In 2004 I was lucky enough to see Celldweller live at a tiny bar in my area a week after OzzFest came - where Klayton personally gave me a 3 song sampler cd of their first album and told me they were playing in my city the next Saturday, as direct support for a local industrial band. Celldweller blew them out of the water and Klayton and the rest of the band were really nice guys.
i love this, it's like he watched every single annoying studio tour and instead of phoning it in he made it awesome. i don't super dig his music but respect for sure
Oh crap. Here I go down the modular rabbit hole. Celldweller is such a cool dude and he gives a terrific studio tour. Love it. I also have used Monotron Duo and Space Delay a lot in my music. Very powerful little gadgets for just $49.
Now that I have a computer powerful enough for harmor & a keyboard w/more than 25 keys it’s ON!! Gonna sample my minibrute & 0-coast and get digitally explosive! HARMOR ROCKS!!
For everyone who doesnt know klayton nor Celldweller: look for these Celldweller songs: Unshakeable, Eon, Birthright, Shutem down, the Wings of Icarus... And then realise how you like it and look for his full albums of Wish upon a Blackstar and Soundtrack for the voices of my head, then finally look around his story life and music life. You are welcome, I have now introduce you to the most complete artists in the world and one of the best musicians in history.
What about the self-titled album? I discovered Klayton shortly before it came out, and some of those songs are still among my favorites. Switchback, Frozen, Own Little World. Definitely not to be overlooked. Check out the Circle of Dust song "Chasm" as well! It's my favorite song by Klayton's old industrial rock band, and you can definitely hear the roots of Celldweller. :)
I love like this seems like klayton is more or less engineering music not just banging rocks together just to see what happens, that is why I love his music, it is so advanced and complicated, thats is why my mind and ears love it :)
Thats why Celldweller is my favorite artist .. i didnt understand a word he said , but i f*cking enjoyed everything that came out of his mouth .. that guy needs recognition and he probably deserves it more that anyone .. !
Wow, this is the most beautifully put together studio I have ever seen. The hours spent just to get everything hooked up properly must be enormous. Thanks for the tour!!
I am waaaay late to comment on this, but my thoughts after reading some of these comments. Saying he dresses like a kid really? I think as an artist/musician we don't ever really grow up thats probably the best part if being an artist dressing how we feel first word in artist(ART). People can not like his music it isn't for everyone Klay does more singing if you actually listen with occasional yells. I am a fan of good screaming but i love metal and Djent. I think to say its been done musically before...ya maybe rock and electronic mixed sure, but not in the way Klay does it. When i hear celldweller it sticks out like a sore thumb just like when i hear smashing pumpkins or radio head or animals as leaders. There isn't a style of music at the moment that hasn't been done before, but how you do it...thats the key. I know people will always state opinions and thats cool opinions are like assholes, everyone has got one. To say an artist is just like this or just like that is a bit overboard. we are people with our own voice. Everyday discovering who we are as musicians. We put blood sweat and tears..anger pain frustration everything we are into our music for others to enjoy and relate to. To just throw a person down and say its just like everything else is a tad bit bully and bullshit to be honest. there are shit tons of motorcycles in the world are they all the same? I just find it frustrating at times to read comments that always have to go off about how much they think they know..its like a bunch of hippies with their old books and records and knowledge of a bunch of indie underground "who are you? type bands" dancing around dirty feet and all talking about how impressed they are with themselves. Bottom line people lets just be straight who gives a Shit if you don't like it...His bank account i bet somewhere it says IM SORRY I DID NOT HEAR YOU.....I WAS TOO BUSY COUNTING MY MONEY-CHEERS and EAT A DICK THE DICK IS FREE HERE HAVE A COUPLE MORE ON THE HOUSE. celldweller be you and do you it has been a long road for you brother to be where you are stay proud man congrats on all you have done and continue to do..i hope one day to share in that type of success
I figured out why no one commented... they are are all banging their heads against a wall in pure envy. Seriously you have the dream vocal chain, gear and racks... and thank you for explaining it.. My friend has a bunch of synth mods.. and didn't tell me anything that was worth damn about how they actually work... cheers..
who was banging their heads??? people who dnt reas the manuals or have no business touching musical instruments, first of all i am a pianist simce the age of 6 and now 35, what i mean is most ttue musicians start off on a real instrument and not a ditigal one, and when whoever starts out on a digital hardware like a modular and doesn't even know any basics of course they won't not to do and look like a dummy, or did you just say your comment to just put ya 20 cents in? i know how most youtube users are, they post hoping someone to click onto their user pic, that sad thing about that is that most use mobile youtube app and one must say something so intelligent or what most of us robots think is intelligent to click on someone's profile to be taken away from youtube!
The audio throughout the entire video seems to be pitched up slightly - Klayton's voice is deeper than this and some of the songs that they play throughout are off-key.
Antonio Garofalo Look mate, it's just a comment... 1. I'm aware of the production process of vocals, enough to know that there would be no point in professionally processing Klayton's voice to sound lower in pitch in every one of his vlogs. (Check the 10th Anniversary Vids for footage taken in 2000, you can hear that his voice is much deeper than it is here.) 2. It isn't hard to tell. You can hear that the Blue Stahli/Celldweller version of Frozen that is played at the start, has been pitched off key to the one we've heard on The Complete Cellout. Do I pass the test?
Good thing Klayton almost always has 1 or 2 people with him because OCTiV and Blue Stahli are almost always hanging around and there is the guy that holds the camera and makes all klaytons videos
Kudos to ya'll at FMM--beautifully mixed vid. It's so good that I didn't notice it. That is, until I noticed how nicely the music is ducked under his dialogue. Nice work!
Seems like a really great guy. it's disconcerting how matter of fact he is, and also how optimistic he is about audio gear. I personally am inclined to think the opposite of almost everything i come across, mostly because of how much it often is for what you get. Especially modular, I actually find it even now to be rather limited, stupendously overpriced and very self-gratifying. It's somewhat bc when a volume knob is in short supply being given them is a treat, but also because any attempt at elaboration and convolution should be met with equal purpose or utility. Not only that, The developers don't often seem really keen on creating veritably inventive modules, but instead just fill holes and offer their take on old ideas.
Ugh, this triggers my modular addiction so hard. Definitely interesting though, I now know what a quantizer does (I used to think of the module versions as just keeping things in time like quantizing in a daw, not keeping pitches in key, so I was never really interested in getting one), and I also know that I need the QU-Bit granular sampler, it's so sick!
***** Maybe it's not what you have, it's how you use it?

***** Well, Celldweller's music was used in tons and tons of films, games and trailers. His music is not focused on "Hey, let's make the simpliest melody possible so it will get stuck in people's head and I will get famous!". For me "Animals" were like "okay, this is not bad", but I listened to it a few times and got bored. Klayton's songs are lifelong masterpieces, where listening to them will only make you enjoy them more.
I love this video, and love celldweller, but how does he afford all of these things? I know he's successful and licences a lot of music, but does that pay enough for him to afford all these synths and his own studio?
Considering the fact that he is a one man band, and that Bret aka Blue Stahli is his second in command, the reasonable wait is worth the amazing works and demos they have released throughout these years... Not to mention they didn't stick to a single genre...
What an awesome studio!! Lots of pro studios have a ridiculous amount of gear...the thing that impressed me about his was the layout, design and artwork. A lot of his design was custom. Talk about a funhouse for production
The facts about the probably higher consumption of energy in the room during operation and the resulting rise of temperature would also be interesting :D
True...I was wondering the same thing. I'll bet he has to keep the a/c cranked for that room along with some extra vents around his modulars. Not just for comfort....analogue and modular synths detune more and more if they're not kept within a certain temp.

Watching in 2023 while drinking a coffee and relaxing on my office, what a great video!
i love this, it's like he watched every single annoying studio tour and instead of phoning it in he made it awesome. i don't super dig his music but respect for sure
Who is this guy and what is he doing in Nasa's main control room?
ikr, he's launchin fuckin space ships in dat boi
😂😂😂🤟
One of the things I like most about this guy, his sense of humour.
how do you like anything about him at all
dryer than a desert
it's great! stupid people don't get it. and fuck i dont even know this guys music
*****
Wrong. ONLY stupid people get it.
well, you seem to be the kind of unintelligent person I wouldn't want to be around then
Oh crap. Here I go down the modular rabbit hole. Celldweller is such a cool dude and he gives a terrific studio tour. Love it. I also have used Monotron Duo and Space Delay a lot in my music. Very powerful little gadgets for just $49.
Yay FL and Harmor up on that laptop ;P
It's not a laptop. It's a Mac. Don't insult laptops.
***** It is a laptop?
I fucks with Harmor
Now that I have a computer powerful enough for harmor & a keyboard w/more than 25 keys it’s ON!! Gonna sample my minibrute & 0-coast and get digitally explosive! HARMOR ROCKS!!
Even seamlessR knows him! I'll now think even highly of celldweller now

I have to disagree id recommend jericho and down to earth
Man...I'm so jealous of his studio.
+pcpaulius can u post link
So Klayton is secretly building a space station?
He actually made contact with aliens with all that gear.
Secrets out. The aliens and I are currently working on a collab.
celldweller ... Skrillex?
Lukeme9X Hope not.
al112v4 Oh, he's the only alien I know of...
Half of Detroit's electricity right there, ladies and gentlemen.
I love like this seems like klayton is more or less engineering music not just banging rocks together just to see what happens, that is why I love his music, it is so advanced and complicated, thats is why my mind and ears love it :)
I had no idea how knowledgeable he was! Great speaker on cam! Loved this tour, keep em coming!
Thats why Celldweller is my favorite artist .. i didnt understand a word he said , but i f*cking enjoyed everything that came out of his mouth .. that guy needs recognition and he probably deserves it more that anyone .. !
How much do you have to pay for your electric bill each month?
Def one of the best studio tours lately from FM. Great to see and hear!
klayton is a underrated producer and musician :)
One of the best ones yet, great that he spent so much time on it
Wow, this is the most beautifully put together studio I have ever seen. The hours spent just to get everything hooked up properly must be enormous. Thanks for the tour!!
Best studio tour so far,very impressive

Haters are just jealous. I cannot fathom learning all of the audio engineering equipment and combinations like this. Very cool 👍
I really like that this dude admits he has no clue what many of these plug ins do other than "they sound really cool coming out the other end".
Makes sense though, with all that gear I think anyone's brain would melt if they learned how all of it worked, every single thing XD
He has no clue about synths. That's the problem.
I figured out why no one commented... they are are all banging their heads against a wall in pure envy.
Seriously you have the dream vocal chain, gear and racks... and thank you for explaining it..

truely incredible studio!!!!
Really enjoyed the Pro Tools comment.
I have no idea what he is talking about but that demo was really nice.
This what heaven looks like for a music producer.
Mesmerizing. An hour well spent!!
Love the framed COD self titled album cover in your vocal booth. One of a kind!
Holy crap that is beautiful!
Money can't buy me love.....just a kickass studio!
I bet his electric bill is expensive as shit
I am very excited to watch this.
true meaning of a self sufficient producer
No wonder all his works are Masterpieces only he can do this no one else🤯my mind is blown🙏❤️
Awesome studio-tour and great artist !!
The audio throughout the entire video seems to be pitched up slightly - Klayton's voice is deeper than this and some of the songs that they play throughout are off-key.
It does seem slightly pitched up. I went: "Wha..? Klayton's voice doesn't sound like that."
I noticed that when "Frozen" played at the beginning of the video.
***** I think it's some copywrite thing
Antonio Garofalo Look mate, it's just a comment...
1. I'm aware of the production process of vocals, enough to know that there would be no point in professionally processing Klayton's voice to sound lower in pitch in every one of his vlogs. (Check the 10th Anniversary Vids for footage taken in 2000, you can hear that his voice is much deeper than it is here.)
2. It isn't hard to tell. You can hear that the Blue Stahli/Celldweller version of Frozen that is played at the start, has been pitched off key to the one we've heard on The Complete Cellout.
Do I pass the test?
Could be just some conversion fault with the FPS of the video - keep audio linked so it's all in time and slight pitchshifting might occur
This is a real studio tour :O
I just discovered this guy. He is a genius 🤘
WOW this studio is amazing.... I want !!!
This has to be the coolest studio ever...
Just noticed "circle of dust" sticker on that bigger modular rack:O
Garrix's Windows Vista vs Celldweller's Space Station... We all know who won.
Lol
matrin garrix pirates a OS ... picks vista..
+Raddeon Lol you are totally right
CheezeIII odoy ;)
LOL 😂😂😂
This is next level, after he said thats studio A I died....
Awesome! Savant and now CellDweller :D
Blown away, the guy's a genius!
OMFG this production studio is nuts.
That is one crazy studio setup... the rest of us can only dream. ;)
This guy really knows his stuff and I checked out his music.. its really good
The couple that dyes hair together, stays together.
I think that I would need more hands if I had a studio like that. So many knobs... o.o ...I like turning knobs.
Good thing Klayton almost always has 1 or 2 people with him because OCTiV and Blue Stahli are almost always hanging around and there is the guy that holds the camera and makes all klaytons videos
I just remembered that its not OCTiV its just their friend Josh.
Ethan Lekki You are probably gay.
And you are probably wrong.
Studio goals.
Now that's a synth driven Studio I would love to play around in
Wow Delicious studio
Damm Bitches! Possibly the best Future Music Studio Tour ever - love the kick ass modular setup! *drool*
I can only say: WOW! This guy is great.
Amazing, this dude is a complete gear junkie. Cant believe how well he knows all his equipment, its just mindblowing!! Very jelous :)
A rather enviable collection of gear!
Kudos to ya'll at FMM--beautifully mixed vid. It's so good that I didn't notice it. That is, until I noticed how nicely the music is ducked under his dialogue. Nice work!
Thats the coolest thing! To actually see the real knobs of your plugins.
this was really awesome to watch
'
So inspiring! Thanks!
I have a question...how is it you are in your 50's and look so young???
WOW this is awesome
Fantastic, really enjoy this!! Ok, celldwellers hair smells hipster, but he is gifted as hell!. Thanx!!
Seems like a really great guy. it's disconcerting how matter of fact he is, and also how optimistic he is about audio gear.

"I hope to see Pro Tools never again". Classic! Great to see he went for Cubase. :-)
amazing Vid loving the Modular kit
dude you look really cool with that hair though............
Damn son this studio looks amazing :D
Cool setup, wicked modular rig.
Ugh, this triggers my modular addiction so hard. Definitely interesting though, I now know what a quantizer does (I used to think of the module versions as just keeping things in time like quantizing in a daw, not keeping pitches in key, so I was never really interested in getting one), and I also know that I need the QU-Bit granular sampler, it's so sick!
Why is the audio stepped up?
This is extremely technical and boring.
I love it. :D
an artist's paradise :)
Watch this and then watch the Martin Garrix video, the difference is literally laughable.
***** Maybe it's not what you have, it's how you use it?
***** Well, Celldweller's music was used in tons and tons of films, games and trailers. His music is not focused on "Hey, let's make the simpliest melody possible so it will get stuck in people's head and I will get famous!".

Klayton's songs are lifelong masterpieces, where listening to them will only make you enjoy them more.
whos martin garlix?
Martin Garrix is also 17, not 50.
So no shit there's a huge difference.
Give him 33 years, then we'll see what he can do lol
how can one fully listen to his song animals like seriously that shit is so annoying shittiest style ever
Studio B would be enough for me :D
I like how he's wearing a Blue Stahli shirt :D
I love this video, and love celldweller, but how does he afford all of these things? I know he's successful and licences a lot of music, but does that pay enough for him to afford all these synths and his own studio?
yes
waw ! this guy is my hero for the day
Living the life!
34:36 A hint to Circle of Dust before its announcement. On the side of the taller cabinet
this is the opposite of the 'how to make music with only free plugins' category of videos
I love seeing that space saver vertical mackie, thinking of doing that
Un fucking real, unlimited power of electrical signals into sound.......!!!
Closest to a studio tour with Deadmau5 with all that mod gear
Jesus this is impressive.
Way ahead of the game !
This guy should invite children into here to play with the toys.
How does he get any work done with that parrot living on his head.
Considering the fact that he is a one man band, and that Bret aka Blue Stahli is his second in command, the reasonable wait is worth the amazing works and demos they have released throughout these years... Not to mention they didn't stick to a single genre...
How is this not the top comment?
Is this the guy that owns FiXT?
It is!
yup
i know this guy... he was in kick-ass!!!!!!!
i dont know how to use those tools at all but wow! it's heaven!
What an awesome studio!! Lots of pro studios have a ridiculous amount of gear...the thing that impressed me about his was the layout, design and artwork. A lot of his design was custom. Talk about a funhouse for production
"Fair amount"
The facts about the probably higher consumption of energy in the room during operation and the resulting rise of temperature would also be interesting :D
True...I was wondering the same thing. I'll bet he has to keep the a/c cranked for that room along with some extra vents around his modulars. Not just for comfort....analogue and modular synths detune more and more if they're not kept within a certain temp.
Holy crap, is he a bank robber in his spare time?
Money comes from work. Bad work or good work. Nothing else.
Celldweller is in a LOT of trailers. Always has been. Royalties are good money.
Are you guys still doing studio tours ? I really like these videos, be great to see more. Also be nice to see the Boys Noize video back up....
Anybody who is using Cubase as DAW, which he does, is our friend.
In the studio with incoming?
