In every house there is a keeper and the keeper in this house is a master of house! This is just another level completely and yet it is house music only, and man is it fresh!
Ok. So I’ve just watched that and it was awesome. Now here’s the thing. I’d pay you for a course on how you did this. I mean like slowed down and explained in detail. Your muscle memory and seeing the possibilities is just too fast for my poor brain to keep up. I’m sure a course on the OT\DT combo would sell out. It’s not just the skills, it’s your taste in music and experience that I think we al admire. Others have made courses and I’m sure there’s a shit ton of work to create the material but I’d snap it up at a heart beat and there’s many like me who need the structure to learn the OT. Go for it… please!!!
I never not learn something from your videos Ricky! Thanks as always 🙏🏻 Also it’s nice to see you play with longer decay on drum hits. Still get the Ricky flavor but more wavey 🌊
I'm really impressed by your ability to transfer your ideas from your brain to your hardware, regardless of what you're using (besides stuff you're reviewing/discovering).
I'm playing my first live gig on friday with the OT, erica synths bassline and the blackbox as a clip launcher. Currently crunching to get the set done. Wish me luck :D
If it wasn’t such a menu diving machine.. I’d be so curious about the OT. But I will say.. your videos are always so illuminating and deep. Love this jam. You bring out the best with gear and sampling. Showing the only imitation is our mind.
Octatrack is the most weird piece of gear I ever used. It can do a lot of things in various ways, just like a DAW in the box. Due to amount of features that can be overwhelming, I would say that right strategy to learn it is selecting certain scenario of how you will use OT, then learning that part only. Step by step, you can learn the whole machine.
@@lardosian Never tried new MPCs, but besides 8 sample tracks you have 8 MIDI tracks on OCTA, plus several line inputs and possibility to do quite advanced looping/resampling on the fly. Octa can become a serious brain in the setup, because it also can be used as submixer with FX. It's limited in voice count, but almost unlimited with what you can do with them.
I like how you keep the mistakes in at the end instead of just editing them out, keeping it real! Been gassing hard for an Octatrack for a while now to compliment my other elektron boxes, just need to save up for it. You’re not helping! 😅
hey, just wanted to say that i really like ur videos! U explain very well, make cool beats, you also got a really pleasant voice and its just nice to listen to u :) U inspire me and i bet i'm not the only one!!!
I use the same technique to achieve side chain. Sometimes do filter automation sounds better than volume automation, having the Base Filter open up when the kick hit create interesting results
First, love your videos Ricky your vibe is top notch on RU-vid. Second, I read one of your comments saying you work at Novation, if I may be a little nosy, what do you do for them? That sounds like a dope job
@@RickyTinez Awesome! So pumped to hear/see this when you do! I don't have the means to at the moment but have imagined doing it since watching that vid. I'm interested in making a baby system for fx/some modulation at some point so really excited to see how you go about this.
question for ricky, maybe there's a vid on this already > where do you get your perc/drum samples for digitakt? always love your crispy hihat sounds especially! great vid as always, every time i see a ricky vid i get inspired to get the gear out and make some coole stuff!!
Not really an answer but have a look at sample packs from analog drum machines. With the samples and a bit of processing you'll be able to get where you need to be for sure. Plenty of free stuff out there from machines like the analog rytm, drumbrute, pocket operators and even sounds made from scratch
Rick, thanks you for your content, been watching your channel since po33 series . really enjoying about quality of your videos - what light do you use?
sorry for dumb question Ricky, how much time do you use octatrack? i'm new in it and i see that this is cool toy, but i completely dont understand how it works, just menu in menu :)
I think this is the Anniversary Edition... only 100 or so made and that lucky #*%+#d got one ;-) Looks really nice. I heard you might be able to get those buttons from Elektron?
Call me Dutch. And I appologize for being negative. But paying monthly ok. But paying $ 50,- for using a sample? If I release music I want to earn money, not pay? Invested time & money in gear. Like the vid though. Octatrack seems nice. Elektron draws my attention. (And since maschine 1.8.2 to 2.0 I can't get the Maschine feeling anymore.) interesting!
After I saw the Stimming video I got worried about the quality of OT converters. Can you hear any loss of quality when you sample an analog kick or bass into it? Do you use it in 24 bits? I’m looking to buy one ATM just wanted to make sure.
I can't understand for the life of me why Electron would make those clicky type writer keyboard type buttons? Their products sound amazing and seem to be really great workstations, but who in the hell chose those type of loud clicky buttons? This would literally drive me mad...SBN RESONATE
Have you seen @dialectrics' video about time stretching on the Digitact [ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FD_Jtzpy6GE.html]? I'd like to see how you could put that to use!
I just came to say I hate the backdoor way the digitakt chops samples that shit is ass cheeks ...lol. Really Elektron as company needs to fix that as well as many other things. I might get an octatrack the line .
Artist selling company shit is disgraceful. I do enjoy a lot of your material. It's too bad you cannot make dough for you instead of some goofy company.
your assertion that "modern day music makers' are those who sample other people's work is incorrect. Many musicians, sound designers and producers still make their own original audio content. Samplers are cool but using other people content/sample packs is for clip arrangers making an audio collage. and music made by musicians just sounds better.
You know what, Ricky, I had lost all the fun in making and creating. You reminded me it's about finding grooves, letting the rhythms, vibes, and excitement of discovery carry you along. I was all about nailing a perfect kick, EQ, compression, etc, then the same with every other drum element, all perfectly placed and tweaked. Then micromanaging patterns. By the time I'd done all of that life had usually caught up and time for playing was done, except there'd been ZERO playing, it was all rigid, regimented, WORK!!! Thank you for the enlightenment I desperately needed. Fired up Maschine, chopped, messed, played, and had probably the best session EVER! Literally cannot wait to get back to it! Oh, and TrackLib is a Godsend, too, registered with your link, brother, thank you. Yeah, so thank you, Thank You for everything, ''cus that what you brought to me! 🤍
I moved last weekend. No city. Kinda lonely. Ricky drops this great video. Sat eating my dinner watching it. Thanks Ricky! I've been waiting for a Tracklib sponsorship to come up again since I couldn't remember the last video it was. This was great!
Maan I should've just saved up for the Octatrack. Now I am getting a buyers remorse for the Polyend Tracker and it hasn't even arrived yet. Btw great video!
yeeeaaarrssss. it took me maybe a solid 2 months to get to a spot where i felt comfy enough to make music with it easily haha. but i didn't know the deeper workings of it all.
