Studio Rundown // A Space for Creativity and Improvisation

[@squoblat]

separating the creative and mixing sessions was a lesson it took me far too long to learn. Great advice.

[@carterronan9830]

Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!

@Carter Ronan instablaster =)

[@carterronan9830]

@Chris Jaiden thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@carterronan9830]

@Chris Jaiden it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

@Carter Ronan Happy to help :)

Always enlightening to see how talented musicians/producers do their thing!

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks Blake

[@montenote]

you are an amazing person. I'm glad you had enough resources to put together this entire studio. thanks for showing this process. it is inspiring.

[@OoraMusic]

thanks for your kind words

[@matthewb8s]

Your videos are so refreshing to watch, sick of seeing faux advertising click-bate gear videos! Any chance you can do a video covering the OTO Boum?

[@patrizio7]

I second this.

[@Fjordjumper]

Third this

[@csdave89]

Fourth!

I love studio tours! Always interesting to see what other musicians have and why, and what they use them for. Love your space - very inspiring

Thanks so much!

thanks Abel

Not only is this video inspirational, it demonstrates how a humble approach, filled with gratitude, can assist creativity....As someone of a "certain age", brought up on Neve and SSL consoles etc, this video and approach, amply demonstrates that knowledge of one's gear, and comprehension of the craft, is what we all must strive for....Really enjoy your work, and attitude :-)

[@OoraMusic]

Let me thank you for your kindness. Its reading comments like yours that I feel compelled to create more content. Thanks and all the best!

[@tx3851]

@@OoraMusic My pleasure....My Son is doing a degree in DJ/Music Production, and I'm trying to talk to him with regards your Patreon, and which of the higher levels, would be best for him....I know he has Tutor support, but I feel someone like yourself would be a good resource/feedback loop for him....

[@k-hunka]

This inspired me to rethink my whole studio setup!! Mind is flowing. Thank you!@!

[@OoraMusic]

Wonderful!

[@sergiosensation6]

I like your meditation idea, very inspiring. I used to think my creative time had to sound musical all the time but it should be time for experimentation and not over think.

[@eyesintheskies]

Nice tidy setup, mines complete chaos!!! Not sure I’d recommend keeping usb sticks and sd cards on a wireless charger but maybe I’m just paranoid about losing my work.

Really nice space. Thanks for sharing.

[@jerryrush892]

You and I are on the same page with improvisation. I’m a huge “jamband” fan, when I got into modular a few years ago I wanted to take that same approach with what I was going to do musically. Glad I came across your channel! Best to you man! Cheers!

[@OoraMusic]

Rock on!

[@SURCOlive]

Love the video. Thank you for sharing the process. It is inspiring to those of us going through it too.

Just found your channel from the Perfect Circuit clip. Love your studio space. Light and airy and nice art. Very chill vibes 👍

Nice video Federico! I agree with the separate “modes” of creation. Hello from a fellow musician / photographer.

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks for watching

[@lordgeronimo72]

Great video. Great curation of your gear selection as well. Kudos!

[@nicolascarta2626]

I have to admit that you created a really great atmosphere to work in ! I wish i had more space to do so.. Also I'm already waiting to see you working on the drum machine !! I think it's a beautiful and interesting piece of gear.. Anyway thanks for sharing 👍🏻🎥

Thank you for your workspace tour, very interessting. Keep on doing your great work 🔥❤

[@OoraMusic]

Thank you! Will do!

[@lashtal]

I like the experimental section idea. Props to you for using the External In on the TR8, I've done it with an analog synth and it was pretty cool. You mention that you can get a bit intense with mastering, and this is something I'd like to get better at myself, would you find it of interest to share how you edit your music in Ableton? I think a lot of people would always find that process interesting.

[@ciavattas]

Spettacolo Fede! Spazio bellissimo e molto simile a quello che mi piacerebbe creare anche da me, cello incluso! Keep it coming

Such a beautiful set up and way to utelise creativity. I would love to know more details about the connectivity with your machine drum channels, and the vermona, and octotrack. which channels are doing what...the inputs and outputs...if its too long to explain maybe in the next video :) Love your music Oora ! ( btw i have the UW+ since 10 year ) I need to utelise its amazing power much more . Thanks again !

Fantastic studio space. Nord 2 is something of a cult classic. Looking forward to hearing some more tunes.

An inspiring setup there.

Thanks Federico! That was inspiring and entertaining. Of all the gear you have there the one I desire most is the Model 1. The thing I'm surprised I don't see there is the Pulsar-23

[@OoraMusic]

I had it for a brief time and didn't click with it, but getting another in the future.

amazing space. but acoustic treatment really isn't expensive and it will be the best money you ever spend

[@AvilesRcc]

What about the cassette deck under the revox tape machine?. Beatufil space!!!

[@OoraMusic]

that one is broken sadly :(

[@benkreukniet491]

Great setup and thanks for the walkthrough! I also find it important to have parallel setups for different frames of mind / stages of the process. As long as each one isn't too complicated it really works. On a much more boring note I'm curious if you use your LCDs straight off the UAD headphone amp or use an external?

[@OoraMusic]

True!I use them straight out the UAD for now!

[@408DJLEX]

nice studio bro!

[@OoraMusic]

thanks!

[@goodnoyz]

You have designed a wonderful space for you creativity. Very informative. Can I ask which channel on your Model1 the Perfourmer is coming out of? What exactly shares channels 1, 2 and 3 please? Peace

[@OoraMusic]

Hi, i have the perfourmer into the octatrack. Octatrack is on channel 1 and sometimes 2. 3 usiually is my nord drum 2

[@user-th6rh8zp3t]

if you do decide to indulge in plugins, softube and goodhertz are great

Yes, soon

Great video and a beautiful studio set up. Is the Subharmonicon packed away or has it been moved on? I really enjoyed the EP you made with it. I very recently got a Peak secondhand but haven’t really dived into it. How are you finding it?

[@OoraMusic]

I let the sub go, I did with it what i wanted :) i love peak!

[@Rustik1722]

Insane great video! Where you located bro?

[@kevinsturges6957]

I recently found your channel. All your videos are so fascinating. May I ask - do you do this for a living?

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks Kevin. Since may i am doing this for a living. Still growing but im doing music and content full time!

[@AVCOME]

First thank you for this video, find it late but is never to late. Question; i’d like for my new retirement to make music ( for my personal pleasure only ) here is my gear. Ableton live 11 suite, V9 collection, Polybrute, keylab mk2, Tr-8S, push2, piano, bass, 8 electric guitar ( that’s to much ) lots of pedal. I’d like to sell couple of my guitar to buy other machine. I’m louking for a machine that’s is music creative. What do you suggest ( Dfam-mother32-subharmonican, one of the Elektron …. Anything from your suggestion…. ) if i had 2 or 3 maximum other to buy ? Thank you very much

[@Amatteus]

Thank you. FEDERICO... AMAZING SPACE... Very interesting.. inspiring. Could you please tell me which patching gear is that one..?-- underneath the interface...This is a converter AD//DA right?. .With preamps?. I need more ins and outs to my RME fireface 801..and I have the Behringuer ultragain ADA 8200 in mind.. but looking to other options Thanks.

[@OoraMusic]

Hi! under tha apolo i have a simple patchbay, is a samson S-patch. used to have focusrite 8pre for more input and was geat!

[@Amatteus]

@@OoraMusic thanks.

[@CHONKERBOT]

Thank you for a great walkthrough, Federico. I have a question about your creative corner: Some of your instruments (probably most of them these times) have an option to save the current preset, and that's helpful to bring back your findings during the live sessions. But as you said, you are shuffling with your gear a lot - plugging and unplugging pedals, making the chains, and trying everything out. Do you have your own way to save your current state of the whole setup when you are happy with your outcome? Are you taking a picture and add some notes? Try to keep the presets for every setup element with the same name, to have something like the index to recall your previous state?

[@CHONKERBOT]

@@OoraMusic Thanks for a quick answer! Yes, I get it now, and it impresses me a lot. That's kinda wild, to pull every time your set from a very foundation, and I now I know what important for you is the phase of learning your synth, that the tweaking the sounds would be natural to you, like straight from your muscle memory.

[@tendingtropic7778]

cool, thank you, why have you chosen the TR8 over for example the analog RYTM?

[@OoraMusic]

I love the ease of use of the tr8 live, im more proficient with it.

[@tendingtropic7778]

@@OoraMusic thanks!

[@peladoclaus]

I dont know how you can afford all that .. but im completely jealous.. you have all the amazing stuff I want.. even those monitors you have are hella expensive.. you have inspired me ..... to find a sugar mama :D

[@OoraMusic]

ahha, well is a lifetime of collecting. Music is my priority and i saved in many ways ( no car, no kids ..). But also I worked hard to get all of that, anyone can do it! Sugar mama can be the fast route tho :)

[@stan5585]

Great space/gear. Do you have a preference for a brand of cables you use for synths, etc ?

[@OoraMusic]

Honestly with cable im going very cheap.. I know is not ideal, but will invest in that later on.

[@AndreasHimmes]

Nice, nice, Nice. Is it hard to keep the Vermona Perfourmer in Tune ? I think about to buy one. 🤔

[@OoraMusic]

no it stay in tune really well

[@paultyrrell8060]

Thankyou - how much are you enjoying your perfourmer ? I was thinking of this as my next investment as I think it will sit nicely in my existing setup - it would be fantastic you could do a tutorial on the vernona as there are not many out there. Thankyou so much for your insights.

[@OoraMusic]

Perfourmer is the best synth I have

[@flomoller6096]

I wish i had money to buy all this gear

[@OoraMusic]

Hey Flo, I hear you. Consider that I worked for 10 years as a photographer /retoucher and collected instruments little by little. One need only to start !

Beautiful setup! What are your cables of choice for synths/pedals?

[@OoraMusic]

really chap hosa for now :D

[@carlosserrano3985]

That's a nice setup but I will add a Moog Sub37 and Neumann TLM-103 If you want to record vocals, way better than the SM7b.

Maybe sooner or later!

Great stuff - but only one pair of speakers? Do you listen just through the Adam when you play live?

[@OoraMusic]

yes im used having them in the back. is a small studio :)

[@McEnroe911]

Is the mixer worth in the money? Would you buy another if yours was stolen? I loved your video on dub style mixing with it. I am very tempted to pick one up but it’s a decent amount of coin to drop. Always enjoy your videos a d looking forward to your review of the modular channel.

[@OoraMusic]

well, if you like the limitations , it sounds great and is a pleasure to work with. If stolen , I'd hope to get an used one :)

[@tkexit]

so all of your hardware just comes in as a single stereo track in ableton? if that's correct, can i ask why you didn't choose to split various instruments into their own separate stems for finer tuning later in the box?

[@OoraMusic]

You are right. I decided this way so I focus on performance and getting things right. Nothing against post processing, but in this way I do way more music.

[@russellillsley4345]

Hi there, you mention you havea delay return on the Model1 and that you explain it in another video.. what video us this? thanks in advance. Russell
