Recreating the sound of Cocteau Twins guitars, synth, keys & beats

The amount of work this video has is insane!! Congrats bro, you got no idea of how many new things someone can learn here

Is certainly put CT records in a time capsule for future generations to discover.

This is awesome

Hey man, whats the name of your outro? Or is it yours? Sounds awesome

where did u find those drumulator samples??

Do you recall where you got the Drumulator rock samples from?

i remember on the website him saying he used chorus > reverb > delay > reverb, and also using micro pitch shifts as a stereo spread. I’m not even sure he used amps in the studio, just rack effects and preamps

If goth was still alive today Im sure youd fit in great with the wave public.
Infact it was the goth subculture that got me introduced to shoegaze to begin with.

How did you get that guitar sound? Is it a effect or just form the amps?

Amazing video, love this band

Super nitpicky but the drum groove in Lorelei is actually closed hats then open, not open then closed, the open is on the offbeats. Only mentioning because the drums were otherwise super accurate. Sounds amazing though great work!

Would love to see from stuff from Head Over Heels.

Why do you label Cocteau Twins as "dreampop" and not "Shoegaze"?

What did you mean by "warm drumbeats"?

Nice enough content 👍 Are you sequencing your samples in Ableton or in other DAW?

If anyone has a Marshall Code 50 setup recommendations, well, that's what I've got...

Thanks for taking the time to do that. You picked good tracks too. Would like to see more Cocteau tunes.

Your sound d'nt resemble vaguely at the original.

Nice!

guitar tone?

my ears ascended whenever you started playing the persephone drum beat- that is my favorite song!

You nailed the sound so perfectly, nice job

where did u get the EMU drumulator samples??

You have chosen my favourite Cocteau Twins from Treasure and HOLV.

Any bass????

How do you find the Jaguar Player? I have read mixed reviews. A Wide Range Humbucker in the bridge could be nice!

Hey Kenneth love the video. I do think that the open hihat on Lorelei has a different placing on the original track. You play it in accordance with the kick drum (4/4) . Maybe it's already been discussed in other comments. Still great video, really enjoyed it

Excellent. Can you tell me the zoom settings you used for blind dumb deaf?

This music was often the accompaniment of my late teens, especially Treasure.

Awsome. 😀😃😄😁

Awesome ...

Very nice.

can you explain how you configured the three stacked delays? i’m just a bit confused as to how to use them to get the right effect

Great video, irs amazing how well the individual parts sound ehen you bring them together. They were truly genius. The scratchy sound at the end is possibly the Zoom clipping in that unusable way cheaper digital pedals sometimes do, when driven hot by a drive pedal or feedback loop. I know the Zoom isn't cheap compared to some, but the amount of algorithms it contains suggests that none of them are that sophisticated due to memory constraints

hello 🤗 thx you for this video, you did a real great job 👍
Im myself from the generation who listened these bands during the middle of the 80's and made some revival during the early 90's playing music directly inspired by darkwave n gothic 🤗
Im also guitarist and I usually played Persephone without distortion, just clean chorus reverb etc... I think it sound better but, off course, it's just a matter of taste 👍
Also im always astonished and pleased that young people recreat and reinvent this kind of music 🤗 there are so many underated band 🤗 My daughter who is 14 listen also that kind of music as well, she discovered that from herself: one day she was listened a things and I told her "oh it sound like Christian Death Drowning" and she replied "yes it is dad, i like it" 😅
Also im French German guy so plz be aware that my English could sound strange, Im fluent but maybe my words arent the best choice 😂

I remember hearing the first cocteau twins record when first played on the uk radio 1 John Peel channel and been a fan ever since. You have done an amazing job here. Its just like the original. Incredible.

IIRC, the many of the 'synth' sounds were actually just very processed, DI'd guitars, but the sound in Lorelei and Ivo from Treasure was almost certainly DX7 bell sound.

Hello... What a class! Thanks for the video... And sorry for the wrong words eventually. I am from Brazil.
Could you please explain A Kissed Out Red Floatboat, also by Cocteau Twins? I'm in love with those sounds, and would love to know how it was made.
Congratulations for the channel, and for the great taste in music.

Thank You!! ❤

One of the bands that sound close minus the female vocals is Dathomirror Doors, they kinda sound more like Clan Of Xymox

What pedal board gives you the best bang for your Buck that allows you to add the most pedals? What power supply would I need?

Thank you fot your work to clear methods of CTwins, but they are stil misterious at all.

You have an unbelievable ear and talent.
BTW, do you know if there is the standard snare sound for the drumulator that I can download?
I really like that huge sound on Sugar Hiccups

Hell yeah , those beats from Treasure are so good, that album touches me on a deep level . Thanks for this great video

your channel is much appreciated man

anyone got a link for the drum samples

Thank you so much! I discovered Cocteau Twins in a very special moment of my life and have tried to capture that unique sound ever since. You definitely nailed it

"Were a dream pop band" is a bit of an understatement, since they literally invented the genre - awesome recreations though, really awsome.
