Rival Consoles - In The Studio

[@crashcadet]

I love that he uses only one synth to get such creative results. So inspiring.

[@thijskoerselman]

It's really inspiring to see one of my favorite artists use such an incredibly humble studio setup. I'd like to see more videos like this to combat GAS.

[@skyreadersociety6183]

totally agree

[@olliewicks5317]

whats gAS/?

[@thijskoerselman]

@@olliewicks5317 Gear Acquisition Syndrome

[@kekoajk05]

Piano sounds amazing

[@nutritionontape]

I'm so pleased you shared this. Having one good synth and one good pedal chain is a very productive way to work. I reset my studio more in line with this principle and am having a great time with it

[@Echoes1967]

please more, this guy is a genius :)

[@ChuckWasHere]

No boundaries. That's what I love about what he's doing here.

[@GrantBrenner]

Nice to see someone else who appreciates the DD-3 as much as me.

[@lsamoa]

This was the best one in the "in the studio" series

[@ZeonGenesis]

He's sooo good at music, it's insane

[@daniel3819able]

Icant stop listening, in to the heart, great producer

[@mvricks90]

just discovered your music, and really happy to find this video seeing more of your process

[@closeyoureyesmusic]

Interesting studio setup, so minimalistic and powerful. And awesome music, no need to mention

[@shlamhabor]

what a great guy! inspiring

[@fredericvanwalleghem]

Inspiring Ryan, thanks a lot! Just got the Particle and love it!

[@EveRbLssD]

So simple but yet so effective. Chose your instrument and master it ie he has a moog and chooses not to use it...incredible.

[@YouzTube99]

@FACTmagazine, I like that you chose the adjective 'icy' to describe analog synths when pretty much everyone else goes on about how 'warm' they are.

[@michael_harren]

YES! Thank you for this!

[@drthorpe8602]

this is superb. great job rival consoles and fact!!

[@raytheonorion]

I learned so much from this guy's 2 FCTMG vidseos. More of this!

[@JonathanSummersMuir]

That Midi Murf and Red Panda Particle sound amazing together.. or at least I assume he was playing with them both on...

[@nobodyneverknows]

its just Prophet 8

[@WorksopGimp]

08

[@Natzure]

I already love him.

[@bhyllw]

Helios @0:41, such a wonderful track :)

[@Sirdoman]

Inspiring video, thanks for the tips and nice MI Quad VCA dawg.

[@zxx371]

this video is one of my biggest inspirations. I look up to rival consoles and hope to create sounds like him one day; he has such a distinct and unique voice and has an incredible palette of sounds.

[@zxx371]

I always revisit this video from time to time whenever I am lacking in creativity

[@leehodge7907]

love these videos! keep doing them please!

[@agamemnonc]

no acoustic treatment?! does mixing take place in this studio or elsewhere?

[@emotionwave]

My kinda approach this, I like how he's drawn a couple of presets on his delay pedal lol

[@martti7363]

rival consoles

[@christoroppolo8742]

Wonderful! Oh and amazing! Simplicity and intuitive design! Peace Christo 👽👽🕺🕺🎶🎶👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🛸🛸🙏🙏🐕🐕🔦

[@chchanyoung]

amazing

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

This is so fucking cool. Love it.

[@freddynetwerk]

Love it

[@virtueisdead]

I've always wished I could have a modular synth to make music like Rival Consoles. He's my idol, yo.

[@guillll]

You should try VCV Rack!

[@infinaneek]

Nice rig rundown and piano skills. x

[@infinaneek]

lovely bg music too. good verk

[@autecheee]

Why don’t we spotlight all the sift synths, DAWs and plugins used besides the hardware??

[@ryanwest9039]

because in this case 95% of the synth sounds in every song are the prophet 8. from Odyssey to now.

[@txemanovelo]

Genius!

[@sebastiane.91]

MASTER!!

[@jakobk5558]

A. M. A. Z. I. N. G.

[@Michael_Smith-Red_No.5]

IDM, please keep making it.

[@CrescimoneMatt]

Anybody know what song he was playing for a few seconds on the piano? It's killing me. I'm pretty sure it's a very famous piece, but I can't remember what it is. I might be completely wrong too lol. Edit: I think I remember it from a movie maybe. is it American Beauty?Or a tv show? Idk. But I love that chord progression

[@rivalconsoles_music]

i made it up, it was just a bunch of chords...

[@haydenmoonmusic]

It kinda sounds like modern soul by James blake

[@marlonjarek9071]

i might be wrong but think david august uses a similar chord progression quiet often. at least thats what it reminded me of.

[@martinwhile1607]

2:00 Sounds distinctly (albeit non-intentionally) like Gerry Rafferty's sax solo from Baker Street.

[@dimabiser]

love this guy)

[@Tom-kn3mg]

Great bloke

[@skywalkr90]

raw

[@simeonperlin8542]

How does he achieve that wavy piano rhythm right at beginning before he discusses pedals? Kind of stuttery triplet rhythm

[@darktrain85]

a genius.

[@MsLolapita]

🖤

[@balbo1168]

name of the last track? it starts 2:45min (beautiful), thanks for your music

[@amphitheatre]

where can i get one of those micro spring reverbs?

[@burmashavetom]

Also was going to ask this. Looks almost like a kit you can order and assemble yourself.

[@uzinakash]

Belton does these. You have to buy the tank separated from the springs. Go check their website

[@95t95t95t]

He uses the A-199 SpringReverb modular from Doepfer

[@amphitheatre]

Corentin Bossard seems belton only does them in bulk? the site ask you to inquire for a quote which usually means high $

[@amphitheatre]

i just emailed them hopefully no one calls my cell and starts speaking Hangul lol

[@JoshRichmanDesign]

Nice! What brand/model is that spring reverb?

[@florianjanyszek4719]

It's the Doepfer a-199

[@PauldeAragon]

Cool

[@timmbrockmann959]

2:35 like his label mate Nils ;)

[@OuroborosWorm]

What is the track at the start of the video? Is it Rival Consoles?

[@rivalconsoles_music]

yes, Johannesburg - from: Night Melody EP

[@liquidcast]

What microphone is he using?

[@alxdlg_1991]

Looks like a Rode nt2... Seems to be a wise choice if he uses the piano as a stetching tool

[@23bit76]

The electronic Lionel Messi

[@hallocine]

Shut up

[@djeanql]

Anyone know what the synth at 3:02 is called?

[@vortal4000]

Microkorg

[@willemojnr]

What's a spring reverb? XD

[@TheGreenwood03]

anyone know the track name at the end of the video ?

[@adamvolkinshtein1184]

Yes. Look into Rival Consoles' private Soundcloud. This should be one of the earlier sketches and tracks not published by Erased Tapes

[@rafalilnicki]

Monitors?

[@alxdlg_1991]

Mackie hr824

[@patriciorivas2536]

And the drums?????

[@Vladiiizz]

oh how much cost its (without piano)

[@adamvolkinshtein1184]

A good 5 to 10 grand or more

[@luke123halley]

TIL spring reverbs have actual springs in them 😛

[@TheGreenwood03]

not all of them, just a specific type:)

[@cobiwilliams]

TheGreenwood03 well, if a "spring reverb" doesn't have a spring in it, it's an emulation of a spring reverb, not actually a spring reverb. they do have the same kinda sound tho

[@johngorgis]

but u cant punch an emulation ang get that crash fx

[@FK-ve2cf]

No DD3 this is a DD7 ! :)

[@barskiniov2373]

no it is not a dd7

[@ambitsmusic]

You can never have enough reverb and delay

[@roblaw7537]

Don't put everything through a spring reverb kids!....

[@SoDrumatic]

too late. I'm on my way to E.R. right now

[@tcetvel8648]

his voice sounds like Damon Albarn

[@mvricks90]

or Eric Prydz, similar mannerisms
