• How to recreate The Me...
It has taken an awfully long time to work out how to play this song. A few years on and off I have been thinking about it.
Finally I feel I have overcome the 2 main issues. Those being learning the notation and knowing which instrument to use. Finally I've cracked it.
The timing is a little off as it's played live.
I absolutely love this song but you will not find anywhere online that shows you how to play it. Anything you see on UA-cam involves them sampling the song rather than actually playing it. Here I play everything apart from the beats, which are sequenced into FL Studio.
I do not own the rights to this all time masterpiece of a song.
“you better check yo self ‘fore yo self...”
Sounds great man, I just got my first synth a few months ago and this video definitely gave me some motivation.
That's nice to hear. Thank you.
Let me know if you have any questions. I only first played the keys when I was 32. I'm 37 now. And I only started using music software last year.
This means my approach and understanding is unique and different. I understand it from a layman's perspective, which may make it easier for me to share knowledge
@@TeamOfThe80s yo man could you send me this i want to do a remix with this im gonna leave props to you
First time I've experienced anything like this. I wondered wtf they were talking about
If anyone is reading this don't load the name of the company that's just been mentioned. I may have to moderate comments for the first time ffs lol
Thank you i look forward to playing this song
He did that.

You rock !
Well done. Is the looper a seperate pedal or in the keyboard module?
I have this exact keyboard!! Is the lead line at 1:18 a stock sound or did you process it with reverb/fx? Great cover btw
Nostalgia. 2003. GTA Vice City🥰🇷🇺 from Russia with love
Yep. That's how I know this song! haha
I got it from Scarface: The World is Yours. Regarded as a Vice City clone, but hush >:I don't ruin my Christmas. (Unironically though it brought in some cool mechanics)
very cool :-)
Thanks
If anyone has any questions on which instruments are used or the notation then let me know
Great Job!!!!
So... what plugins you used (if any), and which synths?
@@Harmonity The beats were sampled from the actual song itself (couldn't generate a satisfactory beat sound myself) and then sequenced into Fl Studio. As for the rest:
Bass: Nexus 'trancebass 10' with some tiny tweaks
Guitar: Nexus > plucked > mute guitars 2
The stabs: Nexus > Arpeggios > after midnight 1. I didn't actually arpeggio it as those notes were not hit for long enough to generate it, but that was the only sound I liked for those stabs
Main up and down jingle (IE the last thing I play in the video): Nexus > Plucked > Amberpikes
I got Nexus literally 2 days before making this video so was very excited with my new vst. Most other plugins are 80s classics. that was my first modern download and boy, it makes a huge difference. Wasn't sure I'd get the sounds correct for the message as that was a major struggle (well, mainly the up and down jingly part), but then along comes Nexus and resolves it all
@@TeamOfThe80s Thank you! Gonna try use those!
I dont explore much of the native plugins presets as I usually use Harmless and Zebralette as main generators plugins
that nexus pluck makes me laugh and idk why
if the music doesn't mix in your blood then you shouldn't it...❤
what synth u use for the last delay melody
hey how did you switch between the different sounds? or have you just cut the video?
No, the video isn't cut. I'm using a mouse with my right hand to change instrument within fl studio. But right my hand isn't in shot so you may not notice.
Sound comes from nexus > plucked > amberpikes
Yeah, this is one badass recreation because Girls is Players Too
I actually reposted this video on TikTok and called it that to get views 😂
Next post a tutorial of how to recreate Genius of Love and title it “Get some Big Big Energy” to attract viewers 😂
@@deathboy126 😂 already done a basic cover of Fantasy by Mariah which is the same song lol
what synth u use for the last delay melody
Nexus >plucked > amberpikes
Hey buddy what keyboard is that? Also how many tracks can you record on it for one song? Many thanks
It’s a Yamaha e343, but all the technical stuff comes from fl studio which it’s plugged into via my laptop
@@TeamOfThe80s thanks pal. Much love
Would it be too much for a tutorial on how to play this?

Did you see it?
How did you sample the main chorus instrument?
Only the beat is sampled. The rest is played.

EastClintwood yea i could not match the jingle instrument
hey how did you switch between the different sounds? or have you just cut the video?
There's a mouse off screen. I used that to select a different instrument within fl studio. You'll notice between each part that my right hand isn't in shot. That's me changing the instrument on fl studio with the mouse.
@@TeamOfThe80s damn nice ^^ didn't notice that haha. I thought there's a magic way in FL to automate this. another question I use fl for many years now and tried to go into live recording. but it's a pain for me as when I record something live in a loop FL doesn't record it as I played it. means it's out of sync. any ideas? my interface is on 192kHz so I think it's not a hardware thing
@@peerlessrecords6236 I've got the same problem you have. Since this video I've added another two Synths. No lag whilst making this video due to just one Synth being plugged into laptop. Now I've got 3 I've also got lag.
Bear in mind I'm no sound engineer and only been doing production for about six months. But the only ways to resolve I found were a) turn the buffer length down. 1024 or 512. I don't even understand what this does, but I do know turning it down reduces lag!
B) if you use a USB hub make sure it's USB c and that it has its own power source
hm I tried that already. the thing is this problem is also present when I record notes into a pattern which is crazy cz it's not going through any interface but just from midikeyboard to FL. when I record audio directly from like a piano or synth outside FL it works perfectly. anyways I'm thinking about switching to Ableton as it's much better for live performance. stay tuned man@@TeamOfThe80s
@@peerlessrecords6236 do you have other devices plugged into your USB ports? Have you tried different ports? I'd strong advise checking out a powered USB hub
What are the notes to this?
Can't you see the notes I'm pressing in the video?
Alternatively:

drums ?=>?????
I sampled each individual drum sound from the actual song and sequenced it in fl studio
thus is check yourself
BySaxZ No, this the message by the furious five
It's the same song with different lyrics
Ice Cube sampled from Grandmaster Flash
Woolfie McPoshinson yep. Almost every single 90s rap tune samples an 80s tune and the 80s samples they tended to use are now my favourite genres
@@TeamOfThe80s Having a good sample and then using that sample to make a good song only doubles the fun imo
Just a suggestion: Remake old songs with a better bass ( boosted bass ) 🙂
