How Hard Can It Be to ReMake a Hit With This Tiny Setup?

Описание: I saw this tiny mobile audio interface from Synido and was immediately transported back to the late 90s — an era of slick, silver "futuristic" design. The first song that came to mind? The iconic "I'm Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65.

So, I decided to challenge myself: can I remake this 1998 hit using only a phone and this tiny device? And because I can't do anything simple, I'll be doing it in the most chaotic, convoluted way possible!

I'll be sampling everything directly into the powerful Koala Sampler app, using it like a DAW to build the track piece by piece. Join me as I attempt to layer drums, piano, bass, and synth. For the vocals, I'm even attempting to use the Teenage Engineering PO-Speak to replicate that legendary robot sound. Will it work? I have no idea.

This video is a journey into creative music-making with limited gear, a throwback to 90s nostalgia, and a testament to why sometimes, the most complicated path is the most fun.

Key moments:

The inspiration behind this weird project

Connecting the Synido A20 to my phone

Laying down the drum beat (and a funny story about my daughter)

Recording the piano with a Tula Mic

Adding the bass guitar with a multi-fx pedal

The chaotic attempt to get the vocals right with the PO-Speak

Putting it all together and the final result!
