

Thanks for this, love this!

[@djicebreaker80]

Another great interview with Anthony, MJ was truly one of kindest person & legend in music be, as I find fascinating, I respect how much time goes into a track the creative side, people don’t know how much time energy goes into a track, if you watch this and story behind it, people would know if you are truly a fan, thank you 🙏 i have learned alot

[@archieyanson2650]

I sooo love watching and learning something from borh of you.😊❤ What a joy of inspiration watching 2 brilliant musicians sharing their knowledge on their common passion for music.(modern electronic)❤

[@AndrewLeSynt]

5:34 I have so much learned just from this vid 😂😂😂😂 thank you guys! greetz from switzerland

[@penthousepet]

this video was amazing thank you

[@rosalindwebb7729]

Thank you for sharing. Anthony ❤ loved the way you explained the whole sound that you had made thriller famous for.

[@JOSEPHXsMusic]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is so much fun to watch!

[@MaxFury_Official]

I hope everyone new to do the game of production takes notice. This IS a classic example. So many places on the internet were you can read comments like "It's just a supersaw you can do that with any synth". No, you can't. All synths have their own characteristics. If you want a certain sound, you have to use the same synthesizer or you can only if lucky get remotely close! It's always bothered me when people say that "It's just a square or a saw", now you can see it live from the 'Thriller master himself' admitting he can't get it right on another synth!

[@EncounterCaneCorso]

Anthony is amazing. His synth knowledge is next level 💯

[@mikosoft]

They did stack synths on top of synths but not just to make a wall of sound, every layer done with a purpose. That's what makes the difference between an okay arrangement and a great arrangement. These videos are a gold mine of knowledge that wasn't available just a couple of years ago.

[@galaxeer]

Let us always be aware what a genius Michael Jackson was and how he inspired so many ladies and gentlemen in order to create such incredible music for us. ..thank you all who contributed with their hearts and souls...❤❤❤ And thanks to Claudio and Anthony who made me think about it ....peace

[@Afrorack]

Ya he even came up with some parts for guitars by singing them to the players

[@jakefisher8788]

Thank you Claudio !!

[@fragilegods]

This was a master class. Excellent!

[@786itube]

Two master craftsman at work.Also supremely talented, yet so humble. I’d pay for this

[@KordTaylor]

ANOTHER great video and I love the guest angle. More please! ❤

[@Itachi52496]

Bro I saw your Bass explanation looking for the specific trill over the bass you mentioned in that video

[@ColtraneAndRain]

I know NOTHING about the tools, technology or techniques but I do enjoy watching the creative process! Thank you for sharing this with the world. 🌎❤

[@furiobisotti8150]

Very thrilling story. I love the 2600 sound. It's incredibly punchy and rich. Claudio, have you ever thought of testing cheap clones of that monster? Marinelli is a giant, he is so fast and straight editing sounds, a master

[@JayNoodles]

The bass on the final version of the song is a Jupiter 8………….there is track sheets that prove this.

[@andrewverran3498]

They both are LOVING IT.❤❤

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

@13:30 widely used on Stevie Wonder Synth lines that walk up

[@izikshtemer]

Great interview, thank you both.

[@kfunkenstein864]

This is such a kick @$$ video. Fascinating, historical, educating and entertaining. Simply wonderful. Thank you for this Anthony and Claudio. Bravo Gentleman!

[@stillphil]

It's ALL about phrasing. The phrasing of the sound design and articulation and the phrasing of the player...that makes it timeless.

[@GeorgesChannel]

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing your knowlegde...please do more of it!
