It's Time to Talk About My Synth Setup

- I've put off talking about this stack of synthesizers, drum machines, and audio gear for long enough. Let's dive into the main LGR synth setup and what I do with it! I'm still an amateur with this but here's a bit of a studio tour anyway. Weird electronic music and cool sounds of all kinds, I just can't get enough!
● Take a look at my eurorack modules here:

Here's a longer mix of the intro music:

Good stuff I'm gonna add it to my playlist for reading the sprawl trilogy.
Dude show off this stuff more, had no idea you were into idm acid or whatever. Thats sick
I would really love to watch you play around with this setup more, some showcases and perhaps tutorials or whatnot. this vid scratches an itch I never knew I had... I think Im falling into a rabbit hole :D
LGR Music channel?
If you rearrange the letters of your name (Clint Basinger), you can get "Net Cabling Sir" or "Nab Nicest Girl"
So I have to watch out for my missus before she gets stolen 😄
I've just learned a terrible truth. I think Clint Basinger is a Synth Lord.
How is that terrible?
@@Ook-Ook Its a Star Wars joke...sith lord, synth lord ;-)
Bruh I know I'm r)wooshing rn. But lazerhawk is the shit
@@tylercoletti6263 yesssss LazerHawk... R.E.M. and Dream Machine are my favorites!
@@patrickglaser1560 Naaa....his clone is Anders Enger Jensen ;-) :-p
Is this the LGR equivalent of “So a lot of you have been asking about my skincare routine”
Except we actually care
@@FORDboy357 god damn right
His skin looks silky smooth...
his skin *is* immaculate...
@HalcyonVibes
Listen to that subtle off-key arpeggiation... the tasteful thickness of it... *oh my god*
Don't downplay your talent, dude! As a fellow synth nerd, it takes a lot of time and patience to figure out each and every new piece of gear. It seems like you're pretty well versed!
48:15 i never expected to see LGR making some acid breakbeat
that is the bomb!!
Seriously need to livestream or something. This shit is dope…
so Clint went from making tuna sandwiches as a side hobby to making German 2000's acid techno
Tanzmaschine 2.0
Das Furz
Whatever happened to LGRfoods anyway?
A natural progression, clearly.
next thing you know he will make jazz in a digital form
I’m speechless. Didn’t expected him to be a synth lord too.
Is there anything this man isn’t capable of?!
yes. speechless is correct. i don’t know why but this elevates my love for lgr to levels i could not fathom before.
But maybe more probable then him being a cello virtuoso 😀 it’s electronic gadgets after all
@@joshmay2944 I havent seen him welding, doing machine work, nor fixing a car :>
@@Vein1986 something tells me that he's quite knowledgeable about cars too
Shit dude. You need to drop an album. NOW. Or at LEAST start streaming for 30 or 60 minutes at a time, just doing this. I think a LOT of your fanbase would dig the hell out of it!
seriously! i was listening to end of the video in the background and subconsciously jamming out
Agreed I was getting lost in it just like he was making it
For sure!
I'm sure there is a decent sized overlap between us tech nerds (especially old tech), and music/synth nerds. This stuff reminds me of some demoscene music, and I love it!
@@ilackedtheheart 100% dude many nerds in the 90s/00s listened to electronic music while computing at night or messed with musical electronics comes with the territory
Speaking as a musician, I can confirm that this is, indeed, music, which makes you a musician, in addition to whatever else you are. Those ambient bloops in the first clip of the modular rack were sick asf.
1000% would listen to a straight hour of "Synth Fucking Around: The Album"
I'd gladly even pay for a copy
When its release can't wait....
Sign me up for 12 hours
1:35 incredible!
Sign me up!!!
You're a man of great taste.
A man who tastes great
@metfan4l from another man of great tastes.
Less filling
A man of culture. 🙌
a man of midi
"10 Hours of synth wave beats to study/relax to"
Thinking the same thing!
This man has been making 90s demo music without knowing it for YEARS.
Alternate title: *It's time to talk about my synth ADDICTION.*
EDIT: In all seriousness, awesome video!! I have the ZOOM L-12 mixer (12 channels) and it is great. However, the effects are also one per session/project and you can only adjust the fx volume for each channel. Besides that, the extra outputs are handy for headphones or extra speakers/monitors and they had a PAD button for high/low impedance devices to reduce noise and distorted input signals. If you want to know something else, just let me know!
I DON"T HAVE A PROBLEM!!!11
me to my therapist
it's not called euro(c)rack for nothing
"It's not a phase, mom!"
@Timo Should try that with my mom next time she says something about all the computer stuff in my room
Clint: “ im not a musician” also clint: * lays down some sick ass synth beats*
Brian Eno doesn't consider himself a musician either, and look at what he accomplished.
or well.. 2:50 has a whole new meaning for "sick ass beats"
My thoughts exactly. LOL
@@estebanf9282 true....true...
@@estebanf9282 Heh, ass beats.
That song that starts at 2:08 would fit perfectly into the soundtrack of a Build engine game.
To me sounds like a song that would be used in a vehicle select menu.
this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. dude, you got the skills! please please please do more of this here or on another channel, I could listen to you ad-libing synths in the background of my work all day.
Most of this would run 100% in an underground techno cave.
My thoughts exactly! Clint needs to get some music released on a German techno label or something.
@@bf0189 Yes!
LGR been holding out on us that he's a dope acid house producer!
LOL
he literally is. weird and amazing. bet he loves aphex.
Right?
Put some stuff up on bandcamp. Someone will probably buy it.
2:29 I'm expecting Wesley Sniped to walk into the club at any point now
or recreation of the rallysport challenge theme song from xbox
or neo to start slow motion shootin the feds
That scene is amazing. It's super cheesy, in the good way.
Kind of reminds me of the music that plays in that nightclub in Mass Effect 2.
What are you doing here Simon
Please please please just upload ALL your synth jams. Everything you made in this video I enjoyed so much, especially the one at the end. Don’t be afraid to call yourself a musician man, there’s no bar to meet or anything, you have talent
Also, just wanted to note, REALLY enjoyed the stuff at the intro with the Roland TB303 clone, sounded fucking awesome man
If you do make an album you can call it “Against the (wood)Grain” and the vinyl pour could look like wood grain
Get Wax Mage on it
I’d buy it!
Yes! I would love an album from Clint!!
Oh My Laaawd. This is beyond epic! So many vibes.
This is a basically a documentary where we live inside your head for 55 mins.
A great place to be
@@tacitus101010 All i see is LGR Woodbrain!
@@razorsz195 Another idea that makes me wish I knew how to draw.
As a "pro" musician I really love that you are just into this for the cool sounds and fun. It's refreshing. Plus i spotted the teac tape deck box, got to be some fun in that! box.
What would you suggest for a good non expensive 🤑 synth for beginners 🤷♂️😁🥀🤘
@@bryanscarboddi1210 I would suggest a Cre8audio East Beast, $250. There are plenty of videos about it on here. It was my gateway drug. I'm probably as much as a musician as Clint is, I just like making cool and strange sounds and sequences and sometimes it actually sounds like music.
I absolutely love your channel. You've been an inspiration for many series I have on my own- I also have been making a lot of my own music for my channel and invested in a few synths I really love. This made me happy.
👍
The fart Mario song is a piece of art.
Lg-ART
a piece o' fart
Clint is a real-life Gene Belcher.
LGR just got even cooler. So much kudos on the Acid Techno. Gorgeous.
I shouldn't be surprised that's a genre that already existed, but I am anyway
I always think of Rob acids rappertara wen I hear a 303
WOAH! All these years of watching your channel and to see that you’re starting a euro rack collection just makes me smile. I’m so glad this might become a part of the channel dude.
If you release an album, I'd definitely buy it!
“Not a whole lot of depth”
Proceeds to talk about his synth for approximately an hour
With edits 😅👍
I could go on for DAYS about my synth setup. So, an hour is not a lot of depth
As a musician of 30 years who was in college in the early 90s and played with a LOT of MIDI back then I couldn't be more jealous of that setup!!
i play guitar and i'm jealous
The sound of analog synth is amazing. The audio textures really do it for me. Great intro.
2:07 i cant even describe how good and badass that sounds... Please release it
Sound like it's from HL2...
"I'm not a musician"
*composes a third of the cyberpunk sound track*
I mean, there's a group of people who prefer the word producer to composer or musician, because musician usually refers either to acoustic music or pop and composer usually refers to something closer to classical music and sheet music. producer tends to refer to something made with electronic instruments.
Also people tend to just say the fiddle with knobs instead of saying they make music because ngl it's mostly just chance
@@illford6921 But most the time it's humility. When you say you're a composer people are like "Wow! he must be talented!". But if you say you "just mess around" you're not tooting your own horn.
@@chapeurato9152 Not true. These instruments can be controlled in a number of ways including keyboard, wind instruments and any number of controllers. Many of which are much more expressive and require much more skill than standard acoustic instruments (pianos don't have aftertouch). Just because they CAN be sequenced doesn't mean they are ALWAYS sequenced. Saying an electronic artist is not a musician is like saying a pianist is no musician. I play several instruments including the piano and guitar and can say, an electronic artist IS a musician.
Not sure if that is a complement or a dis, but I thought what he made was cool.
@@lethauntic The soundtrack was one of the few good things about the game at least for the most part.
You should do patreon live dj sessions like LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER every once in a while. I was bobbing my head hard at the end!
Man!!! I see a whole new show here and I love it! Weekly jam time with casual commentary! Grabs bong and kicks back!! Love it! More please! 🙏🏻
As someone who is trained in music theory and has played Bach preludes and fugues...
I absolutely love seeing people who just simply and genuinely enjoy making music and making interesting sounds.
That's my real jam!
Rock on man! \m/
I need an LSR
Lazy Synth Reviews
Just you, making random music and telling us how you do your music
With of course a full Mario Fart Soundtrack
But yes, you should do an album, I would listen to it day and night
“I’m not a Musician”
*composes Half Life 3 soundtrack*
Composes the hbo chernobyl soundtrack
Yeh, it's realy giving me Half-Life vibes
It's all programming, most of which is done by the tech. Synth is a really easy way to think you're a musician.
@@WinterInTheForest kinda sounds like you dont know what the fuck you're talking about
@@WinterInTheForest TH-cam is a really easy way to talk out your ass.
CLINT. . . .please for the love of god do a series on synthesizers! I love this! I had no idea you did synthesis on top of EVERYTHING else!
Absolutely awesome man, the jam in the end, very tasteful. Would love to see more!
"I make things that sound like that, or like this"
Dont lie Clint, you are just playing the Half Life soundtrack.
or quake 1
LGR Half Life 3 Dr Dre DETOX Album CONFIRMED!!!!!!
Yes that was so much like half life it's insane. It would be great to use for a half life mod
Gives me Epic Pinball Excalibur vibes
“Not a musician”? Dude. I’d genuinely love to buy an album of this stuff. Would be a pretty cool way to help support the channel, too.
And he’s gonna need it. Modular synths are a rackmounted hole in which to throw money.
I would LOVE to get into modular... but that would be unwise.
The cassette release would be great!
I love this, dude. Not only it's it cool to see all this stuff and how you got it all working together, but it's great to see you have so much fun as well. It's contagious. Do what makes you happy and keep having fun. Thank you for sharing this with us, and everything else.
The mix at the end took me back 35 years to a derelict warehouse in Reading, nights that involved bangin' tuneage and sick amounts of various uppers and downers. Thanks Clint :)
I thought he about to bang out Blue Monday.
Awesome! I envy your ability to find your place in the scene
"I could go on about the details for 14 hours"
Hell yeah please do!
New channel time! DJ.LGR!
Techmoan: Puts out a video on a single graphic eq display.
Clint: Hold my beer.
You mean spectrum analyser. Graphical EQs are something completely different.
@@nicolasjonasson4820 no, Techmoan literally put out a video on a graphical EQ that day. I said exactly what I meant to say.
I love techno/ambient music and this kind of music is great to chill-out to - turn up the volume and let the music take you.. brilliant stuff! I would love to see more. A great setup, you have - and expertise in putting it all together.
It's so good to see you create some music. It's a great creative outlet, and it seems like you know exactly what you are doing. Excellent explanations of everything too. I have a full in the box setup. Thank you for sharing this! Love the music.
We found your channel years ago when my daughter was looking for Sims videos. Then I geeked out over your retro computer and gaming videos. Now my husband’s geeking out over this synth video. Are you spying on us? If so, keep doing it. This is awesome!
We need an LGR techno album IMMEDIATELY!
We need the experimental drone noise industrial album
I want more of this music so badly
It reminds me of the cyber90's
@@subtledemisefox fr
Yes! Your setup is fantastic! Great video man!
This is sick, makes me want to get into synths
"i just like experimenting with sounds"
Every Noise Producer in a nut shell
This is so cool. I would love to do something like this, except:
- I don't have the space for it, still living at home.
- Operating this equipment would be like driving a steam engine; it would be fun, but I'd have no idea what I'd be doing.
@@QJ89 there’s plenty of opensource freeware like VCV that will familiarize you with their behavior. Daunting at first but before you know it you’re a switchboard operator.
Dude, I'm digging the musical builds! You going to drop some tracks on us LGR???
Agreed, I want a collection of your tracks. Leave out the Mario farts, please.
@@MrThemeddleman Disagree, need more Mario farts.
That'd be a good, he should have a soundcloud
@@TheLuigi I'm holding out for the release of Mario Fart 64.
Please need RAVE LGR on LP or Cassette
“I’ll buy that for a Dollar”
Dude, I can just, totally watch you do this live for hours. It's just so much fun. Like, it's not even the music, is just watching you have fun, you know how you are, you really express when you are enjoying the stuff you got. We all watched you unbox a computer and a keyboard and had a blast while doing so.
What a tour! This was sick I dig ❤
Wooord! Awsome video!
I totally would love to just hear you mess around with this in a livestream for like a hour or so.
Came to say this
Seconded! Clint, do eet!
Yes, yes and yes!!!
Yep. I came here precisely to say this. Clint probably feels fine around cameras, and these would be great to watch!
"Probably not a whole lot of depth..." - 54 mins later. Nice video.
That's like being 54 feet deep in the middle of the ocean, relatively speaking not deep at all
Woah! Righteous setup here! Love the intro music too. Congrats
This was a tasty change of pace from your usual content, and a nice little introduction to some musical toys I hadn't yet seen. Good stuff.
as a big nerd that's also into music production, I love this
ooh fuk yeh
As a music nerd who's also into retro tech, I also love this!
Drummer who nerds out over '80s tech here... I fucking love this
Popcoin.
Old nerd here, just got my first synth three months ago...was always too busy gaming before I had a family! Now I don't want to do anything else.
That's a super cool setup you got there! And you got some cools beats and sound effects going on there!
Someone here listened to a lot of Future Sound of London in the 90's-00's.
Once you hear that, your music taste is forever changed.
Time for the acid techno album.
Bruh moment...
I would love this also
My mind is blown. I didn’t see this coming in a million years.
Came for the synths, stayed for the music, commented for the algorithm.
same
Dude, loved your sounds!
Holy moly, this is awesome. Didn't know that you where in to this stuff. Definitely want to see more of this stuff on this channel. 👍 👍
“Experimenting with sounds/not a musician”
*Mario theme with farts on a synth*
I have played, recorded and written music for 24 years. I Studied music at university, built my own studio and learned the important lesson of "lift with your legs" when moving your 8x10 ampeg cab.
...so you know, welcome to the black hole of time, money and livable space that is music, we are happy to have you here with us. Stay safe my man.
Awesome! Love the way you play!
Such an amazing dream job with all the super cool projects you can undertake
If you need any help with those tektronix scopes, let me know; Pocking around in old test gear is a passtime of mine, and I could probably give you some pointers.
I might also be able to give you a few pointers with the scopes if you ever take the plunge to try to fix them.
I've been repairing electronics professionally since I was 16 now 62. More now a hobby I love, along with Ham Radio.
Fixed a few of my own scopes too in the past.
My dad actually works at Tektronix.
@@zamsaraguth Mine works at SEGA.
Y'all have some dope dads.
I am Tektronix and I will tell you how to fix me.
As an academic musician with my own definions of what music is. I guess it's a no-brainer to say that if you're playing around with sounds and hearing stuff that you like, then it's music. It doesn't need to have a beat or a defined melody or pretty textures to call it music.
@@patrickglaser1560 It did for a while, but my major was never in performance and lately I've been rediscovering the pleasures of playing while having a totally new perspective on music and listening. It's been a really cool ride, although I'm still trying to figure out how to put food on the table.
@@PSPbrtag you to it how musicians have always done it.
You sell drugs.
Music is simply organised sound.
Back to Musique Concrete, which was all the trend in the 1950s. I don't recall who, but someone claimed that the worst thing ever to happen to Synthesizers was them sticking a keyboard on them.
Your modular synth rack is just crazy ! It sounds really great congratulations :)
Wow this is so satisfying to listen to, now I love your channel even more
YEEEEEEES, As a synth enthusiast this is my favourite LGR video ever!!!
SAME!! got into synths a year or two ago so this is SUCH a treat!
I would SO watch a stream of you just going ham on this. This is amazing, your enthusiasm is infectious.
Please!!! I need this.
I seriously, seriously enjoyed this video. By far the most honest and transparent synth studio setup video I've watched. I just wish I could hear this jam on a loud system, in a crowd, possibly hallucinating.
This is good stuff. Please keep sharing man.
You are absolutely ready to play at one of RMC's "Rave in the Cave" events.
Clint talking about synths? I’m in.
i love this vid so much, i’d love more synth related content!
Love the plaits and bia combo :-) got mine a year ago also and they provide fun times every time I boot them up! Keep at it, the jams sound amazing
"I donno - my brain likes this" will be my default explanation from now on.
Well, this was one of the few non synth related channels I sub to. I can't escape the gear.
I am in awe. Also a big synth fan working on a collection. New to the channel. Glad I came across it.
Dope set up Clint, I like the mix of knoby synths and racks with patches
You had a secret synthesizer lab the whole time? Bruh.
real heads knew for over a year, he flashed it in one of the midi mountain vids
Yesss. We asked and LGR delivered. So hyped to see this in detail
love the spiny computer intro, haven't noticed it before, but it's legit! as always, thanks for the content! sounds like music to me :)
Wow I've been watching your channel for a hot minute, had no idea you were into synths and drum machines etc, very cool!
Clint: "I'm not sure if what I make is actually music"
Me: I grew up in the UK in the 90s when rave and xtc ruled, this is perfect music IMO.
Xtc the band, the drug or both?
Yea, I was thinking something similar. I was a fan of the likes of Orbital, Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada...
Clint: "I'm not a musician!"
Me: "Welp... thanks for doing a breakdown on how they did all that DAWless..."
"My synth setup"... I knew it, Clint is a synth. That's why there are multiple copies of him, every Christmas!
This is awesome I have the same hobby, finding cool sounds with analog gear. I didn’t know you were into this stuff. Great video
This is what it's all about, hell yeah dude!! Sounds awesome!!
Me: Ah, yes. 2021 is the perfect opportunity to continue my journey into minimalism.
Clint: Is it, now?
Ok, new channel: LGR synths
Every video just recording you however long your doing this.
I will be there!
Wow! I never know you're into that stuff. Awesome video and outstanding collection of synths
100% right there with you on the DAW-less setup. I do have an MPC One and a couple of other workstation-y items, and a Tascam portastudio, but for actually making sound - it's all hands-on and very analog feeling. I stumbled on this entirely by accident today, don't know how I missed this since I've been a lurking fan of the channel for ages!
