Watching this is like what I imagine hell to be. All the gear I'll never get my hands on, being shown to me and being packed away.

Yes to the TR-8! I'm all about its simplicity too. Great vid Ben.

Yo, that "syrup" rubber can actually be fixed by this cleaning spray called Mother's VLR. You can get it at places like AutoZone, etc

I think you are way more original now vs others reviewing gear and we have finally someone who said it. Most gear reviewers are slaves of marketing and probably don’t even enjoy doing it long term .

The most Benn And Gear episode ever.

I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. I often wonder if I’m a gear hoarder but thanks to you I feel like Marie Kondo 😊 love your content. Keep up the great work.

I get so much anxiety when you pick up something I own.

Had a similar experience to the Zoom F3 data loss issue with a Tascam DR-05. Was recording a once-in-a-lifetime jam session with an incredibly prolific producer/DJ directly off a main mixer. In the days that followed, I spent so many hours trying to recover the missing files. They were just not there.. Like the unit gave up and just stopped writing. I've gotta have multiple recorders for any similar session now. I'd rather have duplicate copies than none at all.

As a beatboxer who loves the RC505 mk1, uses all 5 tracks with my hands, and holds on it to avoid the menu diving of the newer mk2, this video still has my full support 🎉 Thank you for this glorious tirade 😅

Everybody loves studio tours, even one in deconstruction. Can't wait to see the new studio build video.

Hey Benn, Just wanted to say a HUGE "thank you" for rating ALL of your gear! Your intelligent and concise review of everything in your studio, combined with the tier ranking was a real fun experience to watch. So much of the gear you had tucked away was stuff I'd seen for sale and never really had reviews on, and some of the S-tier stuff you mentioned, and the passion with which you spoke about it really made me want to look at a few of those that I hadn't seen before. In addition, you helped me make some decisions about gear that I had been on the fence about. I can understand how that whole experience must have felt invasive, and I just wanted to express my appreication for pressing on and making yet another amazing video that keeps me coming back to your channel again and again. Well done!

this is a great format for a gear video. quick, to the point, ruthless.

Correction: Korg Volca FM has as many operators as DX-7 else you wouldn’t be able to load DX-7 patches, but it only has 3 polyphony, where DX-7 has 16.

The honesty and candor in this video is gold!

Benn, do you not have an Elektron Machinedrum? I was really looking forward to your review, especially after all this time and how highly sought after/regarded it is. Did you sell it? Either way, that must have been a mammoth video to make so thank you for it

Next up: Tier-listing Every Type of 7UP in my Fridge.

As a recent subscriber, this was really cool watching you give an opinion on gear that was never even on my radar. It was also a little heart-wrenching seeing gear I genuinely like get a lower rating than I'd like, but all the more reason why I enjoy the candid takes!!

Excellent post! Now I need to let my wife watch this, so she'll know it could be much worse. Good plug for the Medusa. I helped write the v1 version of the manual, and early on, much closer to the scheduled release date than it should have been, the list of capabilities was still far from solid. Best thing is that Polyend ran with it none-the-less, patching some of the early issues, and coming up with some GREAT ideas (a lot beyond anything initially discussed), and they really brought it home with the updates.

23:08 literally made me pause the video, grab my iPad and went out to do some jam in the nearest coffee shop. Well done, sir.

Thanks for making me feel good about my TR-8

As a huge fan of Marc Rebillet, seeing the RC-505 get a D and a "who is this *for*?" hurt my soul a little. 😅 Love the video though, and it's simultaneously a helpful series of snippets and a good reminder that a lot of taste is subjective and people don't have to like the same things. 💜

it's been lovely to see how much things one can collect and how they've been part of your music. Love it!

I have the same Tascam DR-60D and it was the backbone of so many events I covered and only had one bad recording when I removed the external power too early. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with it but I love it so very much.

I was REALLLLLY hoping for another Moog Labyrinth video. MAN ALIVE! What a time to be alive. Like a thousand Moog Labyrinthvideos appeared in my feed in a single day!!

The Launchkey, for Ableton workflow, is incredible. When paired with a launchpad, their ability to control the software is unbeatable for the price. Solid A tier for Ableton users. Maybe not FL users.

Please, keep doing gear reviews, there is nothing that I love more than seen gear that I can’t afford in the hands of people I admire. Seriously

Thank you Jordan for taking all this time to create a video that is both fun to watch, as well as quite educative! And most importantly, I feel it will inspire a lot of us to get rid of all the useless gear we have somehow mindlessly accumulated through the passage of time. It will surely bring a lot of relief, as well as contribute to our mental peace. Thank you!

I saw you in Chicago with Bogdan many many years ago and you were using that air fix and I was like whoa that awesome. Then I bought one and I was like whoa this is shit lmao.

Dear Benn, many many thanks for all your works! Looking forward to all you are going to be sharig with us! Most health, peace, love and happiness to each and everyone! One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀☀☀ 💚💛❤ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼

Thanks for the insight into a real world melodica use case. That's neat!

I too bought a QY10 because I hate myself. Please make a video on it though, that would be hilarious

Great video to watch in the background while cleaning. I learned something. Thanks!

Thanks Benn. I agree, i wish other well known producers would simply talk us through their kit in an honest reflective way. It might be a long video but your kit list actually seemed really reasonable for a successful professional artist with a long career. I see so many you tubers with huge stacks of expensive keyboards behind them and just think they are just kit hoarders who don't actually make music with any of it.

Just want to let you know I watched the whole thing and learned some new details about gear that will come in handy. For example I had never heard of RME audio interfaces

This was thoroughly enjoyable and very insightful!! S Tier Video!! Thanks Benn you are a champion.

since the moment i got mine i've said the medusa is S-tier desert island. the FM stuff just made it my favorite FM synth as well. i just wish they'd let us edit the wavetable waveforms/upload our own/etc. and light pressure on the pads

Happy to see the S-tier rating for the MRCC, it is indeed a huge problem solver and ingenious. Fact that it is rackmountable too is awesome. If I only had one complaint to make about the MRCC is that the small screen menu navigation just is kinda clunky. I don't mind small screens for something I don't need to change settings on very often, but I feel like a lot of other things out there have done a much better job with menu navigation in the same form factor. Like, it *could* have been better.

Sometimes I look at my cluttered studio and think to myself "Well, you've done it. You've achieved maximum gear acquisition and am now a golden god." Then I see how much shit Ben has. And there's clearly levels to this game.

Very cool to see the focusrite compounder techno machine get some love

was honestly thrilled when I hovered down and saw the video was an hour and a half long. I've spent so much time researching gear but never getting to be hands on with whatever it is that I can't afford myself so this video was very enjoyable to watch.

A "D" for the Boss 505? I love this looper. It's such a fun way to draft music. I guess it's about the opposite of a tracker, which seems to be your go-to starting point, so it makes sense.

loooooove the light vibe of the new space

i take a piece of masking tape and label both ends of PSUs. that way when they're plugged into a surge protector under a desk where you can't see the wall wart you won't get confused as to which one goes where.

Thanks for finishing this, it is very much appreciated and I too would love to see more artists do this.

Wait. What do you mean Volca Fm 'doesn't have as many operators" as DX7 - both have 6 operators. Yes, you can load DX7 patches on both mk1 and 2.

this is single handedly one of the most important gear videos for people like me with huge GAS. Benn knows gear and i truly respect his opinion

Excellent rendition of the Casio SK-1 Human Voice preset at 4:37

I have used many of these devices or many iterations of them. I really enjoyed this.😊

Great video. Sorry to hear the Zoom F series has been failing you, I use an original 24 bit F8n for lots of personal recording but would probably never let it touch something where money is on the line. You are probably already familiar with lots of production sound gear given the amount of field recording that you do, but just in case you are not, you might find something like the Sound Devices 833 interesting?

I appreciate your candor around the actual practicality of using some of the Erica / Soma things. I feel the same, really nice to use but would never end up in a track

I got my M-Audio FTU second hand about 17 years ago and it's still holding up good. What I like is that it doesn't require any drivers because it's class compliant (I think it has some USB-quirks in the Linux kernel though).

More or less completely off topic. I _adore_ your rug in the new studio

nice one Ben, I have just got an MRCC too and plugging it in and looking forward to using it 👍🏻

To answer your question of who the target audience might be for the rc505- it’s pretty great for brass and woodwind players. We don’t have to bring any extra gear to be able to use that looper outside of the mic

Even with the 82 minutes runtime, this is a greatly condensed source of useful and widely applicable information. Nice one! And very nice to see the Korg Radias in the A-tier!

yoooo ben! You mentioned itemizing for insurance earlier, could you do a video elaborating on insurance as it relates to music and live shows? Honestly, it would be amazing if you did some vids on the backend stuff, considering your time as a paid musician and experience. Appreciate you, keep being you and the massively helpful content!

Couldn't agree more on RME I had 2 at one point, one in my studio another for live. I sold the more expensive AIO card as I didn't need it and just kept the OG Babyface, I've had that about 13 years as my only interface and it's never crashed never failed, never misbehaved. the audio quality is flawless. Definitely S+++

looking forward to hearing new music from you, congrats on new space

I like how you put the Tempus on a high tier. I like the Tempus for the Spatium and the Infinite algos.

Semi-pro tip for the maple syrup goo butylene rubber crap: literally exactly what you'd expect, rubbing alcohol. I would like to look into the chemistry and find a solvent that will just dissolve it without damaging nearby plastics, but if you're willing to spend a few minutes of gentle scrubbing, alcohol does the trick.

That Behringer FEX800 reminded me that I've got the MIC800 somewhere, only have it because we urgently needed a cheap mic preamp for a recording session and we were impressed at how good it was.

lol love how cobweb got stuck on Benn's beard 17:30

Ben, the “Akai XR20” is, in fact, the Alesis SR-18, with a different internal sample library. The face of the machine has the all same controls and screen, only arranged a bit differently. No dis on Akai, I’m sure they liked the SR-18. The Akai samples are much more EDM-ish and HipHop than the SR-18. . . but other than that, they are twins.

I can't believe I watched this entire thing. Rating this an A+ :)

Thanks for the vid. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it. Also how you snuck in a Jazz version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” Kudos!!

The Alesis Air FX is awesome. People think you’re a wizard when you wave your hands over it in a live situation.

I had the same micro-SD issues with my Zoom H5. Messed up an entire radio project I was working on. I complained to Zoom about it but they ignored me. I also painstakingly scraped the rubbery gunk off my zoom H5 with a razor blade

It helped me fall asleep! Thank you 😊

Nymphs an A? Ok. Thanks for this and all the others. This is a long but great video. Thank you! ❤

Hell yeah, BOSS DS-1 in S-Tier. Absolutely 100% agree. Legendary stompbox.

When you gave the XR-20 an "A" I was like...I guess I'm keeping mine? So I did.

Absolutely love the NDLR. Arpeggiator on steroids doesn’t even do it justice. I almost bought the MRCC but have the iConnectivity MioXL which I like better because 1) it’s rack mounted and 2) the browser based UI is excellent.

Gear in common: The Osmose (S tier), Neutron (B tier), Both the Meris Reverb & Delay Units (S tier), MiniFreak (A Tier) and I think that's it. Newer gen gear noted that I own were Montage M8x, Hydrasynth Deluxe but sold it, analog rytm MKII. Surprisingly I have gear you don't have or didn't show like Korg PA5x, Yamaha YC73, Behringer Pro-800, BC Deckard's Dream, Iridium desktop, SeqTrak, Gamechanger light pedals, Korg Opsix and I think that's all I have.

Don't write the synth's name on AC/DC adaptors with a permanent marker. Engrave it. (Just kidding). However, - a much better option is to make glow in the dark/fluorescent labels and use transparent boxing tape to attach them (don't be sparing with the tape that surrounds the sticker). If you're like me and prefer darkened studio when working on your music, - this way you will never make an error. Only one 20 watt black light source will make every sticker and writing highly visible. Third option - labels on the cords - cord labels are sold everywhere. Make sure you get the ones that hug the cord tightly and don't slide. The 2 latter options will not alter resale value, - you can always take off glue from old tape using alcohol swab, or unclip the cord label. From personal experience - removing the permanent marker writing from AC/DC adaptors before putting the unit up for sale can be difficult especially when the adaptor has rough surfaces.

Glad you have so much stuff that you like! On a personal level even the knowledge that I have this many devices (even if they are packed away in boxes hidden in my basement) would drive me crazy haha

That first championship TUF fight between Stephan and Forrest was insane! RIP Stephan Bonnar!

I loved this rapid fire, highly subjective tier list video. Congrats on your new studio Benn! Your content is refreshing and inspiring in a world that rewards toxicity.

Absolutely love my Aonic 50 Gen 2s. Glad to see them get a mention

I would watch that QY-10 video, for what it's worth. In fact, I'm mad that you even put the thought in my head.

Loved this video! Made some cloudberry jam while watching/listening to it :). You validated some of my gear choices and also helped me towards the realization that I don't need to have everything plugged in and ready to go - it's such a boring quest that requires so much infrastructure and a million cables. I should just make and record some noise instead of trying to make everything work together (without a DAW). All of your videos are a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!

god damn this felt like reading someones journal or diary. every piece of gear is an experience (painful or glorious). thanks for showing your life

I like that you have gear which you have a real connection to, and have used and have fond memories of, that you still give a D to, knowing how it would be perceived by anyone else getting it new now. That's honesty :)

man for me Nord Lead is like S+ tier :-) My most favourite synth of all times .. absolute cult item for me ❤

I feel like a D for the RC-505 is maybe a bit harsh. It definitely has some specific use cases, but for those cases it's arguably indispensable. For myself, I use it in conjunction with a turntable to scratch out beats and pull samples from vinyl with such immediate efficiency that I couldn't hope to achieve in a DAW. In literal minutes I can have the basis for a track laid out and then bounce those loops to a DAW for proper arrangement and polishing. Despite some issues I have with the build quality it's one of my favorite pieces of gear and one that will likely stay in my dj rig for years to come (unless I replace it with a MK 2). TLDR: RC-505 deserves up to a B (depending on your use case)

“Peak bed-shit” is the funniest thing I’ve heard all week. Thank you. Another great video too.

Sound devices have released a musician app for their recorders to turn them into multitracks. Me I’m happy with my Sony d100 apart from only a 3.5mm stereo input

I BLOODY WELL WISHED I LIVED LOCALLY TO YOU! I'D BE ROUND ALL THE TIME ASKING WHAT WORK NEED'S DOING. GREAT VID, BIT LIKE A REVERSE UNBOXING VIDEO, ONLY YOU WANNA HEAR WHAT EVERYTHING DOES!

You can tell a person of true distinction by their Pioneer SR-202w.

As a rookie bleep bloop sonic doodle donkey, yay for super affordable pedals. Also, props to you for the word choice vs "cheap".

I have a laptop. It does all things, S tier

29:46 the RC-505 was made for Marc rebillet and Marc rebillet only

The Polyend Tracker had so much potential, but there are little things they can do to improve the experience, like adding a scale/key mode to light up keys within those parameters, instead of making the composer learn a new keyboard. Fill is cool, but it usually tends to be a gimmick or a time saver (for like filling drum segments), the above would help

Thank you for making the video. I really did help in at least one of those esoteric ways you listed.

Better than a Furman Power Conditioner is a Furman Power Sequencer (with Power Conditioning). Having your monitors power on after everything else and be the first to power off when shutting down does wonders for maintaining sanity from awful pops when powering on a mixer or audio interface. Sure, you can do it manually. But flicking a switch and not having to think about the order is nice.

15:52 qy10's not that bad imo. it's basically like an arranger keyboard that you can quickly make your own styles with (albeit with the difference that you have to program the chords ahead of time). it's kinda fun.

Haven't even seen more than a minute of the video and already love the premise XD ggwp 👏

Hilarious amount of gear, all the more so that you can remember what it's all like to use.
