"a lot of thinking" ... it's masses of brain space, head scratching and planning to put things together. The space looks great, congrats on getting so far.
Thanks for sharing your process! Ive been building my home studio for about 2 years now and it's a never ending lesson in trouble shooting and fine tuning and routing possibilities. There is def a mad scientist/alchemist element to this lifstyle haha..
Pardon my question, but what was the reason behind contemplating SSL Big 6? You already have Model 1, and Big 6 is - well just that, 6 channels, and you have way more hardware than that, even if you don't use it all in a single session. Was your idea to possibly bulk these two into one "hybrid mixer" ? ZEL is what, 20x Big 6 in price, so its not like it was either - or:) Anyway, happy to see you happy in your own studio, I know the feeling when all the hard work pays off and all machines are connected and functional, everything is in sync and connected and you can focus on creativity. This is probably the biggest killer of the creative process - you get the idea, then you start connecting stuff, something doesnt work, you troubleshoot technical stuff until it all works, just to completely get out of the creative zone. Happy Easter and all the best to you, and all watching/reading this.
I was interested in the workflow it offer, having an integrated interface. I had the "small" ssl and liked the sound a lot. Obviously atm I have even more than I need so im super happy!
I was working on my studio this morning, nowhere near your level but it got me thinking about the reason I always work in 120 bpm in lieu of hard synching. It's so simple to do the math, I can be playing 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 90 bpms on different devices and they will all line up in a short number of repetitions. One of my favorite ways to structure a performance. One piece of what some will call crazy advice that I just figured out but as of yet never heard anyone else mention: Get an earthing mat or similar personal grounding system. Requires playing in socks, barefoot or with shoes that have no rubber parts in the sole. I would not do this with devices like the Pulsar 23 or Microfreak due to the conductive touch controls or if you have a poorly grounded instrument, obviously, but otherwise I've found that it's effects on my health have made it possible for me to start playing and working again after years of having no motivation to do anything and signficant health challenges. I was skeptical but the research was persuasive enough for me to try it and the results are undeniable... my stamina for creative work with electronics has blossomed in a matter of days. I do a more intense grounding barefoot in the soil, outdoors for a few minutes several times a day as well, especially before bed. This has profoundly improved my sleep and quality of calm energy throughout the day. Hope this helps or at least plants a seed. Cheers!
@@RapidFlow_Shop As I understand it, there is a host of physiological issues that are caused by a body being disconnected from ground, due to the same kind of noise you see in an ungrounded electrical system only far worse because it's a biological system with many more subsystems working together. Blood motility is an overarching dynamic and this leads to systemic inflammation which is the root of all disease. There has been a number of films put out in recent years on the topic. I'd refer to Clint Ober who has done the most work on this. Most notable for me is the ability to think clearly and focus on work without any kind of emotional interference as well as a substantial improvement in physical comfort, strength and endurance.
@@Skiddoo42 that sounds really interesting and I can believe it has an impact. We all.know how we feel when we re barefoot mostly on holidays 😊 do you have a link to such a mat? No idea what to look for
Congratulations. WIth all that beatifull gear you have a privilege to, for example, use pretty expensive Perkons generally just for kicks when you need it. So much hands-on timbres. The main thing is to understand that it is not necessary to use everything that is and treat the tools as paints in the palette. There are times when an artist does not use any of the colors for a long time and that's okay.
Your videos are always so aesthetic and clean, everything is so wonderfully coordinated, fine grading...everything is consistent...and then...then suddenly we can see your cup and this cup looks from the inside as if it hasn't been washed off since 1993 😂 Don't get annoyed, I'm just kidding. The video is still good as always. 🧡
GraZie 🎉. You gave me such a light . And I may need to change the connection flow :) Daw / digitakt to the other midi devices . For now I was using Daw / squarp pyramid to the other midi devices whjch feels never accurate . Thank you again
Great run through the new setup! I got curious though, is the clock sync working flawlessly with the AR/Syntakt as master clocks and using Overbridge to clock Ableton? It's been a while since I tried syncing hardware and the DAW via USB and last time I got some pretty noticeable drift during longer sessions (like when recording a jam for 1-2 hours). I'm about to receive a Midronome from their Kickstarter (the E-RM Multiclock was way out of budget for my needs) to try syncing my DAW using audio but if using Elektron's master clock through USB works I might not even need it.
You have an amazing studio! Are you looking into using a midi interface to cutdown on the latency? I use the MMRC midi interface and it is awesome when it comes to midi routing. I totally agree about getting more stuff. I feel like it just distracts you from making music.
I have the motu midi interface which I might implement soon, but I am not sending lot of midi stuff from the daw to the synths, so I felt it was overkill for now!
I wish we weren’t so far away. I’m in the States, but I build professional/studio quality custom sound treatment panels. I love your content, but even with a great deal, I think the shipping would actually cost both of our valuable right arms, haha. Keep up the good work and beautiful studio space, mio amico! Tango amore e musica per sempre!
@@OoraMusic of course, my friend. Maybe one day you’ll end up back in the states and I can help you deck out your next studio with custom racks and sound treatment, because a hardworking musician should be allowed all the studios he wants! Much love!
How you finding the fusion? I just got one recently and think it sounds great on my main outs. I’ve also got the bus+ on the inserts which is pretty sweet for gluing it together. More outboard would be a great way to circumvent your synth ban… Just sayin. ;)
very sick! nice how you send the clock to the elektrons via overbridge and actually 'thru' that clock to the rest. But what if you want to sequence e.g. the vermona via ableton midi region? can you do that with this setup? or does every synth have to sequence itself (or by one of the elektrons)
Man.. Super nice work! Love the selection of Synths and the setup. One question: How do you sequence/record midi notes? All through your oxi, Octa track, etc? Do I get it right, that you only record Audio and thats how you put your song together?
I only record audio. I tried going to the midi way but is too complicated for me and I dont need to keep midi data. Yes, it would be better, but too much to deal with.
Loves a studio tour, loves my own dream set up so I get it.. but not saying this to be unkind, just my view. Way too much chatter for me on this, loads of talking, like 12 mins ha. The actual tour and gear is great tho. Wish ya well buddy 👊

thanks my friend
Grateful for your channel. Hard work is paying off. Big dreams in motion:)
Thanks I am grateful for you watching my videos
Great studio, all the best!
thanks!
Solid workflow. Thanks for the tour. And big respect for the 96 point patchbays. I know that was no fun to wire up but definitely pays off.
Thanks for the walkaround. Good to see your studio isn't overtaken by the modular stuff
no way!! :)
I am happy for you buddy! Learned so much on your channel. Your passion for it is so inspiring and motivating.
Thanks Maximilian, I am here thanks to people like you!

What a beautiful & powerful Studio Oora. Congrats!! Now its Time to Clear & Reset your Brain to make fantastic Music 👍
That's the plan!

What s the function of the earthing mat?

Very nice, Oora! Beautiful setup!
Thank you very much!
Looks great.... nice AM1 desk, UDO Super6, Rytm, Octatrack = envious!
:)
Excellent brother. Keep creating!
thanks!
Congrats on bringing structure in your studiolife ⚡️
thanks mate. Yours will always be the most beautiful tho!!
"I don't know why I do this highh pitched thing..." Love it! Self awareness on 100 ;)
ahaha, man I really dont know why I am going this way :D
Thanks for sharing your setup - interesting and inspiring! 🤔😉👋
Thanks for watching!

that is the idea yes. I selected only the thing that can give me different nuances and use them only if needed.
BRAVO!!! ❤🎉
thanks!

Don't get annoyed, I'm just kidding. The video is still good as always. 🧡
ahhahaahahha YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT! I just refill with coffee everyday and never washed it. Grooooooosssssss
@@OoraMusic Honestly, I thought it was Synth Elbow Grease (tm). Nothing worse than crusty synth elbows ;)
the four gates of speech...check it out
Beautiful studio and super informative video, congrats Oora on the completion (although we all know studios are never finished ;)) !
Never ending , I know :)
i've just set up in NYC and its unreal to have so much at the ready
Lived there for 10 years, definitely harder to get a sustainable space. Ny is still my favorite city and wish they had more consideration for artists.
@@OoraMusic lol who's they?
I'm just about to start tidying up all my cables so this would be useful 😅
Good luck!
@@OoraMusic Thanks mate!! You also inspired me to build my own desk!
That udo super 6 will always be the sexiest synth in the studio
I am loving it :P)
How do you protect the gear from dust? Congratulations for your studio arrangement, and thank you for sharing so many details!
luckily not lot of dust here. in Italy it was a real big issue, had to clean every day.
@@OoraMusic That's so nice, to not need to clean. What is the name of the city without dust? 😁
GraZie 🎉. You gave me such a light . And I may need to change the connection flow :)
Daw / digitakt to the other midi devices .
For now I was using Daw / squarp pyramid to the other midi devices whjch feels never accurate .
Thank you again
Happy this was helpful!
Great setup! ❤️💥🚀🎶
Thank you 🙌

cool studio man
thanks!
Another good approach is to use ADAT - just one optical cable from one wall to another transmitting up to 8 channels at 48khz, 24 bit
I actually thought about that!maybe in the future
Congrats on getting it all together! Why not use a midi hub for all the midi thrus? Seems less chance of failure and potential slight midi delays
I have the motu midi interface, but at the moment I prefer the simplicity of this setup. Maybe I will use it in the future.
Great run through the new setup! I got curious though, is the clock sync working flawlessly with the AR/Syntakt as master clocks and using Overbridge to clock Ableton?
It's been a while since I tried syncing hardware and the DAW via USB and last time I got some pretty noticeable drift during longer sessions (like when recording a jam for 1-2 hours).

so far so good. I was considering the ERM too, but they went out of business!
Buen video,precioso studio

I like it a lot on the master! yeah maybe I should dig a little more in that direction too
Nice studio. Do you have the reference of your rack stand?
those are jasper stands
@@OoraMusic sorry the rack stand with the patchbay?
great studio. where can we listen to your magical music? any discogs link or bandcamp?
yes, oora.bandcamp.com
Quality setup....maybe a Roland System 8 , so you can load the plug outs.
PeaceFromOZ😊
That would be cool
Could you do a mult (half normal) on your patchbay to get your effects into the DAW and the FX Rtn on the mixer?
it is basically what I am doing! works fine!
Hi Oora! What tube lights are you using in your studio? They look awesome
those are astera lights!
@@OoraMusic Thanks!
Have you any acoustic problems with the room?
Plenty. I am waiting for the panels to arrive!
muy inspirador
thanks!

Thanks for the video. Are you using the Syntakt or the Rytm as your DAC? I missed that.
no for that I have a antelope Orion 32+
very sick! nice how you send the clock to the elektrons via overbridge and actually 'thru' that clock to the rest. But what if you want to sequence e.g. the vermona via ableton midi region? can you do that with this setup? or does every synth have to sequence itself (or by one of the elektrons)
I can send the midi from Ableton through the electrons as well!
@@OoraMusic awesome, via overbridge?
No delay with all that MIDI thru?
Also
Buona Pasqua in Italia!
grazie! there is a bit of latency but all is consistent and easy to move in the daw
Man.. Super nice work! Love the selection of Synths and the setup.
One question:
How do you sequence/record midi notes?
All through your oxi, Octa track, etc?
Do I get it right, that you only record Audio and thats how you put your song together?
I only record audio. I tried going to the midi way but is too complicated for me and I dont need to keep midi data. Yes, it would be better, but too much to deal with.
@@OoraMusic Thx for the reply!
Great space! Curious - did Perfect Circuit ever announce a winner of the Torso T1? I know the contest is over.
Yes I pin the comment of the winner on that video!
@@OoraMusic OK... I believe you... but I can't find it. Maybe they deleted their comment. :)
Whats the Brand of your Mixer ?
It's a Zahl AM1
zahl am1!
Loves a studio tour, loves my own dream set up so I get it.. but not saying this to be unkind, just my view. Way too much chatter for me on this, loads of talking, like 12 mins ha. The actual tour and gear is great tho. Wish ya well buddy 👊
Fair enough :D
no new synthesizer for a year, will you survive as a UA-camr? 😅 - great thoughts, I'm trying the same without new gear
that is a real question.. might be hard to stay afloat!
What happened to the culture vulture?
Exchanged it with the eventide h3000
!
13:42 these things creep up on us mate
ahahah
“Final iteration” & “Studio”. Non-sequitur!
ahahaha
Congrats, But… the day you’ll invest in acoustic treatment, your life will change ;)
That was my first thought as well. That room is very reflective.
hopefully that is coming in April!
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing, your studio is beautiful.
Thank you very much!
