If you verb once, then verb again... does that mean you reverb?

A great content 6 years ago Synth made so much impact and it's this sound that I love in this era.

I subscribed for the overwatch meme and the gloriously dry humor. But here I am, being educated about sound engineering in the 80's. And loving it. Youre really insightful and informative. Never stop.

I feel like everyday I get more and more enthusiastic about music theory...

honestly i thought this video was a big set up for a rick roll

So far from what I've seen of yours, you're always entertaining and hilarious so when you posted a video like this I was like "huh, is he gonna know what he's talking about since I've never seen him do something on music alone before?" You uh... you a fellow producer or something? How is it I'm not mentally correcting you on anything here? You secretly a sound engineer? Well done and I definitely laughed

i love how you just talk about random stuff

Real nice video. Would love to see you make a video comparing actual 80s music and Synthwave / Retrowave music. Think it would be interesting.

I love that I can just come to your channel to learn about so many different things about some of my favorite things while also maybe getting some laughs too, Thanks for being great

I think this might be your least satirical education piece yet, and I love it. (I also love synth, so there's that...)

Make a discord server pls

Continue to do what ever you want like this Your videos are constantly refreshing and give me goos vibes Thank you

God himself seems to have uploaded again...

The topics of your videos are always so random, but the quality is always top notch!

I didnt actually know what reverb was until you explained it. Seriously, i learn something new from every video you make. Thank you.

3:10 so glad people haven't forgotten about Matthew Wilder

I felt like this could have been a really good opportunity for a Rick Roll but at the same time I'm glad it didn't happen. Interesting video!

What a fantastic video. You never fail to surprise me.

Love your videos, I'm really glad to see you branching out of Overwatch and doing it so well at that.

Beautiful.

Your videos keep evolving and while I honestly miss videos like “are you a good person” I find myself excited to see what videos you will keep on making. Keep it up man great work.

I love this video so much

I love all your videos, but this one might be my favorite !

I really appreciate you putting in Bless from Zankyou no Terror. The sound track from that show is by far one of my favorites.

I love these videos. Played a couple of my fav songs 👌💯

Vox did a really good in depth video on this topic a while ago, would recommend.

Needed this, thanks! Been trying to find that 80s sound forever when I make music.

Have you ever heard of the band White Lies? They create an 80's vibe in contemporary times. Their song "Peace and Quiet" is a testament to their style. You should check it out.

The KZfaq algorithm is hitting hard, your channel was half way down my sub feed and its clear by your view count and comment count that its hitting a lot more people and probably worse. I'll always keep an eye out and support you, keep it coming.

earliest ive been to a video without a notification, was just watching your videos and reloaded your channel page

Thanks for some reason I needed to know this today

Never heard most of these songs before, but damn they're really good, you got great music taste!

"You hear the ringing after the shots? That's not reaper. That's a bell to simulate reaper" Oh I hear him alright trying to teleport behind but I headshot him and tell him this is not the day!

Toto Africa actually uses an analogue synthesizer for the main chords, it's a Yamaha CS-80. Source: Oct 82 issue of Keyboard magazine Toto interview. Keyboard Editor: What else is going on in "Africa"? David Paich: "The kalimba is all done with the GS1. It's six tracks of GS1 playing different rhythms. There's a high organ sound that's GS1, and I wrote the song on CS-80, so that plays the main part of the entire tune."

incredibly insightful. This is the content you need to start making again, man!

Phil Collins at the intro sent my seretonin through the roof. That sound just tickles my soul. I miss 80s style rock music.

Thank you!! I was always wondering about the reverb thing but I never could find any info on why everything had that echoey "80s sound"

Thanks for being you♥️

Love 80s music

Thank you. That was very informative.

oh, this good music goes on my playlist

I love the simple endings in most videos. Ok, bye.

I love your videos

I love these sounds so much, and I love the current 80s nostalgia in pop cultute today. Also yay XTC!!

Good stuff, I'm learning.

great video!

Thank you. You remind me of home ❤️

Echo and The Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar

That sounds just like something a god damn SYNTH would say!

For some reason I stopped getting notifications for you. I started getting them again! Also wow your music taste is good :D

Whoa, nice!

This was super interesting!

I love reverb (sparingly) but I love your videos.

dang that's some nice editing

Nice video great job

Really interesting

Yay

To be honest I found this video more helpful and understandable than the one that vox made, Nice work!

2:03 The video literally crashed for me at this point

Half this shit I don't even care about. I just stay for your voice

I came here looking for a video on why the new retrowave/vaporwave subgenres don't actually sound like the 80s. Such a video doesn't exist where I've searched, but gated drums are totally on that point. If you're ever interested in the subject, I do hope to see that video sometime in the future! You seem plenty qualified for it :)

i hope you just suddenly became a music theory channel

Funny how this is very VERY similar to a Vox "earworms" video that came out back in August.

FIRST DIGITAL REVERB 1976 NOT IN 1981 !! "EMT (the same company that created the first plate reverb) introduced the first commercial digital reverb system in 1976. The EMT 250 Electronic Reverberator Unit not only contained a highly adjustable reverb processor, but also the capabilities to apply effects like chorus, phasing, and delay." In 1978, Lexicon introduced the Lexicon 224. !!!

don’t think i didn't catch that birden boi

I learned stuff

Thats really interesting actually. I never considered how the advancement of technology would also advance how music would be created

I love u

The 80's had the best music, now now, this is just my opinion, but I really, REALLY hate the newer music coming out. Don't get me wrong but Sugar kisses is one of the best songs out there man.

I hate to break it to you youngins but Phil had a big hit because he had a lot of money promoting him. Later he claimed he discovered discovered the gated reverb thing but we were all experimenting with it. The Knack was recording reverb and then playing it backwards long before Phil did squat. Who really invented the idea is anyone’s guess but I did it long before that album came out.

Please do a video on the beginners guide or it's such a beautiful day, I think you could say a lot about those

I THINK YOU'VE EXPOSED WHY I LOVE REVERB / actually think some songs feel wrong without it. In the first months of my life, i heard 60s 70s folk 80s rock I overuse reverb om my keyboard and i always wondered why it sounded so nice to me, but i realize it's because my aunt babysat me a lot, and the music i seem to obsess over is always 80s progressive rock/post punk

I can feel it Mika! Yes daddy!

I use way too much reverb in my songs but I just can’t stop myself

What about that classic saxophone you hear in almost every 80’s song?? I need answers plzz.

Do a video on todays music!

I’m no sound engineer, I’m more of a - - a nightmare ogre monster man. Like Ed Sheeran!

0:13 whyyyy

Does anyone know what this sound is In “ big popa “ by biggie smalls at the start is a sound that I hear in 80s music What is it called

What is the sound effect at the very beginning of never gonna give you up

3 PRIME examples of reverb in post punk music are The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy Cocteau Twins' Head over Heels and The The's Infected.

do the 70's next

A wafer stick. Hm.

OMG TIL TUESDAY MENTIONED HOLY FUCK🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Vox did this video a few month ago, with pretty much the exact same content.

1:33 is that the music video for The Moment by Tame Impala?

Am I the only one who was expecting him to mention Depeche Mode?

Nothing says 80s music like Kevin Macleod's royalty free music.

Doo Wa Ditty

Hi Mika!

What's the intro?

Hi, can you please talk about Doki Doki Literature Club? I really liked it and would love to hear your opinion on it, oh yeah and i love your vids they are pretty great.

I don't even fucking know what reverb is but I still enjoyed the video just because it has your voice...

So goldfish has drums?

Yo

Next video, explain why the music of the 90's surpassed the 80's.

Hey I was in an overwatch game with you I think. It was cool. Alright goodbye.

Is that a jojo's reference?

Aw yeah a new vid

I hate the sound of the 80s, and I feel like everyone today just adores it and fetishizes nostalgia for that decade so much that they fall over themselves with vitriol just defend its signature hollow sound on the internet. The sound of the 80s maybe be appealing, but it was like McDonald’s: it’s shit, but you keep coming back for more. While there were of course exceptions, so much of the 80s sound and music and art in general was just totally vapid, vacuous, shallow and superficial, not to mention that coincided with the ultra-conservative climate of the time that served as a reactionary and terrible push-back against the countercultural revolution and real progress that 60s brought, and the soulfulness and organic sound and climate of the 60s and 70s will always be better.
