You know this guy has given his life to his craft when he doesn't even need to listen to the sound he is designing, he just twists knobs and flips switches being able to hear what each is doing to the sound in his head and the end result is pretty close to what he imagined it would sound like. It's like when you can hear what a sound is going to sound like after you EQ it without actually having to do the moves with the sound playing and when you can play it, its pretty close to where you want it.
To see Anthony program Synthezisers, knowing exactly where he is going, is for me as a sound and synth lover such a joy!. Theese videos you made with Anthony is among the best I have watched in a long time! Thank you so very much!! Thank you :)
I wonder why there aren't more videos of you synth masters from the original albums sharing how you created the sounds of the 80s songs. There must be thousands of musicians who would love to know how Madonna's 80s synth sounds were created, for example. I find it so entertaining and just plain fun. Thank you Mr. Marinelli for allowing us to get into a time machine and taking us back into the studio with you. I see so many forums where musicians want to know which synthesizer was used for a particular song and all we can do is take a guess.
Maybe it is because he is methodical about it and applies logic to his sound creation. As can be seen in how he explains his sound creation procedure in this video, for him it was and has been a step by step process knowing the properties of each part of the synthesizer and then using it to build sounds.
This is pure D GOLD. There is a reason for a Minimoog. There is a reason for a Prophet 5. There is a reason for a OB 8. And there is a reason for an ARP 2600. You just have to know when your able to work with their limitations or try another synth. Love it. This guy is showing us how to produce. This info is invaluable.
I just read a breakdown of this album’s recording process. I’ll just say swedien was a genius, Quincy was a genius, Michael was a genius, all of whom worked their asses off for 8 weeks. Thank you all, foal achieved, music Industry invigorated still get chills. Production and execution masterclass. The masterclass of masterclasses actually
A Minimoog is a very simple instrument control-wise, but sounds so good. You just know Anthony knows the Mini inside and out when he blindly dials in the settings of the chorus call back riff and it sounds spot-on! That is synth patch programming at it's best.
I've re-learned how to program synths from watching Anthony's videos. He's so good at explaining why he does what he's doing, and his interview with you was awesome. This is the greatest collab on UA-cam right now, maybe ever.
Yet another thank you to both of you for this video! I just can't understate how much respect I have for Anthony's work and his willingness to share his secrets with us in this synth nerd corner of YT. And there just isn't anyone quite like Dr. Mix! Rock on, and thanks again!
I don't know what the heck they are talking about with all the knobs, but damn I'm soaking it all in. Love this look at all the different sounds that make up the song and how they were created. and it's a shame that Anthony only has 55K subs. So much knowledge and insight into the songs we all love.
Watching Anthony explain how thriller was created is like witnessing creation itself. It's God like. Thriller was my childhood. Thriller was the very definition of cool for me. This is amazing. Thank you doc!
I went to Berklee in the early 90s. And I got to learn from some of the guys who worked with Pearlman and Moog. This is the best lesson in subtractive synthesis I’ve had in the last 30 years. Thank you!
These world masters are QUITE a pair. Their personalities, knowlege of their craft, are each off the charts. And when they play off each other, both with only their love for music (no ego trips here at all) it is a real treat.
Anthony is a genius. I’ve been watching his videos for a few months now with so many ‘ahah’ moments. I rave about his videos to just about anyone who will listen.
This is the best channel on UA-cam. It's not just about music and learning. This is a great source of inspiration (at least for me). Dr. Mix is so happy with synthesizers that I can’t even envy him)) Thank you very much for this joy, knowledge and inspiration! ❤
This is what I call Epic! We not only get to see and hear the original Synth Programmer for the Thriller, Mr. Marinelli, but also get to see & hear the actual instruments used during the session recording of the legendary songs. What more could we want ?😯
Oh Wow! This is so great to watch these 2 creative minds talking and working together.... and dialing in these iconic sounds from these vintage synths!
They did stack synths on top of synths but not just to make a wall of sound, every layer done with a purpose. That's what makes the difference between an okay arrangement and a great arrangement. These videos are a gold mine of knowledge that wasn't available just a couple of years ago.
Thank you both for this fascinating video, we learn so much with a teacher like Anthony. I'm not a Michael Jackson fan, but Off The Wall and Thriller are really 2 musical gems. Anthony understands synthesizers, knows music, orchestration, he is a true master.
This is incredible, I subscribed to this channel the minute I saw the video about the 'Thriller' reconstruction. Although I studied Jazz Guitar in Antwerp, I became obsessed with the synthesizers, and wanted to reconstruct these sounds with the Arturia softsynths as well (still have no clue of how synthesizers work by the way 😅). A few months later my jaws dropped when mr Anthony Marinelli began to explain the actual process of the way he programmed the beats and sounds. So I send an email to Doctor Mix to point that out, and to my surprise Claudio was so kind to answer. Such a great and down to earth person. And now these two are actually sitting in a room, discussing music and passing their knowledge. I just love how both of them are into their craft and willing to educate each and everyone of us with that level of passion.
Fun fact - the Behringer Model D / Poly D Clones of the Minimoog can switch the note priority and retrigger function. So you could play the bass line legato like in the original on those synths (while still missing the pulse with modulation). I wonder if Moogs own re-issues like the Voyager and the new Model D now also have that feature (which most modern day analog synths thankfully do).
Let us always be aware what a genius Michael Jackson was and how he inspired so many ladies and gentlemen in order to create such incredible music for us. ..thank you all who contributed with their hearts and souls...❤❤❤ And thanks to Claudio and Anthony who made me think about it ....peace
If i could enter in this room, i'm shure, i could cry for 5 minutes before playing some of theese pieces of history... Sintetizers are not instruments but portals to others dimensions
He is truly the Bob Ross of new funky synth instruments. It looks so simple. What a great match michieal with this engineer. It is so magical. Thanks for so much funky feeling and awesome sound
Watching a master at work like this, the ease with which he targets in on the sound he needs is just joyful and deeply impressive. Thank you for this video, I've watched it over and over again. The enthusiam is infectious.
Claudio thank you for sharing this life stones, life marking moments, I lack for words but meeting your hero and becoming good friends with him it just marks anybody. Not everybody is so lucky to live this. Like guitar players they fight and envy each other and talk shit about one another instead of sharing their techniques and secrets. This is so cool and inspiring I am so happy for you and I'M SURE you will get to know a befriend Quincy too. I was very very lucky to meet my hero early in my career and he invited me to his home and to his studio and teach me a few things in one day I will ever cherish in my life. I stayed in his home for two days making music and we became good friends, later he came to my home and spent more time together in my house making music in my humble little studio setup. This are truly the best times one can have and cherish for life!!!
This was such a great video! It's amazing to see the nuts and bolts of a blockbuster song like this with people that were a part of creating such a classic!
I'd love to see a (long) video tutorial course of Anthony programming synths and sharing all his knowledge. I'd even pay for it. He has such a quick approach to all the flavours, amazing!
Another great interview with Anthony, MJ was truly one of kindest person & legend in music be, as I find fascinating, I respect how much time goes into a track the creative side, people don’t know how much time energy goes into a track, if you watch this and story behind it, people would know if you are truly a fan, thank you 🙏 i have learned alot
Anthony is so serious. He has an almost unhappy demeanour which is the opposite of gregarious over the top Claudio. Two incredible musicians with polar opposite personalities.

What a wizard Anthony is ! So much mastery !
“Come on, let’s get demonetized together”. Lol keeping it 💯. Love them 2 breaking down stuff from different perspectives
Crazy cool! U r driving us nuts 🥜 😂 Looks like a dream trip 🍾
Hola Claudio!!... Cuándo una reacción a Boney M.?
Abrazos enormes desde Chile ❤❤❤
Anthony is such a nice, normal and great guy! No ego's just the love of making music. Great guy! I enjoyed the episodes.
Who had the loudest shirt? Dr MIx or Anthony Marinelli? Thumbs up for Anthony!
This is weird. Seeing the master being educated by the GrandMaster. My god. Can it get any better?
That ‘10% more’ brought a huge 100% smile to my face 😊
Without a doubt still the best pop album ever produced. Timeless in every sense.
With all of his years of study and this final research, Doctor can now finally become Professor!
You know this guy has given his life to his craft when he doesn't even need to listen to the sound he is designing, he just twists knobs and flips switches being able to hear what each is doing to the sound in his head and the end result is pretty close to what he imagined it would sound like.

so happy you show anthony to your audience… I follow his channel since the beginning and he deserves to be known by a large audience !! you rock
Yeah… Show Anthony… :)
To see Anthony program Synthezisers, knowing exactly where he is going, is for me as a sound and synth lover such a joy!. Theese videos you made with Anthony is among the best I have watched in a long time! Thank you so very much!! Thank you :)
An expert meets a master. 😮
A two incredible amazing synth stars together
This is an education. Two great minds here. Doctor Mix is a humble musician willing to learn new stuff.❤️

Priceless. Absolutely priceless. I mean it, you can't pay for shit like this, it can only be given.
The Jedi and the Padawan. Love both.
This is incredible. Someone who spends their entire life doing THIS. Absolutely mezmerizing to watch.
This series is a treat and I'm just amazing how Anthony can remember how to re-create these sounds after all these years 💖💖💖

Rod Temperton was another genius.
Anthony knows these synths & synthesis inside and out! Incredible musical knowledge..thanks for this video Dr. Mix!!!
Complete brilliance on all levels. Sir Anthony shows how it's done, period!
Great colab, Doctor Mix has the over the top charisma and Marinelli with his experience and knowledge with big hit records.

Man, he just started yotibe yesterday, eventhough he is not from this era...
Jeez, never thought I'd be sitting on the edge of my seat watching a synth programming video...but gotta say that was "Thrilling"!
Anthony is the Mozart of synths. Just an amazing episode, Claudio! Bravo!
It's so great to see you loving every second of this experience Dr. M. Like a kid in a sweet shop. Happy for you.
I learned more about synthbass design in 10 minutes than I have in 10 years of YT/experimenting.
Watching Anthony explain how thriller was created is like witnessing creation itself. It's God like. Thriller was my childhood. Thriller was the very definition of cool for me. This is amazing. Thank you doc!

Have you subbed to Anthony's channel? It's epic good.
New to knowledge of Anthony but his love of sound is so infectious and so self-effacing.
These sessions are pure gold. Anthony is really showing off the ARP too, what a beast it is, but not as well known to the larger audience 😎
Here before it happened
Yeah baby
!
This is what I call Epic! We not only get to see and hear the original Synth Programmer for the Thriller, Mr. Marinelli, but also get to see & hear the actual instruments used during the session recording of the legendary songs. What more could we want ?😯
Go back in time and record the actual sessions 😭
@@ejv.96 Alas! If only such a thing was possible. 😇
Michael to talk about the vocal recording
@@soaribb32 🕺
Damn, im thinking of getting into the whole analogue synth world (finally) but i dont own any heavily patterned collarshirts :(
As a non musician I love hearing these little pieces being picked out. Things I'd never noticed before in the song... fantastic.
Oh Wow! This is so great to watch these 2 creative minds talking and working together.... and dialing in these iconic sounds from these vintage synths!
Wow, this is incredible. Thank you for bringing us into the studio.
They did stack synths on top of synths but not just to make a wall of sound, every layer done with a purpose. That's what makes the difference between an okay arrangement and a great arrangement. These videos are a gold mine of knowledge that wasn't available just a couple of years ago.
This behind the scene is amazing. Awesome, thanks for this present! 🎁 🎹
Thank you both for this fascinating video, we learn so much with a teacher like Anthony. I'm not a Michael Jackson fan, but Off The Wall and Thriller are really 2 musical gems. Anthony understands synthesizers, knows music, orchestration, he is a true master.
I follow videos of you both, but having you together in one video, nerding around, is just awesome!
Wow! Anthony is a genius. The way he programs the synth blind, knowing how the sound is going to output without touching the keyboard! Incredible.
This was superb!! Bravo to both of you. :-) One of my fav albums ever.
This is incredible, I subscribed to this channel the minute I saw the video about the 'Thriller' reconstruction.

I just love how both of them are into their craft and willing to educate each and everyone of us with that level of passion.
It's ALL about phrasing. The phrasing of the sound design and articulation and the phrasing of the player...that makes it timeless.
Fun fact - the Behringer Model D / Poly D Clones of the Minimoog can switch the note priority and retrigger function. So you could play the bass line legato like in the original on those synths (while still missing the pulse with modulation).
I wonder if Moogs own re-issues like the Voyager and the new Model D now also have that feature (which most modern day analog synths thankfully do).
I have a Poly D, which is in fact more versatile than the original Minimoog, but also a Behringer 2600. The latter blows the Poly D out of the water.
I'm amazed. Thank Dr Mix that was more tehn something. Huge respect for Marinelli.
So interesting guys, thanks for doing this! Hugs from Italy to both!
This was so cool. Thriller is such an iconic track. Great to hear how the sounds were made.
Let us always be aware what a genius Michael Jackson was and how he inspired so many ladies and gentlemen in order to create such incredible music for us. ..thank you all who contributed with their hearts and souls...❤❤❤
And thanks to Claudio and Anthony who made me think about it ....peace
Ya he even came up with some parts for guitars by singing them to the players
I've been really looking forward to this. Only a couple of minutes in and I'm already loving it 😂🙌
ahhhhh, thank you. How genius these people are!!!
Fantastic Doctor Mix! Wow, Anthony knows his synths very well. Also a great fan of Greg P. Regards from the Netherlands.
These guys are the true "mad wizard scientists" of innovative R&B & Pop music production. Thanks for sharing guys. 👏🏾
The technical details they are talking about is way over my head, but some how it’s fascinating! Sheer brilliance.
Absolutere great. It’s always the last 10% that makes it special.
What a treat! That minimoog ‘answer’ line is now my favorite part of the song. Just awesome.
Anthony is amazing. His synth knowledge is next level 💯
If i could enter in this room, i'm shure, i could cry for 5 minutes before playing some of theese pieces of history...
Sintetizers are not instruments but portals to others dimensions
So glad you guys got together! two geniuses!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I know I am just jealous but i cant understand how a youtuber gets to meet such a legendary guy.
Best 2023's colab !
This guy is a genius.
After all those years still in his head.
Love the videos of the two of you geeking out :D
I love seeing Doctor Mix in full listening and learning mode!
You guys, your videos are pretty amazing, pure fun. Oh ye
I'm loving these recent videos, so interesting!
Legendary! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sound design. Talking to the soul. Anthony Marinelli at his best.
I'm going to have to revisit my version after this.
I love listening to Anthony, he brings a very chilled vibe while staying enthusiastic.
Fantastic work guys it’s amazing how you can see through the sounds individually then put it all together 🤔😀👍
"let's get demonitized together" - Claudio
😂
Anthony feeling like we all do when he sees Claudio gesticulate
I know NOTHING about the tools, technology or techniques but I do enjoy watching the creative process! Thank you for sharing this with the world. 🌎❤
Brilliant. So good. Thanks for asking the questions we wanted answering Doc, and thanks to Anthony for answering them.
He is truly the Bob Ross of new funky synth instruments. It looks so simple. What a great match michieal with this engineer. It is so magical. Thanks for so much funky feeling and awesome sound
This was a master class. Excellent!
Watching a master at work like this, the ease with which he targets in on the sound he needs is just joyful and deeply impressive. Thank you for this video, I've watched it over and over again. The enthusiam is infectious.
2 legions together. I'm in music heaven😁😁😁
2 Synth masters just doing their thing. I love it!
Amazing creativity from both of these gentlemen. True genius.
Claudio thank you for sharing this life stones, life marking moments, I lack for words but meeting your hero and becoming good friends with him it just marks anybody. Not everybody is so lucky to live this. Like guitar players they fight and envy each other and talk shit about one another instead of sharing their techniques and secrets.

In music history.

So cool. This is priceless , to see exactly how the sounds were done. So good to see and hear.
Fantastic video clever tips from a classic era still got it
So much knowledge! You two bouncing off each other.. a joy to watch!
Anthony is so serious. He has an almost unhappy demeanour which is the opposite of gregarious over the top Claudio. Two incredible musicians with polar opposite personalities.
Anthony has the coolest shirts on UA-cam :D
I notice the shirts are different than the interview video. These shirts are better!
