I think the main reason peope don’t want to say anything is because they’re afraid to talk to you. I’m not going to lie, even I’m afraid to say something. It’s just natual human behavour. I wouldn’t know what so say anyways other than a simple hello.

oni kidou is right. this is a really good vid by the way. i often get song ideas in my head, and i dont have any programs other than audacity. i really want to pursue a carrer in music. and now i know all the stuff you use so now i can get some of those synthesizers when im older. lol john’s little collection of anime.

Since John like anime (don’t know how much though) he should get Rumbling Hearts. That is such a depressing anime but the story line is so well done.

Besides being afraid of talking to you, I think they simply don’t want to disturb what you are doing. I’m surprised that there’s not that many Yamaha instruments in your studios though.

Who is the vocalist in Sugar Sweet? Those vocals are really well done.

i dont know if you read these comments but i wanted to ask. where do i get equipment like synthesizers and stuff.

Jake – Teh intarwebs are your friend. Also, check a store that carries electronics, like Best Buy.

I didn’t know Best Buy sold pro audio equipment… I suggest you check out Guitar Center if there’s one near you. eBay is probably the best place to find good deals on out-of-production items. Just remember that these days, producers who use lots of hardware do so because it’s what they enjoy working with (and collecting). It’s no longer a necessity to have a huge rack, and anyone with a good computer, sound card, and speakers can produce comparable music. Of course, a setup like Kyle’s is still desirable if you’re a synth enthusiast with a big budget. I can’t say this video didn’t make me a little envious. :)

I was a little confused by your comments? No one should ever be afraid to contact me about any subject. I’m always available for comments/emails if my schedule allows. Do not worry, I’m not that cool! :-)

I do own Yamaha instruments. My first synth ever purchased was a Yamaha CS2X. I still use this synth today, but it’s in my closet reserve for swapping when I need it. (I don’t use it as much as the other tools shown) I plan to update the studio page to show all my tools someday in the future.


Kyrandian -

The vocalist’s name is “leslie”. Yes, I think they came out fantastic for the song. It is my hope to have many new songs like this if demand is high.

Jake -

I’ve collected my gear over time from sources like:

1) Sweet Water Sound
2) Guitar Center
3) Ebay
4) Craigslist

A studio is simply a collection of tools that someone uses over time. Every studio can serve a different purpose to the artist(s) owner.

I’ve collected my tools and arranged them in a way that is most compatible with my thought process. This will continue to be an ongoing process that will change daily depending on my production needs/wants.

I take my burgers very seriously, no joking! :-)

What I didn’t say in the video is that the exceed machine can be swapped with exceed2, zero or as exceed1. I keep exceed going because it’s da bomb y0! (hehe)

Let me rephrase myself. I think people are afraid to talk to you via your webcam. You said in the video people can talk to you via your webcams. Even when it’s someone not as famous as you they have a bit of a fear of saying something. Human nature to have a fear of actually speaking to someone. But for emails and IMs (sometimes) it’s different. Not actually speaking. Just typing.

Hey =), nice house and equipment. Haha, just wondering, where did you get that PIU Exceed machine? All the PIU machines seem costly…and you have 3! Awesome stuff there, Kyle! XD
