From the beginning Richard Devine has been recognized as a great collector of gear and all kinds of technologies for audio production. Today we’ll do something we’ve never done in previous specials, giving you a complete tour of the Richard Devine’s Studio, where you can see all their amazing tools.
Check some pictures given by Richard for Designing Sound:
Finally check this video via Electronic Musician with a complete tour and gear description by Richard
Richie d is da maaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!
Richard,
Such a cool studio. Really really nice :-)
But I’m wondering; if that’s your kitchen table, where do you eat your meals???!!!
How does he keep all that gear free of dust and bugs??
He must hire a professional gear cleaner company
well, I´m think it isn´t free of bugs actually…the last picture show the kind of lifeform you can breed inside a modular synth without you notice it! scary!
well, do you really think all this hardware is crucial for designing great sounds?
Richard Devine signifies everything that is wrong with today’s gear-centric musician culture.
Richard is a great sound designer, and an awful musician, if you could call him that.
His CDs lack most of the qualities that make music so, like structure and rhythm… it is no wonder he
was dropped by Warp records after his first CD probably sold a few copies.
I remember reading an interview with him, where he bragged that just one songs of his first CD
contained thousands of sampled sounds, shame that there are not steady rhythms or anything 99% of most
humans can find appealing there.. who cares how many samples you songs have, when they all suck?
There are hundreds of very talented musicians that make real music that people like with only a
fraction of the gear that Mr. Devine has.. which proves the point that when you have real talent, you
don’t need thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gear.. you need MUSICAL talent, something that
Mr. Devine obviously doesn’t have.
X66, lately I have only been using a Macbook Pro to make my shitty music. Gotta love the haters. :-)
