[SynthManiaDotCom]

@HOOKSnKISSES you made me LOL - I love that movie :-D

[Hot80s]

more miami vice/ hammer-style w/o covering old tracks. Like this one i prefer your creativity.

[soundmanhaven1]

wow awsome love it nice sounds very clear :)

[gracified24]

Unfortunately that mixer has been discontinue. That sucks. Do you know another other one that are within your mixer range with at least same audio quality if not better?

[SynthManiaDotCom]

@gracified24 I'm not sure, but I think Yamaha n8 / n12 got good reviews and they seem to currently be the only digital mixers around the original prices of the Rolands

[JVGmidi]

nice! that drummachine looks business

[1soulblues]

grandissimo

[photosynthesi]

Spettacolo :)

[astralislux]

Wow. Just wow.

[gracified24]

why does your recording sound so good? I have an Mbox2 interface with it's own digi asio driver and it doesn't even sound that clear.. WTH! If i may ask: what interface are you using? thanks.

[SynthManiaDotCom]

@gracified24 I have two setups - one with mixer and SSL Alpha Link MADI, and one mixerless with M-Audio Profire 2626. I typically use those two interfaces and sometimes an Apogee Duet2 and a little Roland mixer. For this video I believe I used the M-Audio 2626

[gracified24]

@SynthManiaDotCom Thanks! And that's all live your playing it live? No mixing? I hear the music like its been mixed already. Did you add effects to it while playing? Correct me if 'wrong because I'm having a hard time acheiving similar result with my Mbox2.

[SynthManiaDotCom]

@gracified24 It's all played live. The real time effects are reverb and compression, IIRC from a Roland M-10DX

[gracified24]

@SynthManiaDotCom Wow! I did a youtube search on the Roland mixer and they sound really good. I might have to pick one up. So if I want to connect my Fantom G to it I could right? 

[bhorv67]

Jan would approve

[dxmat]

Jewel synths. Still shine.

[armalyte]

This is excellent work and would have been a great edition back in the day.

[synthartist69]

Another great video by synthmania!

[ojay2001]

awww. Linn Drum. Always wanted one, never could afford one. So i got myself a crappy Drumtracks from Secuential. Horrible Firmware, i can stell you. Crashes on stage with data loss and such - not the type of things you want to encounter. :-)

The Synth sounds are beautiful and the arrangement does exactly what you say :-) great piece, dude! 

[FContreras85]

Such a brilliant masterpiece.

[sistkey]

muy bueno!!! excelente ambiente

[kalindo]

Great stuff! Very sad in that palm-beach-bare-feet-white-tux­edo-at-sundown kind of way. The music should really be called "Crockett all sad and alone", like you said :)

[braintentacle]

Chord progression please?

[UBIQUEROL]

More Miami Vice-esk stuff please!

[noirsociety]

amazing track!!!

[titansteam]

Soo deep ambiance!

[MrPhil996]

superbe trés bien interprété :)

[xbase09]

the drum sequencing realy nails the vibe. :) respect!

[PukkatronicAllstars]

great work!

[TheKurgan]

Brilliant!!

[pHr33kAcHu]

This is beautiful! Awesome! :3

[pipoll1]

molt bo

[TheSynthFreq]

Nice!!! :)

80s awesomeness!! 

[Sjobeck7]

The only thing that this demo is lacking is that it didn't go on forever... Wow! This is so fun to watch and to listen to!!!

[900GTi]

You should've brought out your Fairlight for this

[marsupialmicron]

This is great, thanks for sharing!

[stephenericwalsh]

That's fantastic. I love it. Is it available for download? All the best.

[balletcomposer]

This is great. I love your stuff. Keep it up!

[dilliot2k]

Screw miami vice. Give me a Jean Claude Van Damme Martial arts montage.

[hustletv]

Old School is the Best School. You would have to pry anything Roger Linn out my cold dead hands!

[siddeffects]

Amazing, truly beautiful!!!

[Barelinio]

Very beautiful! Could be from the Tangerine Dream "Underwater Sunlight" album. Or a Miami Vice soundrack :) Pure 80s mood, wonderful!

Cheers!

[gemo1986]

very good! you're the new jan hammer!

[1314matt]

That's awesome! You have a LinnDrum? Now that's a rarity! :D Chords? :)

[SPAZZOID100]

@1314matt

The PPG is the rare piece here...not the linn.

[Stue007]

Well done, nice 80's sounds

[UnchainTheNight1]

Rad indeed. I'd like to see some Fairlight and LinnDrum combinations in future.

[SynthManiaDotCom]

@UnchainTheNight1 Will do :)

[UnchainTheNight1]

@SynthManiaDotCom Awesome, I'll look forward to it.

[gunssheeps]

so rad

[SynthManiaDotCom]

@gunssheeps thanks :)

[spontaneous09]

@gunssheeps yes....definitely very rad!
