Ep 31: Deadmau5 steals Billy Corgan’s dream synth

Specifying a six-item studio this time is production superstar and label owner Joel Zimmerman, aka Deadmau5. Joel is an unapologetic tech nerd and studio wizard and already has a mind-meltingly kit-packed studio. But how will the man who has everything cope with our semi-strict rules? In this episode, find out which guitar pedal he describes as his “Frank’s hot sauce for distortion”, why dry vocal booths aren’t for him and which synthesizer he’d steal from the Smashing Pumpkins frontman.

Imagine being able to make your perfect studio. Where would it be? What would it look like? And if you only had six pieces of gear to choose from, what would they be? This is exactly what we ask of guest artists, producers and industry figureheads. It might sound easy but there are strict rules in the Forever Studio. Hosts and shameless nerds Chris Barker and Will Betts guide guests through the dramatic journey to studio foreverdom. There will be nostalgia. There will be anecdotes. There may be gags. But there will be no bundles! It’s MusicTech’s My Forever Studio Podcast.
