Anthony gets it. The secret is that there isn't one. You have to figure out what works for you, and if it does then it does, and if it doesn't then you try something else. He was very kind and generous to offer excellent and solid places for others to start looking for their own answers, but they are just starting points. The rest is your own journey, and that matters. Great video series!
Anthony is awesome! So much information and honesty, not showing off as the know-it-all, but giving away what he learnt on his path - a rare attitude these days. This is a treasure I will watch a few more times. @TCOM: A list of questions and the related timestamps would be very much appreciated...

I got into Anthony's work via 'Sex with the Machines' when it came out. Huge respect to you and great to see modesty . I have been using hardware since the v early 90s.All the very best
Really cool. Anthony Rother was my introduction to electro way back when Simulationszeitalter came out, and still a favorite. Seems like a super down to earth guy, very sharp!
What he says about how to get rid of hum and buzz is 💯 , going from one single plug is the way to get rid of all the noise. I struggled with this for years and finally cut it all by buying a huge power supply. DI should fix anything else! This interview is top!
that is an really cool mixer. i so want something like that, i had an idea for something like that but for a synth and synth plugins & effects. 8tb hd.
Anthony is a real musician who really loves music making so much that he can speak of it for hours ! not that I learned something new, but I listened with pleasure! thanks for these video !
yes at 13:50 hes definitely describing synesthesia. Same thing happens to me some times, but its colors and light, not shapes. I've loved his music for a long time. It feels really neat knowing somebody else who makes electro has that unique brain quirk!
Hätte man das Interview nicht in deutsch führen können und einfach englische Untertitel hinzugefügt??? Ich glaube das wäre ihm leichter gefallen und mir auch das ganze zu verstehen!!!
Leute im Ausland sind nicht an Untertitel gewöhnt. Und es ist mega anstrengend eine Stunde Untertitel zu lesen. Da wir ein internationales Format sind findet bei uns bis auf wenige Ausnahmen alles in Englisch statt
@@Logansix nur zur Info: Electronic Beats ist das internationale Musikmarketingprogramm der deutschen Telekom, da macht deutsch keinen Sinn, weil international deutsch keine große Rolle spielt. Englisch hat also immer Prio, ausser jemand fühlt sich total unwohl damit, dann wird ausnahmsweise auch mal untertitelt.
Have you ever produced a New York City style “freestyle” track from 1986-1990? Examples are Arthur baker “January, February “ or Latin Rascals “mucho Mozart “ or from labels Cutting Records, Mic Mac or Ligosa Records
Ich finde den Sound von Rother ja super, vermisse aber auch leichtere Tracks wie auf Little Computer People. Generell gefällt mir Electro besser, wenn es mehr in Richtung Kraftwerk geht. Daher habe ich angefangen, selbst Musik zu machen: soundcloud.com/loganfive

These interviews are like heaven. I love getting lost inside your genius.
Delaying tracks is a production 'secret' I've learned back in the 80's during my courses music production and synth programming.
Lots of value from his experience... Great insigths... Loved to hear him and his process. Thank you Anthony.
4:30 right there I would stop, no need for editing it's already great.
This is a great YT session. You should do more of these!! Super super interesting. (thanks AR & thanks Telkom)
The point about resolving timing from his midi alone...really insightful Q&A. (Appreciate I'm years late here 😂)
When Anthony speaks, i listen

A wave... wow
I listen to It soo carefully that I grow some little fear inside me in order not to copy His originality whilst I work on My own project...
I wouldn't worry about that fear, he even says around 21:36 that he learned his own sound by copying other artists!
@@fts4life I see you speak on the Shoulders of the Giants
I want the head of I, Robot that is behind you
I would take the waldorf wave to the desert island
What is the thing he keeps talking about on the mix bus and for distortion... CoolTube?

Anthony rother what you described is synesthesia
yes at 13:50 hes definitely describing synesthesia. Same thing happens to me some times, but its colors and light, not shapes. I've loved his music for a long time. It feels really neat knowing somebody else who makes electro has that unique brain quirk!
