Tech Talk: Modular studio secrets from Guy Gerber (Electronic Beats TV)

[@metebirgoren5180]

Telekom team! You are the greatest! I found all the rare tips that i looking for in this channel!

[@eph_kni]

i love this. all the chaos yet all the evidence of freedom! he hits the mic with the shaker, the eventide isn't plugged in, everything is scattered around the room and yet this man seems completely smitten building cosmos within the chaos.

[@VisionaryApproach]

Yet another prove that there is not *teh right way* of doing things in music. The result is all that counts...

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Word!

[@MayenMusic]

haha, thats the only way I feel free. thats why I stopped using just a computer to make music.

[@Pierrelegere]

2:55 the eventide sounds even better when you put the the cables in!

I love Guy Gerber. He is awesome.

[@natura808]

Nice laptop stand... gotta get myself one of these. Update: It may sounds unbelievable and ironical but one day after initial post I've got myself same exact laptop stand - Eventide H3000B.

[@MuslimShortanov]

As always ! Thanks telecom team and to Guy Gerber - cool and very technically useful interview.

[@juno6]

A Juno-60 sounds great without any fancy pre amp. It sounds great in any situation.

[@holgerwick2245]

Not sure about it. My Juno 6 sounds good but not great without some additional work

[@NineHellHeaven]

Your user name suggests a possible bias. 😉

5:55 "any kind of sequencer I recommend to use when you wanna sequence things" - valuable advice, LOL

[@MayenMusic]

😂🤖

[@TTT-55555]

He's not english native, take it easy. You got the point, don't you?

[@exteriorsigns]

I'd recommend anything from Future Retro. Jared, the developer, has the best sequencer timing around. Rivals Roger Linn in my opinion. Social Entropy is another good sequencer. Love the timing on that too.

[@aritafaj2001]

the guy is phenomenal

[@Jean-Pierre.B]

Most speakers don't lie, specially these ones. Room (acoustics) lies! Not speakers. LOT of misconceptions on other subjects here.

[@Makebelieve123]

Great video. And honest. " most important is what people hear, not how you did it " Bravo !! ( pity the troll level goes up 10x every year )

[@lustigertyp4572]

confirmed. every track from him sounds good on headphones

[@LittleZdy]

i play them through horn speakers and they sound even better.

[@mikehawk9461]

Juno 60 doesn’t sound good without pre amp?

[@nizer7147]

One of my favorite artist interviews. Great work. Did he ever say what microphone he is using specifically? I’m on the hunt for one with the same qualities he described. He talks about it at 02:53 and if it’s the same one he’s talking about, it’s in the shot at 03:23.

[@NachoPiek]

The master himself! Very inspiring.

[@st33Npuist]

Headphones. Most important thing in the studio

[@arjanpetersen]

Good suggestion to work in audio ASAP. That is basically what every top producer says

wish my roommate knew about making music with headphones :p

[@dustinkirk4515]

What are those monitors he is using? Currently looking through as many 3-way designs that are on the market.. they look nice!

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

Interesting take on headphones. I’ve found the opposite to be true. Easy to get something to sound good in a pair of headphones (I have some pretty decent AKGs.. not the cheap ones).. and I can get a mixdown easily to sound fat and balanced but then fail the dreaded car test. My mackie hr824mkii monitors are a bit of a pain to get things to sound good on but they translate better than a mix done in my headphones. I hear Audeeze make some amazing headphones and have a dude that swears by the LCD-X.. that they always translate to any system

[@NineHellHeaven]

Great video. Thank you

[@cooltigermusic]

A lot of questionable pieces of advise, imo ;)

[@chasebliss5045]

"the focals sound good but they sound flat"... yes that's what u want from studio monitors

[@shrewdagency6588]

I enjoyed this one. Making your own creative rules instead of trying to establish correct 'facts' - and inspiring people to just dive into their own personal workflows. Cool.

[@Iredidv]

Agree with the headphones theory . i have a simple krk rp5 with the s10 sub for monitors, got the aiaiai studio preset headphones and was amazed that music i've been listening to for 20 years had stuff i *never* heard on any other system be it monitors or headphones ( and previous headphones were the sennheiser hd-25 wich are a bit of an industry standard, but no match for the aiaiai's. and when there's something broken, i can buy everything separately. there are up to 300 combinations) So yes check your stuff on both, and even more (tv, car radio, mono alarm clock, shitty laptop speakers etc...)

[@HOUSEWARMING]

Not really sure about the Ableton vs any other DAW better worse-debate (i.e. track summing) that has been going on for so long. Isn't it just placebo?

[@ericcookson168]

I prefer it personally. I've always thought it sounded better, even when I didn't use it properly. Would love to know a real answer...

[@HammyHavoc]

@@ericcookson168 The sum nulls against other DAWs. Maths is maths.

[@HammyHavoc]

The way the MPC X screen flaps around whilst you're using it really surprised me given the price point of the unit. That would really irritate me.

[@RTCLR123]

Nobody was complaining before i guess.. ill donate some CRT monitors for the plascics material so that it feel like old mpc's..

Anyone else feel the same about the master & dynamic mh40's?

Yup, love em! I need something with lots of detail but that also gives me a little bit of excitement when I’m working. Not too sterile. For that they’re amazing. Maybe a little heavy but amazing.

[@alexmakey8428]

The boss!

[@mikelo303]

So what headphones are they?

[@xtra8dj]

I think it is Master & Dynamic MH40. Personally I am much more interested in Beyerdynamic 1990 PRO which suits much more better for production.

[@abirdie8530]

Solution: Buy better speakers and headphones

[@urolderbrother]

Guy was asked by Telekom to do a video explaining his views and opinions. Y'all are in the comment section. Nobody has heard of you. And nobody ever even asked you for your opinions. #levestothisshit

Headphones? More depth?? Are you serious??? To each his own, just do't say that headphones is better than monitors or vice versa and you'll never sound like a fool.

[@PabloMessier]

That is a good example of who not to listen to, the worst adivice to give is to use Headphones, it seems to me my friend that you forgot what crossfeed is, and the negative artifacts that brings, in other words you should not use headphones while mixing or mastering, headphones are only and this includes all heaphones, they are only references guides, headphones wont let you identify a good image, you could make mistakes with relations and imaging, and no, you don't have to suare anything your ears are use to headphones and your brain is trick that what you listen to headphones is the same as speakers, if my mentors listen to you the hand you naked over the liberty statue,

[@arjanpetersen]

Pablo Messier nonsense. There are lots of engineers using headphones to mix and master sound.

[@leonardocaceres1071]

bro he has worked in the best studios and in hotel rooms i think you should take is opinion as a fair one even if you dont agree...wanna now if he is full of shit or not ? just listen to his tracks "if my mentors listen to you..." haha think for yourself a bit bro

[@ericpeters0n]

If you're in a crap room, headphones are a very useful option.

[@wav_909]

A DAW cant sound better than an other ... it is the exact same digital process to encode and decode sound from a digital file. FL studio does is as good as pro tools, that back and forth between ableton and pro tools for sound quality is a joke

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

But aren‘t there differences in the encode/decode process? MP3s sounds also different depending on the encoder you use.

[@wav_909]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV who works with mp3 anyway? Wav format is universal, you could try exporting the same file from pro tools and ableton, then flip the phase of one. You dont hear anything, cause there Will be total phase cancellation, therefore every daw sounds the same

[@hilldp44]

@@wav_909 Most people seem to see the real differences in summing algorithms - how each DAW simulates all of the signals combining and harmonics interacting. This is very different inside of an analog desk vs a DAW too. This is the entire reason that summing amplifiers exist. So each DAW does it a bit differently, though I'm sure nowadays the differences are really negligible.

[@happylittlesynth]

@@hilldp44 FL studio has a great article on DAW vs DAW ...Check it out....each daw is the same. As long as the file being encoded is untouched. There are many things in a DAW That can effect this process...however, they are all the same. Companies would love you to think that theirs is the best though...

[@bencodec]

MP3 encoders sound different because they are making different decisions about what part of the audio data to throw away while compressing the file size. PCM uncompressed audio data doesn't throw away any of the data to begin with, which is why there are not different WAV encoders. There could be differences in the quality of the hardware audio interface capturing the data, but there is no differences in encoding on a software level.

[@zbsfm]

yeesh, this guy drank the kool aid for sure

[@gnutscha]

sadly the success takes the initial spirit away, the artist started with (and then obviously became famous through) and transforms them into bitches of the hi-end gear industry, who listen to their gear, rather their music.
