Amazing studio and workflow. Setting this all up is like rocket science though.

Thanks Joris, happy to read that! Would be lovely to shoot something with you 😏🙌

This guy is so next level. Truly great to get an insight into how the stuff comes into the world.

I can’t tell why but thus studio layout is so “ ZEN MODE “ and inspiring to make music, the HUMAN INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY free from CLICHÉ (909,808, Jupiter, Minimoog etc etc)

Probably one of the best in the studio sessions yet, really gets into the workflow and patch work of the gear. Great video.

Glad you enjoyed it

Stefan seems to be a really nice down to earth guy and his studio is ace! Would love to own a Quantum/Iridium one day. Great video/studio tour, thanks!

Macro such a sick label. Stefan has been so consistent for such a long time. Big up for making this video!

This is great series! I’d say the best on KZread! thanks Thomann ❤

What a nice and enthusiastic guy! I'm jealous of his studio, knowledge and talent and also of his very good English!

Excellent episode! Thanks to Stefan and Thomann ❤

REALLY COOL vid. I like Stefan's flow

big up stefan goldmann 🙏 what a great vid, thanks for doing it 😎 that ghost is one of the best tunes ever 🔊🔊

Nice deep dive on the outboard gear - appreciate the detail

Didn’t know who he was, do now. He’s awesome

Love the modular stand solution!

Great studio tour. Looks like a great space.

Interesting take. It's not that he's got no quality sources, he has a few well chosen synth sources. But, what he's gone all in on is the outboard processing, and especially analogue processors for sculpting. Makes sense too, since he said his approach to synths is to treat that as tools to make sample material. I also find this approach productive: just playing for a long time while recording then selecting out parts from that reel. Can sometimes generate material for more than one track. And it's more playful.

Great! Never heard of him but now he is on the list!

great session!

damn studio goals

nice guy! cool sounds he makes. wonder how much his studio is worth...!

great video! what a track. was this ever released? also would love to know how the synth parts were made? fantastic energy.

This is going to be in an upcoming album on Macro Recordings - fall 2023. At one point there's also an excerpt from 'In Aggregate', which is already released.

@@Cybercowboy_69 The main patch is a wavetable / arp thing from the Quantum, using internal clock patterns and shuffle. The variation is mostly just scrolling through the wavetable and shifting envelopes around dynamically. A lot of the high frequency percussion just comes from spiky, transient things going into different distortion / delay paths.

@@lizzOtThank you for answering. I had a couple questions: 1. Is there a way to route ableton channels through an analog mixer? How does that work for you? 2. Do you program and sequence mostly in hardware and ableton acts as a multi track recorder or do you sequence and record on ableton simultaneously? 3. Are there ways one could learn more about breaking away from 4/4 rhythms in dance music and working with interesting time signatures?

@@Cybercowboy_69 1. Sure, if you have a multi-channel interface, you can assign any channel to any output. You can also form mix groups this way. If you intend to do mixdown in Ableton again, you can use Ableton's External Instrument plug in. 2. I do a lot of the sequencing with hardware sequencers or the internal arps of some synths. In this scenario, Ableton is just an arrangement tool, as some sort of huuuge sampler. I currently don't record audio with it at all. Back in the day I used Cubase for MIDI only and did everything else in realtime, mostly on an Akai S5000. Now I find editing and processing just gives me better results. 3. What's worked best for me is to look into traditional tried-and-tested stuff. You could take any traditional music that uses irregular time signatures and look into its patterns. Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish... you name it. The rest is trial and error :-) .

hit like before watching

One of the wildest things about the Waldorf Quantum is how you can do 90% of its functionality with a wavestate and yet…I still want it.

Really nice video and explanations! Is the arrhythmia your only sequencer for euro? And what are you you using to generate cv for melodies/tonal sequences?

@lizzOt

My main sequencer for modular (but also other patchy stuff such as the SEM & Micromac) is the MFB Urzwerg Pro. Its capabilities for polyrhythm & custom microtonal tuning are absolutely awesome. Very intuitive too with great visual feedback. The Arrhythmia works marvelously as a trigger sequencer for gating percussive stuff, or as a clock making other things wonky. Nothing else like it for designing custom shuffles and irregular grids on the fly. I've toyed around with a GRP R24, with its 3rd row modulating its own clock, but am not too convinced. Otherwise, for drum machines there's nothing like the Genoqs stuff (which is awfully cumbersome for melodies though) - I'll just mention: individual shuffle per row. For melodies it's just too cumbersome.

Music is too loud and voice is too quiet

Sorry, aber das was er da Mischpult gemacht hat, hörte sich nicht gut an. Auch die eingestellten Effekte sind fürchterlich. Wenn er das so abmischt sind Probleme in den Phasen und der Monokompatibilität vorprogrammiert.
