In this new edition of our Electronic Beats Tech Talk series we step into the world of Romanian, Vienna raised producer and live act Arthur Robert, who you may be familiar with through releases on Len Faki’s Figure, AMOTIK, Exos & Hassen’s Planet X and Rotterdam’s Reclaim Your City among others. Arthur’s music stands firmly in the Techno field while weaving in a variety of influences such as Jungle and Breaks to create something that sound distinctly his. He also teaches music production, specialising in Ableton.
In this video we explore Robert’s initial forays into using hardware, discover some of his regular go to pieces such as Elektron Machines and Polyphonic synths. We also touch on his approach to production which gravitates toward live, on the fly improvisations to capture things in the moment, find out more about his recording process and how he brings everything together in a DAW. The discussion also touches on mixing, effects, drum tuning and other studio topics.

Nice of people to chime with their opinions. My point is that I could use any given machine at this point and most likely extract a lot out if it due to my extensive knowledge in synthesis and sound design. Furthermore I can see the irony that saying “limit yourself” with a wall of synth behind me might seem contradictory but in fact I know most of my machines very well and it is precisely this process that enables me to work the way I do. I limit myself in the sense that I learn a machine properly first. Also whilst making music I won’t certainly use all my machines. I use a few and get them to send as good possible. That is limiting. And to close this off, I teach students operator inside Ableton. This synth is powerful but also carries limitations. Also in the way I teach it. Make as many sounds as possible from the same source. It’s not what you have it’s what you do with what you have.

He says that digitone sounds surprisingly well for a synth that costs 600-700 euros and that octatrack is limited. Once I bought novation xio for 50 bucks and it sounds very well for that price. But fm synth for 700 euros should sound well. These insights are not for me, but thanks for the content anyway - still my favorite youtube channel

Wow, super interesting approach on production. Really love that he produces everything on the fly with his gear into ableton. I think definetly is limited in some way, beacause Software Synths are way more complex most of the time.... more possibilities. You can go back and forward all the time, but that the Octratrack is a simple machine is a bit funny. :D

8 monophonic stereo tracks which you can modulate and sequence. In addition you have very crude and basic MIDI sequencer for 8 tracks (which don't support scenes). Yes, it is extremely limited. You can still do lots with it, even complete tracks.

@PabloInformation

Well How bad do you want it? Its quite easy to accumulate that amount of gear in a 10 year period which is how long he mentioned he was developing his current work flow....Its actually only 2K or Less per year on gear! & (Ps. buy used)... But you have to be willing to make sacrifices to have the extra cash if your disposable income is low ....for example just don't go parting ,drinking or buying girls stuff & you'll save up a good chunk even with a minimum paying job. question is are you willing to make sacrifices for your dreams? if not you'll never have anything ...if so its actually quite easy Ps: my advice comes from 1st hand experience doing exactly what i proposed.

@TheBroDotTV Yes, that's the point, to limit yourself to a few tools per track when producing, regardless of the quantity you have there. If you don't do that, you'll rarely get a result. I speak from my own experience. And if you've seen the whole interview, he also says that he only teaches his students with Ableton so that they see that it's enough to make official tracks and that you don't need a studio full of gear.

I wouldn't call them limited either. Limited compared to computer, but with the combination of his studio I would call it unlimited. I have most of the Elektron stuff and I would say with Ableton it is limitless. Especially with those synths added.

Very nice, but to call the octatrack limited... as he says: in the way he uses it. The OT can take users in numerous directions and is know for a steep learning curve, but extreme depth. There are hardly two users using it in the same way...
@ElectronicBeatsTV

To be fair, the learning curve is also so steep because of the countless submenus and double assignments. There's not much else like it, which is why many people find it very difficult at first.

Always a big debate on this, whether to tune drums or not
@ElectronicBeatsTV
@ElectronicBeatsTV 3 месяца назад
@BaltimoreReese That's not really a debate. At a professional level, drum tuning is a must. For a lot of people, it's just a matter of choosing the sounds that fit together by ear. There are different ways, the important thing is that the drum sounds and bass etc. fit together harmoniously and don't clash. If this is not the case, you have to tune accordingly to create a rounded overall picture. Exceptions prove the rule. Here is a video which goes more into detail ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aJycZ4zVYu4.html
@ExpectResistance
@ExpectResistance 3 месяца назад
It always surprises me when creatives talk about sound creation, experimentation, using your ears but then also have difficulty in accepting drums/bass not all tuned. Tuning your drums and bass is a preference, it’s subjective. It is very possible to create interesting sounds and music using both approaches.
@ElectronicBeatsTV
@ElectronicBeatsTV 3 месяца назад
@ExpectResistance In the end, everything is subjective. Some people intuitively choose sounds that fit together harmonically, others tune the ones they want to use. That doesn't mean that untuned sounds can't sound interesting in context. But there is a reason why bands tune their instruments so that they harmonize with each other. It's no different with electronic music.
