During your ending, my dog started barking like crazy! Thank you for the visit.

It's crazy how fast this channel is growing. I remember stumbling on your videos and thinking "why do these have so little views? It's amazing content!", but now you're at 250k subs and all well deserved!

Yeah, definitely do NOT make videos about modular because you will make me go bankrupt. ❤ thanks for the tour. I'm from Ghent and we just bought a new place where I'll be able to install a proper studio space so your hint about VDB Acoustics is noted. Thanks a lot for showing us around!

I'm all for the more "hardware oriented video" one day! Cool studio. The sound treatement is quiet impressive.

Thanks for the tour!

0:20: Only passionate people would understand... . Keep up the good work!

YAY!!! This is awesome!! Thanks Oscar.

have been following you for a while now. awesome dude!

Oh yes! would love some modular! Don't worry about telling a story, would just be great to see your opinion, process and results :D

Clarity, a forté for you, is always going to be something I struggle with because I have an untidy mind and am interested in too many things at the same time. It's good to see your studio but you are such a master in Ableton and associated software, you make such great stuff in that minimal computer environment, I was really surprised by the external gear. I understand the psychology behind that, even the messy stuff (Modular? Not for me, thanks) as a break out from the claustrophobia of the virtual world and the room you work in. Two things to take away for me: The power switch thing. Gotta have that. Gotta have that by the door👍 I seriously need to concentrate on getting fluent in either Ableton or Maschine and stop the gear acquisition, at least for a while, struggling with how to manage technical stuff I forgot and get on with making music. Thank you.

So happy to see you use DFAM‼️, please let us hear some cool stuffs later with DFAM and your talents👍😁

Super cool

Dude ... this ending :D

I like the brick wall! :-D

Cool stuff! thanks for sharing

Nice stuffs!

Oh man, I needed to laugh (tough day at work), thanks for the finale 😂. It's looking really neat! I also have an M1 and I love it to bits :). Oh, and I can say that you're guilty of making me fall in love with creating industrial techno! Your course has shown me the path. Alles goed, Oscar!

love the modular! Arturia has been in my life since the firstkeystep

very nice studio Oscar, congratulations!! :D

Oscar much love from Italy. You're a special teacher

Thanks for this video - it was great to see your creative space!

Always love the content here. It's so high quality and chill.

Cool video bro. Very neat setup you got there!

Good use of space mate 🔥 just acoustically challenging

Je lacht ons nerds uit at the end 😂😂😂😂❤

Thanks for the tour! Love your techno bunker:) look forward to some hardware videos!

hello ! sympathique petite visite des lieux ! La question du modulaire nécessite d'être abordée je pense. Pas tant d'un point de vue de la technique. Mais plutôt du workflow. Pourquoi s'équiper ? Un système modulaire pour travailler ? pour jouer ? pour passer du temps à apprendre les bases de la synthèse sonore ? Merci pour toutes ces vidéos régulières, ça m'aide à maintenir mon niveau d'anglais :-) hihihi

Your studio looks great Oscar 👍

I love that feeling when you press a single button and everything comes on. I have been mixing thru headphones. I recently bought my first set of monitors, the Adam audio t7v. I love them. In the future I need to buy a sub. Love the video 💯

nice collection of gear.

Interesting info!

Super nice space, I would definitely watch some modular videos from you. Regarding the Elektron, have you tried using its sequencer on the modular gear? Maybe you can find some inspiration that way and breathe new life into it

happy to see you really enjoying the microphone there at the end

awwwww rytm needs some love!

Belgium also make lots of world class Beer 🍻

Yes, please do the modular thing on your channel

Amaai, echt de max Oscar!!

Nice studio Oscar ! Congratulations ! Cool the d fam .

My equipment is in the loft bedroom that looks over the living room, not ideal at all, 3 walls and high ceilings😂 but thankful to have any space/equipment nonetheless.

You know those Dyson fans sing at night;) there is some oscillation going on in them which can be really cool, or hot depending on the mode I guess... Dyson should release a version with an LFO and VCA, or output to the modular

Very nice studio. I would love to see an extended video of the modular synth. And yet again here are my two suggestions for this week. “Shadym - Destructor” and “Kaz James ft. Ali Love - Stronger”.

YEEEEEESS MAN

Refined taste for gear you have.Belgium among other things well known as a home of Tomorrowland...I was there for both weekends,I hope that I see you at the Core stage.Maybe some old skool techno vinyl set?

yes please modular based on the DFAM, recently I bought the edge clone which is absolutely amazing for the price and thanks for your inspiring channel, Oscar !

ayee

I liked the ending

Definitely like to see some modular stuff.

Acoustic treatment would help but physics are, well physics. Can't overcome that. How long is a 28hz wave? 15 meters? That makes working in a small room like this one really hard I imagine? I think maybe 7 meters is probably minimum if you're working under 30hz but I don't know. We have a 10 meter room and that's a reasonable space to work in. Cool tour though. It's always interesting to see what people are working with in their day-to-day and in what kind of spaces etc etc. Thanks. Cheers.

Is it 2023 already? O... I must hurry up then!

Great space, thanks for the tour! How are you liking that Empress Reverb, Oscar? Using it on Synths, as well?

Been there. Sold the rytm. Never missed it! I wonder what your next drum machine will be once you are there 😅

Oooo nice. I have the Meris Polymoon too. It is SUCH a nice soundscape maker. Like some kind of spacey delay whore I also have it going into a Strymon El Capistan also in stereo for that tape delay analog destruction. Sounds amazing on guitar. I need to try them on synths & mic. BTW Loving the foundations course. Really helped unlock EDM for me.

cool

Greetings from South-Africa. We speak Afrikaans here, it is a Flemish type of Language. Could you please have a show on all your vst's you use in Ableton? (Ek weet ons almal sal daarvan hou)

This is a exact studio that i am dreaming of!I also live in a rented room for years now(def. not good for your metal health like You said)Congratulations to You for succeeding to achieve all of this!Can You maybe answer me what would be the budget for making a studio space like this?I think my room is very similar to Yours by the size, but by everything else really chaotic.Thanks for the video and keep on keepin on`my friend!Greeting from the Netherlands!

I would really love to see something about DJing in the future.

That’s it, I’ve got it: Johnny Synths! 😂

Would looove to see some modular content!

That modular synth journey sounds familiar 😂 there's a reason they call it EuroCrack

can we some more videos on the modular synths??

Hey, Oscar! really nice setup you've got going on there. I can feel the inspiration oozing out of every corner of your studio. I have one question, though, because I have been looking to get a Mac Book just for the same exact reason you've mentioned: Being able to sketch or work on a track whenever you have the laptop on you. So, which exact model are you using?

Hey Oscar, would love to hear you deconstruct/highlight some of the work of fellow Bruxelles-based artist: Melawati!

Een fijne ruimte zo.

How you did for connect all the instruments in the sound at the same momento? I can only do that using a interface with 3 outputs or more? or you have a trick?

Would really like to see you sit down with a synth, tell us why you like it and how you use it in your set up kinda thing. Sub37 😉

RME TotalMix is gold!

Man, you have so much amazing hardware... wouldn't it be time to add a hardware sound section to this channel? I (and many others surely, too!) would appreciate it. Maybe worth a consideration? :) 2:35 "another plant", is this polyphonic? And how many inputs and outputs does it have? 🤣 (edit: I removed my plant from the desk, as it was literally able to do wave tables... waves of excess water on my table, that is)

What headphones do you use? Thanks.

You are so right about keepping things connected. And elektron stuff, yeah. I have Machinedrum and I always prefer using samples most of the time. At some point I like just to hook it up and sample drums, do some processing, when I don't have a lot of inspiration to actually work on music, just "mechanical" work.

How do you send midi to your synths Oscar?

Hi, what kind/brand wall cover are you using? the white one behind the absorbents with what seems diffuser holes. Thanks!

You would laugh about my studio...😂🤣😂🤣 But most important is the outcome... I use only a laptop plus a second screen too... it's enough i think. 👍 Nice setup you have at home...👍👍👍 ❤️☮️☯️❤️☮️☯️❤️☮️☯️❤️☮️☯️❤️

THE END!

What's the music from 0:33?

Veel hardware synths en Ableton. Maar gebruik jij ook vst plugins Oscar? Zo ja ... welke?

I am your nr. 250.000 subscriber😂🎉

where'd you get the desk?

I'm using Samson patchbays where I can change normal/half normal/through on the front and use them ALL THE TIME to connect different synths to different effect pedals. I also just got an Electro Harmanix Overlord distortion stereo pedal that costs like 1/10th of the Culture Vulture. Why do you "need" such an expensive distortion module? Did you try cheaper alternatives? I spent those 2000€ on a Cranborne 500R800 lunchbox instead that's both THE perfect audio interface, a stereo summing mixer and a housing for 8x 500 modules, like pre-amps, EQ- and compression modules.

I probably shouldn't say this because it's entirely irrelevant to the topic of the video, but I cannot be the only one who thinks Oscar is hot, right? Really enjoyed the tour!

Luxemburg! You forgot Luxemburg! Luxemburg sandwiches Belgium too!

What’s the name/model of that sidecar also how much rack space is it?

what are the specs on the macbook?

What's that "Στοιχεια" module? Edit: Nevermind, just found it, latinised to Stoicheia! 🙂

"and I guess football" yeah, after one year in Belgium I've been told so many times that football is almost the only thing that all Belgians can gather around without bickering between French and Dutch speakers haha Great country tho, I'm kinda sad to leave behind the very down to earth people, the fritkots and of course the Recyclart :( Also, if you feel like it, I'd really love to see you explore some modular creative process in a more detailed way !

Brother, all things considered and having seen your spectacular view, I was moved to contact Amnesty International. They told me to stop wasting their time and advised you to consider getting a window box. 🌸 🌸 🌸 😂 ❤️

Isn`t power supply module too close to input one?

Hey Oscar, what's the name of your desk? I'm looking to buy one the same. thanks

Those claps tho 👀Desparate to be used in a track :P

Going to ADE this year?

Ever record IR's of your studio before you treated it?

I guess that room is worth 1Mio. 🤯🤯

It's true that the cube is terrible for acoustics but at least it's easy to figure out how to fix it unlike an odd shaped room with frequencies bouncing around in more unpredictable directions.

I love everything except one thing, which has triggered me every video. Your speakers are coupled to your desk. Does it not resonate the desk during playback? I'm surprised you don't decouple them!

Nice first

Gear!
