"Making edits of the edits": Max Cooper jams with synths and breaks down the workflow behind Swarm

[@THR-zf6ti]

Wow - that so fantastic to see this master at work

[@famousarmystudio]

it's nice to see a true hands on approach to sound design using pedals. Sure plugins can do a lot that, but there is something very human about the imperfections and nuances from turning knobs and pressing buttons while reacting to the video sequence.

As great as it is to see the genius Max Cooper at work, I can't help but feel like this is a missed opportunity. A better quality (& more consistent) view of his screen would have given great insight into how he approaches building his sounds, and a bit of guidance on the structure of what he's showing would have helped a lot. For example a specific section for how he approaches creating his synth & percussion sounds with maybe a prepared example would have been amazing. Definitely still some useful ideas in here though!

Max Cooper is a genius!Thanks for the video!

[@measures_of_distance]

master at work

[@IainMacBev-br7df]

Did anyone catch the name of the lamellaphone plucking instrument Max uses?

[@measures_of_distance]

Did you find out what kinda audio interface he uses?!

[@elowine]

The most amazing thing is that he got video working inside of Ableton without it crashing every second. I gave up after trying every single codec known to mankind.

[@peamarte]

here the audio project seems to weigh much more than a single video track. There's nothing strange

[@leefox1571]

Does anyone know what pedals / boxes hes using?

[@duncanmaclennan9624]

There’s a video from a month ago on this channel where he goes through some of the pedals

[@duncanmaclennan9624]

Microcosm, giger counter….

You can see Max discuss his synths and pedals in this video - Max Cooper: "The way I work is more like a sculptor than a musician" - Studio tour and interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5bPd2p7pcqBpNE

I didn’t really get educated on what gear was used or methods for recording. Cool sounds tho
