Plugged In | Stimming

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Stimming is honest, both musically, and gearwise, and thats so refreshing,- Hat off from Copenhagen. :-)

[@RandomNoise]

We Love You Stimming!!!!!!! Nice to see somebody is using double Octatracks for live sets! And actually playing live!

[@Lekan675]

Steaming as always shows its deep knowledge of tools and their application

[@antenorsalas8074]

with all respect to the interviewer, BEATPORT, you need a really prepared man, who ask the rigth questions, specially when you have such a tallented human in front of you.

[@whatthefunk11]

yeah the guy is like okay how many minutes do we have left lol

[@ferrari50401]

thank u I came to the comments looking for someone to call that out, questions were very weak

[@fmoll8748]

I think the question about level's and how to mix them live ist a pretty good one.

[@RockstahRolln]

What an intelligent producer and performer, I love the knowledge shared for the tools being used. Thank You Stimming and Beatport!

[@6020fsk]

sehr geil, stimming lässt diese wirklich komplizierten schuhkartone singen 🎶

[@savvidi]

Thank you Stimming and everybody who make this video

[@tutunuitekanawa3940]

Thank you Stimming!! Always for your willingness to share. Can we please buy your custom IMC Box.... Pleasssseeee

[@leocosta1582]

Stimming has a different and harmonic sound, I love it!

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

Oh cool! Love a Stimming live set chat! Yes

[@amertrnovac975]

a very knowledgeable man. very technically versed and trying to think outside the box :) love it!

[@fussybuss]

love stimming, this was awesome!

[@juanfranciscobertona4058]

Anyone knows who built that mastering machine? It just says: "Martin Stimming instant mastering chain" :o

[@jonathang9631]

trying hard to find any info on this, too

[@dankefurnichts]

would need that machine too. it looks maybe as it was build by FMR. Cause it looks very similar to their machines --> www.thomann.de/de/fmr_audio_rnla_7239.htm and www.thomann.de/de/fmr_audio_rnc_1773.htm i used this both for exact the same thing. but for now i have a mastering EQ and Compressor in my chain build in the MC-707 groovebox. I will see how this works on the next gig.

[@qpidnyx3329]

it actually looks exactly like a fmr very nice compressor or the bigger models. probably someone soldered him a headphone out ore something^^

[@qpidnyx3329]

@@dankefurnichts sorry i did not see your answer, but two assuming it to be fmr makes it a pretty sure thing ;)

[@SRDhain]

He's keeping it real. Limitations regsrds hardware push you to be more creative, and that's partly why some of the older tunes sounded so great.

[@qpidnyx3329]

he is actually producing in the daw (of course with real instruments as one can hear) and then cuts it to pieces for the octatrack

[@Rustik1722]

I’m here for the Stimming

[@dlucca8060]

We really appreciate your music Martin.

[@m.g.kroger]

Such a talent, Stimming is great!

[@martebar6700]

Awesome! He's so open with sharing his knowledge! The only thing I did not quite understand from his explanations is if he uses patterns to change songs or if he manually changes the audio files for each track which he seems to say, but I'm not sure. I do the latter with only one pattern and it's a bit of a hassle, but it allows for smoother transitions because the volumes are consistent. If anyone understands this part better, I would love to know!

[@homeropalacios1264]

No&ytt último 7i . Di . La gente

[@rittikwystup9343]

I think he uses one pattern per track, and cut his tracks into 4 sections, which he fires by using parts. As a trig condition, you can set a different sample on one trig within the same pattern, and let each part trigger a different sample. The sample would need to be either free from the sequencer and triggered one-shot (since it is not a drum loop) or sliced and set as a new trig every 64 (or so) steps for every new slice, but I think that would require more than one pattern per track. Not sure if you can link trig conditions to trigger different samples, if that works, then both options are possible. I'm still to find out :) hope this helps

[@girlinagale]

I use Synthstrom Deluge for a couple of years but always think Octatrak may satisfy a little more - that scenes slider is genius.

[@bauer6105]

Does he have a limiter on his headphones on the master out to prevent hearing damage?

[@bauer6105]

It would be super interesting to learn more about hardware live "mastering" possibilities

[@arjednb]

Martin is such an awesome spirit. Sharing all his knowledge in the highest of kindness one can have, while having really interesting and complex approaches to production in general, but being able to do THESE things with just 2 Octatracks is simply completely mind-blowing. Such an outstanding, under-rated and open-minded artist. Martin could talk about this stuff for 10 hours and it wouldn't get tiring.

[@dman030]

good choices on the live setup, for small size probably the best there is atm. was wondering what the keyboard is, the new SH-01, very nice sound, better than the other copies around i think.

[@FeistnFlink]

Best Octatrack promo Video ever :-D

[@Datacustic]

he is the zen master audio. seriously

[@neandertalero]

amazing stimming! btw, he was about to make a point about the sh-01a but left us wondering

[@JD-lb8nl]

Man is a absolute legit!! Keeping underground sounds alive, while others go commercial

[@memorial2k8]

amazing guy

[@samuelallenmusic]

Dope! Love your set up bro, solid as a rock!

[@leondenengelsen]

Thanks for sharing!

What A Legend

[@BOOMOPERAMUSIC]

How does one deal with the low end when combining two octatracks, one being bass drum, percussion etc the other being subs, bass and everything else? Does it have a side chain compression or volume ducking of some sort?

[@rhythmdroid]

OT doesn't have audio-responsive effects, so, he just makes sure that the stems coming from one don't overlap, bass-wise with the kicks and perc coming from the other. OT does have internal LFOs that are tempo-syncable and you could route one to automatically duck the volume or rhytmically filter out the bass of an audio file, but it's not directly "repsonding" to a kick drum coming from anywhere. To to that yo'd have to employ a standalone compressor and do some signal splitting to get a sidechain key.

[@user-tc7zk2xg4k]

Hey, thanks for that nice video. I love the crystal clear sounds of Stimming. Really, really nice. I have got a couple of questions: 1. What the Name of the Synth? 2. And do you have any way to prelisten to the synth, or some stuff from the octatrack? 3. What is the main reason why you updated from elektron model:samples to a second octatrack? (saw you using one couple of months ago in cologne) 4. Is there something similar as a live-mastering device? Or any recommendations to doing so via ableton? 5. What is your secret of producing this crystal clear sounds? :-) Thanks again.

[@AndresFelipe-yb9zf]

1. Roland Boutique SH-01A.

[@amertrnovac975]

@happy pibble yes, the FMR RNLA and maybe add the Elektron Heat after that for even more level or some nice saturation + eq.

[@rhythmdroid]

To answer #2: Yes, Octatrack has a headphone out and you can CUE any sound/stem before launching it.

[@dirtypunk13]

Stimming is boss.

[@timv9850]

what a boss.

[@dnch]

i want that instant mastering chain box!

[@rhythmdroid]

me too. And fuck google, too!

[@eldjswett]

Prepare ♥️🙏🏽

[@musicofhere]

Hmmm, the Oktatrack crossfader serves the very function for effects that I mapped to the APC40's crossfader in my Ableton setup...

[@FilippoCarrux]

great idea man!

[@arjanpetersen]

Wauw.... you really found something! Jeez

[@Wahadex]

i know you are genius!!!!

[@cymbolic_space1832]

Does an Octatrack alternative even exist? They sound pretty bad and dated these days but the functionality is impossible to beat. Tried to do something similar with an MPC1000 and SP-404SX but they sound even worse!

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

What synth was it? Didn’t hear him say

[@martebar]

Roland SH-01a from the boutique series

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

Anyone know what that little “mastering” box is called ?

[@J_Dubois]

I'm also looking. honestly thought even the distorted parts sounded fantastic haha

[@Durosai]

Dont think its commercially available yet. Was built specifically for him.

[@MikeRenouf]

I'm guessing an Elektron Analogue Heat could be a reasonable substitute?

[@rhythmdroid]

@@MikeRenouf OTO Boum would be even closer. Analog Heat's audio-responsive effects are pretty rudimentary.

[@RaquelFoster]

It's funny he talks about how there's so much new stuff and he likes old stuff, and I totally feel what he's saying, but he's sitting in front of two Octatrack MK2s. Then again, I just Googled it and the MK1 came out in January 2011! I don't think I knew what an Octatrack was until 2017 LOL. I think I noticed Launchpads in 2012. I guess I was more into jogging and listening to Crystal Method or chilling and listening to Autechre back then. I thought Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk was just some guys who soldered together some Moog parts and mostly played samples on laptops. Maybe because I lived in Ohio and KZbin didn't exist. I thought I had to go to Ibiza to find an EDM club. Kinda blew my mind to find one in Texas. Do I have a point? I'm going to sleep.

[@neandertalero]

i thought the same when i saw the octatracks. i guess you can consider the octa already a classic. at the same time, it is funny to realize that the original sh-101 was initially a cheap synth...it would have never become a classic if everyone (or at least the most creative ones) at the time decided to make music only with old stuff/classics/expensive stuff. point?

[@toslinked]

please do yourselves a favor: don’t rush out and buy two octatracks unless you know what you are doing.

Ableton MIDI clock is the worst. Waited to see if they've fixed it with 10, they didn't, so no need to update.

[@arjanpetersen]

You just need an external midi sync. That’s all. Your computer will never be good at sync

Overcomplicating things. Just say I like mixing new sounds lol

[@MeAlexSenna]

No way the octatrack is like an ableton live, biggest bag of lies. Bunch of BS
