if i had all that equipment i would never make music i make demos on a roland mc303 then i can use midi to do anything kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbKIgtiH1LmdkZs.html it's better to programme one unit and then have the choice to make something a bigger production.

+1 for using velcro for cable management, I use a tape like roll of velcro so I can cut off pieces to size. Costs about 6 euro for 5 meters.

highly relevant, two things I always do, label up your PSU's and wall warts at both ends (helps a lot) also label the midi channel number on the front of the device, saves digging into the device settings to find out what you numbered it.I also use a very long USB extension cable so I can connect my Mac/DAW to a hub which is typicall connected to my main MPC One Sequencer, works a treat and is very flexible. for mixing I use X32 Rack and X-Air 18 to save space and enable loads of I/O options

I keep a master reference for MIDI channel mappings. Written on paper (in pencil, obviously) and always close by. This paper lists, for every instrument, the channel(s) on my (audio) patch bay, the physical and virtual channels on my MIDI router, and the MIDI channel of the device. So many numbers needed to properly route each instrument!

Same here on the xr18: wanted a small rack mixer that doubles as an audio interface (so it stand-alone until I power up my PC/DAW and then everything flows to the right channels). Perfect mixer for me (for this money). Racks are the best when you don't have room for a desk and still want to fit loads of gear in your bedroom 🙂

Really enjoyed this. I love listening Burg's stuff so this was a really good insight into how he does things. It's a great watch and provides food for thought for anyone with a small expanding studio setup like myself. I found the bit about recording especially interesting as I haven't got to that stage yet but have recently been thinking how to go about it. Also, his cable system looks better organised than mine - I'm only using 7 pieces of kit and it's utter chaos! I probably need to get that under control.

I really enjoyed this video and found it useful to hear a specific artist’s view on setting up the studio all the way to finishing a track. I love your standard videos but I think this adds a whole new dimension and would welcome more of these. Because each artist has very different workflows, I think it’s really awesome to get a perspective that is different than what you’re used to especially when you’re stuck in a rut.
