We're really happy everyone is enjoying the Tech Talk, thanks for the feedback. You should also check out Magda's recent EB Radio Podcast for a look into a different side of her musical taste www.mixcloud.com/electronicbeats/podcast-magda/
i was so obsessed with this that ended up buying almost the entire Synth & drum machine collection. (Simmons included). But a few months ago sold almost everything.

+Doug B. this seems to be a common request, hope it works out for you and the other commenter :) and i commend you being so polite just i did him as well.
Philipp seriously just sounds like an FM noise wave + a bit of reverb you could make that in operator in ableton in about 2 seconds! Down with samples!!!
I like the concept of that SSL mixer with it's alternative channel layout, but 2+k€ for a couple of channels might only be in the budget for a few. Are there mixers with similar functions (disregarding the trademark SSL sound) on the market?
What i always wondered, and might be a interesting thing to do for a interview is, ask them how did they found the place to build studio in. I think that's the hardest thing to find considering you need a place where you listen to music at high db. Did they build a house in a forest or find an empty garage or what? Because having a studio in a city seems like impossible thing to have. All replies are welcome :)
House in the forrest would be amazing but believe it or not most of the studios we visit are in fact in cities, some are in dedicated buildings a little out of the city centre but others are in residential apartments i.e. where they live.
I remember listening Magda music back in mid 2000', after watching this video I wanted to listen to her new stuff but I can't find anything ! Can someone helps me ?
I wonder when she multitrack thru the ssl, she records thru her rme's, right? How does she record thru the burl? One track by another or just the whole mixbus?
the b2 bomber is for your mixbus mostly. adds lots of silk. i havent used mine on individual tracks simply because it sounds amazing to have it layered on the whole mix
I was trying to understand what she's talking about here. What does she mean by "alternative mode"? Can anyone explain exactly how she does her recordings? Can she record things dry and through the mixer at the same time or something?
The SSL basicly has two inputs per channel which you can switch with the "alt" button. The way she has it set up I believe is she runs every machine through the desk. If she wants to record a track als she has to do is press record in ableton for that track. Afterwards push the alt switch to have the track coming from ableton into the desk instead of the machine.
I wish that in the future we can see more artist that doesn't use so much gear that cost ALOT of money. as most of the people cannot afford so much gear, synths and extra stuff... keep it minimal :) NONETHELESS, great videos! keep on the good work!
M. B. You can do everything on a single laptop there plenty of videos on youtube that show that. The reality is that artists that make money as producers use that money to buy gear.
Can you help me please, I see the Xlogic SSL on the desk of our lovely Magda, but the question - what is on the left side ? I suppose it is a chanel extension - what is the model ?
André Teistura Considering that you're sitting many hours each day it is not that much anymore. I almost ruined my spine with a cheap chair. And if you find one used like I did they are pretty affordable again. I paid 300 Euro for mine...
does anybody know how to run all those channels into the mixer and then into ableton? is the mixer an audio interface as well or there is an audio interface after the mixer that acquires all the signals?
I bought mine used on the Bay for around 300 Euro and picked it up locally. The chair is from Herman Miller and is called "Mirra". The dealer also had the "Aeron" chair from H. Miller which can be found in a lot of studios around the world. Tried it out too, but it wasn't nearly as comfortable. Especially if you are a taller person like me I would go with the "Mirra". Never had any pain in the back again after switching to this chair. Worth every single cent!
I thought I heard something between blur, blurp, and blah... but seems like you're getting it right, my friend. ;-) www.westfloridacomponents.com/T793APQ11/ADC82AG+Analog+to+Digital+A-D+Converter+IC+High+Speed+Burr+Brown.html
I'd get lost in the sound design and I'd probably overlay to many instruments. It would take me a lot more time than normal but I'm sure it would be fun.
my 2 cent but running from rme to burl make your sound do ADAD, not sure thats the optimal way to use a burl.... Maybe buy a couple of good preamps and run the mix out to burl...
Well... Magda has been in the game for a long time. Maybe a career in music helps? I am a software engineer and my studio is also impressive... so getting a job is a start
Using an iPad and audio bus could achieve the same workflow one that you could take everywhere you go using multiple tracks multiple instruments layering doing everything that you're doing is kind of crazy find a Audiobus baby and find out what it does
I watched this episode probably 20 times already! It won't be the last that's for sure!!! Magda has such a good vibe!!! :) Thank you guys!!!
I love the entire Tech Talk-series.
So wich converter did she mentioned in minute 7:30?
She seems cool. And her studio is killer! Good episode.
+Mark GP Atherton That's a yes to both!
Have seen her live, many times. She's with Houle one of my favourites. I really love her for almost 20 years.
Grew up listening to Magda. Love to see this!
She is my hero. She never decieves since a long time, attached to her style and deep into it
Loved this, she is Brilliant! Love her studio!
I love her! Was so bumbed when she moved away from Detroit.
Her and Richie back in the day. Those Detroit parties were next level
I remember seeing her play pretty regularly in Detroit at a little afterhours called "The Portal".
mad respect for this legend.
Top 20 most talented producer, Magda.
I love her work. She is so talented.!(:
+Eric Rivas She's awesome!
dude, don't be stupid. there is no such thing as "talent" - this is called hard work.
Jajajajaja

Explained very well how she is getting the sound. Really cool. With a sympathetic sense of panache.
+Thomas Ueber absolutely, she has a really solid base and you can tell it's taken her a while to get the right mix in the studio
Which device is she referring to in 7:23? "Brill converter"?
Burl converter
really interesting studio and great explorations
wonderful
+Pablo Arias it was a real treat recoding this, and we're glad you enjoyed it

I like the concept of that SSL mixer with it's alternative channel layout, but 2+k€ for a couple of channels might only be in the budget for a few. Are there mixers with similar functions (disregarding the trademark SSL sound) on the market?

house basement, build it from scratch with own hands

when did she start makin tracks??
Any idea what sound card she running to run everything to ableton? Or does that SSL have it integrated in? Thanks =)
RME fireface ufx
do you know what the first track is in this video
If you wanna do your spine a favor: I can highly recommend her chair! ---------------> Herman Miller "Mirra"
have to agree, it was heavenly to sit in
+800 bucks for a chair? no thank you
André Teistura Considering that you're sitting many hours each day it is not that much anymore. I almost ruined my spine with a cheap chair. And if you find one used like I did they are pretty affordable again. I paid 300 Euro for mine...
800 buck for your body i think is the best investment really
Haha yeah if you're gonna spend all that money on that gear and then sit in a cheap chair you're an idiot
does anybody know how to run all those channels into the mixer and then into ableton? is the mixer an audio interface as well or there is an audio interface after the mixer that acquires all the signals?
where can i buy this chair :D
it was ridiculously comfortable let me tell you
I bought mine used on the Bay for around 300 Euro and picked it up locally. The chair is from Herman Miller and is called "Mirra". The dealer also had the "Aeron" chair from H. Miller which can be found in a lot of studios around the world. Tried it out too, but it wasn't nearly as comfortable. Especially if you are a taller person like me I would go with the "Mirra". Never had any pain in the back again after switching to this chair. Worth every single cent!
what does she do today?
What converter did she say @7:24
Burl Converter (B2 BOMBER ADC) ;)
bonjour magda thanks :)
I like the track actually 5:50
any idea if magda release it?
she is really happy with the "bro converter"? I am pretty sure I got that wrong :D
I thought I heard something between blur, blurp, and blah... but seems like you're getting it right, my friend. ;-)
www.westfloridacomponents.com/T793APQ11/ADC82AG+Analog+to+Digital+A-D+Converter+IC+High+Speed+Burr+Brown.html
it's very cool studio. I'd have to set my self some sound limits if i had all that gear.
+Robert Naik 聶 like what?
I'd get lost in the sound design and I'd probably overlay to many instruments. It would take me a lot more time than normal but I'm sure it would be fun.
magda es una excelente productora,,,muchos deberían aprender de estos beats,,,jajaja
No tienes ni puta idea anda
what's the name of the compressor (7.20)..."broke converter"?
It's not a compressor it's an AD converter, a Burl B2 bomber
Impressive! Great video
Name of the tracks played in the video?
+Dj Asy thanks! they were jams of hers which will probably come out soon
the first track thats starts at 00:56 is the beeest!
Anyone know the name of that first instrument she played?
it's a "analog" spring verb :)
What converter? What is the name of that green magic converter, do anybody understand?
It's a Burl B2 Bomber Ruslan Sergeevich
How much for this efector processors 100 tys. euros or 200? Regards Djs play good music please
wow
Can I stay over and make some beats with you? Lol
Another great video
+Paul H hahaha at least you asked nicely :) thanks for watching
Only way to get anything ;)
keep up good work!
+Paul H you got that right!
we'll try
I don't see a ring on that finger..... Magda will you be my wife?? Your passion for sounds has me down on one knee :)
my 2 cent but running from rme to burl make your sound do ADAD, not sure thats the optimal way to use a burl.... Maybe buy a couple of good preamps and run the mix out to burl...
💙
Yum and yum!
(I'm of course referring to optimized work flow and quality gear)
Best gear --》Derek Holzer's SoundBox
wicked
+Hofmann totally! thanks for watching
anyone know the first track in this vid
Magda - Scrumps
want to jam.
+mookie714 it ain't too much; just jam ;)
These video's should start with a detailed breakdown of how exactly the individual was able to afford all this exquisite albeit expensive gear.
Well... Magda has been in the game for a long time. Maybe a career in music helps? I am a software engineer and my studio is also impressive... so getting a job is a start
I would also have such free musical Feeling if like her i would have money to buy all that stuff. With all this equipment its impossible to suck!
+Geff Niels it's not what gear you have but how you use it :) we have seen plenty of people work out of the box on a laptop and make amazing music
Burl converters to make some bubbles...
Love the setup but good god the cost of it all...Need me a few more scratch-n-win tickets.
i'll get a ticket this week for sure!
7:23 ...whats she said ? BRO CONVERTER ? Anyone know ?
+Peoples Choice Burl Converter. (Burl B2 Bomber) :) Fantastic conversion.
+Peoples Choice as the other lads said it's definitely the burl
The studio is the renting
Using an iPad and audio bus could achieve the same workflow one that you could take everywhere you go using multiple tracks multiple instruments layering doing everything that you're doing is kind of crazy find a Audiobus baby and find out what it does
magda u are damn too cool
Geil
1:27 yeah yeah, originally it was 'ten..äääh.. hours!' =D =D =D
