Prolly why he owns them, eh?

Especially the monosynths! All favourites 😁

But you can see why, I think I agree with him, everyone is my favourite too.

Actually, literally, all his favourites

Your forgot to include his most favorite qualifier: incredible.

How does He clean and dust around all that? Took Me 40 minutes to clean one keyboard and could not get it 100% clean.

@@HOLLASOUNDS I would imagine that he has dust filters in his AC and a cleaner.

@@ruk2023-- Dust filter stops dust landing everywhere?

one of the greatest tracks ever

Top 10 for sure

His wife was filming - he mentioned it nearly at the end. And yes, I wish she would've been more focused towards the gear he was pointing to.

I have a large synth collection. Using 4x MOTU midi xpress XT units, 64 channels of audio io via 2x apogee symphony units, and APC power conditioners. Not a difficult problem to solve at all. Just a costly problem to solve.

Same. Tried switching daw but at this point I really don't see the need to learn a whole system from scratch once again. And even in the daw I limit the amount of plugins but rather learn the few that I use really well. But hey, just slap a preposterous amount of side chain on every channel and you're done. Apparently.

He most certainly has a fullt time tech to help keep everything running smoothly. That's just too much work for someone as busy as Brian.

I think what I need is a good midi compatible hardware synth, some african and middle eastern drums, an interface and a good semi-acoustic geetar

usualy in big studio, there is engeneer, Technician, a sound Designer, musician, its a team, i talk for big production of music over 1 millions budget

Yeah, I seriously doubt he really needs all of those synths. It's more of a collection, whether he'd admit that or not. He might fire up a vintage synth every so often for a type of sound that it's good at making, or just for the fun of it, but there is little that the vast majority of them could do that his modular synths couldn't (and then some), which is why he usually uses those. That's still an awfully nice and LARGE collection to have, though--one of the largest private collections I have ever seen. Given that, I'm kind of surprised that there isn't an EMS Synthi in there somewhere. If the goal is to be able to produce just about any kind of sound, then you'll probably want one of those in your arsenal. There are some others I can think of, but they're even harder to find.

It's odd these pro musicians always seem to have terrible recorded videos, not sure what that's about other then there not youtubers.

He did say first time 😂

yes, that would be nice, but some of us don't have the space or the money

@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied 🤗

yea ever cool dream synth out there whats cool is you can play them alot of collectors cant

Pretty sure this is years old.

There is a K5000 though.

If you ever meet him. Slap his hand hard and tell him to chill a bit with all the side chaining. It's so much overkill it's unbearable and doesn't pay tribute to all these beautiful synths, on the contrary. Let the synths do the talking don't you agree? Thanks in advance.

whats the one he mentions right after he says ds8? a 4 op fm korg with analog bbd? f8 or something?

@@christdolphin69 it sounds like he's saying "F4", but not sure why. He probably just stumbled speaking trying to get through all the synths in a hurry. I have a demo of the Korg DS-8 on my channel, but not that exact one that I sold to BT.

the model d is hidden in the shadows below the jupiter 8

You're right, there are not one but *two* Moogs: a vintage Midimini conversion in a rack at 9:34 and a new (reissued) Minimoog Model D at the bottom that isn't shown well but mentioned at 14:31.

Obviously these are just show pieces. No ones patching synths on a step stool, breaking their neck and fatiguing their arms with old LCDs you can't see in the blue underglow of the rope lighting and no one is unplugging and dismounting these to do so. It's just a museum, built on nostalgia and powering a brand. Most his time now is spent as a salesman of software or hyping NFTs.

@@Winter-zv1dv you obviously haven't listened to the new records then

@@Winter-zv1dvNo one meaning you. Come on bro get out of your bubble. Just say he has opinions on NFT's you don't like. Lol

@@Winter-zv1dv I figure he does make use of his extensive synth collection on occasion, but like BT said himself, most of the work he does with synths is with his ARP 2600, Roland System 100M, Obeheim SEM, and Eurorack system, plus a few other synths he has near his mixing console, like the Midimini (rack-mounted vintage Minimoog Model D board retrofitted with MIDI) and Yamaha DX7. The rest are only powered on individually (actually by section) when he decides to use them. So yes, for the most part, this is a museum--a really cool environment with which to surround the working part of his studio.

Klaus was in the early TD.

It was his wife filming. He said that at the end if the video

Good point. All this gear is amazing and would be fun to play, but honestly. The right person could produce the same music with a daw, controller, arturia v collection and some other vst. This is impressive though if one has the money.

Yeah, I hope he didn't take out a home equity line of credit to buy all of this stuff! He's been collecting for many years, though, so he probably got most of this stuff while it was still relatively affordable, and it has only appreciated tremendously in value, so look at this as a smart financial investment rather than a frivolous (because who really *needs* all of these synths?) expenditure.

@@haro82 Like BT said himself, he mostly uses a handful of modular systems for his work. The vast majority of the synths in his studio aren't even powered on unless he decides he wants to use them, and in practical terms, there are few sounds they could make that his modulars couldn't. Now, his Eurorack system is quite impressive, but looking at the vintage modulars that he said he uses the most, there is only an ARP 2600 (legendary for good reasons, but still not the most powerful), a small Roland System 100M (just one case is pretty small for a 100M), and a small Oberheim SEM-based system (they can get a lot bigger than this!). These are great, but I'm just saying the main synths he uses, as a set, aren't exactly mind-blowing, especially given the sheer scale of his studio collection as a whole. Put it this way: I've seen significantly smaller professional home studios that pack more variety and raw synth power than this one. One example is Vince Clarke's studio. As impressive as it is in terms of scale to people like us, it seems small and limited compared to BT's at first glance, but what matters, in practical terms, is precisely what he's got. In addition to the basics (e.g. 2xMinimoog Model D, Juno-60, Juno-106, Jupiter-8, Pro-One, Prophet-5, JP-8000, et al), Vince has 2xARP 2600, an ARP 2500 (more of a beast than its already large size would suggest due to its switch-matrix system), a large Roland System 100M in six cases, a towering Roland System 700 (sounds different and much "fatter" than the 100M), an EMS VCS 3 Synthi (bigger than it looks with its pin-matrix, and very unique sounding), a Serge Modular (another unique-sounding synth), an E-mu Modular (analog, not an Emulator sampler), a large SEM-based system, a PolyFusion Modular, a Korg PS-3300 (unique and very powerful semi-modular synth), a Synton Syrinx, an Oxford OSCar (yet *another* unique-sounding synth!), and an RSF Kobol (small keyboard synth with morphing waveforms for, you guessed it, a unique sound). He also has a small but useful Eurorack modular system (Doepfer A-100 series), just to provide even more variety. That's just off the top of my head. He has "only" like maybe 50 or so synths, total, it looks like, but his is an extremely eclectic collection that can be used to produce just about any sound imaginable. Of course, what really matters is what one does with what they have, and the Arturia V collection for like $300 on sale should realistically be more than anyone really needs, in terms of synths. Both of these guys' synth collections are overkill, but they sure are neat to admire. My point is not to "measure dicks" in one way or another, but it's interesting to see how these collections differ in focus.

Looks like a second hand recording off of a screen.
