The intro to Beat it was made by Denny Jeager on the Synclavier II demo vinyl disk that came with the original synth. Denny was never credited for it. They just transposed it -2.
They did interpolate it (if i recall correctly transposed a semitone down and 2 bpm faster or vice versa) but Denny Jaeger is credited as playing on both Smooth Criminal and Dirty Diana from the Bad album, so I assume that was to make up for nicking that phrase.
I can't believe it!!! I worked on the Synclavier II back in the late 80s, early 90's. The studio was called Creative Audio and it was mostly a jingle house. We worked on albums as well. We ran analog 24 multi-track tape synced with the Synclavier. It was a dual recording process since digital recording was in it's infancy back then. Thank you Doctor Mix for bringing this out to the media!!
Started watching your channel in the last 2 months, and the way you reconstruct music? No way in hell can the average "Joe" say what you do is easy. Very talented and the passion you have towards music surely shows. Well done sir. Subscribed
Dear Claudio ! Your channel is a source of big joy and pleasure to me. You awake old memories, you dissect essential parts of now historic pop music and that all with great fun. I always have a good mood after watching your videos. Thank you very much !
Thank you Doctor Mix. I watch all you videos you inspired me to play and learn piano. Thank you again. I love all of your videos brother. God bless 🙏🏽.
Near. 😉 Not the LM-1 but the Linndrum. Very similar but more widely. And all the "Beat it" track are with Linndrum layered with real drum. The accent on snare is record by MJ himself beating one of Jeff Porcaro drum cases. Yes drum cases. 😄
Oddly enough, that Synclavier sound was sampled into a fairlight at some point, it’s included in the fairlight CMI iOS app from Peter Vogel instruments. Funny how popular it is/was to sample each other’s samples with a sampler.
@puppiesinspace the extra snare in the original sounds like a real snare to me, i remade it myself using real snare samples and it sounds very accurate
Right. Boom! Here’s a challenge for you: please recreate Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. There’s so much going on in that tune and the production is stunning! 😁
Incredible video like ever, i LOVE de 80's greatest themes reconstructions... When you make any series theme like Knight rider, A-Team, McGyver, or Airwolf ??? Merry Christmas from Madrid...
and to think the Galactic Cymbal intro was recreated note for note from the Synclavier demo record in 1981! I'm still trying to figure out how Michael slid that through and made it work! lol
Gotta admit to being disappointed that sound was just a factory Synclavier patch. I was hoping for more sound design geeking but hey nice work by whoever programmed it back in the day! It didn't stop me from clicking like though...
I’ve seen a video from Junky XL explaining how he made the score for Deadpool. He used a synthesizer and he came across the exact preset of this sound and he decided to use it in the score. I can’t remember which synthesizer he used but the studio of Junkie XL is a synthesizer heaven!
I was just rewatching Deadpool and as soon as the music kicked in during the opening highway fight, I was like "That sounds just like the intro to Beat It!" A google search later and of course Doctor Mix has the answer.
Thank you for awesome recreation! I have a question, how did you sync your Yamaha to iPad? I'm looking for a similar solution for iPhone to be a mobile sequencer for external synths. Could you provide some thoughts? Ideally I would like to receive both sound and midi data from iPhone, not just MIDI (in that case I could use iRig MIDI from IKMultimedia)...
Thank You for your videos. I admit i haven't seen them all, but i would like to ask - if not already done in past, could we hope for recreation of New Order - True Faith intro? ;-)
Hi Claudio, stumbled across this video while looking up information on the new Synclavier Regen. Is this something you plan on reviewing any time in the near future? FYI - your analysis video on Kraftwerk’s Man Machine was amazing and eye opening. I’ve been a big fan of Kraftwerk since the mid 90s (yeah, late to game there) and your video made me enjoy them on a completely new and different level!

I always thought Tom Bahler was credited for the intro because of the sounds but Steve Porcaro played it
Steve Lukather remembers in the musicians hall of fame interview that Steve Porcaro and Greg Phillingates came up with it
Thats their business
I just love you. Your enthusiasm is soooooooooooooooo out of this world. Congrats on the sound.
Actually think it's a bit over the top for me..love his tallent but every time I watch u feel like your watching a mtv RuPaul drag show..
Vasileios Tsalkos He is a depressed clown. Puts an act on for the videos.
The enthusiasm is called cocaine
NeptuneReturnz that is so mean. He is a funny, genuinely happy guy. That shows through to me ❤️
The music he played at 2:08 is just amazing
Wating for "How to recreate Michael Jackson's Beat It full versión"
and ended up being a cover instead.
im sure it will come :)
Well, you'll need one Eddie Van Halen
@@TransistorBased He was a fool for doing the guitar solo for free.
@@jaggass it sounds like he did it for a friend. It's not like he was short on cash or anything

I feel like if you and Rick Beato got together, you could recreate almost anything.
Unfortunately they're at different ends of several bell curves.
two Italians that love music! :)
You are a monster... All under your control.. Thank u 4 all your precious hard work
Recreate The Chase by Giorgio Moroder
You ain't the only one wanting this
I agree! That would be awesome.
I happened to watch a short documentary about Midnight Express this morning. Coincidence? I don't think so :)))
@@DarkSideofSynth Very Nice man
PLEASE
There’s a missing sound here. Like whistle that goes falling.
Yeah a falling sine.
I wish I had the positive energy you got. It's blessing.
The sound QUALITY on drmixs is top notch! So if i want a sound experience ill go for ex. This ! Omg its sounds good!
3:01 ooh ta ugh te uh ta ooh cha
Dear Claudio ! Your channel is a source of big joy and pleasure to me. You awake old memories, you dissect essential parts of now historic pop music and that all with great fun. I always have a good mood after watching your videos. Thank you very much !
Got a great buzz out of recreating that tune on the keyboard and the volca beats. Thanks for the lesson!!
Dr. Mix is THE MAN!!!
Man, I like this channel, he knows his stuff, love it!
Thank you Doctor Mix. I watch all you videos you inspired me to play and learn piano. Thank you again. I love all of your videos brother. God bless 🙏🏽.
Amazing track, amazing album, amazing artist!
Amazing Dr. Mix too! :)
Amazing Dr mix
2:08 - good preset to recreate ATC - All Around The World, maybe with little edit.
Around the World preset is taken straight from some Roland equipment. You can find it in their vst Zenology
merry holidays ❤️
The clap on Beat It might've been from the Linn LM-1, they used it a lot on that album.
Near. 😉
Not the LM-1 but the Linndrum. Very similar but more widely. And all the "Beat it" track are with Linndrum layered with real drum. The accent on snare is record by MJ himself beating one of Jeff Porcaro drum cases. Yes drum cases. 😄
@@mecyjecy The LinnDrum didn't come out till about the middle of the production. Even the producers have said was a LM-1
Whenever you are sad, think of Doctor Mix. He will always make you happy.
Dr. Mix is my favorite person
Hey DrMix, recreate 'Planet Rock', by Afrika Bambaata.
Love the blooper !
I love you, Dr Mix!!!
Coming up next... How to recreate Eddie's solo!
Oddly enough, that Synclavier sound was sampled into a fairlight at some point, it’s included in the fairlight CMI iOS app from Peter Vogel instruments. Funny how popular it is/was to sample each other’s samples with a sampler.
Instantly liked when I heard the effect you played on the montage
I was expecting you playing Steve's riffs and Eddie's solo any minute ;)
Amaaaaazing!!!
Amazing
Great great great 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You’re brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for being there!
You are the best! Always smiling, shows happiness in doing this beautiful work. Unfortunately no subtitles in other languages!
There got to be an other kick in beat 3 together with snare. I guess it was made with Lynn drum originally
Wow I love this song so much 😍
Joyeux Noël et BONNE ANNÉE DOCTOR MIX !
Merci bien!
Thank you Claudio !
4:14 That clap didnt want to stop...lol
Greetings from Brazil. Nice Channel, dude!
For some reason, this was the video that made me finally subscribe. Thank you 🙏!
Man!! I love your videos!! This is one of my fave TH-cam channels! Keep doing such wonderful stuff with all that enthusiasm!
Awesome I always wondered where they got that sound from Thank you Doc!!
Love your videos very inspirational thank you
That’s really coooool 😎
Of course I Iove "Beat It". who doesn't... That album is still fresh. If you'll make this song, you have to find that red jacket.
Hello Claudio, Merry Christmas to all on „Doctor Mix“. You love the Music and we all love you.
Another fine video! I think the clap was from the LinnDrum!
Epic!!! Great job Dr.!!!
Cool..!
I love it.
RIP MJ :'(
I think the "clap" you mean were sampled "door slams" ;-)
It's close but I dunno, the snare sounds like it's missing something, and the big intro sound sounds a bit too bright.
Yes. There is an additional snare, and it’s not a 909. Not sure what it is
Was probably the live drums snare, added, would t it be? Anyway, hilarious that one of the top comments is “snare sounds like shit” on a Dr Mix vid
yeah theres a real snare on the original track
@@vouztyro no real snare on the intro. It's the Linn Drum machine. And for the clapper is the Drum Case Beater
@puppiesinspace the extra snare in the original sounds like a real snare to me, i remade it myself using real snare samples and it sounds very accurate
4:10 the TR-909 shares your enthusiasm to the point that it can't stop clapping.
Well he tried 4 times 😂😂
Que chidos están tus vídeos
Saludos desde México
Really clever and I HAVE subscribed!!
Got that sinclavier preset saved into my sampler too
Nice equipment!
It is very interesting
I really liked it
Wow!
Recreate Michael Jacksons Billie Jean please
Please don't. Pick a musician who is not a pedophile please. There are soooo many.
@@shanefiddle Michael Jackson wasn't a pedophile
@@shanefiddle bro it's just music stfu
C Daniel Nagy same goes for you. How sick ARE you?
@@shanefiddle since his music is part of the childhood of so many people we can't just dismiss it
and you can separate his demons from his music
Right. Boom! Here’s a challenge for you: please recreate Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. There’s so much going on in that tune and the production is stunning! 😁
Incredible video like ever, i LOVE de 80's greatest themes reconstructions... When you make any series theme like Knight rider, A-Team, McGyver, or Airwolf ??? Merry Christmas from Madrid...
Ok ! very nice video. i wait you explain how you sincronize the machines. regards from Portugal
I love your enthusiamy and your are so funny. And so cool.
I thought they used a Fairlight CMI for the opening synth. Use the Arturia CMI V. There's a preset called "Just Beat It."
Claudio, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your recreations! I wish you would do Lipps Inc.'s funky town.
and to think the Galactic Cymbal intro was recreated note for note from the Synclavier demo record in 1981! I'm still trying to figure out how Michael slid that through and made it work! lol
How can you not smile when those drum machines hit.
I love yours videos :) Wish You a lot of health :)
Would kill someone for Crockett's Theme :D
Amazing! You are the best! 👍👍👍
Let's say, Claudio beat it 🤔😁🎶
I'm going to have to win the lottery to duplicate your studio! AWESOME VIDEO!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
What did you play at 2:08? That was beautiful!
I watched all your thriller videos and I love you enthusiasm and energy😂😂..please do a breakdown of smooth criminal
Wow
nice video Sir
Awesome mix
I believe the original version was actually a sample from some synthesizer demo or something.
yeah I use the CMI Fairlight and its a preset actually
@@cazvekmusic3076 Wow, I was actually right. 😃👍
It was actually the “Gong” preset on the Synclavier II.
Gotta admit to being disappointed that sound was just a factory Synclavier patch. I was hoping for more sound design geeking but hey nice work by whoever programmed it back in the day! It didn't stop me from clicking like though...
Hey Doctor , recreate the 'planet rock' beat please , bonne chance!
on the original track, where the clap is it sounds to me like a pitched down 707 maybe a linndrum snare, def a pitched down snare i reckon
hmm 707 is unlikely because it came out in 1985.. I dunno. It sounds like more of a white noise based sound
Big inspiration Dr ! Thanks
Súper temazo gracias Dr. Mix
😊Because I love you lol, awesome.....
Great vid....

Galactic symbol same sound used by Tangerine Dream on the track Kiew Mission from the the album EXIT
Wow OOOOOMG 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can imagine so good, that you recreat Sussudio from Phil COllins :D
I wanna see you do something with the Roland CR-78
very gooooooooooooooooooood
The original intro to Beat It was done on a Synclavier II synthesizer
Awesome beats bruh, thank u for sharing:|~~~
Thank you for awesome recreation! I have a question, how did you sync your Yamaha to iPad? I'm looking for a similar solution for iPhone to be a mobile sequencer for external synths. Could you provide some thoughts? Ideally I would like to receive both sound and midi data from iPhone, not just MIDI (in that case I could use iRig MIDI from IKMultimedia)...
It’s just an ipad connected to a novation audiohub interface... going into my mixer
@@Doctormix can I use some audio interface with both audio and MIDI through apples USB adapter? Do you know about possible solution? Much appreciated!
Would love to hear you take on Faithless's "Insomnia" - such a classic tune with very distinctive sounds
PleaSseeeeeee recreate the twin peaks theme! Such a good tune, and would be fun to do! X
03:27 ...love you man
Thank You for your videos. I admit i haven't seen them all, but i would like to ask - if not already done in past, could we hope for recreation of New Order - True Faith intro? ;-)
You do know that the beat it intro is a preset on synclavier 2 right ?
I never owned a Synclavier II :(
@@Doctormix Noel ? :P
That was fun lets do it again.
perfect
