Santa Claus Talkbox Special 2008!

[nuch1er]

best cover ever heard!! why arent you signed man....roger is up there smiling to hear this beast of a production....PROOO

[DragoArcobaleno7]

You're great!!!

[kazuhirohayubasa]

This is the best cover of this song out there.

[nycfunk]

The RTF song is..."Sorceress" From the Album "Romantic Warrior"

Ok...What did I win, What did I win! Moot, you are the best. I built my own talk box from you instructions. Now I just need to get a decent keyboard (lol). It works great on bass guitar too.

[mootbooxle]

@nycfunk Wow. You are great! Shhhhh don't tell anybody! And if they DO ask, I was paying HOMAGE, not PLAGIARIZING! If it wasn't for Chick, Stanley, Herbie, Miles, Zawinul, and a whole bunch of others, there'd be no me ;) Peace!!!!!

[TheCesarjackson]

wow...the music is perfect....do you create de music too right???

saludos desde mexico

[mootbooxle]

Thanks so much to everyone for your nice comments. I appreciate you watching my videos! God bless!

[XaleManix]

Middle of summer and I'm listening to Christmas Music... Moot, you are fantastic.

[keyboardplaya]

That funk toward the end kinda sounded like the synth solo in Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon."

[mootbooxle]

@keyboardplaya man, you nailed it! I was totally going for that tone.

[kazuhirohayubasa]

@mootbooxle at 2:35 it sounded like you said limted porn

[weezul]

oh, and I just read you played FRETLESS bass?!! MAD respect my friend. Love from england

weez x

[weezul]

mate, i know everyone loves you for your talkboxing but your arrangements are top notch, some beautiful subs. Peace,

Weez x

[davegipson]

Love it, my brother!

[F0nkyNinja]

Still listening to this. It's timeless, no matter the season.

The best part is that you really sound like you're having a blast, and this song and video still moves me to tears. Just keep it on the ONE, man.

[jeff21094]

FAG BITCH ASS PUNK ILY BYE =]

[knules2]

wtf

[zuvarian]

Super Matt!!!!!!!!

[artchel1]

this is cool :)

[SayYesToPhish003]

THIS SONG IS THE SHIT!!!!

[crasybumface]

holy smoke this is good! the only thing that could have been better is that the "voice" could have been louder... anyway this is really good!

[Sylarize]

Awesome, once again...love it :D You should make a Cd or somthing..ahaha id buy it...and adding the &fmt=18 does make it sound pretty good

[Hukler]

Damn wish i had a guitar when i was little... probably wouldve grown up a great musician like this guy xD

[alexandrevillain]

another great song...

[ferdinandocarlomagno]

Very rhythmical piece, executed with flair and personality of the musicians and the singer.

Very beautiful child guitarist. 5*

[psybernauta]

good work in the track

[TseeBaeng]

Moot, you're a sick writer. Awesome job,

[flash44]

i love you! haha

[cryglory]

dang m00t, you rawkin on dis song, im really impressed with your musical expression on this, its kinda sick that you are playing everything, im looking into jumpin on the talkbox train and getting in with keys.... what do you think of reason and the refills for it? thanks bro, you make it... ill listen

[PETKKKO]

got a nice style

[RogerUnlimited]

Man That Was Classic And Tight!!

Great Work You Are Very Talented Man!!!

[kennyrocket77]

what talk box are you using dude ? sounds great

[armanth13]

if you check his using talkbox with your guitar he tells you the name of it, something he calls the golden voice.

[jinZuantoniO]

amazing ^.^ did i tell you?im your friend on myspace look for jamizzy haha

love this song

x

[18Tribbs]

Nice stuff MooT!

Got a nice beat and everything!

[SNJFUNK]

good stuff!! so nice.

[SimplyDavid42]

"that's pretty all of the technical stuff"

For sure, the rest is just mastering the tools...

I personally uses Samplitude 10 to record, even hours spent equalizing, applying effects, modifying curves, I can't get a bright sound like yours...

How do you do that !?

Great song, thanks for sharing :-)

[mootbooxle]

Hey, thanks for looking. I usually do a lot of stereo imaging type stuff, just to make it sound big- but you have to watch it to make sure it's still mono compatible. Stereo delays (real short - like 30ms on one side, and 25ms on the other) help make things bigger, and PSP Stereopack is a nice tool.

It's all in the mastering too - nice compression, lots of very detailed EQ work, trying to balance everything, then a good limiter after that. There's so much more...but I'm running out of room!

[anewgroove]

wow moot you had some big little cheeks there on that face hahaha... what a happy little man you was on that guitar!

Paul

[mazspaz13]

I just realized at about 1:40 you can see something that looks like Santa's sleigh being pulled by reindeer in the clouds

[tortugarum2]

Dude..... Keep up the great music. You have a hell of alot of talent !!

[genshikashmir]

I want a talk box, but i'm almost sure i'll choke on the tube.

[PantyeSnacher007]

You're hot :D

[yoshymans]

Hahahah funny coment lol

[mazspaz13]

Ok. This might sound stupid, but I'm very nervous. When I'm using the talkbox, my saliva (more than a normal person, the doctor hasn't found out why yet) goes down the tube. Is it possible to damage the talkbox when that happens? I don't want to have to go buy another one.

[triggerhappykathy]

make a loop with the tube and keep the talkbox above that loop if you get what i mean man. as gross as it sounds the saliva will just collect. make sure you wash it after haha

[mazspaz13]

thanks, i'll try that out

[Ridikhunter]

Can I ask you something? :P

I'm getting a rocktron banshee talkbox. But... I've heard rumours that the tube that comes with the talkbox, isn't that good. So, should I buy another tube? Or should I stick to the "including" tube?

Oh.. yeah! Nice videoes! Funky!! XD

[mootbooxle]

Hey, thanks. Yeah, I would ditch the included tube and get a nice vinyl tube, 1/2" outside diameter. The one that comes with the Banshee is a bit too big for most people's tastes. The only thing is, to keep it airtight at the bottom with a 1/2" o.d. tube, you will need to add some duct tape or something like it, just wrap it around at the bottom of the tube until it fits snug. Hope that helps! MB

[Ridikhunter]

Ok, I'll try that.

Thanks for your time ;)

[Ridikhunter]

Well... I might buy the tube later, I've noticed that the tube(not the included one) can be found in any hardware store :P You see, I'm using a guitar with the talkbox ;)

-Ridikhunter

[phoenix2972]

Beginning of February and I STILL LOVE THIS!!!

[kevihuang]

moot! you're the shit!

[zappafann15]

Yay ! Another MootBooxle video ! Man, you don't know how I've waited to hear new stuff from ya ! You'Re awesome Moot !

[mootbooxle]

Thanks man! I appreciate your patience! There is more on the way, believe me!

So, judging by your username, are you a FZ fan?

Me too...I like the early records best, I think I have all of them up till Waka/Jawaka. Peace! MB

[WesVersion2]

hey matt love the new track, you've probably upgraded your equipment a bit since we've last seen it, perhaps you could make a video of whats new.

[mootbooxle]

That is a very good idea. I will do that. Can't guarantee when, but I will do that! Peace!

[MrSandman98]

hey, i play trumpet, i was wondering if i could see some of your skills. no doubt ur better than me. ty!

[mootbooxle]

Oh shoot man...you could probably smoke me on trumpet right now. I'm just getting my chops back in order...to be honest, I hung it up for a few years, after college, and I've only recently picked that thing up again - cause I'm writing these crazy horn charts, and I can't afford to pay session players! So the next time you hear horns on a MB tune, it'll be my own trumpet + sax playing.

Whenever that gets done...

[MrSandman98]

well, im only in highschool, but when u get around to it, id love to hear it.

[natman123890]

mootbooxle you can do any thing with the talk box and i love the getto talkbox

[MrSandman98]

downright awesome. love how chilled out u always sound on talkbox, keep em coming.

[julianwashere]

aah i love it as always gj man but what is zaaå doing on your christmas beat? hehe JK well done

[tibiafinger]

My Man,I'm suprised the old Zapp Band has not called on you to carry on the Roger Tradition.'Zapp featuring Moot"I'd buy every c.d.

[mootbooxle]

That is the greatest compliment you could ever give. Flattery will get you nowhere! Nah, seriously - if I can bring even the tiniest fraction of Roger's spirit and Funkitude to the people, I feel like I'm doing well! My Funk heroes...Roger, Sly, Herbie, Stevie, GC and the P-Funk, JB, and Miles. Their music will never die!

[xaphankeys]

wonderful!

[HaloCrysis]

Moot, this was your best yet! You did an amazing job and even though you probably might not read this comment, I just wanted to say I'm a big supporter and all of your music is truly amazing.

[FukuAzole]

welll, nicely done!

your musical taste goes way back in time, for your age... P-Funk, Chic and Stanley, Herbie, George, Troutman Brothers... all old guys, but all at the top of the A-List.... you do an incredible job of keeping THAT alive!!!

peace

paul

[mootbooxle]

Paul! I 'preciate it sir! You nailed it - the Funk never gets old, never sounds dated, and always makes me move - mind, body and soul! I've only begun to get down...I'm hoping to bring it heavy in 2009! Just finished my pop duo album...now it's back to the Funk!

[GorillaDesperado]

Glad to see you again! The stereo version is far superior to the mono. It really works!

[legendofzeldaocarina]

Oh man Moot! Your back. Oh and by the way this is pretty kick ass ( 3 thumbs up)

[dume1109]

I love you moot!thanks!

I'm always impressed by your works.

Best wishes for the new year!

from japan with love.

[awilliford]

Thanks for that! I've always enjoyed your style.

[waxwobbler]

Man I love your stuff, thanks & happy new year !

[robotArn]

Dude the song is sick. Thanks for posting your studio info too. I've always wondered.

[SkinUnzipper]

it's definitely in stereo, nice job finding that out!

[phoenix2972]

great stuff moot! =)

[chrisb5150]

Good to have you back "teach". As always you brought something that displays your unfairly sick playing skills. Keep em' coming friend. Peace...Chris B.

[mootbooxle]

Yo Chris B - do you have my email add? Send me a message.

[dustypuppy]

You've come a long way since that first day with your new guitar Moot (too cute)

Great job man - happy new year

[LaneyMarie]

Very nice rendition of the song. You need to post stuff more often! And I gotta say, the video of you as a kid is adorable.

[Thopter]

You nailed it kid.

[foei8]

this is slick smooth right here very nice

[ninjastyle1203]

if god used a talkbox he'd ask you for help dude you rock!

[jako9596]

You borrowed the tune from the Weather Channel. Just kidding. That was some pretty wicked stuff you put in there. Xb

[mootbooxle]

Hahaha! Well, could have been! Sorta some George Benson stuff happening in there...hehe...

love George tho...

[vandal2k6]

Brilliant. And love the chubby cheeks on the old vid :D

Knock up an album and I'd buy it.

[PeeingMyOwnBlood]

Yay Moot!

[humanoido]

Awesome. Great job! Super sound. Cool mix. Superb quality. Very professional. Love it. Upbeat. Sounds like we need more!!!

[shabang007]

MooT your the man. Awesome song.

[Darcity1]

Vrey nice touch! Thanks for all your contributions and help!

[Seany06]

Amazing, amazing music and talkboxing!!

I wish I could TB that well!

[tucumalo]

Wow.. the "&fmt=18" makes the difference!

Congrats Moot :)... You surprised us all again.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[talkboxmayhem]

Awesome Matt :) Good to see you're still rockin' the box.

[mootbooxle]

Good to hear from your Mayhem! How's life?

[pedoncule123]

That Was sweet! welcome back, we missed you!

[TQ255]

Love it, the stereo sound really makes it complete. Keep on making these great vids moot. :)

[invis648]

wow the fmt=18 works!

[Bobbyeagle]

wow why don't youtube just keep the videos in stereo? Its only like, a million times better

[SongstaForLife]

Can I just say this... You are one funky beast. I couldn't get enough of your "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and now you've outdone yourself. Where can I get a copy of this track?

[mootbooxle]

Thank you! I'm thinking I'm gonna post it on DOTM on my site when I get around to updating it...in the next few days. I might remix it. I referenced it in the car and the talkbox is just a little too..."honking" in the midrange.

But yeah, I'll most likely post it.

[toofargone06]

I've been watching your vids for close on two years now, or however long it's been since the ghetto talk box vid first came out. Great tunes!

[LordGrimmie]

Aww, I thought I'd have to made do with A "Merry Talkbox Christmas!" Nice to see some new stuff :)

[TrishNone]

Hey Moot

Good luck with the new album, had a listen sounds great. Have enjoyed your music since the first time I heard Explosion. Hope it all goes well for you, kinda glad you lost those little hamster cheeks! haha

[mootbooxle]

Oh shoot, you should've seen me a few months ago! I've had a lot of health problems (lungs) this year, and when I was in the hospital in the summer I was on like super high doses of steroids...the chipmunk cheeks were back! I probably have pictures...that I won't post...LOL!

[TheWaffleShow]

this is sick man. its like the new Christmas in Hollis

[CheeseBubbles]

Awesome

[anewgroove]

Nice video Matt... the baby version of the moot man was cute hahaha! You're getting better at that talk box every time I hear ya!

[mootbooxle]

Thanks Mr. Groove...I appreciate your opinions! You've helped me out a lot!

Peace!

[erlendmoland]

Amazing as always! Been watching your old X-mas video over a 100 times the past 4 weeks. Played to my whole family on Christmas eve. The loved it! :D Cant wait to hear more stuff from you. I've been inspired.

[mootbooxle]

Thanks to everybody! I'm so happy to be posting stuff up on YouTube again! I got some new stuff in the works too - synth stuff - it's kinda tech-geeky, but there's some jammin' in there too (of course:p)

[Trystaticus]

[mootbooxle]

Thanks DJTriplestar!

Good timing! In response to another comment from you that I randomly saw:

Yeah, I'm still very much into the old-school synths, but I do have newer stuff too, like the Roland RD-700SX, and the Nord Lead 2X, and "groove boxes" like the Korg Electribe A. I like it all man, from the lowest to the highest-fi!

Peace! Merry Christmas to you too!

[kinglynx]

[mootbooxle]
