Here's gear I recommend for a synth setup & your studio. This is almost exclusively gear I have used in my studio and know to work. (All links are affiliate links)

[@RickyTinez]

This is what i've been trying to resist doing in my studio.. but i think you've pushed me over the edge since this is so cool, it seems really fast to just turn on and start jamming on things.... damnit @BoBeats !!

[@janahodgson8060]

Thank you Bo. You answered a lot of questions about your hardware/software workflow and routing! This is exactly what I’m trying to accomplish in catching the inspiration that often comes with the use of hardware and then being able to integrate it into software for editing. That mixer looks like a key player in accomplishing that goal. Thanks!

[@tsgodman4409]

Just another excellent and inspirational video. Been moving across from an "In the Box" to a "Hybrid Creative Process" and it does take more effort and the rewiring of your brain, but the ability to touch and morph with the instruments is worth the challenge. Computers are just fantastic too but tactile and complex expressiveness can never be replicated with a mouse, everyone just loves to turn knobs, what can I say it just creates a live magic that can't be repeated. Thanks Bo, you're the best mate.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Lovely setup Bo! Quite the collection of synths you got going! Great work on the video compiling your workspace! 🔥

[@e7a7b7]

Explaining how a hardware setup isn't necessarily the way to go to create a full song / arrangement was super helpful for folks like me coming from a more conventional multi-track recording background.

[@jasonfnorth]

Great series Bo! You rock man... and are such a blessing to this amazing community of creative Sonicnauts!

[@Jhgkgfghk7]

This video is a lifesaver on merging midi paths, thank you Bo!

[@scrian]

Bo this series is great! Inspiring stuff, & now I’m super jealous of that mixer

[@sixtwentysix]

FINALLY. What a good video. Thanks Bo, just what I needed at the exact moment I needed it.

[@UndoomedOne]

Good video Bo! I have the Midi Thru Box, but this video made me realize that I need a Midi Merger too.

[@jeffmorrison5695]

Thanks Bo. That was really informative. Very much appreciated. I'm glad you took the time to cover the creative aspect here. Very inspiring.

[@ThePedroAPB]

Mr BoBeats, a timelapse video of a day (or even a week) while using the studio would be amazing!

[@kungfubeatsbysifufilter9431]

Thanks a lot for this great video. It is challenging to survive between a hardware and software environment without constantly unplugging and plugging cables. You just gave me a nice way to go. I hate to see my productive mood ruined by routing issues.

[@Eleth]

Hey Bo, thank you for this and all the other videos. I found this one specially useful, keep going!

[@metronohm808_6]

That bell sound in the first tune is utter bliss

[@cybernitemusic]

You are a born teacher... great way you talk about your passion

[@harrywilcock2030]

Nice Bo was just thinking this video was needed this morning after watching an arturia video, and hey presto your channel read my mind thanks, just got 5 instruments triggering/sequencing from the beastep pro, works very well but this is next level, nice to see your full setup

[@SvenFx-22]

I think that setup videos like this are MUCH needed. Thank you again. Any other deep dive on setups would be appreciated. Although boring to some it is much needed information. It’s only boring if you have it working. For those of us who do not it’s necessary information. Thank you again

[@michaelkonomos]

Great video. What an EPIC setup! Looks like so much fun.
