The Buggles Video Killed the Radio Star - cover

WOW! - this is an amazing mix and effort to get that all sounding so sweet in Record. really, well done!! Did you have the notation/score for the tracks, .. or you worked it all out by ear .?

[EditEd4TV]

@istefk - this is all by ear, thanks, glad you like it!

[istefk]

@EditEd4TV .. yep not just "all ear", there is some awesome understanding and musicality awareness that you 'just have', a talent. great stuff, I have listened to your other stuff and like that too ..

.. can I ask, are/can you share your ".rec" project files out? either way, will be looking out and listening to your work. Cheers, /Stef

[EditEd4TV]

@istefk - I never took care of all the details with selling the files legally, so right now I can't. :(

[Meteotrance]

woaw great job dude, im also speechless du to the quality of the mixing, did you used some special combinator trick for an analog tape warm style ? im using a lot pulveriser now for that kind but if you get some trick for using low cpu usage module, im interest.

[EditEd4TV]

@Meteotrance - thank for the compliments! There really is no secret to what I did, nothing is hidden, no magic Combinator adding analog warmth, it's just the patch design, the effects, the EQ I applied (minimal tweaking if I recall correctly), and that's about it. At 2:22 you can see I have an RV7000 which is used globally for a bit of reverb on certain synths, and below the RV7000 is a Maximizer, just to give the audio a final push without clipping. That's all I got, no secrets, honestly.

[EditEd4TV]

@Meteotrance - oh, just to clarify, that Final Max sits between the Master Section Master Outputs (left/right) and the Hardware Interface Audio I/O Audio Output 1 and 2 (left/right). Some people place the maximizer as an insert effect on the master buss, and by default I think the M-Class devices are in there already (Equalizer, Stereo Imager, Compressor, Maximizer, in that order) but I either bypass those or delete them, and keep the Final Max on the outside so I can see it working.

[redchant]

How did you get the vocals on there, Ed? Did you isolate with eq or get stems?

[EditEd4TV]

@redchant - they were recreated by myself and my friend, we just recorded them on our own, then added the proper effects.

[MODEST5WILL]

This is a remix not a cover you sexy beast

[EditEd4TV]

@MODEST5WILL - I don't know, I guess it depends on how you define a cover, and how you define a remix. To me, a remix means you take elements/stems from the original version and add/subtract layers to make an entirely new version. A cover is a complete recreation of the original, from the ground up, all parts recorded new. That's what I did here - a cover, not a remix. Well, at least by my interpretation of cover vs. remix. Sexy beast... lol. :)

[mikosoft]

This is extremly close to original

[musiccog]

Great work.

May I ask what bass you are using here?

[EditEd4TV]

@musiccog - there are 2 bass patches in this song (well, at least in this cover version I did): the fretless bass is the "J Fretless Bass" patch from the Reason Factory Soundbank processed through the M-Class Compressor and a DDL-1, and the other bass is also from the Factory SoundBank, "FingerBass 1.0" through an M-Class Compressor and the Scream 4 Distortion.

An more extensive music program do not exist!

[TheMeanSgtPlaysPiano]

WOOT, VICE CITY.

[TheMeanSgtPlaysPiano]

Dude, this is like identical to the real song LMAO good job, mate!

[JrBeatBoy]

Niceeee

[TWMusicBerlin]

is the piano made with a cp-80 and chorus? or are there more effects to it?

[EditEd4TV]

@TWMusicBerlin It's a layered combination of factory soundbank NN-XT CP80 going through a CF-101 chorus, as well as the NN-XT "A" grand piano from the factory soundbank. Both are mixed together and given a bit of RV7000 hall reverb.

[TWMusicBerlin]

@EditEd4TV ok thx, it really sounds magic^

[thewakz]

Do a Gary Numan song next plz! (but not Cars)

[EditEd4TV]

@thewakz - haha... well, I actually have "Cars" almost completed for the 80's band "The Retromaniax", we should get that into the rotations on our gigs soon.

[fallingmanuk]

This is great - will be a real help when I try and learn it for my 80s tribute band! :-)

[EditEd4TV]

@fallingmanuk - do you have Propellerheads Record?

[fallingmanuk]

@EditEd4TV Yes I do - how did you guess? ;-)

[Koshdukai]

Impressive! :)

...as usual ;)

[pilgrimomega]

i would have loved if you had done the soft coda fade out but i know it doesn't work so well live. ;)

[deanc2000]

Incredible! It sounds BETTER than the origina.

[Sooper8]

Nice work! Not only on the track but the 'video' work..enjoyable to watch for me as a user of Reason/Record

Respect

[manolismoumouzias]

[MrBrandonPeoples]
