Hi, thanks for your comment :) I played it by ear, I don’t have any sheet music, unfortunately.

Hi! Thanks for your comment :) I played it by ear. I don’t have any piano sheets, unfortunately.

Thank you very much! :)

Bonjour, merci pour votre commentaire! :) Je ne parle pas français, je répondrai donc en anglais si cela vous convient :) -- To create that gate effect, I have used LFO mappings to modulate particular parameters of the synth. Specifically, a sine-wave based LFO triggers filter frequency and oscillator volume of the synth. Once assigning LFO to modulate the filter frequency and volume, the main trick is to tweak the "LFO rate" itself. Decreasing the LFO rate (while LFO is doing its own work) creates that slowing stutter effect. Make sure that the tempo sync option of the LFO is disabled, so that you get a smooth descending stuttering effect. I hope that helps! :) Sorry, I couldn't reply in French.

@@errey___ thanks a lot

Hi! :) I guess you are asking the one that starts at 0:44, am I right? If so, I have layered multiple sounds for that. There are 3 layers. One of them is a synth bass - I have used a preset from my DAW’s stock synths. The remaining two are orchestral brass stabs. The synth bass is dry (no effects). The brass stabs are packed with some reverb and slight distortion. I hope that helps. If I got your question wrong, please feel free to ask again :) Thanks!

Thank you so much! :)

:) Personally, I find the tracks “Riez” and “Déclaration” similar. Those are from the same album, Multitude, as well. Unfortunately, I don’t know any playlist with similar tracks. Though if you find one, I would be happy to know :)

Thanks for your comment! I have used only one external plugin, called "AAS Masala 2", but that is just to add some texture. I made the main chordal stuff with the built-in synths that come with Reason.

Me, too! :) Oh, thank you very much!!! I appreciate it :)

Hey! Thank you very much for your kind words!!:) I have tried to remain faithful to Zaz’s version of the song. Meanwhile, apparently, I have totally forgotten the original track (Piaf’s) :D I agree, those piano runs could add a nice touch to it! :) I’ll try incorporating them in my upcoming personal practice sessions. Thanks for the idea! :)

@@errey___ Yeah both versions are great in their own ways! You're such a talented player! I dabble in piano myself, but I don't have your level of natural ease and performance. Bravo!

Exactly, both of them are beautiful! Oh, thank you so much Dylan! :) Your comments made me so happy, thanks! :)

Thank you so much!! :)

Hey, thanks bro! :) Unfortunately, I have lost the project file. But I can tell you what I remember about the preset. As far as I remember, I must have used the built-in synth called "Malström" in Reason. Specifically, with a single OSC assigned to "Sawtooth*16". Also, I must have tweaked the "motion" and "shift" knobs. -- If you use a different DAW or a hardware synth, you can try experimenting with Supersaw and Sawtooth-based presets. In either case, try adding some reverb and little saturation at the end.

Nope. Just on UA-cam, here :)

Exactly! This is my favorite song from his last album. Thank you for your comments :)

Thank you for your comments :) Yeah, these tools are widely available, and they let you have a complete studio on your computer. But, at the end of the day, it is the creativity of the user (musician) that matters :) In my case, I am merely trying to recreate Stromae's songs for fun. Yet, Stromae is the one who "created" this beautiful piece of art. Without musical knowledge, creativity, and experience, these tools are useless :)

Hey! Unfortunately, I have lost the project file :( Yet, I suppose, I must have layered multiple drum samples from Reason’s Factory Sound Bank and third-party sample packs (most likely Vengeance sample packs).

@@errey___ teşekürler

Rica ederim :)

Ohh, thank you so much!! :) I appreciate it! :)

Thank you so much :) I appreciate it :)

Hi :) Yes, you got that right. Those are short notes played very quickly, one after the other. Note that I also modulated the pitch. As those short notes are being played, simultaneously, the pitch goes up. By the way, that was my way of doing it. There can be different approaches which could yield similar results. For instance, you can try using a gater instead of using multiple shorts notes. Or, instead of modulating the pitch, you may try tweaking the portamento and use an ascending set of notes. I hope that helps :)

Çok teşekkür ederim :)

Hi! I have used “plucked synth” sounds for that (virtual instruments, created by software). I don’t think it belongs to a particular real acoustic instrument. However, Stromae might have layered separate instruments (both acoustic and electronic) to get that sound. If you’re looking for real acoustic instruments that sound similar, you can look for the “mallet” family of instruments (e.g. Bamblong, kalimba etc.). Hope that this helps! :)

@@errey___ I dont understand much about electronical music. But ehru is ehru. Beautifil what you have done . So, also the instrument at the beginning must have a name . Thank you .

​@@mariacapoferri2718 Thank you, too :) I'm sorry, my previous answer wasn't quite clear. I meant to say that I don't think it is a real instrument. I feel like it was created by virtual instruments (software) and, for that reason, it doesn't have a particular name. That's just my feeling, though. I might be wrong :)

Thank you bro! :)

Most of them are stock drum samples from Reason. As far as I remember, only for the bass drum, I used a 3rd party sample pack (ModernBeats demo sample pack).

Thank you! :)

Thanks for your comment :)

Hey, thanks for your comment! I have mostly used the stock sounds from “Reason 10”. The names of those presets are “Sine Pluck -SP”, “Wide Xylo” and “Bamblong Natural”. Additionally, I have used one preset from a 3rd-party plugin, "AAS Masala 2". The name of the preset is “Jawa”.

Hey! As far as I remember, I have used “Maelström”, which is one of the stock synth devices in Reason :)

Thanks! :)

Thank you! :)

Thanks! :) Most probably, I will not remake Sante. It features real instruments which are challenging for me to recreate in my DAW. Yeah, I was surprised when I heard that Stromae didn’t produce it. :)

By the way, you can find the official stems of “Sante”, “L’enfer” and “Fils de Joie” on the official website of Stromae, in case you haven’t seen them. I thought that you would be interested. :)

@@errey___ Merci !

@@errey___ J’ai envoyé un message à Mosaert, les stems de « Mon amour » arrivent prochainement :)

@@titifarci4187 Oh cool! :)

Thank you! :) Yes, you got that right. I used an LFO to trigger the overall output level and cutoff frequency of the synth. This setting provides basic stuttering/gating whenever I hold some note. To make it sound “drrr”, I automated the LFO rate. The LFO rate has a large value at the beginning. Towards the end, it has a much smaller value. The transition from faster to slower LFO signal yields that “drrr” sound. Also, make sure that the “tempo sync” feature of the LFO is disabled.

Thank you !!!

Thank you! :)

Hi. Thank you so much! :) You are right. That “A” does not quite fit there. When I tried using a “G” as you suggested, it sounds more accurate. Plus, as you already mentioned, your suggested chord makes more sense from music theory perspective. It has more tension, and provides a better transition back to the first chord of the scale. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! :)

Thank you !

:)

Thank you so much! :) I have never tried remaking the entire song, but I remember working on the main synth. Below, I share some tips that may help you get started. Note that I use Reason as my main DAW, and the following instructions are only applicable for Reason users: - Load a brass or string instrument (could be anything from the Factory Sound Bank), - Insert a “Scream4” underneath your previously loaded instrument, - Customize that Scream4 as follows: *** Right click and choose “Init Device”, *** Disable the “Damage” section, *** Enable the “Body” section, *** Set Body “Type” to “B” (this does the trick) *** Experiment with “Reso” and “Scale” knobs as you like. Note that I am not quite sure about using brass or strings instruments. You may wish to try loading different instruments in the first step. Scream4 with Body Type B does the actual trick. Hope that helps! :)

@@errey___ merci ! Ça ressemble en effet !

Thanks :) I suppose it is a custom "Maelström" patch, with oscillators set to "Sawtooth*16". I am not quite sure since the project file is lost.

I attended one of his concerts in 2012. Before the concert, I had the opportunity to meet his manager there. He helped me get into the backstage after the concert. I met Paul and got my keyboard signed! :) By the way, I had to reply in English as I don’t speak French. Sorry for that! :)

You are lucky !

if you did not translate, he wrote “Thank you boy”

​@@titifarci4187 Thank you for the translation. Yes, I am so lucky to have seen him in person! :)

Thank you! :) I have layered several synth plucks for the main chords. Regarding the transitions you mentioned, I have used an external VST plugin (AAS Journeys) and added intermediate notes. I don’t remember the name of the preset, but I can look it up if you’re interested. By the way, I tried to get that transition effect using an “additional” synth layer. However, in the original track, that sound could be part of the main pluck itself, I presume. To me, it sounds like it is triggered by some filter envelope or something like that. I’m just making a guess though. :) Hope that helps! :)

Thank you ! :) What synth plucks did you use ? I saw the plug-in Klang of Reason for the Bamblong

​@@titifarci4187 No problem :) I have used three presets from Reason 10 default sound bank: * Sine Pluck -SP, * Wide Xylo, * Bamblong Natural -- you got that right :) and one preset from "AAS Masala 2" (3rd-party plugin): * Jawa

Thanks! :)

Hi! Thank you so much my friend. I am so pleased that you still remember me! :) I guess, I recall exchanging Reason files of "Silence". Is it possible that you had a different profile picture (or username) back then? I usually recognize people by their profile picture and username as a pair :)

Well, as I progressed more and more over time, I started finding those old remakes cheap (in terms of overall quality, sound design, mixing etc.). One day, I deleted them all except "Papaoutai". I regret it now... Thank you for your interest and your warm welcome, my friend! :)

@@errey___ Yes, I had another UA-cam channel where I reproduced the music of Stromae which I had deleted a few years ago. We talked about the tom drums of the "Silence" music. I remember you did other Stromae music on Reason. You have reproduced this music from his 2 albums. It was a long time ago ! (My old channel name was supposed to be "Mister Edwyn", this was in the early 2010s).

Oh no ! I found them wonderful ! Don't keep any on your computer ? Very happy to have spoken to you !

@@edwyncht Oh okay, that makes sense. It's been so long that I can barely remember. Yes, you're right. Unlike me, you seem to remember every little detail! :)

Thank you my friend! :)

Thank you! :)

:) Thanks JeiShian

You remember correctly :) I used to remake his songs, especially the ones from Cheese. The reason I deleted them was because I found my previous work to be of poor quality. As I progressed more and more, through the years, I started finding mistakes here and there in my old remakes. One day I deleted them all but this video. I regret that (though it is too late now). Thanks for your lovely comment, it made me sooo happy! :) I am delighted to hear that I have inspired you! Thanks a lot for remembering (even after years) and stopping by to comment here :)

@mt Ben de sonradan pişman oldum, keşke silmeseydim...

same, this was exactly what I had in mind

I have lost the project file unfortunately :/ Yet, in my sample collection, I was able to locate an old "bounce" of the lead synth. It might be different than the one in the video but here is the link anyway: drive.google.com/file/d/18_BqCEOBe-WHvnho3jyMYtZMTbYmXhID/view?usp=sharing

@@errey___ thanks

@@user-zp8df2cv6m No problem

Teşekkürler Alperen :)

I recorded it using the built-in sounds of "Reason 5", plus some additional sample packs. I have lost the project file unfortunately. Otherwise I would send it for free :/ Thank you for your interest. :)
