I think interesting electronic music continued into the early to late 90s with bands like Electronic, the 80s sound had all but disappeared by then. I don't know about you but it seems like the sound of modern mainstream music beyond the late 90s hasn't really moved on very much at all, its the same type of sound and I've never really liked it.

@@StatetrooperBillyBill I didn't like the Euro Dance scene either, it was tacky and forgettable and sounds just as bad now. There were some decent electronic artists however like The Prodigy who had some real talent but a lot of the rave stuff wasn't that great either. Early drum and bass and 90s hiphop however was at its peak so it wasn't all bad. I like the late 60s, 70s and early to mid 80s.

So a Norwegian recreates, for a Greek, a song about nuclear war, sung in Spanish by two Italians. And an excellent recreation it is. 'Vamos a la playa' is a rather strange song. Like so many songs from the 1980s, it's not as innocuous as it at first appears.

This song was played at every cheesy discotheque for about two decades HARD in Greece. Around the same time….. my older cousins at the time (in their 20’s) used to call each other and ask “Pame sta barakia??” Which means “let’s go to the bars??” Every verse and chorus is an 80’s catch phrase about going to the bars…… bars where they would dance to this song. :)

The customer did a very wise and correct thing, by ordering the original instrumental, nothing can surpass them. Well done. I have heard only one cover in my life, that surpassed the original sound of the composition. This is Wolfgang Gartner's remake, of the original song by Tiësto - "I Will Be Here". Maestro Kraft, I wanted to ask you: how do you insert into your songs and rebuilds, the sound and individual effects, of instruments that you do not have? For example, in this video here, I see and hear that you used a Linndrum machine and, I think, an Arp synthesizer. It seems that you do not have them, in physical form. Are these VST plugins? They sound very high quality.
@EspenKraft
Ай бұрын
Thanks! Drums are easy, I use my custom Linndrum samples. I've had these for years. If I have to make a synth sound from a synth I don't have it's pretty easy to make that from another synth. I am a synth programmer after all and with 30+ years of experience that's not very difficult. Side by side, you'd hear the difference, but in the mix and as a whole it doesn't matter.

Great cover Espen. I'm curious, you bounce most if not all the midi from VST plugins to audio. Is there a practical reason for this? In these cases, what the audio allows that the midi does not? Or is it just to somehow "freeze" the result so it won't change because of plugin's potential idiosyncrasies or quirks.
@EspenKraft
Ай бұрын
I record some soft synths in real time, as audio. I record almost everything by hand, except bass and very fast arps which I midi first, then record or render out depending on if they come from hardware or a vst etc. It's much easier to work with audio than midi. Audio is tighter and the mix will be easier and faster. I've made many videos where I talk about this and show this in real time. Cheers
