To record this piece by Pino Daniele I send the memory of my iMac to 100%ā€¦ but with the help of the Zynthian I got down to 90%. Zynthian: Rhodes, DX7, 5strings Bass Omnisphere: Slap bass Native Instruments: All Brass Omnisphere: Acoustic Guitar Arturia: Moog solo Arturia: Pads EZDrummer: Drum Voice: (unfortunately) mine I hate electronic drumsā€¦ but I had to settle for waiting for a drummer who knows how to redo what Tullio dePiscopo recorded (wonder of wonders). As always, I welcome criticism and advice. Thank you **UPLOAD!** Changed the drum sound and fixed the Moog solo @Wyleu docet **UPLOAD2** Transferred the midi tracks into audio tracks, inserted EddieKramer in the voice (which in the first part is out of time ā€¦ to be redone), added Zynthian DX7 and removed the ā€œfastā€ notes in the trumpets @ricard docet **UPLOAD3** Set the voice in time (but I have to do it again) and fix the trumpetsā€¦ [/uploads/default/original/2X/3/36af903e77aca52168ef045c190b1e364c963ec3.mp3](https://discourse.zynthian.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/36af903e77aca52168ef045c190b1e364c963ec3.mp3) ![chillo Ć© nu buono guaglione](https://discourse.zynthian.org/uploads/default/original/2X/8/87b86941379f623eb5ef3706984ab4e8a47b1247.png) ---

Iā€™d probably pace it a little faster but the lyric would then become a little crazed. The soloā€™s need attention on the trailing of the rif, perhaps get them more languid and sensual. But Amazing. Really impressive. Good voice ! Far better than anything Iā€™ve put together outside of a studio. What keyboard are you driving the zynth from? And which order did you build things up ? Drums first? then which instruments next? ---

Thanks Wyleu. Being a pianist myself, I first record the pianoā€¦ in this case a Rhodes, then I put in the bass lines. If I like everything, I start inserting keyboards and various soundsā€¦ Drums (being my Achilles heel I record it lastā€¦) are my weakest pointā€¦ I donā€™t know how to play them decently and I absolutely donā€™t know how to program midi drumsā€¦ For the speed of the piece, you have to consider that in addition to using reversed chords that Iā€™ve been studying for a few months, the piece is in Neapolitanā€¦ so itā€™s difficult for me (Iā€™m from the North) to pronounce it. But I have a Neapolitan friend who gave me a grade for pronunciation and itā€™s a 7ā€¦ To play the Zynthian I use an M-Audio 88 key Master keyboard. There are some notes to fix and then I mix it better, then I always hope for the collaboration of some drummer in the worldā€¦ there are none hereā€¦ Many thanks. ---

How do you keep time when you put the piano in? Like the acoustic guitar . Was it keyboards? Solo flows nicely nowā€¦! ---

DAW metronome (hard workā€¦much better playing with a drummer)ā€¦sometimes I just do the chord rests and then play the piano part more rhythmically on another trackā€¦ Acoustic guitar by Omnisphereā€¦ I tried to make the chords with the notes not all aligned so that it looks like a pick hit on the strings. I heard the mp3 file was corruptedā€¦now I replaced it. Another thing that helps me while recording is singingā€¦ no wordsā€¦ just na na na na na šŸ¤£ šŸ¤£ šŸ¤£ Another thingā€¦ in the mp3 file the DX7 is that of Arturiaā€¦ but I have to do it again with the Zynthian which has a wonderful DX7 that Arturia dreams ofā€¦ ---

The sounds are beautiful, you can humanize, the grid appears in the window where you can write the notes. You can download the file as audio or midiā€¦ and a thousand other things I havenā€™t learned yetā€¦ ![1682871614007](https://discourse.zynthian.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/46b45b7463f57a76cbbc60eacaa5f90bb2c8a5e7.jpeg) ![1682871613995](https://discourse.zynthian.org/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5709306f6c6c68a80fa16fc307ee5a7bc9538526.jpeg) ---

He probably means ā€œlatestā€, not ā€œlastā€. Itā€™s a common ā€œfalse friendā€ from the Italian ā€œultimoā€, which may mean either. ---

My daughter has learnt Latin from language apps, and is now learning Italian, which given the Englishā€™s famous reticence about learning languages is a very positive development. My son is conversant in Norwegian. No one knows whyā€¦ ---

I love Italian and many of its dialects. I only use a few words in English when making international connections with my radio stationā€¦ If I had the head to learn a language, I think I would learn Russian (this has nothing to do with the situation in Europe now). My big dream? An evening at the Bolshoji Theater in Moscowā€¦ I come from classical musicā€¦ Itā€™s right that young people learn other languagesā€¦ your children are good. Thanks Wyleuā€¦ ā€¦ e grazie mille Nicola. ---

ā€œLastā€ can be used to mean ā€œmost recentā€. Obviously it is ambiguous because it also means the final one although that tends to relay to deceased or retired people. My I hope my last song is not my _last_ song! ---
