Just shows how good that track is when you can listen to that hook over and over and it still bangs.

Never gets old.

2 nerds in the studio! Love it

It's amazing how many nuances that can be found in a song that you just never notice, and probably never will have, until someone like the Doctor diligently does the surgery. Just mind-boggling. I just absolutely love this tear-down!

Claudio is right, you could actually listen to this amazing track for a very long time. It's still that good after all those years. Great job!

Really impressive. Of course the hardest thing to emulate would be Annie's voice...

I never realized how well constructed sonically and musically this song was until I saw you reconstruct it. I knew and enjoyed the song but never perceived all the details that contribute to make it what it is.

No quantising, no pro-tools, no plug-ins and generally pretty primitive technology. It makes you realise the amount of work and imagination that went into the original. And then to top it all, the extraordinary voice of Annie Lennox.

Not really, the original used a MCS Drum Computer (you can see it on the music video) for drum sounds, and also triggered sequences on a Roland SH synth (SH-2 most likely) for the main bass riff, perfectly quantized :) Plus step sequencers tend to create lines that are catchy and not like what you would play by hand, if your creating from scratch. “The drum computer was triggering a sequence into the Roland SH‑101 that sounded powerful, and the Oberheim (OB-X) was more of a soft string sound that we managed to cut off so it made it more attacking. I think it was actually a preset, I don’t think we made the sound. The Roland is playing the original sequence and then Annie was playing in between it. ‘Sweet Dreams’ always confuses keyboard players when they try and play it, because they don’t realise it’s actually two keyboard parts that are playing completely different things.”

PRIMITIVE?! If it's truly primitive then it'd be a peace of cake to replicate!

One of my favorite songs, really changed music back in the day.

Doing something like this is absolutely insanely hard. As you show it is just using your ear and understanding where the sounds lie in the tonal spectrum. It is an impressive feat.

This might be the best reconstruction video you've ever done. Amazing and I am just loving the collaboration!

So many times I've screamed at these awesome reconstruction videos, shouting "just compress the hell out of it!!" and "EQ it a bit more!" or "where did the piano go!?" forgetting I could never accomplish such greatness. Well done Claudio and crew. So many of these early synth hits relied upon heavy processing otherwise it would just sound like a Bontempi organ🙂That Oxford Infiltrator is super-cool and don't forget the mastering considerations that made songs like this leap out of FM radio back in the day when pumped through an OptiMod

LOL @markwrightrf. Like you, I have gotten really good at hearing something that's wrong, but still not so good at making something that's right. ;)

Brilliant recreation! While each part is spot on, I can still hear the unmatched warmth and grit of all the analog sonics in the original. It also allows you to admire that Stewart and Lennox weren’t necessarily ‘looking’ for these exact sounds. They were simply using the tools available to them and created pure magic! I just noticed the Donna Summer vid. Would love to see more Giorgio Moroder!

Interesting. I thought the original sounded like it had less warmth - a bit harsher even. I guess they couldn't added even more warmth by running it through a good tape emulation, like the Studer 800 by uaudio.

@FrothingFanboy

@@drinkinslim It absolutely needs tape sound. The new version is way too clear.

Be great if you did a reconstruction of sounds like a melody by AlphaVille especially the newer remastered version. I did love your channel keep up the great work.

I live 5mins from Ellon Aberdeenshire where Annie grew up. One of the best voices ever to come out of Scotland!

Wonderful recreation - as a budding electronic musician back then it struck me that Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were incredibly generous in sharing how they worked, often in makeshift conditions, but despite all of that the output was incredible. They did multiple interviews - I remember One, Two, Testing magazine - my bible at the time, had many articles featuring them that were rivetting, informing and insparational. Well done for creating such a fine version of a masterpiece. This track will go on for generations - and your video is pretty awesome too!

Amazing, really enjoyed the whole process that we saw! well done Dr Mix and team

Love Eurythmics, Dave Stewart is a synth god, along with Annie Lennox beautiful vocals, this piece epitomises the music of the 80s. Every time I hear this piece it takes me straight back to my clubbing days, much like millions of us I’d guess. Who says time travels impossible? 😆 Within seconds of the first beat the dance floors were full. Great music, great memories. You guys amaze me. Positive it’s much easier making the original than trying to accurately reconstruct it later. Impressive work guys, all thats missing are those fabulous Annie Lennox vocals, probably even more difficult to reconstruct accurately. Sounds like a challenge😅 Brilliant video guys.

actually, Annie Lennox played synth on “Sweet Dreams”, too; Dave programmed the drums, but the synths were played by both 😎

The funny thing is, the synth in the record was a Roland Juno 6, and I think I can see a Juno in the back of the studio in this video.😄

I agree although there’s never been consensus. Some say it was an OBX

Sweet dreams is all times classic!

Really impressed with the knowledge and ears to be able to pick out what is happening on the record and then replicate it to have them play side by side. Amazing work. Also that Synth loop Rocks 🤘

Troppo forte!!! Top quality

Amazing that not only is this a tinless riff, but the number of layers and effects to make the magic happen

The best syn track ever and Annie's vocals are off the chart for greatness ❤

This one was I think the most closest reconstruction toward the original, assistance does alot.

You guys really nailed this one.

Dave Stewart did a breakdown of the song in a podcast a few years back - he played the original isolated bass and then the synth that goes over the top. Apparently, he slowed a low tom sound to create the big bass drum sound. And of course, used real bottles for those bits!

Italian energy vs. British lushness ... what a team! 😀

It's amazing to me how quickly you arrive at the main synth sound.

Best synthesizer instruction ever.

I love Italian Claudio is. Wine bottles in the studio!

Great job guys! I always love seeing how a great sounding track comes together!

I really appreciate how you took your time to recreate the synth keeping the integrity of the original!!! Sounds matter!!!

Great video but no credit to your engineer? He’s not mentioned anywhere that I can see…

I love these reconstructions! Please do more of these! I understand they take a lot of time and work, but they’re so cool!

I like this. I would say a reconstruction is complete when its close enough that the differences are a matter of taste. I prefer some elements of your reconstruction, and some elements from the original.

This is one of may favourite tracks from the eighties. Very nice recreation!

WoW discovered Dr mix a few weeks ago . I am not a musician, I been a dj for over 40 years and I rediscovered many songs noticing now various sounds on my ve revealing systems it blows me of now Safri duo bongos song , rythme is a dancer from snap I am SOOOOOOOO HAPPY TO REDISCOVER MY MUSIC .

I love how you work together! Awesome video, its always so interesting to see how a complex sound starts out as something like a simple sawtooth.

Your work is always amazingly outstanding! Thanks a bunch Dr Mix and Mr Mixer 🙏 ❤

This is truly a luxurious gift! ❤

Excellent tribute.

Thank you for including the mixing process! Had no clue some of those sounds were in the original - which I have been listening to for years! Yall did a fantastic job.

It's nice to see you expanding the team and to see them participating well in the video's. The whole video is such a delight to view. And this might be your best reconstruction yet tbh

Superb - one of your best reconstructions yet!

Amazing and one of my Favorite 80s tracks of all time

Oh yes. ❤❤❤ This song is so complex has many layers. So cool.

Amazing job and excellent teamwork! Well done

The magic of your video channel is the great enthusiasm and overwhelming own joy for making music and the incomparable selection of iconic real synthezisers. Love you and your videos!

One of the best reconstruction for me . Awesome great work.

The two of you guys have personalities that balance each other out perfectly. Fun to watch. Thanks gentlemen!

Excellent reconstruction of this timeless classic. ❤️

I want your ears! Amazing how you guys can hear the details and differences in the sound. I can to a certain degree, but not the way you guys can. Thumbs up, really!

You both are great, really exciting clip

That was seriously impressive!

Best thing iv seen you do. keep this format...

amazing work, really! congrats

Great reconstruction, very details.

I think this is one your most accurate recreations to date.

Just perfect thanks !

Awesome video! Really technical, I definitely learned a couple of things

Cool and well done of the dynamic duo!

Thanks Doc, such a fun and informative video of a great tune. Bravo!

Hello! I was addicted to this reconstruction that is great. I heard something different and I found out what I think it is. The last 2 notes of the main bass sequence should be A# and C. That is how it sounds to me the original. What do you think?

I am impressed with the way you two were able to dissect the large number of sounds on this track. Also, I have come to appreciate all the hard work and creativity Annie and Dave display in this. Man, that’s really impressive. Bravo, Eurythmics and bravo, Dr. and co.

It would be tremendously interesting if you analysed Blade Runner soundtrack. A masterpiece from the synth genius Vangelis.

Maaaaaaan I could watch these long videos forever!

instant classic!

Fantastic video!! Absolutely loved watching, especially interesting to see how to work with someone else and the mixing part of the process.

Loving your videos and I'm learning at the same time

Delicious video!! Thanks a lot!

you are the best, doctor mix!!

I am never less than totally mindblown by how you can pull apart a song, take each small part in isolation and remake it from basics. As commented by others, it also shows how much went into the original. An awesome song - I'm a Bass singer by nature, but remember reviving my falsetto at the turn of the '90s by singing along to Annie Lennox on Eurythmics greatest hits - she's just amazing. There's a song called something like 'I Could Give You' which really challenged me to emulate vocally.

One of my all time greatest synth song. Thank you for your video, Claudiomics. 👍👍👍👍👍

This sounds so good!! You just cannot beat this classic!! I’ve tried a couple of times recreating it and I haven’t gotten anywhere as close as you both have done!! It’s spot on!! 👌👏

This evening before you posted this video I'd just shown your equinox video to my father as we both loved that and oxygene and then our conversation got on to Dave Stewart as my father has his first ever record he did years ago. The record sleeve was signed by Dave as they all went to the folk clubs together. The sleeve mysteriously disappeared from our house but the single remains. We got on talking about him and Brian Harrison and what ever happened to Brian. Dave went to school just around the corner from where my parents live now and where I worked over 10 years ago. Dave eventually worked with a youth group in Sunderland I worked at from over in Hollywood and sent us his Acoustic guitar to raffle. We got on to Eurythmics and then you posted the video.

Magnifique, j'adore ce que vous faites !!!

GREAT SONG! Excellent reconstruction!

Amazing work! I wish I could like this video twice!

Amazing! I love it.

You are the Man... Excelent work.

As awesome as always. 😍

Wow! This is epic!

I have no idea how either of you can hear those amazingly subtle differences. Love how you can recreate music from scratch.

The main thing is to push cntrl+s😊 every second for not loosing all the notes of the masterpiece! 😁✊🏻 Bottles reminded Tony Banks and "I can't dance". And also all sample things of Depeche mode: fireworks "drums" of "Question of time", beating a palm on vacuum cleaners tube = bass notes of " Behind the wheel" and lots of other original samples)) Thanks a lot! 🤘🏻✊🏻 Very impressed! 👍🏻 Take care, guys!!! 🤘🏻
