@@pixelatedbeatz it depends what kind of samples you are looking for. Not that long time ago I got Divine 909 sample pack from Elektron for 909 drums of course. And it became my favorite 909 pack. Also Slate Digital 808 and 909 packs are super good quality. This when it comes to drums. For more melodic stuff I am usually “splicing” for some good stuff and them might gram an entire pack. Also! Samplestar Essential One Shot collection (not sure if this is exact pack name, but for sure something like that) is a great one for both drums and melodic stuff.

Thank Alex! I really appreciate your kind words! ✌️ Regarding the walkthrough I kinda do it in this video! I just cut some boring parts of a longer video, but the whole process is more or less there. The only thing I do outside of this video is the post processing of the final tracks. Basically these takes that I play at the end of each track. I take this parts into Ableton and run them through a Glue Compressor, Analog Heat Saturation and Ozone 9 mastering. I think this is what makes them sound like "a finished track". Also when I play I add +3dB in volume, since there is no voice to fight against and there is a room for a better listening experience. Hope that makes sense. Feel free to ask any more specific question regarding this performance. More than happy to answer!

@@IhorMedia So many thx for getting back to me Ihor... Well, what I meant (and sorry I did'nt express myself properly) was: it sounds like a finished track in terms of arrangement, though obviously you are improvising... I'm a total beginner in Techno and I've been trying to find advise on what is the thinking process when performing all these sounds together. I understand that first you put sounds together in a kind of pack (pattern). But then, when it comes to performing, what do you do to make it sound so good?... While performing, are you just randomly applying FX, muting and unmuting sounds here and there, or what is it that people do so it makes sense? Are you thinking about dynamics while performing? I mean, I can totally see what you are doing on the video, but I don't quite get it... I hope to have explained myself better. Sorry if I ask to basic questions. Most appreciate it!

@IhorMedia

2 жыл бұрын

​@@alexfr811 these are not "basic" questions tho. Quite relevant! So first yes, I do some kind of a pattern. Then I try to play it. Hear with my ears and brain what makes sense, what not. I don't think that much about dynamics. Not intentionally at least. But there will always be some kind of structure. Most Techno tracks will be something like: Intro => Buildup => Drop => Break => Drop => Break => Break down => Outro. Then you have to practice playing these parts. And there are many techniques to play. For the DT most common would be: pattern change, mute/unmute, mixer page, effects, filter cutoff, track + anything (that changes this param on all the tracks simultaneously), fills, etc. I don't think I do anything randomly, but rather with intention. Hope that makes sense. But honestly, it is all about practicing this. I'd recommend you to start with pattern change. Make one full busy pattern. Then copy paste it over 8 patterns. Then go and remove something in first one, remove something else in second one, change something yet else in the third one. Then play them one after another and listen to carefully. Think if you like this transition or not. Then try other techniques. For example if you have a kick drum + bassline going, unmuting an open hihat always works, it kinda speeds up the whole thing. Then unmuting clap. And so on. Another recommendation would be to listen to music actively. Try to listen to some tracks and break them down: there goes intro, here goes drop, there goes break. Try to understand what transitions people make. What do they add? How they do it? When? What they remove? How? When? You could also try to understand the "Why?", but this one is quite tough and subjective. But will be helpful. And practice, practice, practice. At the end you are playing an instrument. Yes, I see the DT as an instrument. You get better with time spent on practice. At least this is how I do it! You gave me ab idea for a video tho... seems like I can talk about this for a while.

@@IhorMedia right on!!... Exactly that was my question about... And I would loooove to see a video on that pls!... If you do make it, would pls focus on live performances?... There are tons of tutorials on arrangement from the perspective of a producer, but haven't been able to find anything on the thinking process of arranging and performing live, except for a couple of videos with Saytek where he says he doesn't arrange anything. Basically, he says that he puts a few loops together and then he drops them whenever he feels it right, however, he doesn't elaborate on that and honestly I think there's so much more involved in that process of playing live. As a drummer I've played jazz for years, but here the improvisational process doesn't seem to work the same way, does it? 🤔

I am not sure how it set by default in yours, but I usually disable that by going into Settings -> MIDI -> Channels and disabling all the channels for tracks and whatnot. With these disabled your Sound tracks won’t send or receive any MIDI. Wish you good time with learning it! It is so fun! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! ✌️

And now let me try to answer your questions. Q: how to open New Project?? A: User Manual 15.1.1 LOAD PROJECT Q: Can the DT sequencer sequence Modules via Polyend Poly2? A: Off course it can! The DT MIDI sequencer is really good and flexible! Tracks 9-16 are dedicated to that. You can read more about it in the User Manual 12. MIDI TRACK PARAMETERS. Q: About the hot Eurorack levels and a mixer A: Well, it is all a matter of numbers. Mackie Pro can handle up to +22dBu on all inputs before it starts clipping. Which is quite a lot even for Eurorack signal. However as the best practice I wouldd still recommend having a mixer or an output module like Stereo Line Out 1U from intellijel or similar. This will give you more hands on control on the levels on the Modular system itself, which it quite handy.

2 жыл бұрын

It depends. Digitakt is better in some ways. For example I like that it has 2 filters per track, 8 MIDI tracks and the fact that I can connect 2 mono synth to it and split inputs as 2 independent. Also Digitakt is great from my KZread videos. It is small and straightforward. Rytm is a drum synth first of all. Hence I approach it as a sound design tool. Also Rytm gives much more performance tools. In a nutshell if I had to choose one taking the price out of the equation - it would be the DT.

a slower in depth explanation of everything you do in the performance would be killer.
