Man between you, Bobeats and Cocoo I have literally set up a dope DAWless set up in my place during quarantine learning from you all. Seriously man. I am always learning on every video you make and plus you have such a dope ass vibe. Hopefully once quarantine is over imma look you up to go see your shows :)
You sir, just inspired me to make my first Dawless setup, I was so afraid to go into the Dawless setups but you just explained it so clear and I can easily search the essential equipments for myself now. Thank you for this!

Woo! I'm stoked to hear what you make! Let me know when you get up and running
Just want to tell you that your video was off the scale informative and inspiring. Looking to do solo music for yoga classes, Ambient style meditation. Trying to figure out how to do this is a one-man band playing guitar bass singing, you’ve given me some great ideas thank you so much!
that bassline contrasts beautifully with the pcm backdrop! Wonderful stuff!
Awesome vid! Great way to get some ideas for a live setup. I got into synths and making electronic music only about a year ago, and coming from a Rock / Hardcore Punk background getting a setup like this working for a live set still feels alien to me. It’s an inspiring journey though. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! 🙌🏽
Really appreciate the time you spent putting this daw-less video together. we are just starting out so thanks for the great vid.
Loved this video...hardware is a “mood.” As the young people say lol. I recently started watching your videos and your content reminds me that music should be fun. Not knowing your destination is okay. It’s the journey and experience that counts. Thanks.
I'm new to the synth world. Just got a beatstep pro and minilogue this week. This was helpful to understanding what different pieces of hardware do and how simple or complicated a setup can be.
I like what you have going here (especially as an Octatrack owner). It's not complicated, but incredibly versatile at the same time for doing things on the fly. Also, love chill type stuff with a 303 in it, first song I ever completed was in the same vein
That idea with the cue out to the SP404 is legendary! Thx for that!
Dude, this was good! So much insight into what you do in only a few minutes, and fun to watch. Thank you!

Hey man big fan. Very informative and mama mia what a groove. When you started bringing that loop in I didnt even know what to do with myself.
The way youre using the Fx from the sp404 with the octotrack is amazing men, I always get inspiration from your videos!
Well done enrique, informative, relatable & sweet tuneage vid. We like🤙
Gracias Sr. Martínez, excelente como todos sus videos!!
love the sound of the avalon. sounds better than my tb3 and tb-03 i think. might just be gasing.. nice tunage!
Thanks brother, I really appreciate this video and the hard work you must've put in.
Hey man, I've been catching up on your videos. Thanks for putting this out there and keep up the good work!

Moletron! thanks so much, really appreciate it.
Nice set up man! I like taking a look at what other artist use for their show rig. My indoor set up is: Digitakt Novation Mono Circuit Station Behringer Model D Deepmind 12d Roli Seaboard Block My outdoor set up for when we play shows in the forest is: Critter and Guitari Organelle C&G Pocket Piano Korg ES-1 Volca Sample Sometimes I love playing with equipment that is extremely limiting so that I can push the instruments to their limits and see what happens. Great video!
Nice vid. Great live setup. I always dig the background music in your videos, always deep vibes.

Great explanation ... but information overload, so many useful tips. The key lesson here is: you don’t need a lot of gear, but they need to be flexible and you need to know each piece deeply.
Interesting setup. Interesting way to add in the novation. That sp404 really brings some variation and excitement.
the color grading on your videos is always so smooth
I just did a gig with the digitakt and the 404-a and it was super duper fun! thanks for the setup video

hell yea! that sounds like a fun setup for sure.
A lot of people wondering why the DAW shade..? For me it has to do with computer meltdowns. Too many times I have been performing with my computer and run into some computer related tech glitch that completely took me out of the vibe, or out of the mix entirely. Hardware has been far more reliable. Plus there is a tactile satisfaction to it. Same reason people don't typically just use their computer keyboards but instead opt for midi controllers. It quite literally FEELS good to create on a dedicated sampler or other piece of hardware by comparison with creating exclusively in a DAW. A lot of people also appreciate the limitations hardware presents, forcing you to be creative within the bounds of the gear. This can be a lot of fun, especially when you get to know the gear and start hearing what everyone else is doing with it! Sometimes if I'm producing just within Ableton it can feel a bit too open ended and rather stale to try and start a new jam.
Excellentttt; huge help and inspiration. And sick tunes
sweet setup to jam. Looks like hella fun!
Very interesting to see how you do your sets man- alot of folk seem to worry about giving away "trade secrets" fair play to ya👍

This is awesome. Already subscribed, and I probably need to delve deeper into your channel, but it’d be cool to see your whole process-creative, technical, booking gigs, packing-up to go to a gig, setting up at a gig, performing at a gig, getting paid for a gig, packing-up from a gig, resetting back at the crib-that’s all😆😆 that’s a lot, but I’d Patreon the hell out of that👍🏽

man, I love your videos, going through them constantly and hey! kudos on the work, really. So, now that you've taken your modular bassline to most of your shows, how do you keep that one in scale with the rest of the song and whatnot. Been really cracking my head around that one. Anways, congrats on the content and thank you for sharing :)
great vid! Would love to see a follow up, maybe a bit of a vlog from the gig or even a live performance vid so we can see it in action even more.

Great video! I am just getting into the OT and it is pretty confusing. This was super helpful. Can you do a follow up or what not where you talk about routing in the OT? What machines do you use on each of the 8 tracks, and the one thing I was really hoping more info on was track 8 and your crossfader setup. How do you use it as a master? Is everything routed to that?
Very professional sounding. Found this from a future video of yours comparing octatrack to digitakt..thanx

Woo! those card things work! haha, thanks for sticking around.
love the video , I use 2 novation circuits with a Iconnectivity midi4+ to access the circuits hidden parameters using a simple novation lauch control XL. the midi 4+ has USB hub allowing 9 devices ! yes 9 midi controllers at once and IOS device also . its a monster midi processor. it also does midi filtering to correct the hardwired midi channel 1-2 of the circuit issue until its resolved :(
i was always wondering how. and now you showed me:D thanks Amazing video
@Avalon Bassline Problem. Sometimes machines had problems with "fake"-NOTE-OFF messages. Many controllers send NOTE-ON message with velocity = 0 instead of a real NOTE-OFF message. (for example-AKAI MPC 1000) This causes problems to some units. To map/transform MIDI correctly, i use a "midi solutions - eventprocessor (plus)" Maybe it's worth a try.
Thanks for the videos..Always clean..Question..How do u switch in to other songs..Or do u recommend something (controller) to keep the music continuous
Good video. Could you do a dawless-battery-powered setup? It will be interesting to see how the Roland SP-404SX/A will perform in 2018. It will be great if you have access to Electribe Sampler, OP-1 and MPC Live! ;)
Brilliantly done, thanks!
Ya the Circuits' scales does come in handy with midi. I recently picked up a FH-1 for my modular and tried it out with my Octatrack. It was alright. I then dug up my Circuit and MAN I am surprised how easier and better it is to make actual music from my modular. I think the Octa and Digi are not true Chromatic but actually pitch.
Great video. Thank you so much for the great information.
This was a gem of information! Thanks!
Very cool tunes! I wanna do a live setup with less gear. No more than 3 pieces would be ideal for myself.
Brilliant setup. Beginner here taking notes...
Gotcha.... so if I buy all of this stuff I can do this too... looks easy....understood! runs to the internet credit card first! Great video, thanks for the inspiration, subscribed:) Can you show more about your workflow with this sort of setup?
Hi Ricky T, thanks for the knowledge and the vibe. Super cool the S/R trick. I was wondering where those drum samples comes from, plus have you ever thought making a pack? (That 909 opHH’s delicious).
Great video. So thorough.
Very sweet setup, man.
Nice, that was really insightful ...
Dope! Looking forward to playing with you tonight in LA!😎🎛

Mark Circuit has slowly become my mobile midi controller because of the scale mode and it's battery power, haha. The Avalon trick worked nicely though. It can also be done with a DAW over USB!
Make more videos like this!! Also what do you think of the Kaoscilator?

Hey man, great video as always. I’m pretty new to synths and I’m trying to build my own setup. My question is, what are you using as your amplification system?
Thanks Enrique! I didn't think about using the cue track, I'm going to see what happens if I feed the cue signal to the op1 as external effect and back into the octatrack ;)
You've already lost me bro. I love that your dawless though. MUSIC! What a thing it is.
Pretty cool. Could the Circuit be a stand-alone box to play with like a groove box type of idea? Getting started. What is the Avalon for again? Which two box combos could you get by with again..
That’s pretty cool using the sp-404sx as a effects processor.
Cool video, and you have a great way of explaining stuff.

Enrique Martinez one question where do you have the midi Going from and to the circuit, I ask because I have the bs2 and circuit, been playing with the ext in filter and using the bs2 as midi controller to setup my patterns, then playing synth1 back through bs2.
@RickyTinez

Jason Thorpe nice! That’s another setup I love using. In this setup I have Clock from Digitakt going to Circuit’s midi input (No notes just clock). Then I have Circuit’s midi Output going to the Avalon Bassline. Just so I can use Circuits ‘scale mode’ to enter in the bass notes on the Avalons sequencer.
Hey Ricky, do you know of any other dawless musicians out here besides yourself? It's ashame that you and dawless jammer are the only one's that I can find on youtube that do not use a computer. It really blows my mind because everybody uses a computer, and I here a ton of people complaining about not wanting or liking to use a laptop or computer. I'm one of those people, but I know that I can make some really nice stuff without one, and just thinking about using one makes me feel some kind of way. Anyway, if you do know anyone else that goes dawless, to maybe help guide me a little bit on how to get set up completely and know the ins and outs, I'd appreciate it. Thanks brother. We are one of many my man.
loving every one of your videos man

Great stuff man! What mixer are you using for all of your equipment? Currently in the market for a compact mixer like the K-Mix can you suggest something similar?
Ricky how does the lack of overbridge support not drive you stark raving mad? I love the octatrack but not being able to multitrack in almost 2022 is insane and theres no excuse so I sold t. In order to have a complete dawless with some more channel without buying lots more stuff the octatrack wasnta great pic. If i didnt like the 'quirk's of the octrack, what would you recomend forthe brain of my setup? Deluge or MPC LIve Two or something else? I hate memorizing combos of buttons and i LIke things laid out intuituitively. Sorry I know this is a a tall order but you're one of the few good unbiased hardware youtbue channels and I appreciate ya homie. Keep up all the good work. I have a nice modest and mature 7k modular rag, a 303 clone and the new drum machine from erica synths. That should do it with thesampler/sequencer/etc right? My moular has an instruo cs l,an antlantis, lots oof juuicy filtersa modulation etc, im good to go in that regard.
Awesome vid Enrique! No idea you had a full on youtube channel. I remember meeting you at perfect circuit for the sl mk3 intro. Besides the novation sl mk3 or octatrack, any other recommendations for a "brain" in your setup?
Very nice setup!
Very Nicely Explained 👌 Thanks 👍
that synth chords loop on the octatrack is just beautiful.. is that a chord or a couple of layered detuned oscillators i really love this sound

You make this easier to get! Your the shit bro!!!
@ricky Tinez. Nice vid. Coupla things: If you already have a sampler, or can't afford the 1200 pricetag for the octatrack, some of the smaller behringer mixers have mutes that send to a subgroup that can be routed back in to a stereo channel - e.g. the Xenix 1204 USB. They also have a pretty small footprint and cost 1000 less than the octatrack. Also, why record the midi on the Avalon.... couldn't you just record it on the circuit? Just askin.... love your stuff. ;)
Sick set up
serious talent here
just AWESOME!
Amazing video!
Well done,; you know your instruments well...
Thank you for the video!.. but how can you record the jam? Is there a tool, which catches the audio signal so you have it on a stick or whatever? And where can I put in the Boxes when DAWless?
Nice set up bro
Lol. "Real simple." Good vid man.
Hi!! Ioved it. Im a Dj, but im starting to go dawless, I´ve got a Roland Tr8. Any synth suggestions to link up w it?
Hey Ricky, your videos have been a staple in learning the digitak for me, especially the LFO vid. I wanted to ask you where you get your color coded 1/4” cables. I bought a snake and pulled it apart but they don’t seem to be that good. So what’s your source? Thanks for your credo “share the love, share the knowledge, knowledge is power, Peace’’
Hello ! Could someone help me ? The main thing i wanted to know from this video is what "role" these devices play. I think i'm missing the beginning of the whole thing. Thank you
& mastering? the rack compressors etc.. what do u say is good?
So smooth
Very constructive and inspiring! :-)
8:36 wow! first synth is great
this is very inspiring!
dope shit man!
Hey man I hope you're doing well! I've been following your channel for quite some time. I've always wondered how to get a really good sound from playing live by live looping. It seems like when I plug my computer into the PA speakers at a gig I lose some quality of my live drumming and some of my pre-recorded tracks on Ableton or my looping devices. Do you think I should get my own sound system when I play live?
Everything is great! But there is only 2 things I don't understand. Do I need to power each separately? And I know you are using a recorder right now to capture the sound, but what if I'm out in the woods or beach? Do I need to carry my speakers with me + a generator?
Briliant!!
Hey Ricky, how would you connect a keystep into this set up so you can play keys on auto channels for any selected track and instrument?
Bro so good... Just bought a novation circuit, i'll purchase the behringer rd-8 soon. I already have a push 1. Do you think I could complete my setup with a roland sp 808 ? Or it would be meaningless ? Thanks a lot !
Sweet setup! Just a technic remark. Sync over MIDI is nothing less than MIDI data.
Sweet setup!
