Tech Talk: Rødhåd talks us through his studio gear and processes (Electronic Beats TV)

[@marivsmvsic]

For those who wonder he used to work as an architect before becoming a full time musician. So no surprise that he was able to put that studio together. He’s definitely a smart guy and he’s pretty cool.

[@photicsonar]

Thank you! I was really wondering!

[@raven-jz6cv]

You dont build such studio from a morning job neither with his mediocre dj skills. He prolly was already coming from somewhere privilleged.But i have much respect for someone who can pull such a lifehack and live on it.

[@karlzimmer4860]

@@raven-jz6cv he was dirt poor growing up and earned all of his money from hard work.

[@raven-jz6cv]

@@karlzimmer4860 define dirt poor cause here we barely make 70 euros per play..we all work hard bro i barely sleep and i guess so as you.i have the same gear last 11 yrs... some get luckier thats all. Dont get me wrong i love the dude he made a cult of abstract techno followers, very few have achieved that. But still you dont build a studio like that with hard work neither with bank loans. And as much i love him for his spirit i find his dj skills average at best. And i repeat.i love the dude. So allow me to agree we disagree in few things.

[@eph_kni]

This bus style of production is amazing. Each “corner” has its own purpose: drum sampler direct to drum buss at the main desk, synths to their own respective channels with their own KRKs to help make the production exciting but keep harmonics tamed for the eventual mix down, all the effects collected for modular routing, and finally, different buss effects for group or master printing. I love this.

[@dankkarl1904]

[@station2station544]

Probably my favorite studio build in any of these - lovely. Matador was great too. But I like his comment that "everything is used - it's not a collection"

[@StudioMagnetique]

Why is it these days that if someone wins the lottery they are deemed a hero, yet if someone decides to spend every penny of their hard-earned cash on something they truly love, and does well for themselves they attract so much hate? It takes years of obsessive dedication to build such a studio, not just money. Like the man said “Reading manuals in bed” and obsessing over ergonomics, wiring and striving to find that perfect set up to create your own art... whatever you choose that to be. I say go for it mate... Killer studio and a unique sound. Beautifully done. (And thanks as always Telekom EB - LOVE Tech Talk).

[@urmumsbaps]

Who are these people you're describing? Do you live in a fantasy world? I've literally never heard anyone who won the lottery deemed as a hero nor have I ever heard of anyone being hated for buying things with money they earned.

[@NineHellHeaven]

Well said 👍

[@JoeySchmidt74]

Indeed, well said. Most likely extreme jealousy. I can and will admit that I am somewhat envious of almost every piece of hardware he owns, but two prominent bits of kit stand out for me. First, the TR-909, I love a good solid drum machine with a solid sequencer and second, that Juno 6 on the shelf there. I used to sit for ages at college farting around with the only decent piece of kit they had at the time to me and that was a Juno 6. I'd run it through a bass amp and play around with sound shaping, tweaking the filter and abusing the arpeggiator. I would love to play that old beast again and ideally would love one at home, but that is a pipe dream for now. I have only the fondest of memories for that old thing.

[@Max-yu7qi]

never understood if you have to turn all these machines on individually or if they're linked somehow? i've got a small studio and it's always a pain in the ass to turn everything off when leaving lol

[@urmumsbaps]

Just turn on what you need when you need it, why would you need to have everything on at the same time? You only have 2 hands :D

[@NineHellHeaven]

I turn them off from the switches at the sockets. They are all close to each other and I can cycle through them fairly quickly. I' could turn the whole room on with one click but I don't think asking for much current with one click would be wise.

[@rorykhanmohon]

A lot of studios keep all their gear on. Especially vintage synths.

[@StudioMagnetique]

@@rorykhanmohon There is no issue technically with having everything on one switch at the wall adjust hitting 'on' - providing as NineHellHeaven says you're not asking for too much current in one go. Most people would be amazed at how much you can hang off one socket, especially in Europe where our voyage its higher and so amps are lower. As for leaving it on... I own a lot of valve gear which is pretty sensitive... the guys who built that all kind of agree that if you are gonna use it tomorrow, your best off leaving it on overnight (for the health of the gear), if not, its probably better turning it off. Rory is right. The power on/off cycle is pretty stressful for gear and most of it uses such a tiny amount of power when its just sitting there that it makes no odds in just leaving it on.

damn, even this guy has a mastering engineer..

[@johannasbjoernson918]

of course. the only things that change with success are the growing budgets for your next production and the amount of work and requests that come in. (a) affords you a better sound engineer (or the fine one you got a properly equipped studio or more time there) - and (b) you get to work together all the time.. so the sound engineer ain't just a hired hand that works for you anymore. you work together.
