James Holden's top 10 Studio gear

[gsagula2]

hauhaua fuck you!

[MadelnMachines]

James Holden's to ten pieces of junk :D I don't think they could have chose someone with less gear. Having said that it's better than someone just showing off all their riches. Those matel drums are excellent! The guy doing the video is like who the fuck is this guy lol. Reminds me of Noel Fielding, Wicked artist!

[KapteinHenk]

who brought in the flamers.. 1 year ago this was a peaceful vid with hugging music adoring hippies

[candy7ist]

ハム太郎～＾＾！！！！！！！！ｗｗ

[turanspirit]

he is a big fat rat

[woblezman]

i just think that beeing gay is a bad thing =(

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

this is pure fucking shit. why did you pollute the internet with this ?

[Theak47forall]

@d33pS3Ad1v3r oh go f yourself u freakin retard !!!

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

@Theak47forall

Why don't you S my D, and then bend over so I can F your A, and when I B my N you can just S T F U and G T F O the internet.

K ?

K !

[Theak47forall]

@d33pS3Ad1v3r braindead fool, u are a sad person u should get some attention from someone maybe your daddy can F you in the A and than you can S his D and then be relaxed and not rage on everything u see

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

@Theak47forall

Who's raging ? This video is shit. All I did was flag it as such. That's pretty much the raison d'être of youtube. Only douche here with his panties in a twist is you because someone doesn't like something you do. Obviously your butt is hurt from regular poundings, so I conclude that it is in fact YOUR daddy doing F'ing your A.

And back to the topic of the video, please explain why this video ISN'T fucking shit.

Seriously.

I defy ANYONE to highlight the merit of this clip.

[psynapsurfa]

@d33pS3Ad1v3r challenge accepted.. the merit is this... he makes some decent sounding music. not my fave by any stretch, but i can accept that it is of a decent quality, and he makes it all in this tiny, unprofessional recording space, with some of his kit costing the same as take out meal.there was no virus ti2, no polyevolver, minimoog, tr808, or no super flash software. tho he didnt show us the contents of his hardrive vst folder,so this all could be a ruse, and he uses NIkomplete!!

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

Nope. Not buying it.

at MOST, of the tracks u listen to @ home only 50% of its production comes frm the WRITING process that takes place in that studio.

Its all mastered on fabulous, highend, very expensive gear at the hands of extremely talented & highly paid mastering engineers.AND THEN u get to listen to it.

It's the most common fallacy in the bedroom producer handbook, and of course one that benefits software DAW developers in particular. that famous artist X made his hits using only daw Y

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

@d33pS3Ad1v3r

(but let's not mention the mastering process that cost thousands in man hours alone)

[Theak47forall]

@d33pS3Ad1v3r P.S K??

K!!

[Icepainted]

Hahahaha

Yes, he does all with that broken stuff, and that stuffed animals.

Imagination is the best tool.

[agltube]

Give the man some softsynths.

[dieselvisel]

I always thought james holden was an older man! hahhahaa

[alektrik]

Life in 2D - The James Holden Story

[Nuthane]

god damn he's messy

[MasterFuckOff]

@Nuthane Go kill urself soab

[bluefmjs]

Nice Bong Dude!! I can see why you're slow...

[kbrenneman3]

so all I need to become an amazing DJ is a broken keyboard and a couple of stuffed animals?

[jailbreakir]

@kbrenneman3 and a lot of imagintaion/weed

[extremeretardation]

arduino!!!!

[sevenumsix]

hahaha he is fucking stoned :p

[AlexRider001]

isn't it ironic that the interview with the most creatively brilliant of all the producers fm has ever done a video with is also the most useless interview fm has ever done a video with :D

that's because nothing can replace true creativity

not even a million-dollar-studio

[Djardjo]

emo

[javoutube1]

he's kind of gay , haha

but yeah , kind of a genius

[hetWoordvanGod]

1. crap keyboard

2. crap hamster

3. crap rat

4. crap microchip

but awesome music!

[chaayse]

goriller

[miscible21]

I thought he used Buzz exclusively to make his music. That's what led me to this video. But it looks like Cubase is running on his pc:-(

[AlexRider001]

@miscible21 he used buzz to make horizons

which is still a fantastic achievement if you ask me ^^

i dont have the time or the energy to get into buzz

i use studio one

[miscible21]

@AlexRider001 Thanks for your reply. I'll have a listen to Horizons. I was just hoping to get into Buzz as a bit of a hobby. I like the idea of getting phat sounds out of the cheapest stuff, or in this case, free stuff. I used Reason & Cubase in the past, but haven't done any production in quite sometime. Plus, I'm not willing to pay that much for software anymore. I had both on an educational licence. Thinking of using Reaper & Renoise. Thanks again.

[AlexRider001]

@miscible21 first track he brought out

19-year-old uses free software to make a track like that :D absolutely insane

[G3ra300]

Shit hole

[davolte]

wtf 5:54

[shimmywalters]

he is is the best and he will be the best, there wont be now one like him

[betospsk]

Great how a creative mind can produce such great music without having a million dollar studio!

[TheCanky]

gay

[ashishleel]

ahh man he has a big nose a bit like mine and now i dont feel so bad seeing a top producer with one.

[SonicOrbit01]

hamtaro is a great producing tool.

[MusicDAnthony]

Wow, this guy's quite the unique character

[vidz4free]

Probably the best gear into his studio are the Tannoy Reveal monitors (and 4 me too)

[CECM79]

I think this guy should invest in a mouse helmet so I dont have to look at him

[G3ra300]

shithole

[TreeKixx]

OMG I HAVE THE SAME BLINDS AS HIM!!!!

[Roelandvinken]

James Holden 23 years ago

[ritec]

lol haha james is crazy

[beakbrigade]

is james holden the creator of... nothing 93?

[john420e]

@beakbrigade Exactly, but it was a co-production between Holden & Thompson.

[themotherfuckersound]

his music is genius.....

[11akguy]

32 people where stoned when they whatched this video and seen the bong.

[hypercatjohn]

Haha he's like a massive girly hippy, I love him

[sacredgeometry]

Does the job. 

[andosmate]

Snape's son.

[thisiswraith]

@iluvtrance69 your an idiot, anyone that understands electronic music would not call james holdens music shit..

[harimaugoblok]

awesome guy, great video...

[G3ra300]

shit hole

[gilesbh06]

what a shithole

[HatredPrime]

he is doing everything to not talk about studio gear ,people who don't want to share should not be allowed to waste future nusic tutorial dvd's

[postnothing1]

@HatredPrime I'm taking it you don't know too much about Holden? The whole thing is a bit of a joke towards people copying other people copying other people. Holden wants artists to be original.. make music the way it comes naturally.. James is one of the few honest innovators in electronic music

[WonderlandsLondon]

it' s funny to see people spending hours in some millions dollar studios and producing crappy music, while there are some other in their little room producing sounds that are simply amazing, which really gives u the bump. you can buy equipment, but you can' t buy talent!!

[SonicOrbit01]

He uses hamtario alot in his music :3

[sonicbenj78]

Let me get this right. Some of you watched this video and all you could think to write was that James Holden has a messy studio, has long hair and might smoke pot? My question to you is, why are you watching youtube vids of a talented electronic music producer? Go back to watching X Factor/America Idol, stuff some more Kentucky Fried Chicken down your traps, have a Coke and shaddap... Ya fags!

[mate6mty]

@sonicbenj78 HEY man im in youtube just forthe comments section (well music and documentaries too)but the comments man ....you can write a sitcom out them and run for years...like the simpsons (probably this is where writers get their stuff now....YOUTUBE IS GREAT ,,,let everybody do what they do!! fuck it!!! its fun!!

[ThePellerhead]

@sonicbenj78 you were doing great until the "fag" part..

[sonicbenj78]

@ThePellerhead sorry - got carried away :) oh and I was using fag in the South Park Harley Rider kinda way, as in Urban Dictionaries definition "1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders." :D

[ThePellerhead]

@sonicbenj78 oh i see, still could have chosen better word mayb imo ;)

but i agree entirely with everything else you said! :)

[MsAgent10]

@sonicbenj78 let me get this right..this video sucked ass. like your faggy asslicking comment.

[sonicbenj78]

@MsAgent10 lol :)

[sonicbenj78]

@sonicbenj78 p.s. if you just took that cock out of your mouth for a second you'd realise that i'm not an asslicking fag, ya butt kisser...

[KrisRamJ]

The man's a genius. Love all this quirky gear. No wonder his music sounds so original compared to all the crap out there right now.

[fdr100100]

he looks like a fuckin girl

[2xtrbo]

When ur gay you need a hemorrhoid pillow.

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

This guy is ugly and should cut his hair

[lordoid]

@UrbanCrunkMovement So let's see your face...

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

@lordoid I look exactly like your Dad

[AlexAlcyone]

He makes great tunes but this vid comes off like inverse snobbery to me

[huevamachin]

PURPLE BONG FTW!!!

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

@huevamachin a cheap plastic bong with metal bowl FTL

[Schaezen]

5:56 was so creepy

[LedyRosa]

Джеймс Ходен... мой любимый музыкант и ди-джей. Потрясающе миксует, так вымешивает, что пробки вышибает. красавчик..

[denko238]

he looks stoned :D

[ux256]

WHAT A CHOAS....TERRIBLE!!!

[shenmue4life]

[gilbert9086]

he has a mic but how does he record with so much fucking noise?

genius none the less haha

[Ceman195]

[comptongameLA]

omg i've listened to some of his songs, but i've never seen a picture of him... my god he needs a haircut

[eiz12]

I couldn't work like this...horrible.

[Hurley0887]

Dude i have one of those Mattel Beat machines found it in my basement! Abso-fucking-lutely terrible! What a Messy Studio! lol

[11022033044055066077]

did anyone else see the bong at 2:59?

[denko238]

@11022033044055066077 yes :D

[KyostiG]

@11022033044055066077 so instead so concentrating on what he's saying now I'm looking for a god damn...oh - what a nice bong

[malvolent]

@11022033044055066077 yup that purple tube on top of the stuffed animals is in fact a bong

[enzo1st]

[TheSpiderProvider]

Noahwayne you are a fucking idiot.

[therealb3yond]

pretty pointles and no way funny, mr populair without any brains

[1971SuperLead]

I think his hemorrhoid pillow is probably his favorite item in the studio.

[noahwayne]

Annoying ugly queer twat - what a pointless interview.

[Docipede]

@noahwayne Dear Noah, you've effectively insulted Jesus. Be gone with you.
