Tech Talk: Stimming (Electronic Beats TV)

Watch as the technically astute and highly organised producer MARTIN STIMMING gives Electronic Beats TV a tour of his audio gear in this Slices Tech Talk. His set-up is based around Cubase and various analogue processors and synthesisers. Stimming’s textural and ardent productions and live shows have impressed audiences since he joined Solomun’s Diynamic family in 2007. In addition to his home label, he also found his way onto stalwart imprints like Pampa, Freerange, and Poker Flat, and has constructed remixes for the likes of Wankelmut, Ian Pooley, Deadmau5, and Claude VonStroke.

He's a real German's German. He's more German than currywurst mit pommes. His approach to engineering is more German than Audi. What a fantastic engineer and producer. As a sound engineer I really appreciate the way he works, and I love that even with all his technical knowledge and engineering pedigree, the thing that makes his electronic music stand out is how organic it is. In my mind he's one of the most underrated producers in the world.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

+TheDave000 sounds like a big compliment :-)

[@noismhairculture]

+TheDave000 hahaha

[@kobi-kobsen]

He is not underrated - everyone who knows him, has almost the same point of view on his skills. So - no - he is known as a big one.

[@OfoeNelson]

"Production is a fight I win". Awesome quote

[@hardtekk90]

This is why Stimming is a huge rolemodel to me. He appreciates real artistry and knows that a masterpiece can only be made thru the process of handcrafting it. He is also very open minded and likes to share his knowledge (especially in his Christmas Calendar) in a generous way. A great artist that puts a rare but worthwhile effort in his productions. Inspring as allways, thanks for the video Electronic Beats.

[@kaveersinanan3957]

+Philipp Wallat researching on production.....one comes to realize that simplicity accommodates creativity.....KiNK shared a similar view.....like having too much plugins ruin your output. Someone gave advice once - learn what you have; master it and you'd be surprised a the quality production that results. Stimming's very deep, intelligent and acoustic sound comes from this simplicity maybe.......but that's some really expensive equipment too :)

[@skyreadersociety6183]

I like this uncluttered, simplified workflow he uses. Also the fact that he is using realworld sounds, makes a lot of sense what he says.

[@komaton]

Ich habe gerade beschlossen Stimming zu mögen. Ein netter Mensch mit einer ausgeprägten Passion wie mir scheint. Find ich cool.

Very Insightful to learn about Stimming's production and techniques. Way2Go☆

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Many thanks!! We always appreciate the feedback. Keep watching :)

[@freebird9]

Production ist ein Kampf, den ich gewinne :D hahaha. Super Aussage!

[@okejminja]

One of my favourite producers. Keep it up Martin, we love you!

[@Ivander85]

I've been listening to Stimming for about 15 years now, and he's still one of my favourite artists of the genre. Had the luck to see one of his gigs in Brussels in like 2010...a tremendous set of what are now classics. I'm hoping to catch you again some time Mr Stimming!!

I love the way he's set this studio up. Very clean layout, everything in its place and connectable. Simplified but powerful (expensive too)

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

+colin lindo very true. especially the expensive part ;)

[@gertvanveen6439]

Stimming is fabulous! (and a really nice guy too)

[@Electromedusa]

... meiner Meinung nach der beste TechTalk, kein überladenes Studio ... simpel und effektiv :) Song for Isabell, für mich ein absoluter Klassiker von ihm.

[@stefanhansen5882]

This was absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Martin Stimming for this. I am getting back to music production after almost 15 years and this gave me some ideas for how to set up my new studio. Thanks! :)

[@gkeaoyrge]

[@rickf6375]

This guys music is beyond anything at times and I mean that in a positive and inspiring way! Makes you want to produce and compose music better yourself :)

[@attiliohollige]

[@superfabian143]

I met Stimming 2 years ago at fusion festival with his girlfriend at the pizza bar, was super chill talking to him

[@johnfkay8341]

Yeah he seems like a cool down to earth dude. A great artist who is humble. He really knows his shit when it comes to production. Would love to collaborate with him.

[@busywl69]

makes me want to boot up reason and get cracking again! it's been 2 days since I've made anything, which feels like 2 months. nice video. what a room.

[@mju135]

Wann kommt ein Update? :)

[@ndcortaz]

which producer table is he using?

[@charliebroadhead9851]

Anyone got any idea of the order in which the gear is all hooked up? Would he go comp --> midi interface >AD Converters > Mixer ?

[@joshkorody7376]

I can't say for sure and i've never owned the Xdesk though i've wanted one for awhile but i'm guessing pre amps first, those go into the xdesk, out to converters into computer and then back onto the xdesk for summing. And then you print you mix or stems back into the DAW. Though he might just have the pre amps going straight into the converter and then back onto the xdesk for further processing during the mix stage, depends if he wants to process his channels during the tracking stage. But again i've never owned one so take it as a guess

[@icejoo7241]

Stimming is steaming.

[@Jdinrbfidndifofkdndjoflfndjdk]

nice setup

[@leonard.c]

Hey Telekom, fragt doch Stimming mal ob er ein review vom Poly Evolver machen will? Davon gibts leider kaum Videoa im Netz, und das ist definitiv einer der Synths der 2000er!!

[@MadelnMachines]

What's he playing on the piano. Sounds beautiful

[@gylp2]

awesome

[@mazeo163]

Does anybody know the name of this amazing piano song at the end of the interview? I have heard the song some time befor.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

+Maze O Hmm we're not quite sure, perhaps it's one of the melodies from one of his tracks. Let the digging begin. Let us know if you find it out :)

[@JaFre1964]

[@nicolascouturier9273]

what are his monitors ? ATC something ?

[@joshkorody7376]

Came back to this video, yea those are ATC's. Not sure if he's still got them cause i believe he's in a home studio now but i just bought SCM25a's and my mixes have been translating really well, but the most expensive piece of gear i've ever bought but it is the most important thing, tho the model he has is like next level $$$

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

I think i gotta do some collab with you , Her Stimming.

[@Pazaluz]

The man at work, always interesting to hear him speak ! btw, is there any chance you could get in the studio with other members of dyinamic ? :) :)

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Rowbance Music Who would you most like to see?

[@Pazaluz]

I've always loved to see David August in his studio. There are some interviews with him, but i can't find a video of him in his studio talking trough his setup/workingmethod. Could be ofcourse he's not so open about it, which i fully understand. But yeah, if you could pull it off. That would be amazing and interesting. :D Greetings.

[@khashayar1367]

Electronic Beats Dixon please :D

[@ndcortaz]

is this a real piano peace at the end, or just his improvisation?

[@PeterRoos]

Totally cool. What tablet are you using?

[@RababaInc]

what kind of display is he using here and can anybody recommend a modern day equivalent?

[@effebidi9677]

He spoke of Cubase so I guess it is probably not a iPad, which might be also a good thing. I'm also checking for a tablet to make music... Samsun and Microsoft does great alternatives.

[@RababaInc]

@@effebidi9677 i did some more research and probably will get a samsung tab you can use the newer versions (starting with tab 7 i believe) as a second screen with a windows pc and thus have an external monitor with touch and multitouch (if i understood it correctly) i'll try running ableton over that

[@domenicocusumano]

its a genius idea in my opinion. Theres this weird disruption and disconnection when working with a mouse and keyboard that I feel it disturbs creativity. Im an analogue musician that went to electronic music and its the one thing I hate is that Im toying with a stupid machine
