I cannot stress how great these videos are, I absolutely love them. As a musician, not only do these videos make me feel warm inside they also greatly inspire me to continue making music. Thank you.
It seems to be so hard to find things about him. I've always wanted to know his thought process and his workflow, something like an against the clock, but the best thing I can find is the interview with seangran (which was still amazing). I idolize this man, I won't die peacefully if I never get to see or meet him, just to thank him for everything he's inadvertently given me and all of us.
Never heard of this man but his workflow definitely resonates with me. "unscrambling scrambled eggs" is a good way to put it. Working destructively is refreshing when "undo" can become a real crutch for working creatively. I like to think of it as taking a painterly approach to working. Just getting a bunch of stuff down and dealing with it. Great vid! Will definitely be checking out more of Stuart's work.
Thank you guys so much for this series. I’ve really enjoyed hearing about other artists process and also hearing about similar struggles or thoughts… found some new musix too!
Check out Leif's Loom Dream and Taraxacum albums. I mixed the first in with Amnioverse and haven't stopped listening to it since. Such a dreamy blast of sample and electronica bliss. Two of my favs from 2019.
One more useful video ! Nice man. Very inspiring and very useful talk. I really enjoy when people giving priceless advices. Thank you telecom beats team ! Nice job. Keep it going.
I only use hardware because it simply inspires me and software synths really don‘t. I got the whole Cubase 10 stuff and do never use it, instead I gravitate towards the server rack with all the knobs in it. 100% agree with you. And what a complex, movie score like sound.
He has a hardware based workflow, which i also like using when i can, as it's all about WYSIWYG most of the time. Getting into heavy duty menu diving too much, can take away from the instantaneous/ spontaneous nature of creativity. The only thing I'm curious about, is his mixing desk /audio interface scenario; are all inputs live all the time, or.. ? Thank you for uploading.
S R DHAIN I do not know but I believe he use direct outs of the mixing desk going into Apollo soundcards - he has 2 big ones and 1 small. I do the same thing it is very useful and linear setup. So whatever I do on the mixing desks I have direct out to the Mac and I can record multitrack easily. So I can monitor source and I can monitor daw as well.
@@MuslimShortanov thank you for answering. Im curious, as when using an analog desk, you've only got a stereo main out, so he's either submixing pre audio interface ( along with eq), or ..? Only some of the newer desks allow all channels to go out via usb seperately, and even then you don't always get your e.q. and anything else added on (e.g. built in fx on the desk or insert busses) going to your DAW.
No I was wrong. It is Yamaha mixer without direct outs. So I actually do not know what is the process. Maybe he record track after track and when he monitor the ableton he is adding other track below. One by one. This process is a little longer and takes time but it is interesting way to approach good results because all the time you use the summing power of the mixer and its mix bus. I used to do that, and sometimes it is a good way also. Because I made a lot of tests and I found that when I take master bus from the mixer it is a magic glue makes a parts sounding better together than separate mixing in a box.
Lovely take on music! I thought it would be stupid to mix on headphones, I always do this for the same reason. Only think menu diving is a bless with the elektrons, you can maximize it beyond the imaginable. Couldn't make music without them. But everyone has his/her cup of tea ofcorse
I'm very curious as to why he has 3 UAD audio interfaces... How are you able to use all of them? What use do they have? How are they connected? Want to test the UAD plugins myself badly so this setup has got me wondering.
I dont know anything about this Interface, but propably they are connected via adat+world clock. 1 unit serves as the master, the rest as slaves. The audio driver sees 1 interface+a bunch of adat ins and outs.
Around 7:40 he explains that he is using UAD plugins as an effects send from his desk. The UAD interfaces have DSP processors that will run the effects so that his main computer's CPU doesn't have to. If he has lots of sends from his desk then he will also need lots of I/O. So the reason he has 3 interfaces is for more DSP power and more physical jacks to run tons of UAD effects.
Why do these only last 7 mins? Like aren’t there more questions we can submit for them to answer during the recording process? Jesus you just waste money
Lapalux is one of the best these days. Telekom, tech talk with Jacques Greene
Yes please!!! Jacques Greene is a beast!

Thank you for the nice words 😊
Agreed! Love those videos
@@ElectronicBeatsTV Thanks a lot for the interview! Next time please add captions for international viewers, it would help a lot.
Geezus..his music is top.. True forward thinking music. Futurism has been lost in modern dance music glad to see him pushing the sound.
dubprocesslbc agree !
I've loved this guys music for about 10 years and never once seen or heard him! Which is pretty cool.
After years I keep coming back to watch this clip. 🙏
Lapalux was the artist that got me into producing electronic music
you published any? I'd be down to hear it
Amazing artist
This guy really dives into and harnesses his free flowing musical intellect. Dam music is extraordinarily unique and non conforming.
As someone that's been trying to wrap my head around Lapalux's process for years, this is like Christmas coming early for me.
👍🏻
Exactly

Stuart I love you bro.... you don’t realize how much you have inspired me.
6:38 “I’ve got neighbours upstairs, downstairs...” - lucky bastards!!

God bless this man
Thank you for turning me on to this artist and his workflow. Very inspiring!
Literally been waiting years for this.
Thanks 🙏 truly inspiring individual
Mad genius I'm in love with his sound design and the music he creates is extremely soulful. 💖
ABOVE/BETWEEN/BELOW is one if the best ambient recordings ever!
So good. New album blows my mind honestly
Contemporary genius. For real
Ive discovered lapalux Lustmore 2017 while going to the UK. Best travel music to relax and see new stuff, godspeed man
Thank you guys so much for this series. I’ve really enjoyed hearing about other artists process and also hearing about similar struggles or thoughts… found some new musix too!
this guy is my musical discovery of the year, no shit

Nice, I always happy to see people who take fun from using hardware instead of purely in-the-box production
One more useful video ! Nice man. Very inspiring and very useful talk. I really enjoy when people giving priceless advices. Thank you telecom beats team ! Nice job. Keep it going.
Yeah super good selection of artist. Looking forward to a floating points episode too :)

Super interesting. Would love to see this with Nico Jaar, Forest Swords, Andy Stott...
Excellent names there.
Andy stott yes!!
Great to see artists speak on their craft
Nice video and nice talk. Lapalux is great. Looking forward to this album.
One of my favourites so far
Love this series ❤️ Thank you Electronic Beats.
Awesome guy, and great insights in his workflow!
to be able to translate into words
amazing guy, amazing interview ...one of the best tech talks so far !!!
this dude is a beast
Such an amazing Artist.
legend.. where are u
we need more lapalux
Some nice little nuggets of wisdom here from Lapalux and a top setup! Thanks
Amazing and to the point. Thank you for this inspiring video. Can't wait for the new album

Great. This is a proper insight into this particular producer's workflow. Nicely done.

Sure !
great artist great episode ! thanks :)
Going to try Ambeo right away. Great footage!
Awesome video. Thanks for this!
Enjoyed this video Thanks
Thank you very much. Very relatable.
Very nice and handsome guy and very good process approach of deducting. I will defenetly try. It is something I am missing in my process.
nice vid! love his tunes
Legend fam ✨
Imagine being LAPALUX's neighbor 😩
I admire that type of workflow.
Sounds great. Nice one.
This is brilliant!
(Thank you ) x
Lovely stuff
still makin good stuff m8
Very cool guy and process.
What’s the Yamaha mixer he’s using??
Yamaha MG20XU. We use a couple of their smaller ones in our band and they work great!
Looks like a Yamaha MG16XU
Some serious gear there. I spot a distressor. Or was it a plugin?
yes, its a plugin.
Love the whole setup and the room. Seems like a relaxed guy, and the music's pretty good.
Nice Dude! How does he record all the ext stuff? With the MG XU and the Apollos separately or together, i dont know, anyone?;)
🌸Inspiring🌸
6:59 “you cant trust this environment”
is this a released track? super chill
@@danielford1209 the entire video is playing music of his latest Album, Amnioverse. The song played is one of my favourites, Thin Air
@@JamilBousquet ah thanks, havent listened to amnioverse that much yet
what´s the track id of the sound which is in the vid played from 1:41 till 2:30 ???
Last track off Amnioverse, ESC
TELEKOM PLEASE GIVE US A TRACKLIST

I'm very curious as to why he has 3 UAD audio interfaces... How are you able to use all of them? What use do they have? How are they connected? Want to test the UAD plugins myself badly so this setup has got me wondering.
I dont know anything about this Interface, but propably they are connected via adat+world clock. 1 unit serves as the master, the rest as slaves. The audio driver sees 1 interface+a bunch of adat ins and outs.
seems like its lightpipe or yeah adat
Word clock.
They are all connected via Thunderbolt. In the UAD Console software you can cascade multiple interfaces for more inputs/outputs and more DSP.
Around 7:40 he explains that he is using UAD plugins as an effects send from his desk. The UAD interfaces have DSP processors that will run the effects so that his main computer's CPU doesn't have to. If he has lots of sends from his desk then he will also need lots of I/O. So the reason he has 3 interfaces is for more DSP power and more physical jacks to run tons of UAD effects.
what headphones is he using?
What's the song around 4:30? 🙌
Lapalux - 'Earth'
What headphones are those?
S-Logic, not sure about the model
Get Flying Lotus on this
Hes just woken up outta the matrix
I like how he has a metal bottleneck for slide guitar next to his pedals. Wonder what he does with it!
Probably used it occasionally with that electric guitar that is in the background
anyone know what kind of markings he put on his Prophet 6 keys?
Chris Simon
Blue, red, yellow and green tape I think....
Probably markings for certain scales and chords. However, it could be mappings for certain presets. Who knows?
probably chords
@@trevchumby hahaha
anybody know the song around 6 minutes?
Lapalux - Earth
"dive into accidental stuff"
Waohh
what is that AMBEO binaural thing?
en-us.sennheiser.com/ambeo-orbit
Anybody know what tape loop machine that is?
WEM Copicat
how much does that sennheiser binaural stuff cost??
It's for free! :)
@@Eric-ii5uv ...but it sucks. Find their video, and close your eyes from the start. You'll never know front from back, or up from down.
trust the environment… complicated saying
what do prophet keyboard stickers mean ??
Sample triggers maybe?
Sounds like he's trying to cover Ross from Friends - RATS with that first beat he's working on
No way
Ross from Friends is like Lapalux's little brother...
thats like comparing a sunday league footballer to Pele
@@BillSkinton bit harsh, more like a league 2 player to Pele
this was sick but bro should dust more often
What do you mean?
His music reminds me of Tron
daft punk??
why so serious)
Why do these only last 7 mins? Like aren’t there more questions we can submit for them to answer during the recording process? Jesus you just waste money
lol be grateful you got at least this
dude shut up. be grateful you have youtube. many years ago, we didn’t have sh*t. only magazines or if you knew someone w gear
Be grateful
He’s about 12 wires short from sounding good.
you are. lapalux is a musical genius
Silly talk. Don't do that again.
Stuart French I’m sorry, you’re right. I should apologize for what I said, I was wrong. He’s only 11 wires short. My bad.
Music is subjective. I like Merzbow and Asmus Tietchens.
