Michael CozineAn 80s pop and synthpop inspired cover of "When You Were Young" originally by The Killers. This cover aims to reimagine the song as it would have sounded circa 1987 when PCM sampling synthesizers were starting to be heard on major records such as Michael Jackson's "Bad". We re-created the song using primarily synthesizers and VST emulations of classic synthesizers as well as LinnDrum LM1 samples. Most of the sounds were made using Roland's SH-101, D-50, and JX-3P plugins.
This is a collaboration between producer/instrumentalist Michael Cozine and vocalist/songwriter Ailed Hernandez. If you enjoy this you can go check out our band band Clown, Baby for more synth-poppy goodness! youtu.be/TMXBlo7UHis

Cuíca is Portuguese for the gray four-eyed opossum which is known for its high-pitched cry. It is frequently used in carnivals, as well as often in samba music."

#shortsmore destruction with the bass station 2Michael Cozine2021-03-12 | MYA! Hitting AFX mode again this time to do some hyper pop / glitch core bass sounds, distorted 808s, blips bloops, and the like! All sounds in this video were played live with no quantization. The Novation Bass Station 2 brings me happy. #shortsbass station 2 AFX mode jammingMichael Cozine2021-03-10 | I'm using the Novation Bass Station 2 in AFX mode heavily in this little flip of the Play that song again beep boo bop meme sample from Spongebob squarepants.

#minecraft #shortsshort song behringer deepmind 12Michael Cozine2021-02-22 | It's a short behringer deepmind 12 analog synthesizer demo, this is the first patch I made on it, it's a generic polysynth patch that responds to aftertouch and velocity in a way I like and LFO is making the sound a little warbly and trippy for that retro good good.fleetwood mac - dreams (short cover)Michael Cozine2021-02-18 | Short little bedroom pop lofi cover of dreams by fleetwood mac.

Today I'm showing off the Roland SH-01a desktop synthesizer module, part of Roland's Boutique series of synthesizers. Even though it isn't a true analog, I think this is the absolute best value synthesizer you can get for under $500 especially if you are just starting out.
DISCLAIMER:
While this was originally intended to be a short synth review spotlighting a piece of music gear I think is a great value, I quickly realized that (due to my incompetence as a tech reviewer) the information presented here is incredibly insubstantial and poorly explained. Please enjoy the video even if for entertainment purposes only.
GEAR I'M USING: Camera - Olympus OM-D EM-10 mkII DAW - Ableton Live and Reaper Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Behringer ADA8200 Preamp Audio Technica ATH-M40XControlling Roland D-05 with Remote SL MkIIMichael Cozine2020-04-21 | If you're one of the few people who happen to own both a discontinued Roland Boutique D-05 module (or D-50/550) and a discontinued Novation Remote SL MkII (Mk2) model then you are in luck. Quarantine has put a lot of free time on my hands and I am using it to develop a full set of templates that integrates the Remote SL's controls near perfectly with the D-05 giving you the ability to control an ancient digital synth monster with the hands on control it never had. For years many relied on finding preset banks to avoid using the D-50s horrendous menu diving interface if they weren't fortunate enough to own a PG-1000 programmer. In recent years, some tablet applications as well as web programmers have surfaced to make programming this synthesizer much easier. But who wants to program a synth using a touch screen or a mouse? Not me. Luckily, this great discontinued line of Novation controllers is perfect for the D-50 family of synthesizers. The LCD screen and rotary encoders on the SL make programming quick, painless, and fun! This project is still in it's beginning stages but when it is complete I will release the full set of templates as a free download. In theory it should work as long as you on any member of the SL MkII line and either the Roland D-05, D-50, or D-550. My thought is that D-50 owners will find the Zero SLmkII a good companion for their synths.PRESONUS ATOM! First finger drumming testMichael Cozine2018-11-09 | I just got the new ATOM drum pad controller from PreSonus and have to say I am so impressed the velocity curve and sensitivity. This controller could pose some major competition to the Akai MPD and Native Instruments Maschine. In this video I'm just playing around, will make a formal review soon and maybe even a comparison to the MPD218. As you can see in this video, a huge range of MIDI velocities is possible and it feels very responsive to my playing and most of all NO DOUBLE TRIGGER.Recreating the original motion picture score for Shrek 2 (2004)Michael Cozine2018-07-18 | Using the Korg Volca Sampler to re-create a classic dance track that you may know from Shrek 2.Polar Winter Seltzers 2017 Reviewed (Part 2 of 2) - The FizzMichael Cozine2017-12-03 | I give my final 2 reviews for the Polar 2017 Winter Seltzers as well as pick my favorite from the bunch.

This is a sound design project in which the goal was to strip the audio of a 30-second commercial and completely recreate from the ground up. The purpose was not to imitate the original commercial but match it in quality. I did this to the classic 1989 commercial for the Nintendo Power Glove with the intention of creating a more "epic" presentation while maintaining the retro-futuristic vibe.
Enjoy!

No effects were used except a 10-band eq, and the amp was at an extremely low volume(not even on 1). The pre-amp in the camera is very sensitive so i couldn't put it louder. Mic used was a Sennheiser e609 and went in to the camera via a high impedance mic cable.A Horse Called Golgotha - GUitar Cover (Ewwwww916)Michael Cozine2010-05-06 | My cover of Baroness's song, a Horse Called Golgotha IN HD.
