For anyone coming to this later, the Deluge does now have a waveform view for setting start and end points, so you can select the start/end points graphically
Excellent video. Its interesting. No bull. Easy to follow. Not full of non stop buzzwords. Your voice records well, which is very important. I am trying to decide if I should buy the deluge. After watching many videos on it, it looks like one of the best pieces of hardware, if not THE BEST. Its so bloody impressive. Every time the video ends, i have to control myself from not buying it. So why am i not just buying it? Budget. If I do buy it, i will not buy anything major for awhile. But I figure that I will get so much pleasure from it for so long, that I won’t even think about another piece of hardware. Ahhhhh Déluge is so impressive.
Mr Wiggly, your video is dramatically underrated. I learned so much. And had happy accidents by stretching a 2 bar loop to a quarter note. Glitches and music. Thank you again, sir. An old beginner
Thanks for the video really helped me out especially the little stuff like the choke option on the hi hats.Synthstrom really hit a home run with their updated sample editing.
Recently got my Deluge with the newer firmware. Coming from always using software DAWs, I've never had more fun creating music. It feels so much more like you're actually handcrafting the music and the limitations are few and reasonable!
@@chemicastmiko sometimes a proper screen would help a lot while browsing folders. No immediate way to transpose your sequences (I think all sequencers should have it), pretty difficult to draft synth patches, no mass change of sample play modes (individually change all samples to "cut" from "once" e.g. is tedious as hell!) and the arranger don't pass filter settings etc. to next clip (different clip, same synth patch) while live performing. I still love my Deluge and the sampler is incredible to play around with. I will never regret the purchase.
@@chemicastmiko No problem! No, I didn't actually but I've read their forum of some of these topics (except the screen) so I'm pretty sure they are aware. But I agree, and the product is still planned to be updated further, so fingers crossed!
Excellent video. I've had my Deluge for about 8 months now. I used it a lot at first but then stopped for a while (busy busy), so kind of forgot how much fun it can be. And now after watching your video I'm newly inspired, thanks! Subscribed. :)
Very good tutorial. The Deluge community is really filled with a lot of helpful people with all these tutorials available. This was very well put together. Big thanks!
Really really well explained and nicely paced video! Awaiting my Deluge currently so getting a head-start with videos like this - and there's lots of little things you cover that I'm yet to see anywhere else which makes me even more excited! Look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future!
Yeah I love reverse swing, plays behind the beat basically. My Typhon has that function. I'm sure this has stereo delay. Do you know if you can split the delays so the left and right can have different parameters please.
the lack of screen make this deluge a nightmare to understand how to record sample. 3 days on it with the manual and the video and still not able do redo it .
Enjoyed this one. Perfectly paced for someone like me who has never touched the Deluge. My worry with it is the synth engine. Would be great to see a vid on the synthesis side of things.
very good lesson! Especially stop the Deluge from making music and explain what you want to do and how to get there is a good way and doin that all without FX and with simple sounds. It is all a matter of workflow to come to a result.
How long can be a recorded track? how many seconds? I would like to record some pads from my deep mind 12 and send them through the deluge, so i can play live another part. is it possible with a deluge?
More Deluge videos please. This was pretty useful. Although obviously I'm now stuck in an office without my deluge, and I want to go home and have a play. Also have you used Downrush? that's pretty useful in the whole sampling/sample management thing.
There's a setting for Audio Monitoring. Which is really smart. If you enable Smart Mode, when you plug your phones it starts monitoring the MIC so it avoids feedback. Otherwise the Line IN is always monitored.
Good video man. I've had my Deluge since the preorder days and even I picked up a couple of tips (zooming in to use the Cross-Screen edit is smart, never thought of that before!)
Preparing for my new deluge AND my first forays into music by studying up on your fantastic videos. Thank you for dropping so much knowledge in a clear, well paced, and deep manner. Cheers
I just received my Deluge the other day; having a great time learning the instrument. I really appreciate your videos and your instruction method. Thank you and I look forward to the next one!
The way you get the loop the right length by starting on the end point first (moving the start point close to the end) is really effective. Thanks for sharing.
Shift is not necessary for menue diving: In Kit Mode just hit the audition pad and the menue button you want to go! But: Shift New Kit does not work like yours, it gives me flashing Back + Load/New and then I can´t get further :-(
@@Mr.Wiggly hi, got my cable and the deluge but I'm confused: to record samples I actually need only one jack in the line in don't I ? Because there's only one line in and two output (L and R) !
@@Mr.Wiggly no problem! The weird thing is that I feel I actually can record in stereo with only one of the two cables. But I'm not sure, maybe I'm mistaken. I guess I'll have to get a stereo cable to be able to sample in stereo using the "audio in" input? Anyway I'll use this cable to hook my phone to my monitoring speakers ;)
Hi @Mr Wiggly, can you have a drum loop (for example) in the background and record a sample after a metronome count? Let's say a guitar, or an external synthesizer in sync?
