As a kid I was fascinated with the sounds in the movie forbidden planet. I was so inspired by the Barron's amazing soundtrack and always wanted to know how they made such amazing soundscapes decades before synthesizers were a thing
Resonating here! 😊 When i was a kid, all those great soundtracks were coming out (Raiders etc) and i got obsessed with Tron and Switched on Bach… of course i ended up making electronic soundtrack music! We are so lucky now, to have affordable versions of so many classic instruments (Grandmo & Matriarch!). Joy! 🥰
My understanding was that the unique sounds created by the Barrons were only supposed to be used sparingly as mood setters for specific scenes. But once the producers heard what the Barrons came up with, they decided to make it a full soundtrack. So electronic pieces were used in earlier films, but Forbidden Planet was the first film with an all electronic score. (This may need to be fact checked, lol). Anyways, I don't want to derail Hainbach's video too much.
Far was I know, FP was the first all electronic score. I doubt there was another one, anytime soon after FP. It got a funny "billing" in the movie, something like electronic tonalities. It couldn't be called music, for union reasons or something. Barons never got due credit from Hollywood at the time IMO, but there's obviously a lot of fans of their work out there, including me@@crhkrebs
The recording starting at 15:25 is very good! It is like you used the sound at the end of a record when the needle is jumping back and forth in the end track. When I was young, I put on a record and fall asleep, only to wake up to that sound. It feels like a still life painting. Thanks for that flashback!
I jumped up when I heard that sound - it is the gain in the UBM turned way up, so it amplifies the noise until the pulse comes and pushes it back. That became the basis of that beat. I absolutely get that record analogy, I used to do the same
This is so wonderfull! I can totally imagine this on tour: special locations like caves or empty industrial spaces, a minimalistic but fantastic light setup, a really good sound system with enough low end, maybe even quadraphonic (you on stage having lots of interaction with the engineer) ......and a crew of bodybuilders to lift all the heavy stuff...
Thank you, Hainbach! Wonderful studio that you have! I love the sounds of the earliest electronic composers, musique concrete, Stockhausen, Boulez, Xenakis, Cage, Partch, Varèse, Zappa, i freaking adore Delia Derbyshire. Everything today is so digital and perfect. But i get real joy from playing with tape loops and primitive analogue oscillators and filters. Sometimes you can get circuits feeding back in complex ways, and the start behaving unpredictably, self-oscilating, etc. So much fun. That's for sharing your joy of sound. Die Welt ist Klang. (Pete Namlook ref, RIP)
There really is something physical and present about these kinds of electronics. Many from this era were made from war-surplus electronics made for planes and tanks. Each component was over-built so they would never fail in battle; mission critical electronics. As a result, they sound more robust and physical than the tidy carefully-spec’d things we have now through mass production. Really it’s for real.
Probably my favorite video so far. A tube accordian? Giant inductor-based filters? A gong speaker? Lock me up in that room, throw me some water and some bread every few days, and check back in every month or so and i'll be fine!!
All of this would be a fun curiosity but when it all comes together in the end and you are making truly unique and emotive music with it… that’s why we it’s all worth it.
I use MDR7506s since 30 years, even before they're called MDR7506 but "MDR V7", I know them by heart. Even if I use other headphones I always check my mixes on a 7506. These are excellent, real true classics. And now I'm listening your video thru one of my pair of 7506 connected to my macbook. 😉
This is excellent, and it really drives home how much things have changed in the world of electronic music, especially in terms of barrier to entry. When I was younger I found myself producing music in a very similar kind of low open space(which incidentally I also found myself living in for a short period as well). As the space was a rental and I couldn't make building modifications, I was able to sort of combat the acoustic issues by building a partition around my studio area with thrifted book shelves that I stuffed with cheap pillows. It wasn't pretty and certainly wouldn't have looked good on camera but it did make the space much more pleasant to work in.
Very nice to see your Studio B!. It so inspiring to see you create something with this equipment. Must really get my Philips N4416 fixed to record my own tapes again. Love to plugins also!
I have an old magazine laying here, High Fidelity, October 1956. An article on Pg. 64 by Allen Forte describes his visit to WDR studio where electronic music was being created. Talks about Stockhausen compositions and technology.
this is a phantastic setup... and thanks to you one can at least try some of this sounds without a basement full of hardware....we just today finished a track where i used heavily the gong amp, landfill totem and noises.... without your inspiration i would never had the idea to explore this kind of sounds...
This stuff is mind blowing. It's exactly what my brain wants to listen to right now, too. It's been a rough week and i need to meditate, I have terrible tinnitus so I have to meditate with sound.
Thank you sir. That set up looks amazing and thanks for sharing for those of us that think a Deluge connected to an OP-1 through a Boss looper is complicated.
Super cool setup. It sure does look like fun to play with. I can't imagine breaking this all down and carting it to gigs. Must take forever to pull apart and put back together again. Would be totally worth it though once the curtains opened and the show begins.
This resonates with me so much. Love the juxtaposition of gear, and, obviously the results. I can only dream of having such a space to experiment in, but it doesn't stop me creating. There are always new ways to explore old equipment, thanks for sharing your inspiring journey
If I investigated paranormal phenomena, this is the lab I would build to summon the ghost of Delia Derbyshire!! Really well done, quite wonderful. Thank you for sharing!!
Really enjoying what you've shown so far and looking forward to the next phase. I agree about the input channels on the space echo, I love to push them and even better that there's three. Going to look up the gong amp now.
Yeah the stereo mic on the gong records alos a bit of the tape “rattle” and knob movements, so there is always a bit of a documentary feeling to the recording.
Dude - you are crazy cool - I would love to visit Germany one day and just sit and watch you work. I love the gadgetry, hacking and tape hanging everywhere, experimental mess of sounds. How does that mind of yours work, really? Awesome. I just make sounds that are musical (maybe) - you make sounds that are symphonies.
Damn is this COOL. I often love the electronic sounds from the old days. Stuff like Forbidden Planet. My understanding was the limited electronic options, meant they did a lot of tape editing. e.g. Dr Who theme.
@@Hainbach I bought them for the studio just as normal reference headphones for monitoring during the recording. It was only in the past year that I discovered that they had a very flat response that would be good for mixing as well. I had never considered them as mixing headphones until that point and I agree with you that it is wonderful to find out these things. :-)
This equipment is not only very hard to find. It's also very expensive. Not even to mention the weight. Or the variety of cables, adapters and attenuators needed.
Most expensive of these was the space echo - the filters and such I got often rather cheaply, except for PBTA which cost me 800. The most I ever spend on a bandpass. But worth it. Bananas are pretty cheap and adapters easy to DIY. The biggest concern is as you said - weight. It’s all so crazy heavy, the shelf bends a little even
BBC in England had a similar studio too. Great Video as always. So much to see and learn and wonder =) Keep up this great work. It means a lot to me Thank you
Yes! Just different filters and oscillators, and a different mindset. I made this inspired by the Crystal Palace th-cam.com/video/R_FisplgLTE/w-d-xo.html
Sounds are wonderful! You said 1950's but are fresh and unique compare to music today. I listen on audiophile system and I had gus skin in few moments. Just wonder, if you,could get nice 3 dimensional space in your recordings, differentiate individual layers of generated sounds in stereo space? This is the best channel about creating electronic music and synthesizer instruments.
Interessantes Set-up! Dein Keller ist (mit viel Fantasie) ein bisschen wie der alte Tresor, in sauber, ohne Schweisstropfen von der Decke und wahrscheinlich auch nicht so ultrabrutal laut.
This may sound weird and I’ve commented this before (and don’t expect it to actually happen) but WOW I want to know the layout of your apartment. An apartment here in Australia is 1 or 2 small bedrooms, a lounge/kitchen open area and maybe a washing machine hidden in a cupboard. You seem to have multiple floors, a cellar and enough rooms to have separate offices and studio as well as bedrooms. Sounds ridiculous by the standards here.
Inspiring video! I've never heard of this mixer before, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will look out for it once I have some spare cash.. Would you consider making a dedicated video on vintage mixers (and amazing things to look for)? Pretty please!

That bassdrum through the gong amp is unreal, love it
As a kid I was fascinated with the sounds in the movie forbidden planet. I was so inspired by the Barron's amazing soundtrack and always wanted to know how they made such amazing soundscapes decades before synthesizers were a thing
Me, too! I just recorded a song for TH-cam with a 2600 and a Juno 60 as an homage to classic sci-fi. What magic those soundtracks were!
Forbidden Planet is such a classic soundtrack.

Agree, I loved that sound! It’s like the studio is breathing.
I jumped up when I heard that sound - it is the gain in the UBM turned way up, so it amplifies the noise until the pulse comes and pushes it back. That became the basis of that beat. I absolutely get that record analogy, I used to do the same
This is one of the things that makes Hainbach so cool. His viewers are really cool and excited about these things and just get it.
That gong amp absolutely rules.
14:45 The LFO Ghost on the right.
Excellent video, I love music and old electronics. Keep doing your thing. Respect, peace and love.
Proof that limitations breed creativity!
Creativity creates creativity.
Breeding limits proof.

Those Sony headphones are seriously the best workhorse cans anyone ever needs.
Thank you so much for capturing these endangered signal modifiers!

As a result, they sound more robust and physical than the tidy carefully-spec’d things we have now through mass production. Really it’s for real.
I love this. I really need to put all gear purchasing on hold so I can buy a proper space for it all.
Probably my favorite video so far. A tube accordian? Giant inductor-based filters? A gong speaker? Lock me up in that room, throw me some water and some bread every few days, and check back in every month or so and i'll be fine!!
All of this would be a fun curiosity but when it all comes together in the end and you are making truly unique and emotive music with it… that’s why we it’s all worth it.
If Amazon ever got to make their WH40K series, some of the music you create here would be an amazing match, a mix of lo-fi and menace!

Wonderfull vibes from the basement. You have reached the full hainbachness, it's all there.
Very nice to see your Studio B!. It so inspiring to see you create something with this equipment. Must really get my Philips N4416 fixed to record my own tapes again. Love to plugins also!
I hope you release that track around 10mn with that MAHOOSSIVE growling bass kick, that seems fantastic to listen with big sound.
I have an old magazine laying here, High Fidelity, October 1956. An article on Pg. 64 by Allen Forte describes his visit to WDR studio where electronic music was being created. Talks about Stockhausen compositions and technology.
This is incredible. The austere design of the equipment is breathtaking. I wish I could pay for even an hour to just play with this gear. So cool.
Looking forward to the album.
Ooooh.... when you put white noise through that band pass filter.... so nice!
I missed a lot of videos. Now Hainbach have another studio and a sweater I didn't see.
Wow that's amazing stuff. I also use the same earphones. They are the industry preferred standard for production studios.
this is a phantastic setup... and thanks to you one can at least try some of this sounds without a basement full of hardware....we just today finished a track where i used heavily the gong amp, landfill totem and noises.... without your inspiration i would never had the idea to explore this kind of sounds...
That makes me so happy to hear!
Hmmm brilliantly gritty but sooooo analog, thick dark and deliciously beautiful 🙏🏼 thank you for basement the tour 😎
I love the studio, the equipment and how you use it. I also haven't had a single project that hasn't had Dials on it somewhere since it was released.
Playing everything through that old accordion. this is top level, you are at the top.
This stuff is mind blowing. It's exactly what my brain wants to listen to right now, too. It's been a rough week and i need to meditate, I have terrible tinnitus so I have to meditate with sound.
You are such a nerd! I love it! the sound is wild and the aesthetic is so cool. I love how big and bulky all this stuff is.
This was really interesting Hainbach!
Thank you sir. That set up looks amazing and thanks for sharing for those of us that think a Deluge connected to an OP-1 through a Boss looper is complicated.

I can't imagine breaking this all down and carting it to gigs. Must take forever to pull apart and put back together again. Would be totally worth it though once the curtains opened and the show begins.
Living the dream!
This is amazing. So unique and outside of the box. Mind=Blown!
12:16 he's done it again 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would like to experience the basement smell in combination with the audible excitement!
I love your shirt, the patterns are great
FASCINATING
This resonates with me so much. Love the juxtaposition of gear, and, obviously the results. I can only dream of having such a space to experiment in, but it doesn't stop me creating. There are always new ways to explore old equipment, thanks for sharing your inspiring journey
cant beat a V6.(same thing) They have been used in studios and sound sets all over the world for 40+ years- Cool setup!
I have used the same folding Sony 7509's since 1999. They are my preference for all monitoring situations.
I absolutely love this video! I love seeing all the thought and processes you put into putting physicality to your musical processes.
If I investigated paranormal phenomena, this is the lab I would build to summon the ghost of Delia Derbyshire!! Really well done, quite wonderful. Thank you for sharing!!
13:34 starts sounding like artillery and gunfire!
Very fascinating and amazing to hear/see all of this, thank you for sharing :) greetings from Finland
this is excellent, i love the old test gear, but my wife is in love with your brioche jumper, and would like the pattern for it
Its a Missoni - no sure they open up their patterns.
Like a soundtrack to Simon Stalenhag artwork! That would be perfect to listen to while going through his books.
Absolute dream studio
This is wild! Good work, Professor!
Really enjoying what you've shown so far and looking forward to the next phase. I agree about the input channels on the space echo, I love to push them and even better that there's three. Going to look up the gong amp now.
Most of this stuff is beyond me in many ways, but the gong amp does give me an idea
What an amazing studio tour. Love it!
Hainbach: Mad Scientist or Artist? BOTH.
Inspirig stuff as always, some beautiful sounds here, love those filters
Fantastic sonic workshop! Gorgeous, living sounds. Great work. 🙂
real sound cave ... good reverb may the walls speak to you
PLEASE💙make this a series
12:49 That bass!!!
I can't wait to come and see this ! I'll be knocking on the door in May :)
Yeah, looking forward!
Lovely things, lovely sounds ...
It's so authentic sounding
Yeah the stereo mic on the gong records alos a bit of the tape “rattle” and knob movements, so there is always a bit of a documentary feeling to the recording.

Yes, I love my 7506 headphones! I found the same thing you did. Part of my mixing is done with those phones.
It is so wonderful to find out these things - I could have made my life easier much earlier!

Hey hainbach, stop living all my dreams. geez.
Schlaufenzeit is an amazing word
12:48 that kick/bass tho
reminds me of bbc's radiophonic workshop, which created the sounds for doctor who in the 60s
Just got one of your plugin in a Spitfire bundle for the winter sale , very cool stuff !
You are GREAT!!! 😇
Fantastic! Would be lovely to hear some of these new sounds in an update to AudioThing's Noises.
New sound come when the iOS port is ready
@@Hainbach Wondeful, thank you! Have a great weekend!

Talking about sounds from outer space!
Very cool. That is a great project.
Can't wait to see studio Q haha
The Sony 7506 is imho the best headphones. Got my first pair in ‘97 when I started djing
This is what electronic music pioneers had in the 50s and 60s especially the bbc
Amazing!

Remembering the horror and also hommaging the direct and indirect victims of that catastrophe.
epic sounds

Our flat is very odd - its three put together. So there is a lot of space at 2012 rents, which are half of todays.
Sony 7506's have been around forever, they sound great and best of all they are not horribly expensive. I have two pair of them.

13:15 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a plug-in of this thing.
Also, please let us know if/when this album is released.
Danke vielmals für den upload maeestro. 11:56 Gleich der erste Part da... Gehört eigentlich in den club oder. Der sound ist fett.
this album's not out yet, right? absolutely loving the fragility of all these sounds.
Yes, I am still working on it. I recorded five good pieces last year, and now I am in the second phase.
Wow!
