This video is evidence that *Arrangement* > *Mixing* These days, people are too obsessed with mix and production techniques, but a good arrangement beats everything else.
@@DeezeNutsX These days, the approach seems to be about forcing everything to work through aggressive mixing/mastering. We seem to forget that the original Sound Stages were 100+ people, in one room, standing in the right place, playing a beautifully arranged song, live. This book on Mastering I read once sort of laid it out like "If you have a good arrangement/composition, the mixing will be much easier, and if you have a good mix, the mastering will be much easier." Exactly like what you're saying.
Mr. Katsunori, I love all your videos, but your "Track Making" videos are my favorite. You make it look so easy! Thank you for all the hard work. I'm amazed at your skill. You're a true shokunin.
It sounds really like from the 80's, e. piano, slap bass...... Glad that I grew up in the 80's to experience the great synth and all those 80's music. BTW, the original DX7 Mk1 can actually produce amazing string sounds even without layering or unison. ８０年代のいい感じの音楽ですね。ユニゾン無しでも、オリジナルDX７はサンプラーやハイブリッドシンセにも負けない綺麗でリアルなストリング音を出せます。Long live the DX7!!
It's a sound developper, he created the soundbank from Motif ES, Korg and lot of Yamaha synthetizer ! This guy is legendary, he created a lot of famous preset on some synthetizer. When I was reading his biography I was not ready for that !
As a sound designer he has created sounds for many Yamaha synthesizers such as the DX, SY, QY, VL, EX, CS, and MOTIF series, as well as sounds for Arturia’s software synthesizers.
Absolutely FANTASTIC Ujiie! It was very cool to see Cubase in another language! I thought the DX STRINGS could have done with a little 'Level Scaling' in the treble, but otherwise that was a GREAT demo. PLEASE make some more with the DX7II/FD soon?
Hey there Ujiie, amazing demo. I own a DX7 IID myself, and I'd really love to know the name of the patches you used. At least, do you remember which cartridge they were featured on? Keep up the amazing work and thank you from Italy
That's a nice piano sound at the start of the video...........the DX 7 has earnt it's place in history whether you like those fm sounds or not....but is using a real DX 7 that much different to running an FM plugin?
I've noticed that when he does solos/leads he likes to bend the pitch wheel down. Which is interesting for me because when ever I do solos/leads I've always pitch-bended up. Maybe it's because I grew up watching a lot of live shows of guitarists like David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler who as guitarists have to bend the strings up when doing solos...and I guess I subconsciously picked it up when playing synths.
I had a Yamaha V-50, which went out after the DX-7, and played with it for 15 years (1 kilo per year return on investment ;) How fun are those sounds right? I don't know what I like better - your playing skills or the fact you're having FUN with sounds! Great inspiration and going back to basics! Arigato :)
Teacher Katsunori Ujiie, I like your music performance very much。From youtube ,I learn many class about synthesizer, Tis time, the Yamaha DX7ii Track making , I like the song very much ,especially the last solo track , the patch sounds great,would you please tell me about the patch much more information . thank you very much !
+Michael Bauers Oh yes; back in the day you had to have multiple synths and a mixer. Later would come some synths/samplers multi-capable with multi outputs. My setup in 91 was DX7, Korg M1 (multi, 4 outputs) E-mu Proteus 1 (multi, 6 outs), Atari 1040STE w. Cubase 2.0, Alesis Midiverb III, Yamaha FX 500 and a crappy 16ch mixer from Samick. We later got a Fostex 4 track with SMPTE-sync, but for that to happen, we had to sacrifice a track....
This man casually throws in an awesome solo to the end and doesn't even record it... I would wonder what awesomeness would they play that would be worthy of recording.
What is the software you're using? Also what type of interface & computer? Thanks for the video.Wish I understood your language…I love those funky sounds on the DX7II.

今更ながらですがシンセサイザーって同じオシレータから発信された音であるにもかかわらず、その波形によりベースになったりエレピになったりブラスになったりそれぞれが独立した楽器の音として機能するのが不思議ですね。特にＦＭ音源の場合、その後のＰＣＭのようにサンプリング技術を使わずして比較的リアルな器楽音をシミュレートできる不思議さが当時世界を席巻しましたね。こんなすごい楽器がもう30年も前のツールだとは信じられない。
すごい、ちゃんと80年代だ。
なんでFM音源って今聞いてもいい音色と思えるんだろう。FM音源って独特な不思議な魅力がありますね。

If your arrangement is on point, you will have a WAY easier job mixing, half of your work is done with proper recording techniques and arrangement

This guy is just really talented
Couldn't say it BETTER myself !
この方は何十年もやってるプロですから、このぐらいはできていただかねばなりません。
Always the best melodies! I wish he made an album :(
This guy is awesome. ;) Can`t stop watching his videos. I quite enjoyed this demonstration.

やっぱ、DX7は最高ですねーw演奏されている氏家さんがノリノリな感じが分かりますw
not just a demo, but a genius at work!
Who is this guy??!? Some kind of old-school 80s-90s legendary composer?
Tommy Sasaki It looks like he's very popular. I bet his career is full of success.
It's a sound developper, he created the soundbank from Motif ES, Korg and lot of Yamaha synthetizer ! This guy is legendary, he created a lot of famous preset on some synthetizer. When I was reading his biography I was not ready for that !

Yep, look for K.Ujiie on arturia presets.
this guy is a legend
落ち着く独特の優しさのある雰囲気がいいですね。
心地よい……
かっこいい。シャレオツ。フュージョンのお洒落な感じ。うじいえさん最高です
Wow. Talk about breathing new life into the DX7. This is funky!
Now I wanna see if I can make something with the FM synth plugins I got.
動画は７年前なのに今感動してます。
As much as I love the track, the intro to this video is one of the prettiest things I've heard!
Super good Harmonica solo!
Excellent! Love the music & the DX7!!
The intro is SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL
And this is why the music to Rondo's Annex in YS Origin is so amazing. Japanese Jazz is just awesome.
Great demo! Your synth reviews are the best!
This video makes me happy inside
Awesome harmonica's melody!
I bet this guy can compose and record a full album in a single day!
Ujiee did that.
At the rate he's going, I bet he could do it in an hour!
That’s why Asians are better
I love his videos.....he's really having fun doing these...so much different than the cut and paste artists we so often see
The Dx7 is amazing synth! Riccardo
素晴らしい！どうもありがとうございます克典先生！私は日本語を勉強し始めましたとあなたのビデオを視聴します！
So that's where all those harmonica solos in the 80s tunes come from!
isn't she lovely
Powerful Katsunori! :') Always the best tracks making.
Love them!
love this style, very 70s-80s melody and funkyfeel, enjoy your uploads very much.
Ha, this is really awesome!!! When I was a teenager back then I dreamed of having a DX7 II.
Absolutely FANTASTIC Ujiie! It was very cool to see Cubase in another language! I thought the DX STRINGS could have done with a little 'Level Scaling' in the treble, but otherwise that was a GREAT demo. PLEASE make some more with the DX7II/FD soon?
This is awesome. Love the DX7 so much.
Your hand timing is perfect. Wonderful.
Hey there Ujiie, amazing demo. I own a DX7 IID myself, and I'd really love to know the name of the patches you used. At least, do you remember which cartridge they were featured on? Keep up the amazing work and thank you from Italy
Musictrackjp and Katsunori UJIIE ... always AWESOME
Ujiie-san, you the best!
I get tears from laughing man everytime you say : '' 1 , 2 , C! '
You need to be a producer man and bring us 80s music back!
You are very talented and super cool :)
すごい！！！めちゃかっこいい！！！！大好きです！！！
That's a nice piano sound at the start of the video...........the DX 7 has earnt it's place in history whether you like those fm sounds or not....but is using a real DX 7 that much different to running an FM plugin?
Sugoi ne~~~~ honto no arigatou gozaimasu!
I just bought a DX7 and am feeling inspired...
Merci beaucoup sensei!

Great inspiration and going back to basics!
Arigato :)
This guy is a true legend💯
amazing!!!! is great you are making tracks and not only a review!! nice track by the way! :)
Excellent as usual
Belle démonstration avec ce pionnier DX 7 II clavier maitre midi.
Teacher Katsunori Ujiie, I like your music performance very much。From youtube ,I learn many class about synthesizer, Tis time, the Yamaha DX7ii Track making , I like the song very much ,especially the last solo track , the patch sounds great,would you please tell me about the patch much more information . thank you very much !
That was great...so fun to watch 😀 Love those classic DX7 sounds.
lol "right, there's no way out of it. .it's a DX after all. Electric piano!". golden.
Would fit right in on an Outrun soundtrack. Excellent as always!
You make my head bobbing and my foot tapping !
YOU ARE SO AMAZING YOU MADE THAT LOOK LIKE CHILDS PLAY I AM IN AWE OF YOUR AWESOMENESS UJIIIE SAN
Amazing work!
I admire you mister Katsunori
Excellent… love it. No idea what you said, but the music spoke. ❤️
I love when he starts dancing !!! hahaha so hilarious ;) great performance, Sensei Ujiie.
Really nice funky feelin mister UJIIE !
Very nice composition.
Do you share the sounds, I have also a DX7 II and I like so much all this sounds, specially the last solo one.
the 80's brass still rocks ...
bravo !! Always like to watch your videos ! ))
Japanese city pop!!
凄い。。そして心底楽しそう！
I'm a little surprised that Michael McDonald was not immediately summoned by this awesome song for an impromptu vocal.
You are a genius... This is said too much in life, but in your case it is applicable
なるほど、この「エレピ」の音色、聞いたことが有ります。DX7だったんですね。
his enthusiasm is infectious!
Very 80s indeed!
Where can one find the final track produced?
Awesome. Presumably one must do this with multi audio tracks as I don't think synths of this era did multi-timbral mode?
+Michael Bauers Oh yes; back in the day you had to have multiple synths and a mixer. Later would come some synths/samplers multi-capable with multi outputs.

That shirt came with the DX7
Old Яomans lol haha
Hahahaha 😂 😂 couldn't stop laughing yo..
I did notice it too, despite being astounded by his skills.
I wish it did! I'd by a DX7 tonight!
😂😂😂😂😂
PS whomever is giving thumbs down to the happiest synth player on the internet needs their CR2032 changed.

COOL synth YAMAHA DX7II !
vous êtes un champion Bravo maître mes respects
UJIIE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!
Got to get my YAMAHA DX7 IIFD back from my uncle's place. It just sits now, but works excellent.
DX7, The Legend!
This guy just re-invented the soundtrack for Beverly Hills Cop in less than 10 minutes.
That drum track is awesome! I wonder how he made it.
I have to get my DX7IIFD up and running again!!!!
Saikou!!
Very nice track!
Can you show us Track Making on Korg X3 synth kindly? Using internal sequencer if possible.. Domo arigatou!
Really an excellent demo, sounds great
You’re the best honor man! 🙇🏽♂️
Do you release these tracks anywhere? I'd like to download them :D
3:06 このフレーズがたまらん
Hey Ujiie! You have to start adding subtitles to ALL your videos when you upload them! HIre someone to do it for all. You'll be a SUPERSTAR :D
DNG Maestro tuviste razón.
man those strings really bring the track alive, more than any other sound used.
What is the software you're using? Also what type of interface & computer? Thanks for the video.Wish I understood your language…I love those funky sounds on the DX7II.
Very good! You're a pro.
I like that shirt too!
Great demo, nice personality :)
Always feels like I am watching the most sought-after Roland senior product manager when watching this. guy 😁🤟🎹
Thank you Ujie-san!
I really enjoy your videos!
