Yo thank you for the kind words! That means a ton, why not have fun and enjoy the process right?! Much love.

Coffee's on sequencer's started, dedicating this day to music. Thanks for setting us off on the right foot Ricky, always appreciate what you do ✌🎛🎵🎹

I just got back into ableton with a new MacBook Pro purchase after a 6 year stent in elektron land. It has been so amazing watching you create. I didn’t realize how much I missed the computer and infinite possibilities. I asked my friend/co-producer who he would want to hang with from KZread and we both said you. Your the man and thank you for doing what you do. Much love

Damn Coleman! welcome back! And thank you for the kind words from you and the homie. I really appreciate it, tell them I said whattup!

ure becoming my favourite producer on youtube because youre still active and seem to have a humble attitude. cheers

Dope track, as usual! Also, really wanted to thank you for always showing us the whole process, something very few youtubers actually do which is super important to understand how a track ultimately comes together. Watching you piecing it all together is a real inspiration 🙏

Just wait until next week's video :X haha!

Exactly! A lot of my late 90's deep house stuff contained a mix of 4/8/16 bar quantized loop elements AND some combination of full song takes of live percussion, bass, keys, etc. The live feel and the quantized mix is the secret sauce.

@RickyTinez

5 ай бұрын

yes! that's exactly it. there is loopiness, and aliveness at the same time

Hi Ricky, you could also use Ableton's comping functionality Introduced in Live 11, simply activate loop mode, be in arranger view, record over and over again. It looks like it is overwriting when the loop starts again. Simply continue recording multiple loop lengths. Then right click and show take lanes. All audio is there, conveniently in the same loop but multiple take lanes.

I have a room full of kids toys that I know damn well would sound really good and one of those nature-y folley lo-fi beats and I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Hopefully soon I'll get the time to actually try to try it out

Warm audio makes really good sounding mics compressors, preamps and more for a fraction of the cost of the Neumann, Soyuz, Telefunken, Universal audio, SSL, Fairchild, neve etc. products they model their products after. The owner started the company out of his garage and they built their new headquarters just before the pandemic. There's also a ton of the professional studios in nashville that have boxes of their mics, because nobody is making the money you need to be making to be able to afford a mic locker with multiple U87's, U47's and so on and so forth

Oh wow. I've heard of Warm audio before and their stuff seemed interesting. That's a good take on making an affordable product since the industry they're used in isn't paying as much as it used to! hmm. I'll have to check them out! Thanks Donny!

I love doing this kind of stuff…also works well on the Octatrack albeit with the occasional loops getting lost :D

They're really great mics. Lovely on male voice especially, singing but also spoken. But fantastic on electric guitar amps, and drums too, especially with the Soyuz launcher (which Cuckoo demoe'd sounding nice with SM7b too). Some other great mics like these, also handmade in Europe are the JZ Vintage 67 - a very warm sounding mic - lovely on voice, and also acoustic guitar, string instruments. And also the Chandler TG Type L, which is great on vocals. Generally very smooth, but has two modes, and one is even smoother. Quite a high-end sounding mic, though it's not cheap, it's not crazy expensive either.

@@RickyTinez I find this sort of gear purchase in the 400-800 range is where I buy most of my most used pieces of kit these days. Used to buy cheaper on most things and a few very high end things (e.g. guitars). But too often the cheap stuff is a bit throwaway or single use case. And the gains from going high end are marginal. Rarely ending up selling the stuff that has multiple use cases which saves time/hassle/risk. My only higher end kit is studio monitors and my main guitar, a handmade classical I got second hand with trade in during music conservatory. Worked all summer to save all income to scrape for. And the value of that has tripled, and it's spruce so ageing in a really nice way

Maaaan this was fun to watch! One thing I've come to notice over the years of being here watching is that in this style of music, simple is king. I need to really practice that this year in my own writing. Thanks for reinforcing it! BTW, what's that slick desktop mic stand? (or is it a full stand I just can't see it all?)

its a tiny desktop mic stand! (amzn.to/3Sc3Wh8) pretty cheap too, but I want to swap it for an ARM that connects to the desk because the base does take up a little space :/ thanks for catching the simplicity factor, my next video will be how to make it even less and mix this track down!

Hi Ricky, i read an article yesterday that mentioned you interviewed a representative from TE about the K.O. II release and "fadergate" if i remember correctly. Is that a video dropping soon? Or was it part of your other non-youtube work?

whoa, nah I've never done that! Sounds like fun though

make this song sound EXPENSIVE LOLOL!

Everything is so much easier in a DAW. I lost so much creativity when I used a Computer

"I never thought choice of mic can be so important" - honestly dude, I don't know how you "work for Elektron" - bcs I'd expect audio engineer to know different types of microphones and implementation cases. This is like.. basic understanding of sound theory and how sound works. During live recordings, depending on who you are recording, it is not uncommon to try out 10-20-30 different mics (if the budget is big enough and you work at the decent studio that has a good collection of the mics) on singers, different drum elements etc, just to see how specific mic treats specific sourse. Also seems like you are not aware of the proximity effect. If you want to record percussion with that condenser, better bring the woodblock closer, you will have sharper transients.

@RickyTinez

oh man, thanks you Earl! this is so helpful in helping me better understand microphones. Thanks for taking the time to write all this out, It means a lot. I got very lucky at Elektron and I'm fortunate to be working with such a cool team. Thankfully my camera skills and making video skills are where my worth it there since we don't really record or engineer artists, mainly messing around with drum machines and synths 🤘🏼

@@RickyTinez Hey mate. I apologize if I came across as rude. I know your main skillset is in video and music production, it's all good, happy to help. Extra tip - maybe try out a ribbon mic (but be very carefoul as these are sensitive to dynamics) and compare it to the condenser.

I love your channel and understand that it's not about politics, but I think using and promoting russian products is not a great idea. Especially when russia is trying to rebuild "soyuz" again... I'm sure that there are a lot of other alternatives to this brand. Peace
