not many know this.. Aditya Modi acted as a child artist in Nayagan movie as Kamalhasan's grandson..
my dream of becoming a sound engineer just flew out of the window due to financial constraints because in Chennai there was only SAE institute back in 2001 which was charging Rs.1.5 lakhs for a sound engineering course.. I didnt want to burden my Dad, so I met the legendry Mr. H Sridhar in 2001 and unfortunately he said he doesnt have an open spot in his team.. so as an Indian middle class guy i had to bury my dreams and went on to complete MBA, work for different corporates and settled in the US. After family and kids i consoled myself that there is a reason for everything.. so i always envy these guys Adithya Modi, Suresh Permal and Karthik 🙂❤ cheers to you guys, you are at least doing what you love in life..
ARR Sir you are a great inspiration to all of us.. Especially i admire you so much for The Sunshine Orchestra.. ❤
Brother... may be you didn't succeed your dream... but you achieved something. having a better life and family. because still people out there lost their whole life chasing their dream. people can praise them because of their not give-up mentality. but end of the life what they had?. so don't worry. you are also a winner in your life... God bless you
Big love to Aditya for showing us around Firdaus during the expo. What an amazing facility.
Hmm..!!! Bombay dreams ❤❤
I was authorized to handle Mr. Rahman at Sufi Routes, Delhi a few years back. From picking him up from the airport to his stay & travel, I spent a few hours of my life with him. The aura that the man has is infectious. Got to see him perform live from the stage itself. His musicians are also phenomenal.
You do speak good English too...❤❤
Finally we get to hear the audio engineer Rahman and he is suddenly so articulate and no more bashful!! Awesome studio!
I had a chance to visit Firdaus studio in December 23, very different feeling to be in AR Rahman's studios.
A R Rahman has always embraced technology. Steps ahead in his vision of the possibilities. Audio tech industry can have so many new ideas come to life with the collaboration between artists, engineers and developers.
Ar Rahman songs literally teleports the listener to a new dimension.especially the songs frm Roja,Bombay, thiruda thiruda, rangeela, dilse nd lot more..he ruled the 90s music scenario nd reinvented indian music to a new era
ARR -- the one man who radically changed how Indian music was produced and sounded with the album Roja... the effect of his works still echoes to this day, basically, everyone just followed him since then.
Ar Rahman Sir is a genius and a great fighter. He is a self-made person. He reached this position by himself only. He is an inspiration for everybody. I am proud of him because he is from South India.

Hey Legend,
From an audiophile
Thanks for the Studio and your service to Music.
Let's bring the world together with Music.
Love and Hugs Rahman😊❤
I always wondered how he was able to produce such world class sound sitting in india where his peers were clueless about most of the technical stuff! If you compare the songs produced by him during 90’s with western hits, he was at per or even better in cases! Such an advanced mind! Got to know a lot about the secrets! 😇
Absolutely!
One of the legends of world music.
In 90s he was having only his homestudio built converting his carrage
India Pride ARR❤
Whenever we meet Mr. Shiraz Uppal, he speaks highly of Mr. AR Rahaman especially about how he helped him in his journey.
Awestruck by our Chennai Mate #ARR ji, what he has done to this world and for it's reckoning soul in peace ✌️ (MUSIC) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Great to hear stories from the past. Amazing to think ARR sir had to manually enter all the CC parameters for every note. And the size of those equipments! Would have been so painstaking. Only when you hear these accounts , one can truly appreciate how far technology has come today :) would be a dream come true to visit this studio someday.
AR and Adi you are at the limit of technology and music creation!!!! Grand, gorgeous and greatly innovative. No words ....
Stay blessed always.
Indan pride ARR ❤
my musical kingmaker monster terrific mass rocking hero always thalaivARR godfather creates treat magical 🎼🎼🎼👑💪❤️🔥🥰🤩😍
Not surprised but A R is a great a musician & great business man as well, understanding what's the requirement in UAE and all over the world by understanding small small problems in the studios faced by artists and solving them with high tech equipments and attracting the clients.
That's true. He is a musical and brand enterpreneur to put it blunty. In kamini matha's book, Subhash Ghai told even in late 90's AR was a good business men. We are very fortunate to have him
Music Scientist!
Yes bro this is 100% true
I loved what ARR said in one of the interviews, I'm paraphrasing here, that whatever he wants to do, he wants to do it the best. For example, he told Maniratnam that he wanted to work with best lyricists.
If he wants everything to be best then why did he sing his own songs?
@@dvdzonenz2 Becoz he is the best. Who are you?
@@dvdzonenz2bcoz he sings great, now whats ur point? Even Shankar Mahadevan approves, now?
@@dvdzonenz2hope you are ignorant of his singing in guru, dilse, swades and many more his tamil numbers
Please use a Lav Mic for such interviews SOS...making a niche studio sound and you do sound with direct wireless Mic seems...low-fi not a pro level recording...actually Boom shud have been used or least Lav Mic plugged in... and the constant Shirt rub against the concealed ARR Sir's Mic is to be noted...too...I would not have minded all these if the name is not A R Rahman...huge love and respect for him❤
வாழ்த்துகள் 💜
Trade Mark icon ARR 💥🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰 past present future ARR ONLY
Wow, two very interesting people and the main desk and rooms at Firdaus are a sight to behold. I guess, where else would it be but Dubai. Great doco Sound On Sound.
Inspiring ..
Amazing ..
God Of Music ..
Mr. A. R. Rahman Sir ..
❤❤
GOAT 🐐
I still think Roja and Bombay are knockout.Play them all the time.
So nice to hear studio history from legend himself
Visiting once this studio, will be a life time achievement.
Thank you sir ARR, for such innovative work
Wow, such a fantastic facility!!
This is truly very inspiring indeed. The music bits are phenomenal
Wow this place is a dream
I loved Rahman songs when he composed with limited technology.
Bit now with high technology --------???????????
His all storage finished no new creation ???? Same same he will repeat his own creation????? Recording quality 200% good ok but------- creation????.?
@@bossraaja1267do you think millienels encourage creativity or shit called trend
Music is not something which you try to create, it comes natural for some for whom it doesn't stop till they exist.
Music precious...gift.. blessings for life..🎶🌿🎹
Good job Aditya. BTW AR, love the glasses and the green shirt. 😊 All the best 🙏🏼
Legendry. Composing by trial and error method along with generous collaboration. There are composers who write notes on paper and magic happens when musicians just play it. No trial. No error. Just pure magic.
excellent share.. loved it. Learnt a lot about the gears..
Alla Rakha Rehman Sir, I was literally in the heavens when I heard Roja songs. I am not qualified to comment about your Studio. However you are a true genius I want to meet you atleast once in my lifetime. I pray God for that day and occasion. Hat,'s off Sir for the giving the AMRIT of music 🎵🎵🎵 Jai Ho
Since he released many floo songs for the last ten years, I would recommend AR to bring back his old instruments and working style. Now, I can see the gaps in his recent compositions.
Wow Rahman sir .......❤
Amazing... Avesome... Magnificent...On The Exploration On Dream Studios... Damn Futuristic...🙏👍🔥
Great Great Great....
MUSIC...............AS ENIGMATIC AND DEEP AS EVER..............I REALLY CANT STILL BELIEVE THAT IT CAN CURE WORST MENTAL ILLNESSES ALSO, INCLUDING SCHIZO................ITS TRUE!!!!!
Marvelous!
He is so happy like a child whe he was talking about all those sound mixers. ❤❤❤
Wow!!!❤❤❤
He's so well spoken and well educated. I had a different impression about him.
A Paradise indeed❤
Long time due. Legend!
Dream ❤
❤ the studio and the explanation 🎉
You have made a wonderful & ultimate modern studio in the world Mr. A.R. RAHMAN . Proud to be an INDIAN Musician.👆👍🤝👏👏
So good.

Aditya Sir ❤️

Out of 130 crore Indians, at least 1000 will get what AR is talking about music and music related technical computers and softwares. Because india just know movie music and thats it
there r a lot more than 1000 genius av techs in india.
Not everyone wants to become sound engineer u know😂
I'm one.. Let's find the other 999. 😂
@@siddhantdutta6333I'm the two...search for 998😂
Very true
Great human Rahman sir, my humble pray wishes to your music journey.
Very nice,and intresting, innovative,
You must get Simon Shaheen and orhcestrate some of his pieces on/with firdaus and the orchestra, also guys like Dhaffer Youseff, Rabih Abou Khalil and even Kayhan Kalhor, these guys are a generation of original sound! - much love from madras, tamil nadu - sir john piraan
Great effort towards establishing the fact 💯 full power to you all lovely people out there 🙏 keep rocking this planet 👍✌️🤘👌👊💗🕊️✨

Fusion always been your process sir 🫶
Quite a learning :)
Music is not that easy... Still Stereo is my preferred sound mode 😊... Great work AR sir...
❤ from DONGRYA movie team
Can't wait to visit for Manny's mixing class.
I think the edit on this could have been better. Imo there could have been more b roll while they were talking. They would be talking about something and I would expect to see more of the camera switch to what they were talking about but it felt static at times.
Very nice sir 🎉ar Rahman sir 🎉good best 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
panchathan my fav one
wow
Nice
Great work..also try to know what is true high fidelity sound recording and reproduction.... which is actually feels natural to human ears..if properly done with authentic vintage equipments. India is still need to develop toward this topic.... Controlling vision/video is might simpler but controling audio/sound is only possible throughout experience and true understanding....
💯👌🎵🎼🎹AR R
Finally boils down to loops and samples, the MSV tharatharadha IS music. ARR knows that. I am sure.

Inspiring

Great Proportions. Apart from theatre Experiences, Hiqh Quality Indian music especially Tamil is not available. If Mr Rahman could create Magic with AI he can offer us Remastered old Music of Giants like MSV, KVM others & Ilayaraja & his music too it would great. We long for high quality audio (irrespective of good listening equipments)
நமக்கு பாட்டும் நானே பாவமும் நானே, எனக்கும் இடம் உண்டு , மன்னானாலும் திருச்செந்தூரில் மன்னாவேன்,தனிகைமலைப் படிகள் எல்லாம் திருப்புகழ் பாடும், இயற்கை எனும் இளைய கன்னி, இதுவே போதும்ப்பா!!! babu madurai
