I need to keep this in mind also! I remember in my road cycling days, dropping some guy on the hills the day he bragged about his new $1000 wheel set. My whole bike only cost $1000 but I left him in the dust because I did hill repeats on the worst hills I could find haha. And Lance Armstrong could have beat both of us on a $50 garage sale bike.

I should play this video on a daily basis so it can be the only one I watch everyday, instead of watching like 15 different synth demos thinking "I wish I had that." Of course there are synths that can do things other synths can't. My Pro 800 or Minilogue XD isn't going to sound as good as a Subsequent 37, but if a top notch producer used the 800 and XD, and I used a Subsequent 37, I'm pretty sure they'd wipe the floor up with me. *So that no one "points it out" I know the first two are poly and the third is mono. You get the idea though.

I think the big difference between realy good/experienced musicians/producers and people just starting out or hobbyists is that they know the sound they want and how to get it out of whatever gear they have in hand and people like me look to the gear to give us a sound. Great musicians make any gear sound good. I have a close friend that is a super talented guitar player and he's alway shredding on $200-300 guitars and old cheap amps and bargain bin pedals, and it always sound good.

Aaah fond memories. I started with a Fostex X15 4 track cassette and a Casio keyboard. Thought it was great when I got an Atari ST and Steinberg Pro 24 and a Roland D10. Great job on the track. I’d love to see more of these. Or how about an entire song done with only one cheap synth like the Behringer Pro800 and 8 tracks maximum? I got a Behringer Pro1 today and I’m trying to do a Berlin School track using only that and a DFAM. Such fun!

Speaking as somebody who was in his single-digit years when Madonna originally hit and enjoyed hearing songs like “Into the Groove” as they emerged into the public, someone who did not himself become a musician until the following decade and feels as though he missed out on participating in the glorious 80s, I should say that you nailed this approximation, Starsky. You’ve always had it, and I hope you keep making use out of it this way.

I love this kinda stuff. Super inspiring. Hell, I'd be down to see you try and create stuff with even cheaper gear. Building a classic song out of casios with effects, or a sampler with pocket operators or volcas, or just a single very budget synth, trying to make a crap synth sound good with clever tricks. I just want more content. And cheesecake. Anything with cheese really. I'm so hungry.

Great job Starsky!.. Sounds like there's a lot more going on in that track than there actually is. It's just the busy brass stabs and bass line that carries it on the drum track. Simple is definately best! I think we are spoiled these days with unlimited tracks, sounds, synths, and of adding too many parts to songs (me included) I'm learning to restrain myself 😂 lol.

Really good example of how creative we can be when we have limitations. Do we need a DAW with infinite tracks, or could we work with free versions limited to 8 tracks. That was a luxury in the 90s. I miss the old Tascam Portasudios and their like, having to think about the minimum number of bounces before the tape's floor came apparent.

@@rjbush7955 the other benefit of 4-track was having to do a demo version of each song in order to plan the bounces for the proper version. There were quite a few crap songs that never got beyond the initial demo unlike these days where everything is the "proper" version and we only realize it's crap way too late! 🤣

This is really great. One of the things I love about technology is the ability to extract acapellas from tracks without too much effort. When I started to do remixes and mashups back in the mid-2000's there was no way to extract anything with decent quality. Now it's a doddle.

That was great! I did something similar with Howard Jones Equality...mainly because I loved the thick Jupiter 8 lead and spent ages trying to get it as close as I could. I *think* the patch makes use of the J8 unison mode which spreads out the voices when more than one note is on. Fun stuff.

Great demo, mate! A guy who began in the 80s with a TR505 and an Alpha Juno can't be totaly bad! 😁. Add a TX81z, a second hand Torque spring reverb, a Boss BX16 mixin' desk and you get my setup in these times 😉 The sequencers varied, from a Yamaha QX21, an Alesis MMT8 and then, what a revolution! an AtariST+Notator. Yeah.
