In The Studio with Deadbeat | Thomann

We had the chance to meet Dubtechno maestro Deadbeat in his Berlin studio. He showed us his workflow, talks about hardware vs. software and lets us know the Korg MS10 is one of his favorite synths ever.

Interesting bits and pieces:
0:00 Intro
2:46 On Digital and Analog Technology
5:00 Sound Poerty
6:17 On The MS-10
11:40 Inside The Box
17:56 Sidechain Compression
22:35 Using Vocoders To Create Dub Chords

I really like these videos that you guys are doing where the artist just gets to ramble on and show his methodology and techniques without any heavy-handed editorial comment or product focus that is found in some other types of channels.

Please shoot more like this. The cinematography is amazing and so is the techno.

Can't agree more on the philosophy and the T-shirt.
Scott's energy is so special, that I felt myself like talking to him in a room (or a space?). Great to see him doing what he does best, healthy, inspired and with shining eyes. Mine do shine too, watching him talking and recording with passion throughout the years. 
Great vocoder trick!
Thank you, Scott!

Haha, this brings back some memories. He gave me a drink token once, long ago. Must've been right after Vampire dropped. He came up to the bar right after his live set. Saw me absolutely, totally, uhm let's say, wide-eyed with excitement and in a state of obvious bliss. Told me I looked like I was enjoying myself, and to have a drink on him. That was a great night.

Nice to get a glimpse at his workflow.

I like some free-style talk, Deadbeat is very passionate about music and tech in general. good job!

Oww this building hosts so many legends

Absolutely loved this - thanks to Deadbeat for sharing his work flow, and for yourselves for filming and sharing!

@21:31 Love when he explains the air pressure being changed in a room and how it applies to sidechain because at some point, it’s not adding or even removing instruments that makes a track great. The concept of playing with negative space is one that fascinates me. Would love to know if you use this in other ways than sidechaining Scott.

Hey! Thank you so kuch for this! The vocoder technique was unknown for me and that gives me the last missing type of sound/groove i was looking for! 🎉🎉🎉

[myceliumtechno]

What a great guy. Never new this was him. Truly love his music.
