OMG! Look At Martin Buttrich (Loco Dice, Timo Maas) Studio!!! Can you ID The Gear???

[Careyn]

Dont mean to make you guys jealous but I always liked this guys sound... so I typed in martin buttrich and this video came up...
Holy living ****! There must be over 100.000 worth of gear in there!
Can anybody ID what he is using?

Slices - Tech Talk: Martin Buttrich

[Phaidon]

Yes,I actually have this issue of Slices.
He is got pretty much everything/standard: 1178s.Eventides,Neve.UA-2192, blah-blah...
The Oram EQ might be one of the non-standard maybe. Lovely piece of kit though!

Nice open space btw!

[Mark Andrews]

I watched that ages ago, I want a Vari-Mu bad

Manley Vari-Mu
Manley Massive passive
Urei 1178
Teletronix / UREI LA-2A

GML 8200
Alan Smart C2

Shit no wonder timo maas was so succesful!
This probably took a while to build and aaa looooot of money! No doubt!
But it is not the gear its probably the guy who is using them.
Put me in there I probably wouldn't know where to start.

He said he used to have a mackie.

So was the loud album mixed out on a 32-8?

What board is that?


I have been toying with the idea of adding a few bits and pieces of hardware maybe a few dynamics contol stuff a mixer converters and taking a different approach but I have been reading a lot of computer music and the main advise the give is stay in the box.

Don't mean to start a hardware vs software debate but do you guys think a dance producer in 2009 needs all that to sound realy good like that or are there alternatives?

[PeteJames]

Wow, thanks for this - Buttrich is one of my favourite producers. I think he's behind half of the German DJ/Producers!

[Reptil]

LOL
D&R
I almost bought one late last year, exactly the same.
good desks - not spectacular but good quality, and all the options.


nice setup, friendly (down to earth) guy, good hybrid setup.
the neve rack is fekking slutty.
thanks for posting the video.

he talks about that in the video
other guys can do it on a laptop, he says he needs gear.
and he likes to turn knobs
IMO probably he can work on a laptop if he has to. (it's not the gear but it helps)
but he wants fast and he wants to turn knobs. so... analogue/DAW hybrid

I find that the people in these interviews rarely tend to waste time in the studio or on-line on this question. They use what works, and they choose what works, instead of wasting time or losing sleep over the matter.

There's nothing that holds you back from using both and taking advantage of both. Every page wasted on analog/digital, hardware/software is a strange form of obsessive compulsive disorder - nothing holds you back.

...save for a bunch of people on messageboards...

...who aren't working with your studio or doing the production for you anyway.

Constrained art can be fun - constrained thinking isn't .

[Denis Goekdag]

the desk is a heavily modified soundtracs "Eric" IIRC.

[FeelAudio(Matt)]

yeah buttrich is one of my inspirations 2 :D

Hey dude 99.9% of Martins sound will come from his head and his hands, what your seeing there are just his tools of choice.

Yeah no doubt its not about the car its about the driver.
I bet he could still make music sound good on a computer but I thought this is an interesting studio and a different approach.

Why are the Germans so obsessed with being the fastest to produce a song? I'm watching slices Booka Shade and the guy has a trophy for being the fastest producer in 2003....


P.S. Martin mention in the video that he likes to work fast and made a point of it.

[ekwipt]

Time is money, he's producing for other people as well, the more he pumps out the more money he makes.

Great producer

[asynchro_nous]

I think it's very easy to mistake the speed comments as some sort of obsession with productivity -- the point is more along the lines of having a studio with as little impedance of flow as possible for creativity to materialize freely.

I like to work fast too. The idea gets turned into a song. If I get slowed down (programming some synth) I'll lose the flow (sometimes).

I'm wiv ya !

[Reptil]

I think it's a fase - to get everything perfect. some ppl. never outgrow it.
OTOH - the guy's saying that - but he's very discriminate about his gear. I don't see a dirty cheap machine anywhere. good for him, don't get me wrong, but it's not like this guy doesn't care anymore - not with a rack of neve he isn't!

btw -- on 2CB you actually CAN see the grass grow. mmm
and if you really concentrate - hear it as well

Nice to see the Oram HI DEF 35 in the rack.
Fantastic for low end work with an EQ down to 35Hz.

Available here at ORAM PROFESSIONAL AUDIO

Yeah, I see him at Fabric not long after 'Full Clip' was released. When he dropped it... Well you can imagine
