Rival Consoles - In The Studio
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 09. 2016
- Ryan Lee West is one of the key artists on London’s Erased Tapes imprint, using analog synths to create icy and inventive IDM under the name Rival Consoles.
A couple weeks ago, we traveled to Ryan’s south London studio to film his Against The Clock session. After filming he have us a full run down of his home studio and all the gear in it: his old and new synths, tape decks, guitar pedals, guitars, piano and more. If you’ve listened to his stunning recent Night Melody release and wondered how he achieves such chilling sounds, well, wonder no more - here’s the man himself to show you his set-up and how he uses it.

Piano sounds amazing
It's really inspiring to see one of my favorite artists use such an incredibly humble studio setup. I'd like to see more videos like this to combat GAS.
totally agree
whats gAS/?

I love that he uses only one synth to get such creative results. So inspiring.
please more, this guy is a genius :)
I'm so pleased you shared this.
Having one good synth and one good pedal chain is a very productive way to work.
I reset my studio more in line with this principle and am having a great time with it
Icant stop listening, in to the heart, great producer
This was the best one in the "in the studio" series
Nice to see someone else who appreciates the DD-3 as much as me.
Interesting studio setup, so minimalistic and powerful. And awesome music, no need to mention
YES! Thank you for this!
what a great guy! inspiring
He's sooo good at music, it's insane
I already love him.
No boundaries. That's what I love about what he's doing here.
Inspiring Ryan, thanks a lot! Just got the Particle and love it!
just discovered your music, and really happy to find this video seeing more of your process
this is superb. great job rival consoles and fact!!
love these videos! keep doing them please!
great guy!! I LOVE IT
I learned so much from this guy's 2 FCTMG vidseos. More of this!
Love it
Genius!
amazing
love this guy)
So simple but yet so effective. Chose your instrument and master it ie he has a moog and chooses not to use it...incredible.
That Midi Murf and Red Panda Particle sound amazing together.. or at least I assume he was playing with them both on...
MASTER!!
@FACTmagazine, I like that you chose the adjective 'icy' to describe analog synths when pretty much everyone else goes on about how 'warm' they are.
Helios @0:41, such a wonderful track :)
Wonderful! Oh and amazing! Simplicity and intuitive design! Peace Christo 👽👽🕺🕺🎶🎶👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🛸🛸🙏🙏🐕🐕🔦
This is so fucking cool. Love it.
Great bloke
🖤
Nice rig rundown and piano skills. x
lovely bg music too. good verk
rival consoles
its just Prophet 8
08
I've always wished I could have a modular synth to make music like Rival Consoles. He's my idol, yo.
You should try VCV Rack!
raw
this video is one of my biggest inspirations. I look up to rival consoles and hope to create sounds like him one day; he has such a distinct and unique voice and has an incredible palette of sounds.
I always revisit this video from time to time whenever I am lacking in creativity
Cool
a genius.
My kinda approach this, I like how he's drawn a couple of presets on his delay pedal lol
A. M. A. Z. I. N. G.
name of the last track? it starts 2:45min (beautiful), thanks for your music
2:35 like his label mate Nils ;)
IDM, please keep making it.
no acoustic treatment?! does mixing take place in this studio or elsewhere?
How does he achieve that wavy piano rhythm right at beginning before he discusses pedals? Kind of stuttery triplet rhythm
Anybody know what song he was playing for a few seconds on the piano? It's killing me. I'm pretty sure it's a very famous piece, but I can't remember what it is. I might be completely wrong too lol.
Edit: I think I remember it from a movie maybe. is it American Beauty?Or a tv show? Idk. But I love that chord progression
i made it up, it was just a bunch of chords...
It kinda sounds like modern soul by James blake
i might be wrong but think david august uses a similar chord progression quiet often. at least thats what it reminded me of.
2:00 Sounds distinctly (albeit non-intentionally) like Gerry Rafferty's sax solo from Baker Street.
Nice! What brand/model is that spring reverb?
It's the Doepfer a-199
The electronic Lionel Messi
Shut up
where can i get one of those micro spring reverbs?
Also was going to ask this. Looks almost like a kit you can order and assemble yourself.
Belton does these. You have to buy the tank separated from the springs. Go check their website
He uses the A-199 SpringReverb modular from Doepfer
Corentin Bossard
seems belton only does them in bulk? the site ask you to inquire for a quote which usually means high $
i just emailed them hopefully no one calls my cell and starts speaking Hangul lol
What is the track at the start of the video? Is it Rival Consoles?
yes, Johannesburg - from: Night Melody EP
Why don’t we spotlight all the sift synths, DAWs and plugins used besides the hardware??
because in this case 95% of the synth sounds in every song are the prophet 8. from Odyssey to now.
anyone know the track name at the end of the video ?
Yes. Look into Rival Consoles' private Soundcloud. This should be one of the earlier sketches and tracks not published by Erased Tapes
Anyone know what the synth at 3:02 is called?
Microkorg
What microphone is he using?
Looks like a Rode nt2... Seems to be a wise choice if he uses the piano as a stetching tool
What's a spring reverb? XD
No DD3 this is a DD7 ! :)
no it is not a dd7
oh how much cost its (without piano)
A good 5 to 10 grand or more
TIL spring reverbs have actual springs in them 😛
not all of them, just a specific type:)
TheGreenwood03 well, if a "spring reverb" doesn't have a spring in it, it's an emulation of a spring reverb, not actually a spring reverb. they do have the same kinda sound tho
but u cant punch an emulation ang get that crash fx
Monitors?
Mackie hr824
You can never have enough reverb and delay
And the drums?????
his voice sounds like Damon Albarn
or Eric Prydz, similar mannerisms
Don't put everything through a spring reverb kids!....
too late. I'm on my way to E.R. right now
Inspiring video, thanks for the tips and nice MI Quad VCA dawg.
