Steffi - In The Studio

Steffi shows us her slick studio full of unusual vintage gear.
Dutch techno icon Steffi made her massive Against The Clock session look easy, effortlessly gliding from synth to synth in her compact studio to create a tightly-wound electro track in just 10 minutes.
After the time was up, the Ostgut Ton regular and Panorama Bar resident talked us through what she did and how she did it, giving us a guided tour of her enviable gear collection at the same time.
Steffi’s got all the classics you’d expect in her studio - a TR-808 drum machine, a Minimoog for basslines - but also a few unusual items, like the Waldorf synth she uses for string sounds and a Sequentix Cirklon sequencer. Check it out above and watch her go Against The Clock.

enjoyed it even more than the related against the clock video - really interesting how she explains her process... what a great way to learn, please more of this in the future!

Really cool. Would appreciate more of these "post ATC breakdown" style videos! This episode was one of the best for me. Thanks to FACT and Steffi

@maxmikardo7460 6 жыл бұрын

Yes...whether it be in another 'sequel' episode like this or in the original video at the end, they need to show more often the track that was completed (or what of it was finished)! They should also have a webpage with all the finished tracks on, but eh thats just a suggestion *cough* FACT TV *cough*...

Really enjoying seeing such studio insights, especially right after the artist's played. Gives a great feel of how they play. Is the mixer an APB Dynasonics? if so what model? Seems the same as the one in the PVH video and also seen in Marcel Fengler and Matthew Johnson studios.

I think it's because she's sequencing the separate tracks within the Cirklon and using the DAW to record a stereo master for the purposes of ATC

Easily $100k. There are hidden costs in a studio like that. The acoustic treatment and cabling in the room could be 20k alone. Vintage analog stuff can be high. Minimoogs in good condition can be 8k.

@johnfkay8341 5 жыл бұрын

Well she did make the whole track in 10 minutes. I notice with all of the artists who take the challenge that they have lots more ideas but just never the time to implement them. I think the people that take these challenges are awesome. What they are able to achieve in that time is great. I can achieve a lot in that time but never as good as these producers.Though I'm one of those people who will labor for half an hour on just getting a bass line or hi hat part perfect. I wish I could comment on the 10 minute challenge videos but comments are disabled. I understand the reason with comments like yours. Have a bit more of an open mind to what these people achieve in a very short time. I'm sure the artists would never think of putting the tracks on their albums but the ideas they get would be invaluable to them later on. Thanks to all the artists who take part. You all nail the challenge in my opinion whether you realise it Thanks to fact magazine also. I learn so much from the videos.

lol you must define to me what is very dutch then. First she got a very light accent, and unless to be dutch, you wouldn't know if she is dutch or German,, nordic language got a very similar sonority when light. I even got US people that thought I had a German accent, and I'm French. ;D
