The bass is really low in the mix on the original. This song is all about the vocals and that screaming organ with its crazy octave jump that still grabs my attention 30 years later.

@PointBlankMusicSchool 7 месяцев назад

@@AutPen38 You can hear with the stem separation that the AI struggled to separate/isolate the bass for that very reason.

Neal is a very good friend of mine. Just before the song was about to be released he used to play it at a local college campus club he DJed for. It was an instant hit!!! I often tell him that this song is the gift that keeps on giving.

@TayWoode 8 месяцев назад

For anyone who bothers to read this since no one ever reads my comments, some of the rhythm on the original that starts at 13:26 is a sample from the start of Talking heads - “Seen and not seen” that’s sped up, there’s also another drum loop with a finger snap and the 808 cowbell

@skioakenfull 8 месяцев назад

I’m reading this and thanks!! Amazing insight.. I’ll definitely check that out 😊

@@skioakenfull I had a go at recreating this a year ago - but i couldn't properly figure out the M1 Organ cords until I saw your video - thanks! Would be interested to see wht you think of my version - it was done in Cubase 12 Pro with Roland Cloud VSTs and the Korg M1 VST

@AutPen38 7 месяцев назад

The Talking Heads sample was mentioned on the WhoSampled page for the Crystal Waters song years ago, but the link was mysteriously was removed. Ironically, David Byrne actually released a cover version of 'Gypsy Woman' in about '94 and it's as bonkers as you'd expect.

Listening to these tracks make me imagine myself sitting in a bedroom-sized studio with a rack full of early romplers (Proteus I and II!), a good sampler in the corner, a MOTU MTP flashing along, loads of diskettes with samples in neatly tucked drawers, a nice analog 32-chan mixer, some open-reel 1/4 inch 2-track recorder, possibly a Tascam MS8 or 16, a Tascam 122 mk2 cassette recorder, two boxes of UX tapes (one unopened), and as the centerpiece of the studio a beautiful and cute Macintosh IIci or a IIfx running MOTU Performer 6 displaying on it's tiny 14-inch Apple Monitor. I so much want a setup like that. Hearing early 90s music brings me back to that era. I can smell it (early 90s smell like a brand-new box of 3.5 diskettes being opened).

@skioakenfull 8 месяцев назад

That is a beautiful image. My early setup was an Atari ST, Akai S3000, Mackie 32 channel 8 Bus, Quadraverb, Korg 01/W, SH-101 etc.. amazing times ❤

@alobosk 8 месяцев назад

@@skioakenfull I loved the Mackie 32-8!!! I’ve got pictures! I actually was an Amiga user (Bars & Pipes Pro), but I always wanted a Mac. I couldn’t afford it then. I can’t complain about a nice Mac now with Logic or Luna.
