I saw Richard Devine a festival recently and it was hands down the most amazing musical performance i have ever seen. His ability to manipulate sounds and explore every aspect of a sounds quality is unbelievable. He builds his own modular setup and then plays it masterfully live - a truly novel thing to see. You feel as if he and the machine used to make the sounds are one in the same
was up Richard D you rock , I commend your hard work . it takes a lot to take what you love and push forward and become successful. Peace and happiness to you my old skate brother.
Have been fond of him ever since Lipswitch, especially Lens:Align. Saw him live at The Incredible Warp Lighthouse Party in 2000. Can't believe it's been 20 years.
very talented sound artist. i purposely avoid the "sound designer" label cause his music albums are very fun to listen to! its not just TV commercial sounds coming out of there.
very impressive studio and collection of gear. everything looks ready to plug and play. its all perfectly optimized for him., he must have got an amazing workflow in there. would love to chill and make music there
I had the honor to chat with him on a couple of occasions back when I was in Atlanta a few years ago. Richard and Amber (his wife) are really nice people, and his live sets were mind-blowing back then... :) I remember him explaining me his gear out on the parking lot before the show and walk into the club in his flip-flops and then suddenly make sonic miracles like he was walking in the park...
With the right time and materials you can learn the technical stuff. That's not the hard part. The hard part is knowing what to do with all of this. Knowing what to record and for how long and what context to use it in. That is where I get lost.
electric bill would actually be really low for most of that gear. Digital gear especially. All usually very low in the mA range. Older gear can use more, and especially tube gear uses more. But most of that stuff he has is pretty new so it won't be that high. You'll use 10 times as much electricity just turning on the heater or putting the dryer on.
in this particular studio i'd probably be able to finish one single track per decade. it looks impressive, but i'd really not like to have that gear in my house, as all i'd end up doing day after day would be experimenting here, tweaking that and finding a cable long enough to patch trigger LFO x of synth z with some CV output of eurorack synth y. >_
It's a lot of gear. There's probably a reason he has it, or a reason he didn't throw it away. you're right, you could use singl pieces of gear to achieve stuff - the elektron boxes, nords. Eurorack, maybe. That was just the hardware :) If it were ME, I'd want a gear list and RTFM before I even walk in to avoid being overwhelmed...
yeah with just an elektron octatrack and a few pocket operators or korg volca units you can make millions of tracks in a tiny footprint. Heck the OP-1 and Elektron are perfect travel partners.
I mey Rich in Phoenix many years ago. I asked what he uses and he said"the same thing everyone uses"Logic and Reaktor". Than as he ate his huge plate of fried foods we talked for like ten minutes about logic and he would get much more inthusiastic than I did about the subject of Logic. Like a kid talking about a toy.You can't meet a more down to earth guy that Rich.
Pear Of Salamanca he is a sound genius and that usually entails a lot of hours per day of non talking activities. it makes complete sense why he sounds “nervous”
What's going on with the editing and camera work?!? Nice little walk through, but surely you could've had higher production than that! the cross fades on the cuts are awful, surely you had plenty of cutaways you could've used and the sound recording device is on auto level so when he pauses, the background noise increases. Really amateurish and detracted from what could've easily been a really nice piece
Advertising for who. Every synth maker in existence many of which are guts who only make a synth a a hobby. He owns every synth from every manufacturer so no offense but your point is silly.
Na man, that sounded like the "oh shit, I murdered someone and I have them in the closet" voice lol. Awesome stuff but I think he been in there too long.... 0_o
Great studio and there was some good info, but whoever actually made the video should be fired/banned from making videos in the future. Why cut off the end of phrases (rude!:) and the camera follows richard maybe 50% of the time and half of that is out of focus. Such a shame when it's on such a talented artist with such a cool space.
Very impressive collection, but like Direcordingstudios said, painful to watch and sort of annoying to listen to...for someone who makes a living off of sound, you'd think he'd know to clear is throat away from the mic (that he's swallowing). I'm more of a fan of the Eno school of thought. Just have a few units that you know really well, rather than be inundated by SO many options....but I am not a professional sound designer.
respect for producers that create their own sounds
imagine being an electronic musician and not?
@@mollyoko if that sound is "not important" in track, like a pad, on the background of a track full with everything, it goes well with a preset.
@@AlexStavi when is any sound not important? do you think Jackson pollock considered any drop of paint on his canvas not important?

Oh please.... smfh... explain it like an orgasmic impossible experience that can't possibly be had by any human some more... smfh

So much self contradiction, that can only emit from such a creative, patient mind! Love it!
I love it when the camera guy suddenly starts fixating on the Moog unit :D 7:53

Uhm.. why are you constantly cutting his voice? :(
That was AWESOME! I wish we could've heard some demos. specially from the modular gear.

I am just as impressed that you have mastered all that gear as the collection itself.
Richard Devine. The gear guru with basically everything I have ever seen in regards to gear. Shortest Future Music studio tour. :/
Great job editing all the interesting stuff out! Also, this is his studio in Georgia...
Is there an unedited version available? I'd like to see it.
my thoughts exactly, a year later. just put out the raw footage let us sort thru it,
Most inspiring studio so far.
9:41 what is the top unit called?
Only in auto focus mode. It takes sometime for the camera to focus, althought its a bit riskier, I find it best to manual focus.
he is awesome. listen to his albums asap if you don't have already :)
Oh shit, Richard Devine! Haven't even watched the video yet and know it's going to be awesome.
Holy video editing, Batman!
But damn, what a studio, synth geek heaven.
Need an update to this!
From his Instagram posts it seems he has changed quite a bit, or at least got some new toys to play with 😂
Nice Studio , would like to see a follow up video with Richard at work, a quick demo of how he produce sound sets.
i didn't want this to end :(
i love those vines he uploads every day.
Great tour thanks!

What an interesting talk - thanks for sharing your thoughts Richard.
Did you employ a blind camera operator? Worst pans and focusing ever.
no doubt. worst camera operator ever
Yea for real
can't wait to see your new studio!!
Excellent looking studio, Richard! :-)
I would be interested to see his workflow, also the way he routes his signal flow.
Transformers on the screen on the background? Is he somehow involved in the sound design of the new Transformer film coming?
The heaven of music *-*
So much gear, holy crap.
This blows my mind!
Probably shot with a DSLR. It's very hard to tele/wide and focus at the same time with a DSLR.
How many synths do you need to make good music?😏😏😏😏😏
His studio is sooooooo cooooool!!!
I love technology ..
agree, my favorite technologies are synthesizers and bicylces.. great vehicles for the inside and outside.
This video is really great! I would love to hear some of those things turned on. Especially some glitchi-ness.
electric bill would actually be really low for most of that gear. Digital gear especially. All usually very low in the mA range. Older gear can use more, and especially tube gear uses more.

How come the addac and not the o tool ?
WE NEED AN "IN THE STUDIO WITH RICHARD DEVINE" FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!!
Dude...
I wanna smoke some of this camera operators stash :P
...a little slow on the uptake!
wow that is so cool, modular heaven
Sweet studio.
in this particular studio i'd probably be able to finish one single track per decade.
it looks impressive, but i'd really not like to have that gear in my house, as all i'd end up doing day after day would be experimenting here, tweaking that and finding a cable long enough to patch trigger LFO x of synth z with some CV output of eurorack synth y.

What do you think the value of the kit in that studio is worth?? 250,000'ish ;) lucky bugger!
he's got the coolest toys
jesus....would have been more enjoyable to watch if the studio hadn't have been filmed and edit by a small kitten with learning difficulties!
Cool modulars!!
his voice is like that
Have Dieter make you a Custom Übermönsterkase
for a channel called 'future music' they did a horrible job on processing the vocal; gnarly to listen to
My eyes IMMEDIATELY went to and got stuck on the Alesis Andromeda in the background. Drool.
no ns10s , love it
A dream job.
You got it all!
*interviews sound designer*
*edits sound at walmart*
master endorse got the gear.. good good
what a playground! i'll never be able to produce any work there, just play and play and play all day......
basically basically basically
very sympathetic guy, great gear!
Cool but I really want to hear these machines now he's told me about them!
Heck yeah
How the fuck are they gonna edit out Richard Devine and not celldweller?
natures good too!
allways nice to see a video about cool gear. and not hear one sound. probably better?!
holy crap, I want that bent box thing with the banana cables lol
Great studio. $2 interview microphone
I want to hear him use some of those synths, especially the custom ones. :D
His "song" Sigstop brought me here loololol😂
Devine intervention
F yeah Bionicle
holy fucking christ tha gear.
Jesus, Eurorack heaven.
Think Richard could do with some water
he sounds nervous
blew a PA system? that means you didn't have a basic safety limiter. naughty naughty :P
nothing infuriates me more than when idiots brag about blowing PAs. Clearly never had to pay to fix one.
Mr. Devine :D Nice
This guy sounds really nervous throughout the entire tour. That may just be how his voice is, though
Pear Of Salamanca he is a sound genius and that usually entails a lot of hours per day of non talking activities. it makes complete sense why he sounds “nervous”
13:11 ... hilarious!
gear, gear, gear...
electric bill must be huge!
Shoot the editor! He had so much more to say!
"ummm..."
Dat Andromeda

ATL REPRESENT
talking about synths is like describing how a pizza is tasting. just fucking bla
:)))) ahahahahahaahahahaa
who fucking cares how new his room is or where he moved from? wtf is he holding? he can't afford a small mic? gotta use a kick drum mic for vocals?
