The point where the top your head comes in is definitely when your brain was like “I’m feeling this jam” and you forgot about everything else and just started going with it.
Amazing job Yan ! You’re such an inspiration ! I fall in love with the Analog Four because of you (and bought one) and it was the first step of me changing my setup to something almost only « Ableton based » to a more hardware setup ! I was wondering if you already tried the Syntakt and what you think about it ? Got one and its a great piece of gear too! What made you chose the Roland groovebox instead ? Are you still producing with the A4 anyway ? Would love to see more videos of you using Elektron stuff 😎 Cheers man ! Keep rockin’ !
Thank You! Syntakt is very interesting, but I'm not sure I like how it sounds. I chose TR because I always loved the sound of 909, 808, 707, 606 and I wanted to stop using drum samples and have something more flexible and more fun, + to have all my drums in one box, so I got TR-8S now 🙃 I haven't used my A4 in a while, at the moment I'm focused on learning the TR and Novation Peak. However, more Elektron videos are coming for sure :)
@@YanCook glad to read that ! Really looking forward to watching these. I am a big fan of your productions so that's a pleasure to see you working on some gears I own 🙂(and as I said it, you're the first reason that made me bought the A4 MK2) I've been interested in the TR8-S too (as an old TR-909 then TR-8 user) but I finally took a Digitakt because of its size (and because of the Elektron workflow). I am really loving these 3 (ST/DT/A4) working together. Novation Peak looks like a monster but not really in my budget now (and I don't want to divorce 😆)
oh hell yes!! I've been having so much fun with this jambox dude. This is so inspiring. Is the kit & instrument config in your project files & stuff link by chance?
so so nice, Yan! When tuning that FM Bass it just got me. Thanks for sharing - very helpful and inspiring channel. Now thinking of buying a TR-8S, so maybe you could elaborate a bit on how you continue your work with the patterns, sound design, structure, effects etc recording multitracks in e.g. ableton. im a bit uncertain how it works: as i understand multitrack recording, effects (delay, reverb) are not routed to individual channels but to the Full Mix on channels 1-2. Is the idea to mix the Full Mix on channels 1-2 with the dry recordings? how about all the adjustment you do of specific instruments (you add reverb and delay), are they recorded into ableton on its own channel?
Sounds amazing, crazy how you do this! I'm a starting techno producer. i was wondering what helped you understand the structure of techno, and what helped you practise and master this?
Great video, just wish this guy had individual outs - is there any bleed from the l/r channels when you hard pan? For multi tracking? To be shallow, aesthetically I dont love rolands over use of multi coloured lights - their offerings over the last few years haven't aged well with that futuristic green. This is a handsome box otherwise, and your demo is super inspirational.
Exact same thoughts about the Roland gear with all the green. Never thought that was a good move on release haha! You can change the light colour in these to your liking though. And purely shallow aesthetically for me too I really love the look of this thing. It’s like a brick but in an awesome way haha! Like you say a handsome box. High on the wish list!
It has individual outs via USB. Roland's idea clearly is that you don't need additional physical outputs because the unit has huge set of intergrated effects.
Great tune. I really want to part with some pennies and get a set up looks fun. However I am bogged down with what to choose. Bare in mind I am a total noob. First I see the OP-1 (too expensive) then I see the T-8 and J-6 working perfectly together - would fit my budget nicely. But then boom! I then see this awesome little kit. I just do not know where to start. I just want to make some tunage lol. Thanks for the vide, and any help in advance 😎
@@boratezel I hadn't heard of the MPC range until now. I've just done a quick Google and it looks very cool. Would you recommend it? Like i said I'm stuck to what to buy. I just want to chill and make some trippy tunes 😁
@@judgeberry6071 I love it because it can do everything and for the price there isn't anything close to as much value. I have lots of videos on my channel using it
