MiMa's cover of Van Halen - I'll Wait (now recorded straight :-D)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- PLEASE NOTE: the audio here is heavily stereofonized, and my keyboard line is for the most part on the right channel, while the Van Halen's song is on the left. Be sure to listen to this video with a pair of stereo speakers or headphones, otherwise it could seem that I'm just pretending to play.
After 8 years where I didn't touch this song I decided to record it again (for the 3rd time). But this time I recorded it with my cam straight on the synthesizer and not in reverse as in my 2008's video :-)
I improved and changed some things in my playing compared with my last video of this song, so it's now more akin to the original. The audio and video quality is improved a lot too.
Feel free to comment. If you have criticisms, express them politely in a constructive way and they will be welcome.
A tremendous piece of writing by EVH. Thank you SO MUCH for doing this. There are so many things I never heard before that add to his greatness. Great job my friend.
Thanks to you for your appreciation, glad you liked my video :-)
a tip : watch movies at InstaFlixxer. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Preston Immanuel Yea, been using instaflixxer for years myself :)
@Preston Immanuel Yup, have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
@Preston Immanuel Yea, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
I made my own edibles tonight for the first time and drank some beer. This made me weep as everything kicked in fully. I loved it and fell in love with it all over again. One of my favorite songs ever! I can only hope one day to play it so well! VH is everything. You ARE GOALS. Thank you for this treasure
Glad my video gave you some good feelings :-)
Thanks for your appreciation!
Are you playing it on a Jupiter 6 also ? I think Eddie Played it on an Oberheim. I want to learn it on my Roland DS 61 or Fantom 08. I ue Synthesia to learn it..but Mima givs you the exct tune here.
Careful what you take. It may end up taking you.
@@7gerez Some Marijuana edibles and beer? Nah dude, I'm still here lmao. It wasn't black tar heroin. 🤣 I was just vibing out after a long week of work and paying bills. Nothing extreme! Promise!
God this is so good!!! I’ve always loved the synth line to this song and you have mastered it perfectly. Thank you!
Thanks for your appreciation, glad you liked it :-)
Damn Now that is pure Ear candy. I wish Van Halen would have turned the volume up a few notches on that Synthesizer cause man I can finally hear it. Great 80 vibe that is almost extinct. The 1984 album had so many good songs.
Thanks, glad you liked my video :-)
If i had my eyes closed, i would feel like i was listening to the original song. Your cover is impressive to say the least. Great job!
Thanks for your appreciation! Glad you liked it :-)
That's because you were! haha Would be nice to hear it without the actual Van Halen track so loud.
@@geraldhartley It's because the audio is heavily stereofonized, so my keyboard lines are on the right channel and the original song on the left. If you hear this video thru a mono speaker you would likely hear only the original song and not me playing on the synth, as generally only the left channel is fed to a mono speaker. This is explained also in the video description.
mima14031985 aha. Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t read the description. Thanks! 🙏🏻 Great job by the way!! 🤘😎
Omg I loved this song before but this brought it to a new level . Tyvm ily
Thanks, glad you liked it :-)
I just taught myself to play this for my VH tribute band, thanks in part to your video! One thing I was able to pick out by ear was the chord at 0:30 is an A minor. I had great fun learning this song, it's always been one of my favorites, especially now that I don't have to play the boring bass guitar part! Thanks again for the vid!
Very kool to see what Eddie played. I'm jamming bass with you. Thanks
Thanks for your appreciation. I'm happy that you're having fun with your bass while my video plays :-D
Ed sure was a genius… incredible
Superb rendition!!!
Thanks!
Awesome 👌
Thank you :-)
Phenomenal cover my friend! 🙌🏻
Thank you :-)
Awesome cover man wow. Any chance you have just the keyboard track, id love to use it in my band. Killer man.
Wonderful.
RIP EVH.
We always love you.
It was a big loss for the music world. R.I.P. Eddie.
RIP on the anniversary of his passing.
Great piece played very accurately Mima..thank you so much ..!
Thanks to you for your appreciation. Glad you liked my video :-)
Awesome! I’ll wait is a gem from 1984!
Indeed it is. Thanks for your appreciation :-)
Phenomenal video, music, cover
Can't wait for more up loads.
Thanks for your appreciation :-)
The original synth was an Oberheim OB Xa , the same used in Jump and several Van Halen songs
I read that I'll Wait was done with an OB-8 and Jump with an OB-X (the Xa is just in the video). But there are several versions of which synth was used in which song, I don't know what's the correct one.
Beautifully done sir! 🤟🍻
Thanks for your appreciation :-)
Another awesome pumping creation of my mentor Mr. Eddie Van Halen.
Excellent job! Thanks for posting this.
Thank you. Glad you liked it :-)
Amazing. The Jupiter model sounds exactly like it. Nicely done.
Thanks for your appreciation :-)
Great job, dude!
Thanks for your appreciation :-)
That was right on and confirmed most of my fingering and taught me the rest. Thanks for doing that.
Stunned. Great chops
Thank you :-D
I love this song. Thank you for showing this. My only regret is that I get distracted with the other instruments and lose the syth in parts of the song. I wish the syth was up and everything else turned down. Great work😊
Thanks to you for your appreciation :-)
Way to go synth friend!
Thank you :-)

Thanks for your appreciation, here and on my Abacab video.
This is so wondeful!
Thank you :-)
dolce musica per le mie orecchie, perfetto.
Sono contento che ti piaccia :-)
Grazie per i complimenti.
The craziest thing about this song is it was co written by Michael McDonald
Excellent!!!!!!
Thanks Mark :-)
Is there another synth being played at the same time in the song? I hear another keyboard being played too. I would love to hear you play that other part as well!
Yes, there's another synth line in the song, which plays some high notes as a filling. It's always the same keyboard that is being played and it wasn't done in real-time, after doing all the other song's parts they simply added that one in its own track on the tape and mixed it together with the rest (that is called "multitrack recording").
What about the other keyboard parts happening in this song? How can one person play all parts during a live performance, considering a human has only one pair of hands?
The answer is: multitrack recording :-)
Keyboard parts are being played by the same musician and recorded one by one individually, then mixed together when producing the song.
mima14031985 Have you ever played the other keyboard parts?
I did play them some years ago, when a dude asked me for just the keyboard parts of I'll Wait, to be included in a cover. I was never thanked by the dude for that :-(
Fantástic excelente brother mismo que V. H.
Thank you :-)
wow! great playing and how on EARTH did you get your hands on a Jupiter-6?!!
Thank you :-)
I found my Jupiter 6 in a local 2nd hand market website. Sometimes (not too often TBH) they pop up in such sites. It's just matter to keep an eye on them regularly, and with a bit of luck and quite a lot of patience at a certain moment one will be there for sale.
It's my understanding this was done on a different synth. Oberheim? You're on a Jupiter-6. A bit of insight on how you mimic that sound would be awesome.
Yes, originally it was done on a Oberheim OB-Xa or OB-8 (some says OB-Xa, some OB-8). The synth was recorded thru a guitar amp system (I think they used a Marshall stack) with a microphone, this is why the sound is so dirty and lo-fi in the original song, and that was intended.
The patch itself is quite simple, here I'm using sawtooth AND pulse on VCO1 (Jupiter 6 allows to activate multiple waveforms for its VCOs) and just sawtooth on VCO2, with slight detune between the oscillators. Quite fast attack and decay on the filter and sustain about halfway, flat envelope on the VCA. These are the basics, then adjust detune, pulse width, filter cutoff and filter envelope timings and mod intensity to your tastes. For the detune, for this sound remember that the oscillators should stay quite close, they should beat slowly.
Rock on!
:-)
Where are you at? We’re needing a keyboard player so bad. Are you close to West Tennessee by any chance?
I'm from Switzerland, so unfortunately I'm just a little bit far away from you :-)
Thanks anyway for your proposal!
Sweet!
Thanks Caleb!
Nice synth man
Thank you :-)
Bravo :-)
Grazie :-D
epic WIN!
:-))))))
Gentilissimo come sempre :-D
Grazie!
I always wondered what synth this song was recorded with. But Jupiter 6 sounds good.
It was either an Oberheim OB-Xa or OB-8, amped thru a Marshall stack and recorded with a microphone placed at the amp's speaker. That's why the sound is so dirty and quite distorted despite coming out from a synth, they wanted that crunchy tone.
@@mima85 I'm going to hazard a guess and say it was both. 8 think they might have switched to ob8 for the solo.
@@amonster8mymother That wouldn't make any sense. OB-Xa and OB-8 have a very similar sound, there would be no need to do such a swap. Instead, from what I read, the studio recording was done with an OB-Xa, and on live shows Eddie played an OB-8, which was more reliable than its older sibiling OB-Xa.
Was the original recording done on a JP6? I always though it sounded more like an Oberhiem.
Yes actually you're correct, the original was done with an Oberheim OB-Xa, put thru a Marshall amp stack if I recall correctly. As when I recorded the video I had the Jupiter 6 and not an Oberheim, I did it with the Roland.
mima14031985 you dialed that patch in just right. My ear cannot tell the difference. Great work and nice synth. I’d love to get my hands on a JP6 or 8. Probably never well however. I believe the 8 is the best all around synth ever produced.
@@robbelliii Thank you. Regardin the Jupiter 8 being "the best" synth ever produced, IMHO it's not. One of the best for sure, but not _THE_ best, actually I think that a "best" synth simply doesn't exist.
I had a Jupiter 8 for a while, you can actually see it in a couple of my videos, and in the last months I sold it. I liked it a lot, but despite liking it I quite often preferred my Jupiter 6, which I still have and probably will end with me in the graveyard when I'll leave this world. It was painful to sell it, but at the end the machine sat in my studio quite unused (when not sitting on my lab's table with its hood openend, to have its technical issues fixed), and to keep such a synth just for the sake of owning it was not a sensible thing to do. Now in place of the Jupiter 8 I have an Oberheim OB-8, which I'm in the (slow) process of getting it back to "like new" factory specs. Here I found the fatness that somehow my Jupiter 8 lacked.
"The best" synth is just the one that better fits someone's taste and needs, there's just no a "best" synth by definition.
Here for THE Jupiter 6 😊
One of the greats, indeed :-)
Con cosa fai le Batterie?
yep, ya done a hell of a good job on this song, I' m not sure who actually played this part, but I think it was Ed.
Thank you :-)
As far as I know, all the keyboard parts in Van Halen's songs were played by Eddie.
DY - NO - MITE
Around 2:30-2:35 are you using a repeat on hitting D?
If for "repeat" you're meaning some sort of automated arpeggio no, I play that line by hand just by hitting repeatedly D in alternate octaves.
Excuse me sir how much was this keyboard?
I paid 1'800 euro for it in 2012. Now its price is nearly doubled due to the vintage bubble.
Come back mima!
Like Terminator would say, "I'll be back" :-)
I have some stuff going on. Stay tuned.
Grande!!
Grazie Michele :-)
mima14031985
sempre presente, poi sei davvero bravo.
2:33
BTW. Sounds awesome.
Thanks :-)
You are my Hero!!!!! 🎹🔥👍
Too good man :-)
Thanks for your appreciation.
mima14031985 Dude can I use this on my Twitch cast? Would love to show your skills off....
As long as this video is being credited to me, you can use it wherever you want :-)
mima14031985 Of Course!!!! I just wanna spread love....Thanks Bro!!!
You're welcome :-)
quem sabe um dia eu consiga também, aqui é do Brasil
Just try and exercise it :-)
I'm far from being a keyboard genius, anyone with a bit of effort can learn this song.
85%
Uea that horn sound is snappier than the OB8 sound.
Yes, I had the attack on the envelope a bit faster than the original sound.
@@mima85 that's interesting. I wish I could sample that.
@@mima85 if the envelopes are faster you could slow them down a bit.
@@amonster8mymother I programmed the sound myself on the synth, the snappier attack on the envelope was a mine deliberate choice :-)
Hardly to believe this wasnt recorded at 5150
Eheh, thank you :-D
You sound MUCH BETTER than the track.
Thanks :-)
My synth was recorded clean with just a bit of delay, instead of being recorded with a microphone thru a guitar amp stack like Van Halen did with his Oberheim when he recorded the song, that for sure plays a role in it being more clear. I wouldn't call it better though, it's just a different sound character.
This also acts like a tutorial...
Or is it already a one ? Nah i dont think so.
Great cover anyway .
Well it's not exactely a tutorial, because in a tutorial one have to play slow, explaining what he's playing and why, etc.
This is just a cover, but I filmed it in this way (like nearly all my other covers) to make it act also as a semi-tutorial, so one by seeing clearly what I'm doing here can figure out how to play the song.
Not perfect, but noice.
Thanks :-)
FAKE!
Did you read the video description?
