Don't listen to jerks who trash Sonicware. Sure the units are made like plastic food storage containers....They are quirky, have noisy plastic buttons, and keys...and polyester shaft standard pots..so people complain that they wiggle... I've felt worse, on more expensive gear, and after a lot of use, for more than two years now, on my XFM, some heavily used pots (filter control, etc) none have any issues, and still feel packed with grease, providing fresh feeling turn resistance. Nothing crazy though, like high end high tolerance pots, that actually remain high turning resistance for a long time. firm turning resistance isn't ideal for music gear, sometimes, and I often love pots, and encoders which can be turned with a fingertip. I bet you could make an entire instrumental Kraftwerk cover, in a single XFM, Claudio, and you have a great ear for great sounds, and I'm sure would create some excellent sound patches for various Sonicware machines. All sonicware gear is highly capable, even in the area of amazing sound design, despite it's looks. Yu Endo, and Sonicware, could definitely use some Dr. Mix preset patterns, and sound designs in it's gear, from the factory. Maybe ask Yu Endo (Sonicware's head creator)😉 I bet he would love to have you contribute to the factory presets... I have 8bit warps, xfm, and just recently I got a beyond killer deal, on a used SmplTrek, which is nothing short of amazing, as a small sampler. With V.2 firmware, it just got even better. A ton of power, for sampling on the go, and it's capable of laying down long vocal tracks, alongside an entirely otherwise sampling based sequencer. ...Complete Kraftwerk cover track all inside SmplTrek? with multiple traditional DAW-style vox tracks recorded, as well??? YUP...
If you were ever in a computer shop in the late 80's: multiple ViC-20 and Commodore 64 renditions of Axel-F, each slightly different, each out of sync (Erol Computers, Walthamstow High Street, mid 1980's)
Let me start of by saying, I know nothing about creating music. I love how excited you are when playing music. I have the same excitement about listening to it. I can't get enough. Most are telling me to turn it down or off. I don't know, it makes me feel alive. Thank you for what you do. You Rock!
@@stormybear4986 i just used too legit 2 quit in a yahoo comment outta the blue. i swear im either living in some simulation, stuck deep in the bowels of a horribly long coma, or both... gonna try something out... its raining top heavy hot chicks... top heavy hot chicks... top heavy hot chicks... worth a shot. we'll see how it goes...
I remember when I was in college - driving 4 hours to music stores with 1/3 that selection. Even today, no local store has anywhere close to that collection. (I need to touch the keybed before purchasing.) I hope they continue to be successful and keep sponsoring some really great TH-camrs.
So grateful to Doctor mix for always bringing the best vibes!! Much love to Doctor Mix and Perfect Circuit for helping support the Synth community!! Cheers!:)
I first saw your reconstruction of "Around The World" and "Get Lucky", then "I'm Blue" reconstructed, and now "Axel F"… You rock dude! This content is really inspiring!
The Peak/Summit is truly a classic. Glad to see you encounter the bizarre rabbit hole that is the Pulsar-23! The stuff I get out of that machine is different every time.
Hey DR MIX this brings me back to the late 80’s when i went to a 600 school for troubled teens and took my Jupiter 6 and my Emulator Drum Machine and my Roland MSQ-700 MIDI Sequencer (remember those things) and I gave an audience of teenagers a demo of this Axel F song in an auditorium and went through all the levels of the sequencer doing the drum programming then the bass line and then the keyboard melodies all with my JP-6 in Split Mode - you have taken me back to that VERY FUN DAY in NEW YORK CITY!!!! THANK YOU CLAUDIO…❤❤❤
Hope you're a successful one now. My teenager's currently having the same problem. I'm very supportive but he's not sure what he wants to do, He wouldn't even talk to me😭
*_That sounds like an amazing experience! It's great to hear that his response brought back such fond memories for you. The technology may have changed since then, but the joy of making music and sharing it with others remains the same. Keep on creating and sharing your music with the world!_*
As a DIY electronics Hobbyist, I get a lot of design inspirations from Synths. The Synths here look very beautiful apart from sounding good. These instruments are a work of art. 👌
same reason im here. making noise makers is pretty fun honestly. mainly a guitarist, for lets see... holy f--g dogs__t.. 31 years. ok im gunna need just a second... s__T. anyway i always wondered why they didnt just make effects pedals so much more crazier once i started learning all this stuff and then started getting an interest in synths and stuff of this nature. of course it all comes down to time and money i found out eventually. too crazy and not too many might wanna try and wrestle with it to make music, and the crazier it gets, the more it costs to make, and thus purchase. not to mention the bigger it gets, so the harder it then becomes to rationally and/or realistically try and play guitar through it. luckily for me, out of the myriad of crazy ass things from the last more than 31 years of life, 'rational and/or realistic' is something ive yet to be called...
@@Mogwai06 The DSPs and DAWs world of guitar and synths effects somewhat discourages me though as I don't know yet how to code. I however think the problem will be solved once I start making Midi controllers and embedding them in standalone units.
@@synqelectric6163 iim the exact same way. ive only learned all of this myself, loooong after being out of school, in which i never took any classes for this stuff. i still have my first ever pedal, my digitech RP-12. a xmas gift from my old man in 1996. was brand new then. a few years ago, it finally stopped working on me so i started trying to find out why. turns out i love this stuff, and been working my way into harder parts til now. that old RP-12 is great because its almost all through-hole parts still. has some heavy digital stuff in it as well so im almost ready to start looking at that. but ive just recently gotten into digital logic and things and when i started with pedals, i realized synths were so similar but could get way crazier. and i loved learning about all of it and building my own noise nightmares. lol so here i be.
This sort of optimism skews my entire nation's mood. We went from a scowl to a mona lisa smile as soon as Doctor Mix landed. Hope you enjoyed your trip!
When I lived in Hollywood, 90s, everyone smiled and were acting happy all the time. I used to make jokes about the British not smiling when they came to town. "You are in America now, you are allowed to smile. " Sure we were superficial but we knew how to smile and say things like, "How's it going," "great!" "Love the outfit." "Isn't that great!" Always smiley and spreading smiles. The Brits thought we were crazy. This video was reversed!
OMFG! That was fun. I was having a day feeling bummed out about some circumstances in my life, but YOU my friend brought me back to myself with your awesome energy! You are one of my faves! ❤
What a blast - thanks again Dr Mix for the entertainment & great music! And thanks to Perfect Circuit, too! I was secretly hoping you'd throw a little arpeggiator in there to Duran it up a bit ;)
Dr. Mix, thank you for this video. It has made my day awesome. Your energy is top shelf and contagious. Your subscribers get to learn just how amazing your synth knowledge is and I am inspired by your on the spot performances.
NICE AXEL F!!❤ That shop is so fun!! I got a big kick out of seeing you play the exact synths and more that I also jammed on there with my wife. It’s a small world!! Thanks for the super good vibes always Dr.Mix!!
5:40 Face and attitude of the guy in charge is just what you expect to see. when he knows that the customer comes to touch everything and is not going to buy anything- Anyway, Thankz Guy charge
Awesome vid as always , never get tired of seeing more peeps at my fav synth shop. I never get tired of seeing people come to LA, despite living here my entire life theres simple stuff like the inside of that burbank hotel that ive driven past for 30~ years and never seen the inside of.
Man, I wish I would have known Perfect Circuit was in LA. I would have stopped in on my last LA trip. I now know!!! Thanks for sharing this GREAT video!!!
That shop is absolute candy-land , I've gotten a bunch of gear from them online , they're great . Claudio , I know you would have trimmed this down a bunch , but even still your restraint here is commendable . Many of us would've been all over that place going nuts and getting nothing done but monumental quantities of noodling .
It's great in person, they stock all the boutique stuff you never see in major stores. Good people watching too, some of the people that I've encountered in there are. Uh. Memorable, to be kind about it lol
Everyone always plays axel f but the b side of the 7”single on vinyl Shoot Out was by Far the best track 👍.Maybe an idea for a future video DR.M one of your classic breakdowns ❤
Love the store! I've been there a ton of times, won a competition there for a Eurorack module. If you're in Los Angeles it's not between West Hollywood, it's next to North Hollywood, in Burbank. West Hollywoods in the other side of the hill. Love you Dr. Mix!
Wow! That looks like a great store. The infrastructure for musicmakers is great in Los Angeles. Will certainly stop by *Perfect Circuit* when I visit the city next time. That being said I like how Dr Mix "just" makes really good music.

Hello Doctor Mix.
And again I forgot to buying a Casio CZ 1 synthesizer, for you ?
Doctor Mix is the happiest pianist in the world !!! 🤩
Jesus Molina would be right up there with him.
@@mogglie you mean dr octopus...? or like a spanish dr octopus? el doctoro octo el pusso... ok so maybe i dont know that much spanish. ...or any.
He is probably caffein junky.

Cause he is not pianist)))
Axel F is the synth equivalent of Stairway to Heaven in a guitar shop. 😉

Hi Ed. What are some of your favorite albums?
A big thank you to Perfect Circuit In L.A. and thank you for all of us who are nostalgic for analog synths. THANKS
And say hi😉
Doctor Mix is without a doubt my favorite synth-related creator. So full of love for music, so talented. Amazing stuff as always
The passion is like no other I’ve seen!

I don't think it's possible to watch one of his videos and not have a big smile on your face..
9:32 The Oberheim you used for the synth bass was DIRTY! Great video as always 😊
yes, but the offbeat stab ruined it a bit, for me. granted, it was obviously the best way to fight of any copyright holders, but that's all lol
Novation summit is a beast, anologue filters 16 voice poly with fpga osc's and effects that are some of the best to be on a synth since the Virus Ti.
Great video. Love the energy. It’s 7am and I am pumped!
What a blast - thanks again Dr Mix for the entertainment & great music! And thanks to Perfect Circuit, too! I was secretly hoping you'd throw a little arpeggiator in there to Duran it up a bit ;)
What an amazing store! Always fun watching you have so much fun!
The C15 gave me some good Alan Parson's Project vibes!! That patch was pretty fine!!
Awesome video Claudio, as usual!!
Snap !

I have a really bad cold, been sick for days, the only prescription I can get is from Dr. Mix
I had so much fun watching this! Thank you Dr. Mix
This was so much fun. Thx Doctor Mix !

Absolutely an incredible shop ! That seems like a paradise 4 the SynthLovers
Doctor Mix living that life! You deserve it man!
That's incredible, Doc! 👍I like the way you make music. 😃👌💥
Excellent! Didn't disappoint :) Love that tune.
Everything sounds magnificent in the hands of a master. Good stuff! 😊
Superb production😄
I live less than a mile from Perfect Circuit. Hands down one of the best gear shops in the US. The staff is amazing and super helpful always.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much. Can't wait to check out Perfect Circuit
love your talent and positive energy as always. you bring the world smiles!
Like a kid in a candy store. You had way too much fun. Sounds great.
I love Axel F! Beverly Hills Cop 2 is one of my fave movies.
Wow. Jet lag is a hell of a drug. Lol.
He got Axel F’d. 😮
What a cool place Claudio ❤
Dr Mix, literally like a kid in a sweet shop, EATING the sweets. :P
Lol that store employee was trying so hard not to be annoyed 😂😂😂😂
First vid, instant sub! Fantastic energy
You've just created the sound to kick-start my weekend!
LOVE 💕 Beverly Hills Cop and the original sound track! My fav is definitely the Axel Foley!!! Thanks for tripping my memory tingles! Great talent!

I've never been there myself, but they've sold me a synthesizer before. Very cool to see their shop.
It looks like this was a fun video to make!

hahahaha niiiice!
@@Doctormix 👍 Hope you had a good trip! BTW I'm still waiting to see you do a cover version of something with a Otamatone... you know you want to!! 😄
@@AxelsoftMusic I saw they had a few in the shop... I was tempted. Yes I should do it :)

That was so good DOCTOR!!! Loved the MIX!!!! Great video , well worth the LONG trip!
awesome.... just awesome... and a way too cool shop!! you guys are amazing!!!
The Candy shop for key-lovers😍
Man, I wish I would have known Perfect Circuit was in LA. I would have stopped in on my last LA trip. I now know!!! Thanks for sharing this GREAT video!!!
pretty cool! I do adore the major 1 chord on the 2nd theme instead of the minor (or just 5ths with implied minor?) used in this though 🙂
Rarely had more fun watching an advert. :-)
What fun! That place is awesome and I love the video synthesizer. The whole video brought me unexpected joy tonight. Thank you.
That Oberheim is the bomb !
Brilliant. One of the best "you may also like this" videos to pop up on my TH-cam account for ages 😁
BEST Axel F Mix i have ever heard 🥰
The first tune I learned to play fully. And still the tune I can't help playing anytime I'm near a keyboard.
I visited this place 2 years ago... omg it is like disneyland for synth lovers! One of the great experience for me! I bought my Korg Minilogue there
I wonder if Kylie Minogue's got one of those, too?!
@@martynridley3671 Singing Budgie ! 😀
When you were messing around with that Pulsar-23 at one point it felt like I was listening to an Apex Twin album 😄 Loved seeing this!

Was totally worth traveling there. Thanks for presenting🎉
Oh my good the moog need it:( Iam sooo yealous right now:D Awesome to watch dr mix having fun playing arround
I had the same feeling of eurphoria when I walked into the London synthesizer centre back in the 80s. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
I love good mix/remix!
once again you are in synth heaven
This dude is my hero!
A real playground for a synthlover. 🤩
thank you mate for the great video and very interesting shop. good luck to you guys and sell more good stuff) you are awesome!))
This synth museum is my idea of heaven!
This is a store. There is an actual synth museum with a huge working selection you can rent time on south of this shop down in Hollywood.
Perfect Circuit guys are great 👍🏻
Love the store! I've been there a ton of times, won a competition there for a Eurorack module. If you're in Los Angeles it's not between West Hollywood, it's next to North Hollywood, in Burbank. West Hollywoods in the other side of the hill. Love you Dr. Mix!
Extraordinary content! A pleasure to watch.
Axel F was the song that got me into buying and playing synths. back in the old days. happy memories.. love from Denmark /Michael
Grande Claudio. Bellissimi synth, ne conoscevo pochissimi. Quello che mi è piaciuto di più è stato il suono del Super 6 e la sua linea
Hi Claudio
Many of these synthesizers were present at SynthFest France last week 😉 and free to use for 3 days.
Literally, a kid in a sweet shop. 😃👍
Wow! That looks like a great store. The infrastructure for musicmakers is great in Los Angeles. Will certainly stop by *Perfect Circuit* when I visit the city next time.
That being said I like how Dr Mix "just" makes really good music.
Dr mix kicks ass
Starting the day I no one would have ever convinced me I would sit through a twenty minute commercial, willingly and gladly.
best video i saw so mutch interesting great synths realy realy great thanks DR. great stuff
