So true. I hainbached a tune yesterday

it's not only about the gear, 14:45 demonstrates it. you're an incredible artist hainbach

My first foray into lofi recording was in 1983 when my brother and I recorded, with a portable cassette player, the sound of water dripping and running on the lid of a styrofoam cooler in the bathtub....then bacon frying in a pan....it was 4 o'clock in the morning....my wife woke up and smelled bacon....saw what we were doing and thought we had lost our minds. I never pursued that much further until recently. I enjoy your channel immensly...thank you.

3:23 my entire nervous system when I hit my elbow on a ledge

It’s hard for me to get through an entire video of yours, because I get inspired and have to get up and try and make some music half way through!! thank you!!

Hainbach - The Industry Standard of Lofi. Love the introduction, and your healthy perspective on getting that one model of lofi machine. It’s about using whatever you have access to, and making it work :)

Fantastic, as always. Even speaking as somebody who is into their third decade of making electronic music, I always finish watching your videos with a great sense of inspiration.

“Very robust when it works” that’s my whole life mantra!

I just discovered your channel today on my way to a trip to record music for a theatrical play. In the intro of the video, you basically gave me all I needed to stop considering giving up on my project since I am myself mostly scoring for theatre and media, documentaries etc. When I heard you saying that Heinbach was more about yourself and that you don't agree with the commercial standards of the music industry, you also described how I perceive my personal project that I was close to giving up but seeing you saying all these things and having such a beautiful impact on this community really gave me power and will. Thank you for everything.

you look really happy :-) glad to see how much your channel has grown over the years. you have a lot of heart, which is something a lot of 'audio youtubers' lack.

One of the first things I did with audio in the early 80's was make cassette recordings of my Roland Juno 6 into a Watkins copicat then fed into my mum & dad's Hitachi record player for amplification & recording & I've never been able to replicate quite that sound since!

Field Kit Tascam MF-P01 Volca Modular Laptop + Audacity AKG microphone Sorted :-)

Thank you for this amazing video. I think being limited is always better than being overloaded by gear. Limitations breed creativity as they say

that sound starting at around 14:30 is so magical. love it

Love this video😀. The part at 13:30 has some real magic✨. (would swap in the NTS-1 for the Monotron Delay these days; contributes a ton to this sort of setup).

I feel happy. Thank you for ideas and amazingly beautiful music. Your Lo-Fi is cheap in terms of hardware, but very rich in terms of sound textures, overtones, knowledge and imagination.

Glad you brought up Volca FM. People underestimate it as a compact DX7, but it’d be the most flexible synth with the motion sequence that has the endless acoustic possibilities.

Really helpful! I'm basically a guitarist with a lot of pedals and synths and started to go live with my Ambient/Drone/Noise endeavors. First plan is to get a mixer of some sorts.

Hainbach, I may be coming to the realization that my ultimate synth doesn't exist....I will probably have to design and build it. Love this channel, you are sending me down the rabbit hole.

Something I HIGHLY recommend is a multi-effect guitar pedal. I got a Boss ME33 for $15, it does delay, reverb, echo, distortion, phasing, almost an endless variety of sound effects. This will also get you oriented with what effects you may want to purchase as separate units later on. For example, I didn't know if I wanted a vibe pedal or not, and spending a couple hundred to try something out is not really in by budget. I tried it out on the Boss and ended up liking it enough I bought 2 different ones 😁 Another suggestion- get a spare smart phone (or hold on to an old one) and get an outboard microphone that hooks to it. Then it can be your field recorder as well as a DAW. There are several good apps for phones available for any operating system.

You can see that he is trying to contain his happiness in this video, he is so cute

Y'know, this makes me want to revisit my on-the-go setup myself. Lots of inspiration here, excellent video as always!

I just love the look on your face at 03:40 when you listen, sbsorb and study a particularly brutal piece of random noise generated by a cigarette lighter ! 😆

-iconic video right there, started doing music like this because of this video

It’s my favorite video you’ve done, so far. Really fun! Thank you!!

Mr Hainbach. You are the most cool and creative audio nerd i have seen in decades. Your Channel is so inspiring. I resonate a lot with your musical approach and experimentation. Best wishes from Denmark

love the Field Kit and (imho) feel that actually purchasing the DIY version makes the kit even better for beginning adventures in sound art :)

As an alternative to all this if you already have an iPad I would suggest Samplr extremely mobile built in mic battery lasts forever I’ve played whole gigs with just this and the simplicity means I can make music wherever and whenever the inspiration strikes it’s always with me

Love this one! your concept of your own channel is wonderful, and I really enjoy watching it. I have a thorough but relatively basic understanding of computers, but the gap in learning curves between operating the programs I used as a child (homeschooling stuff) and DAWs is cumbersome due to still prioritizing practicing the guitar above other things. I have soooooo much to learn being 22, and having a channel like yours is immensely useful! So thank you.

Fantastic video, my rigs tend to be large and more complicated than it needs to be, so this was a nice reminder to simplify things. I didn't know about the Koma Elektronik Field Kit, gonna have to save and play around with that as it seems perfect

"Industry standard, which I hate from the bottom of my heart" Du sagst es!

I literally just came across your channel... and can I just say that you are now my favorite person to listen to!!! You seem like a pretty amazing guy, keep yup the awesome work!! :)

Yay! My youtube feed has absolutely forgotten about you, and I really missed seeing you, because of your cheerful attitude and nice demeanor.

I'm listening to this while test driving some new heaphones and for the first time heard the beautiful ambient background music. I have a completely new and emotional appreciation for your work

Hey, vielen dank für deine wiederkehrenden Theaterbezüge und deren Bildbegleitung. Das macht mir Mut und Lust.

I have to say that your brutal time warning was appropriately timed. I quickly realized I needed to pause the video to adjust the volume before my girlfriend hates me. In a panic, I accidentally hit the sleep timer, panicked some more and I was able to pause the video with about 2 seconds to spare. Much appreciated!!!

The field kit was exactly what i was looking for, an all in one mixer thing

Fantastic Vid ! I was one of the original crowd funders for the field kit and I have the expansion pack also its a dream come true !! So much can be done with it and your imagination ! I also have that digitech delay pedal its a beauty I love it on Radio and I have a few collected,they are my homage to Holgar Czukay !! Hears to forward motion of the sonics in the ether ! Thank you Hainbach !

seeing you say "a concept that i hate from the bottom of my heart" with a smile is something i didn't know i needed. oh and you're very inspiring and motivational, thanks a lot for that!

Thank you for making this video, you've been a huge inspiration to me and my music, and this gives me lots of new ideas. I use the H1 as a field recorder and I can second your recommendation: it's a great piece of equipment for a nice low price. I also have the Volca FM - another great thing.

Holy cow this is awesome! You are my hero, Hainbach!

Excellent video as per usual! I’ve already mentioned it here several months ago, but on one rainy Sunday morning, your episode on tape destruction loops inspired me to get back into all this wonderfulness 110%! Since then, I have “Hainbached” (lol!) very well imo, and have no regrets! You’re one of my favorite KZread artists, and a very good teacher on a subject matter that is not easy to convey to others. Thank you very much, and keep on keeping on! 8^)

What a great video, glad I found it. Thank you very much. Love what you can do with tape heads. Made an instrument once using pre-recorded cassette strip's stuck to a piece of wood, and added tape heads to rings on my fingers, so easy and fun sliding up and down the strips. When I was a kid, I figured out how to multitack using a single stereo which had twin cassettes; recorded onto 1, put tape into second slot, played the first recording; new tape in first, and just swapped backwards and forwards.I could get about 5 or 6 tracks before degredation. Hope you are well. Sub. Brilliant. 8)

A really inspirational music, I've thought to get something like this for a while now so I could make electronic music on the go

Great video. Nice one, H. Fantastic advice, recommendations and no shying away from the importance and convenience of a computer for recording and editing one's output. Sound creation, improvising and performance are, for me, the most fun part of music But I've found that a fair bit of my raw output can be quite shit😂 So the ability to cut, splice, mix and edit the amazing sounds we find around us is pretty handy! Really enjoy your work

@Hainbach, you’re lovely! Thank you for (alsways) sharing your knowledge 💫

Great video. Thank you for sharing your insights. Incredible inventiveness with these devices. Very inspiring. Love the 🔥 sounds 😲😄

Morning, Hainbach! Nicely done...this hits home with me, because when I started back in the late 1970s, I and my collaborators were using whatever we could get on garage-band budgets. I recall jury-rigging a cheap Lloyds turntable with a rheostat stolen from a electric racecar set, for example. Who woulda known where that would end up! Anyway, one thing you didn't mention, and which fits into this budget window, is the deluge of cheap pedals coming out of China. Being able to pick up a perfectly-serviceable delay for $30 is pretty neat, and the list goes on and on and ON. Also...yep, even MODULAR got cheap, thanks to Tangible Waves; formerly, something like the AE System Starter2 would've run a couple thousand...but that system actually comes in at EUR 435. Yeah, kind of above the "budget" line, but not that far above it! A damn interesting time to be creating music, to be sure!

Thanks again. I love the inspiring video and at the same time you try to make electronic music making very accessable to anyone actually. Just use your creativity and imagination and a couple of bucks. That's all. Beautiful music too, at the end of this one. Thumbs up!

Hainbach, you are the best. All the love 💚

It's my favorite Hainbach! I don't know of any other Hainbachs, but even if I did, you'd still be my favorite! 😉 I feel inspired to find the old handheld microcassette recorder that my grandmother gave me almost 30 years ago. I believe that the brand was Realistic or something... i had so much fun with that as a kid! I would record a ton of songs at slow speed, so i could fit more on there, but when it played back, it was sped up and sounded like chipmunks singing. My dad got irritated pretty quickly on a road trip (thus, headphones 😆). I bought my daughter that same Korg Monotron Delay when she was maybe 6! Of course I probably used it more... and had to hide it from her cousins (they destroy everything). I need a new computer to get back into audio and video recording and editing, I got a laptop, but had to return it... it was as slow as the 7 year old PC I'm trying to replace! 🤣

Who is this quiet man beaming subtle yet powerful positivity? Why is he so happy and content? No idea what’s going on here but man this thing he made sounded REALLY cool. I have to subscribe and find out more..

yeah my dude, picked up a volca FM and NTS-1, along with some pocket operators as my first bits of hardware, just starting out. I'm having a blast playing around with this. It was important for me to keep it as portable as possible, as I work on the road.

Wonderful video and very inspirational. Keep up the great work. Regards from the uk.

I'm currently trying tape experimentation since few days and honestly, i've just started to buy walkmans and a small screwdriver. I can adjust walkman speed with it to something like 0.50(not sure of it) and this does the job pretty well. No one should spend 2000€ on a tape recorder made in the 70's or 80's ...

14:15 Holy crap how did you do that with the tape loop?! It sounds so alien and fantastic!

"this ribbon controller...has no chill" hahahahha @ 7:15 could not stop laughing

Hainbach should do audiotapes with therapy, that voice in the beginning so so soothing and smooth xD

Wonderful Video again, thank you Hainbach!! :)

Hainbach is telling us something inside this video, which is so true, even on the first view, most don't understand - this is the noisy sound. The noise in the background and also in the foreground is an very important weapon. in my teenage time, I don't like the noise of tapedecks and other stuff, but later, I found that the noise is an essential sound for the ears and music. One very nice example is an old digital synthesizer, which I like very much. On the first view, it sounds not very good, because many sounds are noisy in the background, but later I found out, that exactly this noise give the digital synth a warmth inside the sound - this is the Roland D-50 /D-550. Most of my synthesizers are analogue and old, but some are special with harmonic noise and sound. Another example, I have a Rhodes Chroma, which is normally limited with only one kind of noise, but my one has two different noise, which makes the sounds richer. Also I have a lot of examples... for example in film music, where the noisy sound is totally responsible for the atmoshere of the scene...

The Field Kit has to be my next audio tool purchase. So much packed into that little box for a such a fair price.

WAIT!! Is Hainbach not a WHO, but a WHAT?! Would make me feel less upset at my lack of achievements if it were so. Big pluses on ALL of your recommendations. Transformers, modular sorts of chunks of circuitry from maybe old telephones, dictaphones, modems, and sound electronics. Inverted headset equals stereo microphone. IM SO SO PROUD OF HAINBACH. A MIRACLE AND A FACTORY OF STILL EVER MORE MIRACLES.

Very interesting and informative view of your creative process!

Ooh! I utilize a Korg Monotron-Delay in my (mostly) guitar-based space rock. The Korg Kaoss Pad is neat too. I have the first, red-plastic one.

Excellent video, like the idea of tape something I gave up on a long time ago but I may have to have a rethink

Very cool video as always!

Da gab's halt viel mehr zum Anfassen schrauben und interagieren. Habe die letzten Wochen so oft gesagt, dass ich irgendwie wieder so einen Zugang brauche, trotz DAW möchte ich mehr Analog. Werde direkt eine Spardose anlegen und mich weiter durch deine Videos arbeiten! P.S. ich wäre liebend gerne Patreon Mitglied, doch der schnöde Mammon ...

such an enlightening video!

Remember Heinbach was not a commercial project LOL you know what they say about how to make a million bucks in music. I really, really appreciate your take on this stuff. I could probably write a book on my feelings on this, for brevity I'll just say I really dig what you're saying and doing. I did not expect you to promote this Koma field kit but I've been looking at those, that and a few piezos would be awesome for all kinds of stuff. My mind goes straight to steel bowls full of water.

Oh man. I have a Marantz PMD 430 in the closet. I don't even know why I didn't think of it, maybe because it was tied to corporate recordings for work. Still, I think I can start playing with tape.

My ideal noise/ambient setup is a Polyend Tracker, a 30,000mah power-bank to run it on, and whatever cheap microphone I can find to record out on the go. I can record samples right onto the tracker and there's a nice stereo delay built into it, along with wave table and granular synthesis.
