I love this guy... entertaining, informative and generally all round nice guy. Great!
Dude has a headlight, AND a flashlight to do this. Instasub.
First person to spot the Easter Egg in the video get's an epic mystery gift!
Drop a comment when you see it!
I hope it's not just my eyes betraying me. Was it the Demogorgon distorting the wall again at 5:30 ?
Is it to obvious to recognize it?
I think I have examined every pixel by now... haha
YES! Hugh our video guy did it and wondered if people would notice well spotted :).
Same phenomenon at 7:40
ThinkSpace Education Props to Hugh then! Brilliantly done!
Excelent video, like always. Really creative and fun!!!
Love your clip Guy!! keep it up!!
Thanks for doin the comparison. Great video
Cool video!thanks a lot!
brilliantly executed
Brilliant comparison!
great video!
I think you are brilliant. Your hard work is appreciated.
Thank you!
Good job telling people to use a saturation plugin. For me I even have a external compressor. I send my vst occasionally thru that unit back into my soundcard with a DI converter. It also gives a more natural feeling of using a external synth. If you have the opertunaty to send your vst signal outside your soundcard and back in you also got the effect. ✌🏼peace
Haha Love when the lights flicker. lol nice video.
I find it interesting that you didn't even mention sample libraries of analog synths. An entirely other option with their own pluses and minuses.
That's very true but to be honest if I want an analogue synth sound, I would go to a dedicated virtual instrument. It just gives you more control if you want to tweak things.
Wow .. you actually got me to watch something about synths x,D .. it must be the fancy flashing lights that captivated me haha.
think both hardware and software work and sound, great. mostly like, the older composers already own the hardware gear from years back, but for a new composer affordable software is more convenient and portable.
Guy - to give a true comparison at 6:25 you should loudness match as louder is mostly perceived as better. Fun video though :-)
Nice little insight, enjoyed that ;-)
I came to this channel from a Phonec 2 demo and could have sworn that some of the sounds in Stranger Things are from Phonec. Then again, many ways to achieve this kind of sound.
He is definitely in the vibe
Please try the official Roland Cloud Jupiter 8 (Analog Circuit Behaviour modelled) and remember to adjust the condition knob a little so it doesn't sound too clean.
As a car enthusiast I love that analogy Guy 🔥
I've never seen guy this excited with sample libraries :D
I've found i can get almost any vintage sound using thor which comes with reason, to make it sound analog just have separate lfos - or even better use a chaos generator to modulate each individual oscillator and filter slightly to give that detuned phasing sound, then just pass it through a saturator. The rest is all effects, pretty much. I think theres a stranger things refill hanging around as well with all the sounds built using reason devices!
That sounds like a great workflow.
Sometimes I like to run software synths through external hardware effects processors. It can add some warmth & character. Sometimes I also like to layer software & hardware synths. That can also sound pretty cool, too.
It's quite easy to compare side by side digital and analog synths and to hear some differences, but once used in a track, mixed, equalized, with other instruments, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference.
Here is a vst/analog test to know if you can tell the difference ! (15 synths tested), Will you find the Analog Synths ? It's hard ! czcams.com/video/-R3rTs7_Lww/video.html
Exactly mate! Or in the virtual realm you can use 6 korg ms-20's all arpeggiating various sequences around each other at once. Wouldn't dream of being able to ever do that in the real world haha
@@onelittleatlas5645 6 MS 20 is not so expensive (about $2500 for MS 20 new mini series), half the price of a good minimalistic eurorack... But for sure it is far cheaper to do it with VST :-)
The comparison is even more incredible, when you use for example 10 instances of the Arturia Synclavier, each one being about $200,000 at time !
2 million dollars on the screen, that's the magic of digital world... But will you have the same pleasure than just one real Synclavier in your studio ? not sure !
Guy always reminds me of Ray Cokes and his Most Wanted show back in the 90's :)
Anyway, on topic: I wanted to mention the following synths that also deliver the goods when it comes to emulating the analogue sound, for anyone interested: U-he synths Diva (Modeled after Moog's Minimoog, Roland's Jupiter 6, Jupiter 8, Alpha Juno and Juno 60, and Korg's MS20), Repro-1(Modeled after Pro-One) and Repro-5 (Modeled after Prophet 5) coming out soon. And then of course there's also The Legend from Synapse Audio modeled after the Moog Minimoog.
Love Uhe - Diva is enormous. I've been watching Repro as well which looks very promising
Which program you use for the digital keyboards?
The Computer is the ultimate synthesizer. It can create any kind of sound possible and use all 3 types of electronic sound synthesis(additive, subtractive, distortion). As well as physical modeling to simulate acoustic instruments. But to make it work in real time, you need parallel processing as well as a watchdog timer circuit to make sure it does not lock up during a recording session or during a performance!
The thing is in a song/composition made of different tracks no one would be able to tell the difference or almost impossible plus digital is getting so good that is starting to have its own particular sound rather than trying to imitate the analog... I own both as working on a piece of hardware with real knobs and faders the whole sound designing becomes an experience on its own, real fun. I find now very frustrating to work on synth sounds with a bloody mouse...just can't stand it. I find easier to get the sound i want off on analog.... Would be amazing if all those companies making soft synths could create the relative midi controller for the soft synth they release, then just wow...
I think you ROCK ! I really enjoyed the Atmosphere and learned deep Knowledges (not to mention the extra downloads).Many Thanks and please don't you stop spreading this Love. Best regards. KB
If you can tell the difference it's usually because the analog synths are in disrepair/old and quirky.
Even the 5 dollar Minimoog app from Moog sounds like Hardware.
P900 (mac only modular synth) sounds even better than hardware :)
U-he Repro is amazing too.
Yeah, even a lot iOS apps sounds like Hardware (Zeeon f.e.)
It’s the inaccuracies in analog that give it the soul. I own a deep mind, and the oscillators are rock solid, it’s 2017 tech after all and an all digital Waldorf. But when I need to make a sound, there’s nothing like that tactile feeling. Whether it’s analog or digital isn’t really a thing (especially in a mix). But pressing buttons and twirling knobs has that unique creative trigger.
Hey where are sounds of roland to compare? ;(
That's the first stuff I played then the Arturia then the U-He. I have to say this poor old MKS80 has sat in a cupboard for YEARS and until I plugged it in I had forgotten how good it sounds.
I am in a mine :)
I think everyone should enjoy freedom of choice of whether or not to involve vst synths hardware or sampled instruments in their work for any reason they see fit. I have recently exhumed a JV 2080 and a JP 8080 from my archive of forgotten things …..they both blow me away sonically where’s as to my ears some of the other bygone instruments I posses really don’t compare sonically and are less user friendly than some modern VST versions …so for me and for you if you can ….its pick and mix . One thing is clear to me and that is if you are trying emulate real world instruments with synth VSTs or hardware synths , just about anything other than certain types of piano will challenge you with a difficult journey … maybe so even if your lucky to own one of the latest modeled instruments. Have fun 🙏🙏🏿👍
At the moment you can get a Jupiter 50 around €800, bargain of the century.
3000 is very expensive. Plenty of vintage analog synths out there for a fraction of the price and they all sound better than software.
Darth Synthious care to name?
Weasel, the Roland JX series to name a few. There are plenty others under $1000.
You should have compared like platforms. Not a software Jupiter 8 vs an mks. They are very different in itself. Rendering the comparison invalid.
El Conejo Blanco slightly different, but same VCO chips and same IR309 VCFs.
Does this room not have any lights? Lol
Why is he wearing a headlamp and a using a hand torch instead of nice even video lighting? I guess times are hard.
With care a hardware synth will last decades. Software; not so much.
Also, you can sell a hardware synth if you don't use it anymore.
Too much talk:)
