The sounds BT can produce and make so clean, crisp, clear and impactful is beyond human. I have loved his style since a kid and im in my 30s now and still continues to impress me with what he releases. Really deserves to be recognized with the greats of han zimmerman, Ludwig Göransson etc.
For the BT fans, I did an interview with BT about his classic "Flaming June" and the story behind it. You can find it on my channel!
Summary: every instrument is his favorite 🤣
Prolly why he owns them, eh?
Especially the monosynths! All favourites 😁
But you can see why, I think I agree with him, everyone is my favourite too.
Actually, literally, all his favourites
Your forgot to include his most favorite qualifier: incredible.
I love Brian because hes not only a superb musician and the worlds most sought after producer but he absolutely loves everything about his craft. The gear all the nuts and bolts. His enthusiasm is infectious.
Ooob howvi wish the camera work was actually in sync with bt pointing at his gear.
Utterly outstanding gear collection. Also BT created flaming June, one of my favourite tunes of all time.
How does He clean and dust around all that? Took Me 40 minutes to clean one keyboard and could not get it 100% clean.
@@HOLLASOUNDS I would imagine that he has dust filters in his AC and a cleaner.
@@ruk2023-- Dust filter stops dust landing everywhere?
one of the greatest tracks ever
Top 10 for sure
Just listened to This Binary Universe. Some of the best electronic drum tracks i've heard. All the details of a real drummer with deliberate small glitches and pauses and fx used to make it sound better. Mixed perfectly. All sounds so clean
Wow look at those ATC's. Hands up who wants some of those?
The gear is great but the man behind them shines brighter!
THAT..... WAS........ UTTERLY........ ENTERTAINING for a synth addict like myself and BT student since 95
Love and peace to you guys from Prague (via UK 15 years ago)
Edit..... er cleaning, dusty pots??? I would imagine along with that amazing design it's probably dust proof in there too 😉
Whoa!!! You need to have a TON of content videos, showing us all of this amazing gear in more detail. Your studio is a crazy dream.
More, more, more!
I remember reading an article in the '90s where BT went totally into the box and was raving about it...at the end of the day, ITB always comes back to hardware.
PS, whoever was filming this...good lord.
His wife was filming - he mentioned it nearly at the end. And yes, I wish she would've been more focused towards the gear he was pointing to.
Incredible. Seems like a full-time job just to keep up with the maintenance and understanding of the setup. I don't know how i would function in a 'lab' like that. I kinda think that if i had the fundage for something like this, i wouldn't. I'd want maybe 5 synths, a simple single rack of effects, and that's about it. But, i'm too old to learn new stuff at this point! Can't deal with all the tech issues that i have even with my far simpler setups over the years.
Same. Tried switching daw but at this point I really don't see the need to learn a whole system from scratch once again. And even in the daw I limit the amount of plugins but rather learn the few that I use really well. But hey, just slap a preposterous amount of side chain on every channel and you're done. Apparently.
He most certainly has a fullt time tech to help keep everything running smoothly. That's just too much work for someone as busy as Brian.
I think what I need is a good midi compatible hardware synth, some african and middle eastern drums, an interface and a good semi-acoustic geetar
usualy in big studio, there is engeneer, Technician, a sound Designer, musician, its a team, i talk for big production of music over 1 millions budget
Yeah, I seriously doubt he really needs all of those synths. It's more of a collection, whether he'd admit that or not. He might fire up a vintage synth every so often for a type of sound that it's good at making, or just for the fun of it, but there is little that the vast majority of them could do that his modular synths couldn't (and then some), which is why he usually uses those.
That's still an awfully nice and LARGE collection to have, though--one of the largest private collections I have ever seen. Given that, I'm kind of surprised that there isn't an EMS Synthi in there somewhere. If the goal is to be able to produce just about any kind of sound, then you'll probably want one of those in your arsenal. There are some others I can think of, but they're even harder to find.
Super cool of you to share your pride and joy with the TH-cam World. Your knowledge on the subject in focus is incredible! I will listen to your music. Thanks again! So many incredible toys and layouts🎉
Such a well organized monster studio.
For me this guy has instant cred when he speaks highly of both the Chroma Polaris and the JX8P which many people dismiss. He knows.
my GOSH! what a Heavenly setup! suit's BT to the perfection!
Man I wish you did a masterclass on Classic Trance production 🙏
All amazing and great! The camera work though....
Damn... my hero... Gotta love the Voyetra SPG on the 4 Mhz IBM PC; this is Diehard from the forum, keep your music alive and keep writing in 2023, you are such and inspiration to so many :)
I love how passionate he is about his whole studio. Amazing inspiring functional museum! lol
7:12 Volca Keys and Volca FM actually getting used. The TR-707 gets the top drawer. The TR-909 gets the bottom drawer. Nice.
The camera person should look through the viewfinder.
BT on another planet. I worked for the label that did his first release. Met him once. Was always the standard for what I thought a producer should be. Hi bar baby ☝️
Yep, this is lifted and is hella old.
BT's studio has change a bit since this.
The camera work on this video is awful
Glad BT mentioned the importance of ‘playing’ with gear and letting it take the lead. I do this regularly with my small collection of outboard gear to keep it fresh.
yes, that would be nice, but some of us don't have the space or the money
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied 🤗
such a cool room the best gear best synths all in the same room
yea ever cool dream synth out there whats cool is you can play them alot of collectors cant
Very nice guy and unbelievably talented.
I would love to see a video that explains how he manages the wiring and connections (MIDI, Audio, Power.) For anyone with a large collection, this becomes a difficult problem to solve.
I have a large synth collection. Using 4x MOTU midi xpress XT units, 64 channels of audio io via 2x apogee symphony units, and APC power conditioners. Not a difficult problem to solve at all. Just a costly problem to solve.
Does your camera man not know how to pan down?!?! So frustrating!
It's odd these pro musicians always seem to have terrible recorded videos, not sure what that's about other then there not youtubers.
He did say first time 😂
What a collection, a lot of favorite synths right there! 🙌 Missed the classic Alpha Juno though #hoover #dominator
Movement In Still Life ( yellow cover) was my first intro to BT’s extraordinary production, songwriting, programming genius!!!
Its funny that Brian mentions Yamaha needing to rerelease the CS80 before Behringer does. Behringer just announced the "VS80". Amazing timing!
Pretty sure this is years old.
Very nice collection (however I haven't seen a K5 in this collection) . But we all would have liked to hear some bits of these cool things.
There is a K5000 though.
One word… WOW!
The sound of his voice in that studio is crazy, the diffusion panels are clearly doing something
The only person who doesn’t need to explain to his spouse any current or future gear purchases.
Legend
I got that JX 8P!!! Nice for TalkBox and bass. The pads are insane too!!!!!!
Looks like something from NASA lol super nerdy i love it Brian
Salivating
This is nuts!
I clicked on the vid because I saw a "Quasimidi Raven" in the thumbnail and "BT Studio Tour" in the title - Whaaaat!? Then he mentioned he used it on "Mercury & Solace" which is my alltime fave!
A+ comment on the Jupiter 8 remake. Beautiful studio. Enjoyed a giant chunk of your music going back to Voyage of Ima.
Awesome setup. It's like the Arturia V and FX collections IRL, lol.
Thank-you for sharing this! I love BT's selection and implementation. Having had two professional recording studios myself, I know how difficult it can be to get everything right. I would've like to see more of the console. Does he have a fader/DAW controller?
After seeing this, I'd like to meet BT!
If you ever meet him. Slap his hand hard and tell him to chill a bit with all the side chaining. It's so much overkill it's unbearable and doesn't pay tribute to all these beautiful synths, on the contrary. Let the synths do the talking don't you agree? Thanks in advance.
Synth museum, needs its own repair tech i belive.
Such I can see the DX7, Prophet 5, Prophet Pro-one, Jx8p, Jx10, D 50, E-Mu & Dx5 80s synths are amazing in this BT shop!!
Not one Moog in sight. I love it!
the model d is hidden in the shadows below the jupiter 8
You're right, there are not one but *two* Moogs: a vintage Midimini conversion in a rack at 9:34 and a new (reissued) Minimoog Model D at the bottom that isn't shown well but mentioned at 14:31.
INSANE! Absolutely gobsmacked..
If you didn't have G.A.S. before watching this you will after... impressive collection and explanations!
I sold him that Korg DS-8 back in 2014 or so. Good to see it's still there.
whats the one he mentions right after he says ds8? a 4 op fm korg with analog bbd? f8 or something?
@@christdolphin69 it sounds like he's saying "F4", but not sure why. He probably just stumbled speaking trying to get through all the synths in a hurry. I have a demo of the Korg DS-8 on my channel, but not that exact one that I sold to BT.
So basically, if you can't make the music you want with this equipment, it's not the equipment's fault
I am not listening to enough BT was my takeaway.
8:30 They used to say "All Roads Lead to Rome". But in this studio, Every thing terminates in Venice!! lol
That wall is his favourite wall…. 😀
this was awesome to watch good work:)
How does he even know how to use all this stuff?? The technical know how AND be a great artist making beautiful music, this guy is on another level!
6:04 Joy Division had this ARP Omni 2, but by the time New Order was rolling, the replaced their Omni with an ARP Quadra which has the same string section. New Order didn't use the OMNI.
Glad your doing well BT. CS-80!
I"m an in one of those Keyboard Issues somewhere. Also in Music Technology Mag
Thanks sharing! I've always wanted to see what you are using these days. No more Andromeda?
Tighten up camera man. Nice gear
didn't know BT (British Telephones) needed a music studio? thought they were more worried about internet these days?
Awesome. You must have worked real hard and long to get your studio together. Awesome is for once a valid word to use on something.
BT, I can sit in front of the sea with my guitar and sing to the breeze, I can sit on the top of a mountain watching the eagles go by, with my guitar and sing.There can be a power outage in town and I can still sing and compose with my guitar, you with all this you can't even carry it in front of the sea, you can't even play on a mountain top, let alone turn this on if you didn't have electricity, as John Denver once sang with his acoustic and six strings ..."Country roads, take me home...To the place I belong, West Virginia, mountain mama...Take me home, country roads..."
Wow, that’s my heaven!
He has a level of musical OCD never previously achieved!!!!!!!!!!! Absolute INSANITY
Dry you cry your eyes to sleep
Amazing!
holy moly we are not worthy .... unreal awesomeness...... how are you hanging the keyboards cabling and midi routing ??? all the best from BC
IMA 👌
I would love to pick YOURbrain..
DAMN!! KEEP AT IT...!
THANKS
It takes a wizard like BT to be able to navigate such a collection and still get great work done.
Obviously these are just show pieces. No ones patching synths on a step stool, breaking their neck and fatiguing their arms with old LCDs you can't see in the blue underglow of the rope lighting and no one is unplugging and dismounting these to do so. It's just a museum, built on nostalgia and powering a brand. Most his time now is spent as a salesman of software or hyping NFTs.
@@Winter-zv1dv you obviously haven't listened to the new records then
@@Winter-zv1dvNo one meaning you. Come on bro get out of your bubble. Just say he has opinions on NFT's you don't like. Lol
@@Winter-zv1dv I figure he does make use of his extensive synth collection on occasion, but like BT said himself, most of the work he does with synths is with his ARP 2600, Roland System 100M, Obeheim SEM, and Eurorack system, plus a few other synths he has near his mixing console, like the Midimini (rack-mounted vintage Minimoog Model D board retrofitted with MIDI) and Yamaha DX7. The rest are only powered on individually (actually by section) when he decides to use them. So yes, for the most part, this is a museum--a really cool environment with which to surround the working part of his studio.
BT
Great camera work… it’s nice to see third graders employed!
It was his wife filming. He said that at the end if the video
I would never want something like this, what's the point, such a mess? You can do pretty much everything within a computer, considering all sounds are compressed for streaming at the end of the process these days! Cleaning all that stuff must be a nightmare too.
I see this as a vanity project, but realistically, to use in actual music production, pointless when you can open a VST of pretty much any synth these days and get extremely accurate representation.
I totally agree, although i would keep space for maybe 2 or 3 physical synths to just play and jam with. Id only use the pc as a basic sequencer but im older so its a comfort zone for me.
WOW! What a collection!! Incredible...
But please: could you somehow get somebody for the video who matches your gear..?
Well, that's quite a lot of gear.
Brian is a master!!!!
He's looking good for 50.
No Rhodes, Wurly, Clav, Hammond? Impressive AF, of course, but … could never be my dream room without the essential electromechanical classics.
Uh, so much stuff. I think I saw Yamaha CS1X, you can replace that junk for Yamaha An1X; and I didn't see Roland Jupiter 8, but with all this synths you don't need it; you have Roland Juno 60 and the whole army of other synths. I would be lost with so many options, haha.
You have not talked about the OP-1 lying on your mixing rack. Is it part of your workflow in any way? I have never seen you using it before.
Please lock me up in there and throw away the key. Stunning gear.
What about Novation SuperNova 2 X-Pro LE Platinum, Axis Virus TI, Clavia Nord.. ?
Love his pure passion for his art, & I know it’s his wife behind the camera, but seriously Stevie Wonder could’ve done a better job 😎🎥👨🏾🦯➡️
Haha Klaus Schülze from Tangerine dream?? Maybe you meant Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream? You have a nice big music room with great gear! Have a nice Christmas! greetz
Klaus was in the early TD.
Anyone saying they would never want this much gear is missing an important point in why some of us buy and hold onto these vintage pieces. Their value appreciates! He could retire earlier or put his kids through college with this collection. When you do this for a living it’s also very much about what inspires you and sparks creativity, and for many, turning knobs cannot be substituted by working in the box.
Great tour, terrible camera work. It wasn't out of sync, it was just terrible. All I kept saying is, "Point at the damn thing he's talking about, you idiot!", but it was still very cool to see what he had, even if we didn't get to actually "see" it. CS-80 was a surprise, but his modular setup was great and very tidy, because I know he uses it. Cheers!
I would love to see an Andrew Masters Tour (Sponsored by Sweetwater) of BT's Studio.
This is a great example of gear acquisition syndrome, I am happy with my Arturia keylab 49 ,daw and slew of vsts. But seriously I hope paid the house off
Good point. All this gear is amazing and would be fun to play, but honestly. The right person could produce the same music with a daw, controller, arturia v collection and some other vst. This is impressive though if one has the money.
Yeah, I hope he didn't take out a home equity line of credit to buy all of this stuff! He's been collecting for many years, though, so he probably got most of this stuff while it was still relatively affordable, and it has only appreciated tremendously in value, so look at this as a smart financial investment rather than a frivolous (because who really *needs* all of these synths?) expenditure.
@@haro82 Like BT said himself, he mostly uses a handful of modular systems for his work. The vast majority of the synths in his studio aren't even powered on unless he decides he wants to use them, and in practical terms, there are few sounds they could make that his modulars couldn't. Now, his Eurorack system is quite impressive, but looking at the vintage modulars that he said he uses the most, there is only an ARP 2600 (legendary for good reasons, but still not the most powerful), a small Roland System 100M (just one case is pretty small for a 100M), and a small Oberheim SEM-based system (they can get a lot bigger than this!). These are great, but I'm just saying the main synths he uses, as a set, aren't exactly mind-blowing, especially given the sheer scale of his studio collection as a whole. Put it this way: I've seen significantly smaller professional home studios that pack more variety and raw synth power than this one.
One example is Vince Clarke's studio. As impressive as it is in terms of scale to people like us, it seems small and limited compared to BT's at first glance, but what matters, in practical terms, is precisely what he's got. In addition to the basics (e.g. 2xMinimoog Model D, Juno-60, Juno-106, Jupiter-8, Pro-One, Prophet-5, JP-8000, et al), Vince has 2xARP 2600, an ARP 2500 (more of a beast than its already large size would suggest due to its switch-matrix system), a large Roland System 100M in six cases, a towering Roland System 700 (sounds different and much "fatter" than the 100M), an EMS VCS 3 Synthi (bigger than it looks with its pin-matrix, and very unique sounding), a Serge Modular (another unique-sounding synth), an E-mu Modular (analog, not an Emulator sampler), a large SEM-based system, a PolyFusion Modular, a Korg PS-3300 (unique and very powerful semi-modular synth), a Synton Syrinx, an Oxford OSCar (yet *another* unique-sounding synth!), and an RSF Kobol (small keyboard synth with morphing waveforms for, you guessed it, a unique sound). He also has a small but useful Eurorack modular system (Doepfer A-100 series), just to provide even more variety. That's just off the top of my head. He has "only" like maybe 50 or so synths, total, it looks like, but his is an extremely eclectic collection that can be used to produce just about any sound imaginable.
Of course, what really matters is what one does with what they have, and the Arturia V collection for like $300 on sale should realistically be more than anyone really needs, in terms of synths. Both of these guys' synth collections are overkill, but they sure are neat to admire. My point is not to "measure dicks" in one way or another, but it's interesting to see how these collections differ in focus.
I hope when he turns the power on in his studio, you hear the computer from War Games say "Shall we play a game?"
I wish 🙂
Nice studio & I love your music but come on man in 2022 you could at least do a 1080p video.
Is the cameraman drunk LOL...but what a studio, Wow
All I have is a laptop a Yamaha DJx a cheap ass multi track recorder a minidisc player and a hifi headphones and a mic ..oh yeah an old Xbox daw and I used apps on my phone like 303 sequencers ect...
Poor Jupiter 6. You could see a single tear run down its control surface if you look closely. 😥
Seems the camera person wasn't as enthused about the gear as BT was. They seemed to always be looking somewhere other than where BT was pointing to our talking about. That part was disappointing.
Insane room though!
I noticed that too. It's his wife Lacie holding the camera, as he mentions once. I guess she sees it all every day 😄
Looks like second hand recording off of a screen or being recorded from a 90s camera.
nice vid, but did you shoot with poor quality ?
Looks like a second hand recording off of a screen.
What manufacturer of stands/hangs did you use for synth mounting on the walls?
