THIS NOW IS MY FAVORITE RU-vid CHANNEL EVER!!! All songs from my favorite bands and musicians that I love are being covered by you such as Duran Duran, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, Alphaville, etc. Man, I love you so much and this channel! :D
dude, i just have to say that.... after a long week of hard work in the office, i just like it so much to sit down laid back with a nice littel cold bottle of becks and listen to and watch your vids. thanks a lot for the all good leisure times in front of my screen. :)
I don't use to reply these kind of comments, anyway calyx: 1- You can comment anything, in a respectful way. All tech comments are welcome. 2- Everybody can upload here what they want and how they want, not what you want. 3- The snare I used in this track is an E-mu SP-12 one, previously sampled into an Emax. and 4- Don't be critic for free. Record this same track and show it to us. Best way to appreciate your skills. Thank you calyx.., or Steamy Vicks.
You have amazing skills ignore any haters...I play and sing on piano and always fool around with arrangements...make it my own style and different...like freddie mercury said who wants to sit in the crowd and hear the same version of the record...
Fine if this is just an improvisation... but since Cars is in the key of A Major, the Moog ending outro is where the song goes back into that key. Cheers!
When I listen to "Cars" it sounds to me that out of the last 2 A bass line notes, the last one is played an Octave lower. D-Db-G-A-A-(A octave lower). But that would be very tricky to play with one hand.
@Trinigoth I had the same problem. Definitely clean the switch & volume fader.I have to occasionally push that switch as far as I can towards H for it to work correctly. three things that will help. 1.) decrease the volume settings on DCO1 or to 2. If one is at full, turn the other one down to 50% 2.) Turn down the VCA. This usually solves 90% of my problems with the JX-8P 3.) Clean the brass strip under the keys if you're aftertouch isn't working or you have to punch the keys extremely hard.
Mate..that is a superb job...going to have a bash at this...I'm a piano player never learnt any synth based stuff..just got myself a roland fa06...so will see what I can do on that
@ThatBloke01 I checked out a couple of his videos and he does gets really close to the Vox Humana sound on Cars. However, I think I can get a little bit closer using my Oberheim OB-Xa. The Polymoog is such a unique instrument. (ie each preset has special built filters) that it is almost impossible to duplicate its sound exactly.. (Jessup's patch tips are good, but they aren't entirely correct. For example, I agree that Osc 1 is a sawtooth wave, but OSC 2 should be a thin pulse instead.)
Hello Jon.: You will find the keyboards used on this video in the video description. I also own three Yamaha DX (DX7, DX7II FD and DX27S). Best regards...DX5
@Trinigoth It is a common fault on those JX. Move the switch several times from L to H (or apply some contact cleaner on it). Audio is directly routed trhough that switch. Any small particle of dust can break the sound. Enjoy the JX, is a great machine. DX5
Wow! You sound great!!! The synthesizer is perhaps the most amazing instrument invented. I agree with the poster below me; Gary should hire you to play for him.
I really like this alot...I think i need a hobby..I was looking into buying a Korg R3 with a Vocoder to have some fun with..But this is a very good version of Cars..Good Job Man!
Possibly the best song ever~~~!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME...... This and Visage -Fade to Grey amongst the first songs i EVER purchased... VINYL!!! 45rpm..... OOOOOOOOOLD SKOOL
I just picked up a jx 8p and am recording into Pro Tools as well. I had a quick question about recording, do you have the "level" switch on the back of the jx 8p set to low, medium, or high when you record? All my levels are set correctly but the jx 8p still sounds somewhat harsh whereas yours sounds nice and smooth
