not many know this.. Aditya Modi acted as the child artist in Nayagan movie as Kamalhasan's grandson.. my dream of becoming a sound engineer just flew out of the window due to financial constraints because in Chennai there was only SAE institute back in 2001 which was charging Rs.1.5 lakhs for a sound engineering course.. I didnt want to burden my Dad, so I met the legendry Mr. H Sridhar in 2001 and unfortunately he said he doesnt have an open spot in his team.. so as an Indian middle class guy i had to bury my dreams and went on to complete MBA, work for different corporates and settled in the US. After family and kids i consoled myself that there is a reason for everything.. so i always envy these guys Adithya Modi, Suresh Permal and Karthik 🙂❤ cheers to you guys, you are at least doing what you love in life.. ARR Sir you are a great inspiration to all of us.. Especially i admire you so much for The Sunshine Orchestra.. ❤

[@nnTamilan]

Brother... may be you didn't succeed your dream... but you achieved something. having a better life and family. because still people out there lost their whole life chasing their dream. people can praise them because of their not give-up mentality. but end of the life what they had?. so don't worry. you are also a winner in your life... God bless you

[@LostStoriesMusic]

Big love to Aditya for showing us around Firdaus during the expo. What an amazing facility.

[@waggishboy21]

Hmm..!!! Bombay dreams ❤❤

[@svisves]

Finally we get to hear the audio engineer Rahman and he is suddenly so articulate and no more bashful!! Awesome studio!

[@SXNCHA]

I was authorized to handle Mr. Rahman at Sufi Routes, Delhi a few years back. From picking him up from the airport to his stay & travel, I spent a few hours of my life with him. The aura that the man has is infectious. Got to see him perform live from the stage itself. His musicians are also phenomenal.

[@rajeevp.j7311]

You do speak good English too...❤❤

[@Vijay.Jebastin]

Hey Legend, From an audiophile Thanks for the Studio and your service to Music. Let's bring the world together with Music. Love and Hugs Rahman😊❤

[@RhythmicDias]

I had a chance to visit Firdaus studio in December 23, very different feeling to be in AR Rahman's studios.

[@AtanuDey]

I always wondered how he was able to produce such world class sound sitting in india where his peers were clueless about most of the technical stuff! If you compare the songs produced by him during 90’s with western hits, he was at per or even better in cases! Such an advanced mind! Got to know a lot about the secrets! 😇

[@user-ee4oe2ue4w]

Absolutely!

[@debonitabhowmick9774]

One of the legends of world music.

[@gopinathbalakrishnan7390]

In 90s he was having only his homestudio built converting his carrage

[@choudrimasilamani6127]

Ar Rahman Sir is a genius and a great fighter. He is a self-made person. He reached this position by himself only. He is an inspiration for everybody. I am proud of him because he is from South India.

[@pmishraofficial]

A R Rahman has always embraced technology. Steps ahead in his vision of the possibilities. Audio tech industry can have so many new ideas come to life with the collaboration between artists, engineers and developers.

[@Dragonfruit233]

Ar Rahman songs literally teleports the listener to a new dimension.especially the songs frm Roja,Bombay, thiruda thiruda, rangeela, dilse nd lot more..he ruled the 90s music scenario nd reinvented indian music to a new era

[@noblemathewfrancis6853]

ARR -- the one man who radically changed how Indian music was produced and sounded with the album Roja... the effect of his works still echoes to this day, basically, everyone just followed him since then.

[@PrasadVidhyabaskaran]

Great to hear stories from the past. Amazing to think ARR sir had to manually enter all the CC parameters for every note. And the size of those equipments! Would have been so painstaking. Only when you hear these accounts , one can truly appreciate how far technology has come today :) would be a dream come true to visit this studio someday.

[@bobmarley-wo9dx]

Indan pride ARR ❤

[@Since-em2vy]

Not surprised but A R is a great a musician & great business man as well, understanding what's the requirement in UAE and all over the world by understanding small small problems in the studios faced by artists and solving them with high tech equipments and attracting the clients.

[@Astitha]

That's true. He is a musical and brand enterpreneur to put it blunty. In kamini matha's book, Subhash Ghai told even in late 90's AR was a good business men. We are very fortunate to have him

[@avinashoak752]

AR and Adi you are at the limit of technology and music creation!!!! Grand, gorgeous and greatly innovative. No words .... Stay blessed always.

[@stephenmorais7758]

Awestruck by our Chennai Mate #ARR ji, what he has done to this world and for it's reckoning soul in peace ✌️ (MUSIC) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.

[@Hassan_Omer]

Whenever we meet Mr. Shiraz Uppal, he speaks highly of Mr. AR Rahaman especially about how he helped him in his journey.

[@vikramtheone]

I loved what ARR said in one of the interviews, I'm paraphrasing here, that whatever he wants to do, he wants to do it the best. For example, he told Maniratnam that he wanted to work with best lyricists.

[@dvdzonenz2]

If he wants everything to be best then why did he sing his own songs?

[@sheikmohammedsameerkhan298]

​@@dvdzonenz2 Becoz he is the best. Who are you?

[@HarshKS2]

​@@dvdzonenz2bcoz he sings great, now whats ur point? Even Shankar Mahadevan approves, now?

[@gopinathbalakrishnan7390]

​@@dvdzonenz2hope you are ignorant of his singing in guru, dilse, swades and many more his tamil numbers

[@prabhuja7554]

Please use a Lav Mic for such interviews SOS...making a niche studio sound and you do sound with direct wireless Mic seems...low-fi not a pro level recording...actually Boom shud have been used or least Lav Mic plugged in... and the constant Shirt rub against the concealed ARR Sir's Mic is to be noted...too...I would not have minded all these if the name is not A R Rahman...huge love and respect for him❤

[@Alchemetica]

Wow, two very interesting people and the main desk and rooms at Firdaus are a sight to behold. I guess, where else would it be but Dubai. Great doco Sound On Sound.

[@srinivasaraomaney8972]

Alla Rakha Rehman Sir, I was literally in the heavens when I heard Roja songs. I am not qualified to comment about your Studio. However you are a true genius I want to meet you atleast once in my lifetime. I pray God for that day and occasion. Hat,'s off Sir for the giving the AMRIT of music 🎵🎵🎵 Jai Ho

[@arunarunarun51]

I loved Rahman songs when he composed with limited technology.

[@bossraaja1267]

Bit now with high technology --------???????????

[@bossraaja1267]

His all storage finished no new creation ???? Same same he will repeat his own creation????? Recording quality 200% good ok but------- creation????.?

[@gopinathbalakrishnan7390]

​@@bossraaja1267do you think millienels encourage creativity or shit called trend

[@DharmaNKarma]

Music is not something which you try to create, it comes natural for some for whom it doesn't stop till they exist.

[@pahji]

Good job Aditya. BTW AR, love the glasses and the green shirt. 😊 All the best 🙏🏼

[@Ganesh-op6wc]

So nice to hear studio history from legend himself

[@preetyvashishth5338]

Music precious...gift.. blessings for life..🎶🌿🎹

[@KoushikVaraghur]

Legendry. Composing by trial and error method along with generous collaboration. There are composers who write notes on paper and magic happens when musicians just play it. No trial. No error. Just pure magic.

[@NibirX]

Wow this place is a dream

[@daw6071]

7:53 - Golden info AR Rahman !!!

[@StratsRUs]

I still think Roja and Bombay are knockout.Play them all the time.

[@zerin.]

rahman anna is a scientist 1st & then a composer. thats why his music is immortal. another dimension off the matrix

Trade Mark icon ARR 💥🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰 past present future ARR ONLY

[@waziriguess]

So good.

[@sawaas2001]

Since he released many floo songs for the last ten years, I would recommend AR to bring back his old instruments and working style. Now, I can see the gaps in his recent compositions.

[@queentgrss]

Fabulous

[@sudhekarthi4581]

Wow Rahman sir .......❤

[@psysword]

He's so well spoken and well educated. I had a different impression about him.

[@amitanaudiophile]

Great work..also try to know what is true high fidelity sound recording and reproduction.... which is actually feels natural to human ears..if properly done with authentic vintage equipments. India is still need to develop toward this topic.... Controlling vision/video is might simpler but controling audio/sound is only possible throughout experience and true understanding....

[@nanographics21]

You must get Simon Shaheen and orhcestrate some of his pieces on/with firdaus and the orchestra, also guys like Dhaffer Youseff, Rabih Abou Khalil and even Kayhan Kalhor, these guys are a generation of original sound! - much love from madras, tamil nadu - sir john piraan

I think the edit on this could have been better. Imo there could have been more b roll while they were talking. They would be talking about something and I would expect to see more of the camera switch to what they were talking about but it felt static at times.
