He made Blue Fear using only an Akai S-2800 sampler with delay as the only effect, no EQ or anything.

Just goes to show how much a good mixdown really matters

Armin's studio looks eerie, like it could be used in some Poltergeist movie scene. The clock, the loneliness, and just this weird atmosphere in the pic. I would never be able to make music in there. I wonder if that's why he called it 'blue fear'. perhaps he was afraid. lol i dunno, thats just how i look at it.

I'm kinda surprised at how many of those studios have modular synths, but I suppose if you've got the money to buy 'em, the extra space to keep them, and the time to program/patch them and write down all your settings and routings, it's probably worth it.

I work with a lot of people that have some extremely serious modular synths (some that take up entire dedicated rooms) and even though they do have assistants to re-patch them, they are basically only used for one sound or so per project. Often they are just to slow to work on but they get used for that one killer bit of sound design.

Also, a lot of time in studios, it's just for wank factor, a cool toy and frankly they can afford it.

Could we get some more close ups of luomo's studio, it looks like one of the coolest I've ever seen TBH.

Posted by Kismet7 on Jul-07-2009 06:49:

Now this my kinda Lab. Out of all them, i'd wanna work there and The Depeche Mode studio second and The Mews third. Not into the clinical setup of some of the others. They all would be great places to throw things down in.

My favorite is probably Michael Cretu's (Enigma):

Old studio:

New studio:

No visible cables, patch bays, computers in a separate room...
72 channels in the mixdown, 12 to 16 AUX ways, 48 Equalizer, 24 Dynamics, 160 inputs, 80 outputs, microphone-intensifiers "Rupert Neve RCMA" with remote controls, internal digital signal- routing matrix for inputs - and outputs, external routing matrixes for loudspeaker-switches, additional external sources e.g. ( stereo-machines ), special- software for the parallel application of two controlling PCs, particular in the meter screen to the aid all of the signals on a screen, auto talkback, remote-controllable screen- switch, computer-switch between AppleMac and PC on the keyboard.

Armin's:

There was a tour of his studio in his website with info about his gear and stuff, but it's not there anymore or I can't find it.
Anyway, this if from Armin Only DVD 2. A lot is seen of his productions. He's using Logic with mostly VSTs. A lot of stock Logic effects; reverb, distortion, comp, eq etc,... For 'Never say never' he used ES2 and MS20 for bass. There's also Athmosphere visible and a load of other stuff. Basically Imagine was all mixed in the box, with mostly VSTs. There are also some hardware synths visible behind him.

You can link here anyone who still insists you have to use hardware/analog to make great sounds. While I'm not a huge AvB fan, Imagine is for me (from an audio standpoint) probably the best produced album. Everything sounds so clear and well defined. And just think about it's mostly all stock Logic plugins.
Hats off to Benno de Goeij.

I'm sure I've seen another studio of Armin's since then...

One of the best things about that studio? IT'S IN IBIZA!!!!!

Never been such a fan of the aesthetics but apparently the vibe in Gunters Studio is simply incredible. Can't remember who said it (someone like mark spoon or cassius etc.) but they said doing a session there and working with Gunter was a truly life changing experience.

Strange thing is, that is a fairly low channel count for a pro studio.

What's a modular synth

Modular synths have separate modules for each set of parameters (e.g., oscillators, LFOs, filters, mixer, etc.) that are connected together by patch cables. So, basically, you build a synth by buying individual components, rather than an all-in-one self-contained unit like most modern analog and virtual analog synths. They're very large, expensive, and cumbersome, but apparently (I've never owned or used one) sound incredible. Here are some examples:

http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/serge.php

http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/buchla100.php

http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/a100.php

There are a few virtual modular synths on the market (e.g., the Nord G-series modulars and Micro-Modular, NI Reaktor) that let you build synths by adding the modular components with your software.
