This guy has made some great tracks over the years. He describes his set up that he is using nowl. Read the comments about complaining about how he hasn't taught about music. Just fuckoff. You don't understand what music is. This guy is showing his setup. It is up to you to make the music

Some of you guys are very critical but listen to his body of work!

fantastic setup and video . thumbs up futuremusic for getting someone like kirk.

amazing information

He's made some very nice tracks over the years. Stuff he did in the early 90s I like best. No doubt his kit then was nothing compared to now... yet hr made some fantastic records.

Wow. I give this guy respect, he knows his electronics. Just seems like such a massive process to get to basic sounds. I've been in this business for years, but i feel like a novice watching him.  I make music with cubase, play guitar, and use mainly software synths and one korg m3. Not much hard line patching. Maybe I'm missing out, I'm sure this guy is brilliant. trey

Great stuff

what kind of monitors are those?

Thank you for the tutorial . 😀👍👍👍

Hey Kirk you can streamline your whole process if you invest in an analog summing mixer and good converters and mix in ableton. It will sound much better then ITB ableton mixes and just as good as logic. It will also give you easy access to inserting outboard dynamics as well. high end bus compressor etc. Its not a cheap route but it will improve your workflow having to use mulitple DAWs. Cheers. I like the way you setup your modular into three seperate tasks. Cool way to think about it.

very neat setup!

i love the way he made his kick drum simple yet very unique. there are soo many samples out there and layering kicks w/ an effect or EQ can really change the sound dramatically!!

Hello operator can you connect me to Mars lol....

what was the name of the module he was talking about the was all the way to the right, that you don't need a laptop if you wanted?

great tut!

each daw has its own playback engine which produces a different quality of sound for eg. the older versions of say fl studio sounds horrible, but if u export that same beat to say pro tools u will hear a noticeable difference.

10:51 ΛΟΓΟΣ -ΣΤΟΙΧΕΙΑ... what kind of synth is this?? who is makenoise?

2:40 positronic transient gates FTW!

Exactly, hardware just like vinyl will always produce a different sound.

i want that analogue hardware!! :D

I get your point, but Having Stuff that you make music with makes you more creative and its just a different feeling of producing

14:12 quality sound is better in Logic?! How on earth there is a difference between Daws? Has Anybody have the answer please ?

I felt asleep by 07.00.

Judging by the sound he's making I'm not doing to bad :D

There's no difference if you just play back a dry sample for example . But you have difference in the rootings ( for example you have a little latency if you root/ send tracks to auxes in ableton which is really annoying for me) and you have difference in the quality in the effects/plugins ). That's all i know.

In the studio with Madeon, maybe? :D

i do .

Must have been an electrical engineer turned producer!!!! LOL Big up respect all the same though.

they really need to record the real computers output so we can cactually hear what is really happening.

watch the documentary ` i dream of wires` and re-check yourself what you wrote before...NO disrespect ,thought

I really wanted to press shift so he could drag the kick to the one marker rather than re warping.

We need a in the studio with M83

he don't need a maschine for four kick actually)

Expect*

In the studio with ferry Corsten?

Bizarre. Clearly the guy has a lot of technical knowledge, and some very expensive hardware/software but the music seems almost irrelevant to the process.

Mayer HD1 ... Amazing but expensive

I too feel really inferior to guys like this. It's not that I don't understand any of it (cuz some of what he was talking about was basic synthesis) but building kit synths is way beyond anything I've learned over the years. (Didn't get on with Reaktor for precisely this reason). The only thing I will dis him a bit on is, if all his tunes are in the same vain as the one played in this vid, then .... they're a tad forgettable. My brain leans more towards hooks.

generally i reckon hardware is better

NO disrespect but we are in 2013, all thoses oscillators are nice for a museum but, all i need is a mac , some speakers, a midi keyboard, daw, and some plugins .The music should also be in a museum

you cant make food in the PC

this is like Old Testament for me..sorry..its like getting back in Flinthstones..Yes, this is the basics, but who listen this? Maybe i'm wrong..

People still buy hardware? You can make anything on the PC...

People still buy hardware? You can make anything on the iPad...

wat

ha ... ahahahahahahahhah

No disrespect but with the gear he has, I'ed something better ,

jesus who cares about all your gadgets, talk about music
