What is IDM?
Thanks Tracklib for sponsoring this video! In this video I show the process of how I usually make electronic music. I use a very nice combo of an Octatrack with a Syntakt. I use Elektron Sequencer quite a lot. I love how deep and flexible it is. But the best pert is it's immediacy.

🌍 Hello World! My name is Ihor.
This is my channel where I share my experiences, ideas, reviews and tutorials related to Electronic Music Production. I focus mostly on Techno and House music. In my Studio on my Music Production Desk you will find a variety of different gear like: digital and analog synth, eurorack modular, drum machine, sampler, effect, mixer, guitar pedal, MIDI controller. Also software: DAW, Ableton, VST, plugins.
I am myself an engineer and I am quite obsessed with the Music Technology and Sound Design. I like making music without a computer. I like playing Electronic Music Live with my Minimal Dawless Setup. I love Eurorack Modular Techno and always keen to talk about the modular workflow.
I strongly believe that nothing can be better than a good Dawless Techno Jam!
I watched all the Techno Tutorials on KZread! (I think)
📺 Thanks for watching! And have fun!
✌️ Peace.

Cool use of the Syntakt here. I know you're a big fan of the Rytm, for someone who has OT & Rytm do you see a the Syntakt as a worthwhile addition? I'm starting to see more videos coming out with it that are utilising better sounds so getting more interested in it but still unsure if it's overkill with those 2 already. I have a DN & A4 because I love the Elektron workflow and how easy it is to just jam about but easily multitrack into a DAW if I ever want to.
Awesome, so much inspiration 🙏🏼 Love to watch every vid!
Hey Man, on an open channel here on KZread, but just wanted to let you know as a fellow (amateur) producer I think your vids are awesome and I really appreciate what you are doing! Keep up the good work! Best, Igor (yeah, that’s my name too 😂) 🙏🏻❤🇺🇦

Happy to see another video from you. Really deep groovy track -- and using Octatrack too! 👍🏼👍🏼 I hope you're well. Keep jamming!
I'm personally extremely fond of my MPC Live + Syntakt combo so I bet it's even more wild with the octatrack.
And yes ordered the Syntakt (10 % off I can’t resist) please make some music with the new features of 1.1 firmware like chords, saw… Thank you !
I want you to know that I really enjoyed this, excellent presentation and very educational and inspirational. *Even though* my music workflow is not sample-based today, I’m giving your Tracklib link a try just because you gave me some really good ideas about how I might want to play with some samples. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make such great videos for us all.

Hey, great video! I was thinking, this is a great video, how would you go on making a track of this? Would it be possible to record notes played and their respective parameter value as medi cc into your DAW and finally edit that and play it back through the synths themselves? I'd love to see that sometime!

Thanks for watching and your question! I'd exclude the DAW from this occasion. I'd arrange and mix in the box, then practice playing it, then record a master out into a recorder.

Very curious to hear your take on song mode!
Hi Ihor, just a question: I’m considering to by some Elektron gear. What combo do you recommend? Analog Rytm + Analog 4 mk2 or Octatrack + Digitakt / Syntakt? I make deep tech - deep house sort of music.
@IhorMedia
5 ай бұрын
It is a very tricky question, to be honest! It depends on many things. Hard to answer! One thing I'd suggest though. For Deep House and Deep Tech you would need good sampler, like OT and DT. Rytm wouldn't be that great for it, A4 doesn't have samples at all. Perhaps going with OT + DT + ST would be better. I'd highly recommend watching some of the EZBOT streams on his KZread about the OT setups. Very interesting, detailed and on point.
i think best Elektron trio would be syntakt and digitone into Octatrack. Have you tried this trio, Ihor?

So if I had a few synthesisers and a drum machine running through a mixer, could I use a Octatrack as a sequencer / clock? Or does it have to be a Syntakt? I want a dawless set up and trying to figure out what I need to link everything together.
@IhorMedia
Жыл бұрын
Either of them can be a main clock or a sequencer. It is a matter of a particular setup. Though it’s quite common to have an Octatrack as the main “brain” for the dawless rig. Octatrack might be a better option for sequencing external hardware, because it has 8 dedicated MIDI tracks. While on the Syntakt you’ll have to sacrifice a track to make it MIDI.
Ihor, do you rate closed back headphones for mixing purely on elektrons? I have rytm/A4 . I ordered Beyer 770s and 1770s to test. However I hear alot on how open back is really better for mixing but also have seen views that for EDM closed back is fine for mixing. thanks!

@@IhorMedia Exactly! I'm mainly using Eurorack for drums and have a crucible for cymbal and a metal o tron and Hihats D for hat duties. I'm wondering whether I should go back into the box as these modules cost loads (comparatively) and are very specific and if I should use the eurorack more as an FX box to route stand alone boxes through a matrix mixer. Decisions decisions!
