As many of you have asked, here we are with a detailed statement about how to use a Mackie Mixer as a synth ruclips.net/video/e7KR-_jvbvg/видео.html
WHAT ON EARTH is that last song that he's fiddling around with? I need that in my life
'I can save it to a floppy disk and then put it in the MPC'. These are some words I would not expect in 2018, loving it!
"It's not the sound but more the process of creating music".Feel you bro
This dude became my favorite under a minute !
Oh really! So after the whole episode you wanted to marry me, right? ;)
Cool to see his workflow. Have been a fan of his stuff for a good few years.
nice to see the MPC3000 used in this style of music.
Super cool producer. My generation knows how to make records that’s for sure.
True to the bone electronic musician (and "disco bandit) ;)
Thank you Italo Brutalo 🙏
He is very good!
I love this guy!!! I have seen him playing a couple of times, so talented!!
You have a very intuitive and beastly setup, more important you got the talent! Thanks for sharing!
This guy rules
Italo! U legend
Love this guys approach to producing :-)
i like that..and I have that mixer and LOVE my Mackie...
Bavarian Beast.
So many tricks and no sleeves super!
Qué pasada de estudio 🤙🏽
Yamaha RS7000
Great box
This is another great video.. love the use the rs7000, I have the rm1x and know what he means about the shuffle.. the Yamaha sequencers are still some of the best available.. thanks for showing us this insight into this guys mind. Brilliant series
Very nice ideas, thanks for the video!
damn, so cool.
Superb! The Studio is what i whant. and this soud you make is great*
Ich mag Ihn sehr
such a cool guy , don't need to talk about his lovely /creative art of prod. music . Peace & Love
RS7000❤❤❤
Excellent! I totally have the same approach. I'm a hardware guy.
Nice!
My Man
Yeah!
Future Feelings hells yeah :) !
Nice guy!
Super-interesting!
Good stuff!
ccol.straight guy.
nice
nice fella
The different grid bit , very interesting !
That idea (in fact this whole video) makes want to get my RS out of storage on my next day off. I just wish he was more detailed about what he means. I'm pretty sure he means don't have the RS's BPM slaved to the rest of the rig, let it run free then mess with the 'sequence play effects' until it sounds nice. That does though, kinda contradict the idea he mentions earlier, of hand crafting everything with full intention. I also have to say that i like his idea that it's all "about the process, not the sound", if I had kept that in mind i might not have packed my rig away all those months ago.
@@knowingwhatthebuttondoes3432 What i tried to explain was to program 5 bars on 150 bpm in a way that i sounds like 4 bars on 120 bpm.
Great video & some absolutely great equipment. Shame though we didn't get to hear the best piece in there, the legendary SP1200 (though cudos for at least having that too)!
There are hundreds of SP1200 videos around. ;)
Make music ! no pares !
that sp1200 tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥he should of turned it on
That wife beater is legendary.
IS Thar the Panasonic Ramsa? Digital Cosole if so i had that same board lol.
Love how he explains why he prefers hardware over plugins. What mixer does he use (not the mackie we see, but the one over on the right)?
It´s the Panasonic Ramsa Wr-Da7. An analogue sounding digital mixer with amazing converters. ;)
@@ItaloBrutalo very kind of you to reply - thank you!
The thing he does with the mixer is totally original and mindblowing.... what signal does he feed the mixer with?
Watch here: Use a Mackie Mixer as a synthesizer ruclips.net/video/e7KR-_jvbvg/видео.html
Artists in the noise and experimental and electroacoustic scenes have been doing that for decades. Nothing really innovating here.
"...making music is a way to express my deepest thoughts and feelings. and i can express myself better with A hard ware than with a soft ware!"
...and he's not even blushing! :-o
no wonder about the hair on his chest! go on son!
👍
Yamaha RS7000!
Yamaha RS7000 is a very fun easy to use machine that can be had for only a few hundred dollars.
If only they've been going for crazy prices on ebay lately at least here in the states
himmelhero wow you are right I guess the hardware sequencer s are popular again.
probably the first time ive heard "juno one hundred and six"
I always try to be a "pioneer". :D
I'd love to see a tutorial on how to turn a mixer into an old synth... is that just with feedback loops? I'm curious!

Sarah Belle Reid also has a good video on this ruclips.net/video/oUhfkaVUPY8/видео.html
we need to know how this guy turned a mixer into a synth!
feedback loops, channel direct out to channel in.
never heard of no - input music? :)
ruclips.net/video/Hv1VQL4zTKc/видео.html
Self-fed feedback loops. These mixers feature both INS and OUTS per channel, so that not just connect sources on it but also you can drive a specific channel to an outboard (FX) and run it back to a different channel for final EQing. If you connect directly the OUT of one channel back to its IN, and start tweeking knobs, you'll hear sound (an annoying sine wave) and the more you tweak, the more this sound will start growing (by building up frequencies). This sound is actually the 50 or 60Hz constant frequency of home electricity, known as "white-sound", similar to tape hiss, althouh this sound can be hugely magnified, if fed to a loop, like in this case with a mixer. To understand how powerful this gheto-synth is, people have actualy blown up whole soundsystems by accidentaly connecting a channel to itself (and with EQ/gain forgotten on high values). The only drawback is that you get only 1 note (non-chromatic sound), so you need to sample it somewhere but from there you play it chromaticaly (with notes like in a piano).
Will make a video soon to show exactly my way of working with that technique. Like i mentioned in the Tech Talk it´s polyphonic how i do it. So i have more than 1 voice, i can tune it and i can simulate LFO modulation. It´s also possible to make small 2 - 3 notes arpeggios.
Italo Brutalo Do this video, I've only succeeded doing it like I described in my other comment. I'm really interrested to see how this can be elaborated more! 👍
Parece que estoy escuchando el inicio de una canción de Daft Punk
Nothing left to say.. ;)
That white piece of gear under the studio electronics synth? Anyone, guys? Thanks a lot!!
Nice studio design too, damn!!
It's a Crumar Bit-01 in a rare white rackversion.
Telekom Electronic Beats Yeah!! Thank you VERY much 😉 !!
yep, it sure is. Used to have it in black, bought from one of the founders of Kompakt maybe 15 years ago. Has a very raw sound, but it takes ages to program. It's like "type in number of parameter, then use + or - buttons to dial in the value, choose next parameter, .... One of the few synths I ever regret selling back then, cause I'm pretty sure I'd be less annoyed by the interface nowadays. Shouldn't be so rare for that guy though, since it's an old school Italian synth :)
Love the italian accent))
I think he is German
Bavarian 😉
:D
the tanktop is a tribute to the Italo and the hair on his chest to the brutalo
As an Italian, I find this guy mildly offensive.
Also für EB.TV kann man sich doch mal ein richtiges Shirt anziehen! Ansonsten, gutes Feature, nice gear! Aber ein Mackie 1202 für 50 EUROs? No way! ;-D
Funktioniert ja auch mit anderen Mixern und nen richtig abgerockten Mackie findet man schon ab und an für‘n Fuffi.
how does he uses that mackie? I don' t get it. like a 101? wtf? ! min 2:56 ?

whats the track at 3:52???
Italo beutalo - Spy in the sky
WTF I need a sliding rack draw for my MPC
It´s really helpful sometimes, yes. ;)
@@Italo_Brutalo It looks cash money too, which is the important thing dude
whats the song at 1:10 ?
spy in the sky - italo brutalo
@@sylwa9230 THANK YOU MAN.
So this guy is German, has a Italy in his name, and looks Slavic.
And looks like middle italian 70-80 years
Haha! You´re right. But i am not 100% german to be honest. There are indeed some slavic roots. ;)
Always good to use a Rolex when you mix
timing is everything ;-)
Helps a lot ;-)
It´s for the brilliant sound.
Super Studio 👍👍👍...so soll das sein!
" nooou. ids no 101! nooou"
See? Freddie's NOT dead:)
Too many issues with Brian. That´s why i started Italo Brutalo. ;)
Are you kidding me with that delay toy!
This is the way to make music, not that "easy lazy ass in the box shit" This is the way some of the greats tracks was made with hardward
there are no rules to music, idiot.
Seriously... I remember the days when I was using HW only because HW was the only thing there was. (I bought my first synth in 94) It took me ages to make music, and most of it still sounded like total crap. Hell, some of my gear (like that Crumar Bit 01 for example) was a total bitch to program. I've slowly seen SW synths evolve from sounding like total crap to utterly fantastic. Even today, I often make guests in my studio close their eyes to compare some sounds from vintage analog HW synths I have here to some of my plugins. They can't tell the difference. Just because you use SW or stay ITB doesn't make you a lazy producer. What makes you a lazy producer is when you start using loops all the time, and don't even bother to change them just a tiny bit. It's when you don't even bother to learn your sound design so all you can do is use presets instead of programming your own sounds. Electronic music is made with electronic instruments, and technology has moved forward. It makes things easier, sure, but it also opens up a HUGE world of possibilities sound wise which you simply didn't have back then. All of that stuff, HW or SW, it's just an instrument, a TOOL, it's YOU who decides what you do with it in the end...
Sitzt einfach im Unterhemd da😂😂
How the hell is a no-input mixer "polyphonic"? 🤔
Rolex, Kangol & a wifebeater. Not to mention a carefully curated home studio. I dont have to listen to like.
ma perchè in canottiera e coppola? mafia italian style? ahahha
AHHHAHAH.....VERO!!!!
Forse perché predilige un suono retrò tipo la italo disco? Quindi ha dato alla sua immagine uno stile retrò italiano come la coppola e la canottiera bianca.. io ho fatto questo ragionamento.
No way this Mackie mixer had 50 years ols! Or maybe I didnt' understand...
he said it cost 50 euros
Ah ok. Sorry for this misunderstood statement!
yeah outputs of the mixer going back into inputs of the channels
This dude is cringe, but at least he's not attrmpting at a "it's-a me" parody type accent.
