Very impressive ! Very great studio tour, nice shots of the gear. Over all Quality is on point. Great job from all of you. What I liked was, u get to a point very soon and dont talk as much about things and persons u may know or not, as some dudes do. Mostly they named warren. :D love it !
Awww man ... I feel bad laughing. Warren is great, good natured dude. But yes his tendency to talk about himself gets old fast. Gotta respect this studio tour. although credit to the owner since he's able to cary it well -- and without English being his first language.
I came to this video today to study one of my favorite engineers, and sadly learned he was dead. this hurts, man. RIP Zdar. You were an amazing influence on myself and the music world in general.
How does something like that happen? I'm not trying to be morbid or crude but was it dark? Was he drunk? So strange and there is just no info available besides, "he accidentally fell thru a top floor window." I understand that's not impossible, it's just really strange.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer yeah...it's beyond peculiar to me as well. Paris must have some weak ass glass windows that music producers love to go stepping on in the middle of the day or night. DJ Medhi died the same exact way. 🤦♂️
Honestly, this is the best and most sincere studio tour on the internet and beyond. He was a shy person and as the tour went on and you discussed equipment, he opened up and shared his knowledge and wisdom. You too have a similar character, in the sense that you don't take any BS from no-one and you are confident because you simply know your *hit ! Thanks for this:)
i come back to watch this every few months. it's become somewhat of a comfort watch to be honest. i just wanna say thank you for arranging this and i'm so very glad you were able to have such an experience with this wonderful human being and share it with us while he was still here. this video should be in the millions of views imo. philippe forever ♡
J'ai été câbleuse-son en compagnie de mon fils Jérémie, pour le studio MOTORBASS de Philippe "Cassius" au 84 rue des Martyrs Paris. Nous sommes très tristes d'apprendre son décès. Nos sincères condoléances pour sa famille, ses proches.
Came back to say rest in peace. This is one of my favorite studio tours to watch on youtube and was/is so inspiring. Condolences to those near to him and may they find strength in their weakness.
If you get a chance to see his Mix With The Masters video, the mix he does for the band Phoenix is STUNNING (he recorded and produced it in his studio) And his process was incredibly complex and detailed. What a master craftsman he was. Wish I had met him before he died.
Toujours au top! Ça fait plaisir de voir des artistes français établis dans le milieu partager leur passion pour la musique en dehors de nos frontières. Just magic! ;)
I was so sad. I grew up listenting in a loop an album he and hubert produced, the first mc solaar album. Then later i decided to buy all his album and i wanted to know who were this guy. Then i discoverd cassius , buy the first album and delt in love with. A school friend who were doing sound departement studies, meet him for a internship, mostly because we was curius who was behind phenix, he told me he was very nice , humble and a teacher in a soul. Since that i saw cassius in live, bught all the album and i will buy the other artist album for sure, for first with motorbass to last or recent. It’s all my life tastes and music i grewed up with, i had no favourite people in music, in later on that was cassius and phillipe. Right know i have a poster from the last album, dreems, who is proudly stand into my wall and i will enjoy for ever, rock non stop. R.i.p. phillipe.
It seems clear that Philip strictly follows a personal, excellent and cultivated sound taste, opposite to the "we have everything so everyone is happy" trend of other studios. The setup makes all the sense in the world. This was a great learning experience because of how streamlined, well thought is every aspect, and the passion (for both parts) along all the interview, that ended up being a totally honest, full disclosure commentary on practical applications of some of the best audio treasures out there..Amazing studio, amazing gear, top video. Thank you very much!
A big loss, for a lot of reasons. He has made a lot of things, every musician, producer or dj, has ever look for in an entire life and he did it very well, as a true Music's lover. Thank you Mr. Zdar
Loved how he low key stated “this all is the end of an era”...seems like plugins are even getting die hards to face the modern reality. I’m hybrid in my studio, best of both worlds
J'arrive pas à m y faire que des légendes disparaissent... c est pour cela que je préférerais juste dire "magnifique" .... RIP....cette vidéo m a fait du bien et du mal... love mixbus ... thx man for your passion, knowledge and humanity...
Damn I just learned about this man, reading an interview about the making of Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, and I got super excited reading out his way of working and mind set, so I Google him and find out he left us too soon. RIP. Now digging into his work I haven’t heard will be bitter sweet.
Thanks for the great service you provide. How I wish your videos were around when I started.. live sound in 91' we were thrown into the fire, started recording in 96' had to learn as we went along. Kida the same when I bought my first DAW in 2005. It took a while to really wrap my brain around it and sometimes it feels like I'm still wrapping. thanks again
What a tragic end Phillippe. I'm shocked and I wanted to write something about how good my introduction to this channel, by enjoying this video, was. I'll save that for another time. I hope you will find peace, you're awesome.
C'est la première fois que je vois un tour de studio aussi détaillé sur le matériel disponible. En toute simplicité, décontracté et généreux. Bravo pour ce travail d'une vie Philippe ! Comment a t'il fait pour enlever le ventilo de la Lexicon 200 ? Elle est bien trop bruyante pour être dans la control room...
@@mixbustv I bet that the EMI compressor sounds good just about anything. And what about the pultec grand daddy, that thing must sound amazing. Hey I watched this with the on screen text and it was pretty funny, when he would say studio the text would read shoe. Just one of many miss-translations, this was great video though Zdar is an awesome engineer.
sad to his hear this gentleman is gone. That room is so narrow front-to-back. They just tried to kill the back wall with absorption and diffusion. It looks like it could be a nightmare - especially for the mid-fields. I wonder if there's a massive bass trap/dead room back there behind the racks? I wonder how this room sounds?
I love the philosophy of the man. The recording room is perfect, with plenty of wood, it's alive ! The best place where I played the guitar was in a full wood floor and furniture living room. It sounded so natural and pleasant to the ear that I couldn't stop playin. For me, it has to be fun, exctiting, because perfection is boring as fuck. Are machines fun? I don't think so :P
Super beau studio ! bien penser, et très jolie avec de belles machines original et française pour certaine d'entre elle :~p Merci pour cette visite de STUDIO ^___^ !
This was awesome. Camera work was difficult, but the explanations and passion made up for it. RIP to the guy, seemed very knowledgeable and passionate.
Philipe congrutilations really nice studio, my storie in my life is more or less like yours. we didn´t get this by a day, but by a life working, and i share almost 100% your ideas i also my first school was the 80 and 90´s electronic music. i also used all my life dry rooms, but i also agree for some kinds of music and drums, there is nothing like a natural air balanced room. And i think is really dificult to get near that in an artificial way, that because i spend lot´s doing it in artificial way, and we had never have better tools to do it until now, but if i have to chose from the right air room for drums i would chose easilly a perfect high cealling room then an artifical process to recreate that.... but i would never risk a first important record for that without knowing well the room in question... i Agree that if i need to chose to work several kinds of music a dry well balanced room is perfect... it´s a start point that gives more possibilities and creation.... Thanks and Great Studio.
Can anyone explain to me how would you tweak all this gear while constantly changing your location? I mean is it ok speaking about the stereo field, monitors field, etc.?
Very impressive ! Very great studio tour, nice shots of the gear. Over all Quality is on point. Great job from all of you. What I liked was, u get to a point very soon and dont talk as much about things and persons u may know or not, as some dudes do. Mostly they named warren. :D love it !
David "no bullshit" in da house !
Have a marvellous time recording David! haha
Awww man ... I feel bad laughing. Warren is great, good natured dude. But yes his tendency to talk about himself gets old fast. Gotta respect this studio tour. although credit to the owner since he's able to cary it well -- and without English being his first language.
I watch this video once every year since it's release. It was my dream to work with Zdar. RIP.
I came to this video today to study one of my favorite engineers, and sadly learned he was dead. this hurts, man. RIP Zdar. You were an amazing influence on myself and the music world in general.
RIP Zdar. What a genius.
Rip. We lost a huge talent today.
Such a legend and gentleman

@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer its just heartbreaking
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer Nah evidently it was an accident. Very odd way to die though. I mean how often is that reported?
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer yeah...it's beyond peculiar to me as well. Paris must have some weak ass glass windows that music producers love to go stepping on in the middle of the day or night. DJ Medhi died the same exact way. 🤦♂️

Still listen to this legend after 1 year ❤️
A big loss, for a lot of reasons. He has made a lot of things, every musician, producer or dj, has ever look for in an entire life and he did it very well, as a true Music's lover. Thank you Mr. Zdar
Loved how he low key stated “this all is the end of an era”...seems like plugins are even getting die hards to face the modern reality. I’m hybrid in my studio, best of both worlds
Cassius has been a huge influence on me and Zdar's work with other artists has been amazing. RIP Zdar
What a gorgeous room. Just the wood panels every. Ah man. Aside from all the gear even, that must be a joy to work in.
R.I.P - Such a tragedy, guy reached the top before he left us :)
Disclaimer: I'm not being cocky but "guy reached the top before he left us :)" is that supposed to be a crude joke about the nature of his passing?
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer no
How did he die?
Never get tired of this video.
the passion from these guys is palpable..thankyou for this
J'arrive pas à m y faire que des légendes disparaissent... c est pour cela que je préférerais juste dire "magnifique" .... RIP....cette vidéo m a fait du bien et du mal... love mixbus ... thx man for your passion, knowledge and humanity...

Same story.
Philippe is a master and a great guy!!!
R.I.P. Philippe! May your soul keeps on producing such great music somewhere in heaven.
Again, David you have given us front row seats to another masterpiece. Thank you.
Thanks for the great service you provide. How I wish your videos were around when I started.. live sound in 91' we were thrown into the fire, started recording in 96' had to learn as we went along.

Toop Toop (Reggae Rock mix) is still a beast of a track. Bass, vocals, everything sounds just right, and wild.
J'aurait adoré discuter avec lui posé sur la bute Montmartre 🖤...RIP legends never die 🤞🏼🙏🏼😢
15:42 He might have prophesied the end here. 🙏
What a tragic end Phillippe. I'm shocked and I wanted to write something about how good my introduction to this channel, by enjoying this video, was. I'll save that for another time.
I hope you will find peace, you're awesome.
My favorite studio tour on the web thus far. I look forward to seeing more from your channel. Keep em' up!!
was very cool. We can tell you took a real pleasure being here and we can feel it through the video.
Drool. David you are driving me freaking nuts. There are studios that us mere mortals do not have access to. I'm very inspired!
Excellent filming and editing, I hope you can keep the quality up in the future episodes!
Had the chance to meet him and to go to this studio quiet often around 2010, listening to few tracks of mine, amazing studio, amazing vibes
Absolutely great to see a philosophy of great studios and people, that work in there!
Thanks for taking the time to do this, and thank you Phillipe for sharing the knowledge!
Amazing interview! What an impressive guy! So sad he passed away. RIP

I liked this a lot. I hope you'll do more of this. I think it's good that you're starting to get in front of the camera. You're good at it.
Damn man this guy has the perfect studio, such great gear, love the tube stuff, he has great taste.

Omg I'd like to learn from this guy. Absolute Analog Expert. That gear is Legendary, all of the most iconic tools of Music Industry. Luving this ✌️🔥
He is sadly not w us anymore
@@hippisarecool I've heard.. it's sad
Hi: This is your best episode! I love that French engineer’s spirit too!
Rest In Peace Philippe...so sad !!!
Ah man, this great guy is gone?!. Dam. You made some great music sir!. RIP
This was so cool Dave, please do more vids like this and Philip, merci beacoup de nous avoir agree dans ton studio emerveillant. Sallut du NB, Canada.
What a cool and brilliant guy. Thanks for this.
"I think I am done with the studio" lol 🤣
Beautiful studio! Merci Mixbus for this video!
R.I.P. to an incredible musical talent!
holy god do they need all these to master a song? while others uses just plugins wow the studio is incredibly hot. i wish i have the budget.
sad to his hear this gentleman is gone.
That room is so narrow front-to-back. They just tried to kill the back wall with absorption and diffusion. It looks like it could be a nightmare - especially for the mid-fields. I wonder if there's a massive bass trap/dead room back there behind the racks? I wonder how this room sounds?
What a humble walkthrough. Great mix of education and inspiration in this video, great work.
This was amazing David, good job. Thanks a lot for sharing, I've been waiting to see this
I love this guy, such a good vibe. RIP Zdar
another great gift dude! I didn't expect that at all. gonna watch it right now.
cheers David
I love your videos Mix Buss Tv, always awesome, thanks for sharing.
A studio tour of Johnny Marr's studio would be dope! That is if you can get a hold of him or if he'd be down for that.
I love the philosophy of the man. The recording room is perfect, with plenty of wood, it's alive !
The best place where I played the guitar was in a full wood floor and furniture living room. It sounded so natural and pleasant to the ear that I couldn't stop playin. For me, it has to be fun, exctiting, because perfection is boring as fuck.
Are machines fun? I don't think so :P
Super beau studio ! bien penser, et très jolie avec de belles machines original et française pour certaine d'entre elle :~p Merci pour cette visite de STUDIO ^___^ !
So sad to lost one great Producer and nice Man.
8:40 - the B80 Mothership is by far the best sounding AD/DC & clock I've ever used. It looks like he had 16 ins, though - not 24.
Homeboy showed up wearing a tank top… what a gangster!
Thank you so much for this tour. So awesome!!
Awesome Video , Studio and a hospitable host!
Wish Zdar was still here! ❤
VERY NICE VIDEO AND STUDIO TOUR DAVID ! was there a mic collection in the studio ?
😂 “it’s a nightmare,.. but I love it”……This how most men feel about their wives 😂😂
Quality video, always wanted to see something like this. Thanx
This is all so important if you appreciate what it means to the origins of music
A dream of a studio! Great studio tour! Love it.
wow that's really cool
and such a cozy recording room!
That’s a beautiful watch.
Rest in peace
this dude is the man
Woah there’s like a doorway made of pultecs
excellent filming and interview !!!!
RIP Phillipe ! Such a tragic way to go ! The Music industry lost a good dude !!!!
Mixbus Tv is the Shit for real love this channel dude. This was an amazing studio
Amazing stuff very inspiring
What a great guy, would love work in this studio one day!

What’s the name of the the pultec unit that is a replica?
Is this heaven?
Can anyone explain to me how would you tweak all this gear while constantly changing your location? I mean is it ok speaking about the stereo field, monitors field, etc.?
wow what a great studio
very nice video
