So obsessed with this song ..since Cutting Edge 😂. Love seeing him “create it” Remind me how much I love Fleetwood Mac because how many vocals and instruments involved. The *layers* with both …. Idk if I’m being old it feels like modern music …layers lacking ? . Use AI. Use synths..they did ! Give us some layers lol. Love seeing the behind the scenes
I was working in the BB studio with Daniele, Mirko and Valerio : The bass has beeen made by R-BassLine, the piano was not from korg m1 but with 2 different piano sets by Akai S900, strings from Proteus and Akai and some drum sound from Linn also. There is not absolutely organ with the line of the bass. The 16/4 sequencer was made with a organ inside a wuah wuah for guitar (and there is a guitar as well). You can find the same sounds on a previous production of them called Starlight “Numero 1”.
Hey man! This was awesome information 😃😃 So nice that you took the time to explain this , and thank you for watching my video. Cool - I’m honoured 👍😃👍😃👍😃
Thanks a lot for this information Zanfosanfani, because I've tried for many weeks to reproduce the mythic Black Box piano with my Korg M1 (preset Piano 16')... without success. Please could you tell me which S900 library sounds were used (I listened all the piano sounds in the SL500 library, but nothing seems to the Black Box piano) ? I would be pleased to talk this topic with you. Thanks a lot by advance.
@@nofrontierprod hello, at those times were not a lot of kind of pianos library for Akai S900/950 so if you are able to find the libraries, for sure you will find what you looking for. All the piano parts were played by Mirko Limoni and programmed into the Akai by Valerio as well, i say programmed because the sound was a little bit modified in attack and decay from original preset. The name of the preset onestly i don’t remember, 35 years passed by and unfortunately i lost contact with Black Box since they moved and retired to UK from Italy
Thanks a lot @zanfozanfani for your answer. I've got the S900 libraries, so I'm going to investigate more, even though I think it will not be easy to find it, because you precised in another answer that 2 pianos sets were used. So I think Mirko or Valerio merged them into the S900 to get that unique sound. As many others and almost all the web sources, I thought that the Korg M1 was responsible for this piano… and no, finally ! And now I understand the reason why I couldn’t emulate the Black Box piano with my M1. In this regard, the same or very similar piano sound can be heard on Electronic « getting away with it »(1989) : th-cam.com/video/DSfjtdnUsls/w-d-xo.html or Keith Thompson « Love is not a toy » (1988) : th-cam.com/video/69foJsd_Lfc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lGX0H92_LIb0CB1C&t=62. May be at that time, producers used to exchange samples. Interesting, isn’t it?
Many have copied, sample and otherwise appropriated the late great Loleatta I met her once in person and she might actually have been proud of what you did here. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting

@@GlennMainMusic Well vastva read it on the net, no one died for this mistake but if we inform well we do all our role as informants in the correct way.
Italo House 89. European dance music producers in the 90s were inspired by this song. (The computer bass line i think originates from Italo Disco Disco King - Carrara)
This song is one of my alltime favourites. My father played it when I was very little and we danced to it in the kitchen, it has a special place in my heart and it never fails to get me in a good mood. Great video, glenn!
@@GlennMainMusic Yeah, for real. As someone who grew up in the 80s, I hate it when people get pedantic over dates of the decades, like 80s/90s/00s. Yes, there are largely definable changes in music over the duration of each decade, but it's not like the music genres changed overnight on the stroke of midnight of a new decade. The music released in 1990 had more in common with music from 1989 than 1990 had in common with 1996 for example.
Glen hope you hit 500,000 Plus + + + subscribers some day... I think you have real potential to do this and be a one of the greats on you tube for home based music studio creation .... i have seen many youtube channels covering a similar genre who have many more subscribers than yourself but lack your charisma and talent ( my point is you deserve to be up there in front ) .... maybe talk to a youtube promotor expert because i and many others really think you have what it takes to go to the top ! ........ A question about the MC 707 .... Can i record the music i am making on the Mc 707 direct to a any daw ? and create a song using the DAW ( cubase Presonus cakewalk Fl ableton and audacity )?
Wow ! Thank you so much for those very kind words 😃😃😃 it would be great to hit the 500K mark someday yes 😃😃 But I am happy as long as someone likes what I’m doing. 😃😃😃 Yes you can record directly to your daw using the USB 😃 I have done just that for many of my videos actually :) I’m also using Cubase , and I’m recording all my tracks directly into it. From the MC 707 , you get a total of 18 tracks in recording. (8 stereo tracks + Main out) It’s how I made some of my “Howard Jones tribute EP :) It’s a great way of working 😃😃😃
Questions for @zanfozanfani Heather Small recorded the whole song and you guys just sample Lolleatta Holloway(for the chours) or was a mix of both throughout the whole song?? Was you part of the second Black Box album where Chavoni was the vocalist?
Italo House was a DJ music or house music definition, one-person band. Those DJs did not have vocals. Search song "Never Gonna Give You Up" - Rosso Barocco. These innovative DJs and producers helped to change the sound of dance music in the late 80s with the incredible sound of Black Box and their various remixes. Rosso Barocco is one of their studio mix projects - taking Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" and placing samples of First Choice, Ecstasy's "This Is House." They were the first ones to do it in Europe.
Wow this is absolutely amazing.😮 you are so great at what you do. I e always wanted to know how to play piano and you are truly an inspiration. 👍🏼🥰 discovered your channel today, plus this song is awesome.
@@GlennMainMusic Hey bro, I'm serious. Not too many people I work with because I like to do my own thing, but I think it's about that time for me to branch out and start working with other musicians (despite me being a music composer with different routes to take)
