Hey Edward the computer Kygo uses is the iMac Pro (the space gray) and it’s much more expensive than the regular iMac and the specs are much more than the ones you mentioned. The cheapest one is $5,000 usd. Still great video, keep on going!

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Thanks for the info!

[@omfgihopethisworks]

OMG HE HAS A MIDI KEYBOARD AND SPEAKERS INSANEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I would like to correct something kygo actually uses the Mackie big knob not the m-audio fastrack

[@j-ude5771]

Thank you

[@SriharshaaPrabhakar]

Very Good

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Thanks For Watching!!! 🙏

[@sexysniper232]

You should look at live performers too... Reggie Watts, Tash Sultana, Marc Rebillet... Just a thought.

[@OneStepToday]

Can sonarworks equilizer for speakers do the similar job like that expensive speakers you shown here?

[@GazziAmplification]

Not sure where you saw the M-Audio interface. He is using an apollo (right rack) with a Mackie big knob studio command system both visible on thhe background video you posted

[@St.Ivory_]

do aviciis setup in the 2016-2017 clips pls :)

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Great idea!! Will have a look 💪🏼

[@AshishDavidOfficial]

Great video! Would you do one on Martin Garrix?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I’ll definitely look into it 👌🏼

[@SpleefyGames]

You can check Twenty One Pilots’s Tyler Joseph studio, it is just incredible

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Will definitely have a look!

[@seinesooshaftigkeit8056]

5:44 there is now a cheaper version called seaboard block. its only 300$

[@rathodvinubhai6424]

Good

[@shadabtanjeed]

just to be clear, he uses an iMac pro, not the regular iMac. you can recognize it since it is dark grey in color. the regular iMacs are silver

[@borisakwablintanny5659]

Whhaaaaaaat M-audio fast track?!?!?? Wow!!!! Gears dont mean anything without the right genius applied!

[@faustasvenckus841]

Actually it’s UAD :D You can clearly see UAD in the video

[@acmediasolution]

iMac Pro!!!

[@nogoogleplus]

This is NOT an insane studio...it is a very basic setup.

[@piotr803]

yeah, fucking clickbait title

[@mstudio6338]

yeah, genelec monitors are very common, every second producer have it lmao

I wish we'd see more of Kygo's studio, instead of what seems like an ad for hardware.

[@apl0musik]

I definitely say you take a crack at deadmua5 studio I would genuinely be surprised if you could nail most of the gear!

[@whatzupcj5548]

Can I get the information about that work desk pls?

[@maddinlawrenz4682]

The gear doesn´t make a better musician. A good musician is a good musician, even without any gear.

[@murph226]

Exactly it made me annoyed every time he said a price f equipment is essential 😂 I have a full set up with midi keyboards and pc but I’ve made better music on my laptop 🤣

[@nikitabeatz6249]

His desk is amazing, do u know from what company ?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

You can get this desk at sweetwater music.

[@IshaanNigamOfficial]

I am a singer and currently using SAMSON C01u USB Condenser Microphone and want to upgrade my home vocal recording setup. I am confused with the following microphones: 1. Lewitt LCT 240 PRO 2. Lewitt LCT 440 PURE 3. AKG P120 4. AKG P220 Also, I am confused with the following sound cards: 1. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen 2. Audient EVO 8 Note : I don't have a treated room. Looking forward for your suggestion.

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Get an Audio Technica AT2035 and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2... That's all you need!

[@Jakobeffjd]

Invest in yourself, get a Slate ml1 VMS or a Neumann TLM102/103, audio interface I would recommend UAD, either solo or twin X, better preamps and headroom, better sound than scarlett paired with Lewitt or Akg

[@royal1234ful]

Can u talk about sound proofs too?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I will definitely do that!!

[@ProfilsEntrepreneursTv]

Hello everyone, I would like to have an opinion from everyone. I have Focal speakers usually connected to the Audient sound card via Mono jack cables. Yesterday I went to the Store for a 1176 compressor from Warm Audio and explaining my installation and connection the technician made me understand that they had just done a Training and that for the speakers they must always be connected with Jacks to 2 Stereo bands and not 1 Mono band jack cables. Is it true ? What do you think? Supposedly to have a Stereo sound coming from the speakers because if the speakers are connected with cables with 1 Mono band from left to right the reproduction of the Stereo Sound is not possible... I await your Opinions thank you

[@alvarot.841]

What are you talking about? The Apollo interface is shining right under the Yamaha speaker...

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I mentioned that he now uses an Apollo

[@fatouosahalawa5697]

👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@Tomatofury]

He uses a UAD satellite and an Apollo 8 pre

[@tashiramusic]

What keyboards does he use ?

[@HeinKoKEKO]

You left soundcard and another synthiz And so more.

[@giantbear829]

Edward hes got a imac pro on his desk, not a standard imac.

[@danielsaintmusic]

Good quality video, but a lot of the info is incorrect just a heads up no hate! (Imac is iMac Pro, much more expensive and wayyyyyy more powerful, interface is UAD, monitors are HS8) Would love to see other producer setups with a bit more research done beforehand because this is a great idea and you have a great voice for voiceover! Cheers

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Thank you for the heads up!!

[@chrissdrone]

Daniel Paul Music those are h5s

[@zay4342]

Uh those are HS5s

[@zay4342]

No hate.... respectfully

[@YoungAnsaneWT]

His interface is a Mackie Big Knob

[@henningstrandvik8245]

Thats just his monitor controller..

[@ChrisBessy]

@@henningstrandvik8245 yes Big Knob is passive ..... I have one at home with my focusrite .....

[@amstaffkygodrumnetic8227]

What does kygo use for a desktop pc? He must have installed his program somewhere

[@pallakshaikh2612]

1 comment 😎😎😎😎😎

[@thechampollion]

Bro, impossible that Kygo will use an audio interface with so low quality and semi professional RCA connectors. Yes he uses UAD as you can see on that video. Right bellow the mac the small black box is a UAD satellite power processing unit, and bellow it mounted in the rack of the desk his UAD unit. His monitors are connected to an old model Mackie BigKnob.

[@viktorrosenberg5117]

Do you know where his desk is from?

[@distantofficial6870]

In what universe is this setup INSANE?

[@ryval655]

I am astonished, it's such a simple setup for a main stream artist. He proves that costly gear is not required, just a creative brain.

[@chan270]

Now where are the four (4) monitor speakers connected?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

They are connected to a hub, and then the interface.

[@chan270]

@@EdwardSmithMusic Thanks for this, cause i just started and have a scarlet but wondered how to connect multiple monitors.

[@HotelPools]

Genelecs running though a big knob...? Nooooo sirrrrr

[@davidg.250]

What vst plugins kygo use?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

He mainly uses Sylenth and Nexus Plugins.

[@hans-fred3282]

so what is the name of his desk?

[@CronoidGameReviews]

I disagree on your statement on the NS10s, they were not chosen because they were "Bad", they are use so much because of the "Flat" Sound, which is important when you Mix. The HS5 for exempel, have also a really Flat Sound, and they are great. Flat in trems of a really Basic uncompressed Sound whit no Extra Bass or Fancy EQ. Nice Video :3

[@skyfire3498]

It is insane That uad alone costs more than 1000 dollars Also that I mac and those genelec speakers

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Tell them!!!!

[@adrianconsta1139]

Hey, mate, I'm not sure what's so "insane" about his studio setup. One who sees that title may believe that he or she will find a ton of gear to please their eyes with this video. But surprise: it's a basic studio set-up. But hey, you got us to click on it. Sorry, mate, you have a dislike from me for the clickbait title.

[@mauromorabello6333]

which desk is?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Here is a similar one - bit.ly/31DRnBm

[@miguelpessanha]

Those are HS8s not HS5s. 6:18 And has you can see he's also using the UAD Apollo 8, not the m audio fast track

[@CloudMindChannel]

Its actually HS7s! And he’s using a "Big Knob"... not Apollo 8🤷🏼‍♂️

Not Hs8 haha

[@manpaulsa9066]

Kindly donate some home studio equipment for me💔😭

[@jairedrob]

I'm building my own home studio. And I'm trying to figure out how I should set it up. I see other KZbin videos saying how it's very important for everything to be placed perfectly, and be treated. Then I see rooms like this with 2 windows on the right. Does that not throw everything out of balance? Just asking how important it is to have a room that won't affect the sound negatively

[@jamesreynold6711]

It’s very important to do the best you can in the room you have. However if your space is limited or you can’t fully treat a room due to windows etc then get creative. At the end of the day you gotta roll with what you have - plenty of people make it work with windows. It is possible

[@jairedrob]

James Reynold Thank you, this is very helpful.

[@invertedbeing7998]

Honestly a lot of the videos that you will find will tell you all these things often with a commercial agenda behind it, making you believe it is crucial to buy this and this and that. The truth is, you can’t always have all you need for the “perfect” studio. I don’t know your level at music production, but I’d say unless you have been producing albums for Madonna or I don’t know who, don’t worry too much about how things “should be”. I believe that as long as you have well functioning ears, you will manage it and learn by doing. And if you are a brand new at music making, I would suggest you to not get too focused on how to make perfect mixes honestly... I constantly hear people only talking about mastering etc etc and completely leave behind the musical aspects, from my point of view, I rather hear a nice song with nice melodies but maybe not perfectly mastered, than a shitty boring music perfectly mastered. I know it’s been 2 months since you posted that, so I guess since then you are now set up (I hope for you), but I felt like writing this long monologue because when I started, no one told me this and I seriously wasted some time. Conclusion is: don’t get to heady about the technical aspect, you have ears? A keyboard? You can potentially make great music no matter your room! ;)
