    Absolutely love these episodes where you bring in people to explain their setups, your best vids imo, always an instant click. Weirdly enough, these are kinda hard to find! If you want to find out what musicians really play out with, it’s either the RUclipsrs who have tons of videos and whose setup you know forward and back already, or it’s little one offs that lack a detailed walk through.

  • @andrewcowan1577
    @andrewcowan1577 4 месяца назад

    I really enjoyed the format of this video. I've always found it slightly weird how far removed the synth scene and the electronic music (and more specifically club) scene seem on RUclips, so it's nice to see them brought together a bit more here. I also really enjoy the Thomann videos for this reason.

      Anyway... Nice video. Too bad you can't just do it for the love of it.

    Yeah pretty laughable to make minimal house with maximal equipment ($10k)
    Oh and yes! No DAW
    Pathetic

      You’re pretty lame bro, its easy to talk shit then to put yourself out there. I thought Claire had great insight on how to do a live set along with some seasoned tips. Remember this is a passion for people and they buy this gear over time ( myself included ). Humble yourself Docta ;)
