Beats From Scratch - Elektron Digitakt (Dark Stuff)

[@RedMeansRecording]

editors note: i recorded this video in november of 2019 and along with 2 other videos in the same format never made them public. i will be making them public of the next few weeks.

[@BenStJohn-mf3im]

Thank you Mr. Recording

[@dagura.9677]

The insane part right before the 8 min mark wtf !!! That was insane !!!

[@kyrregjerstad]

Man, these grooves are great! Would definitively like to see more from the Elektron Digitakt!

[@HDCowles]

^^ exactly this :D

[@peacefulpigeon7254]

Yes

[@kenmacinnis]

Agreed. Would love to hear even more thinking out loud, since it’s from scratch. It’s be super helpful to pick up what someone newer like me is missing.

[@ku______]

^^^^^

[@tatnallkennedy]

@@kenmacinnis your not musically gifted...at least that's my problem

[@joelkulesha8284]

I got my digitakt this last week, got this sample pack, made something I was happy with and went to go and rewatch this video for ideas. Good lord you really make it seem like those tracks just were in that pack just waiting to be assembled. So impressive and I got a lot of great ideas for tricks too! Thanks :)

[@bounkk9147]

First one was really sick like a Metal Gear Solid type beat. Second one made me feel like I was tripping balls in the jungle and then fell into the ocean.

[@therealfaintinggoat]

Only Jeremy can find some random stuff he made a year and a half ago and it's still straight fire

[@MattGreerMusic]

Yep. Beat gave me the stank face. Sort of DnB but not quite but in a good way. Gave me Photek vibes. Actually really liked both of them. Second one gave me a 90's Orbital vibes (in the best possible way).

[@acfoltzer]

This is rad as hell. Videos where you start from scratch are always the most inspiring, even if it doesn't end up in a full track. I just want to go noodle around now

[@MkUltra612]

I dig sound design / workflow videos and just got a Digitakt, so I love stuff like this. Many thanks!

[@MrExplodicide]

This kind of lightly curated exploration video is really inspiring. I like how the process of these videos seems to be to "explore explore explore, and then find what's fun about what you explored." Really cool way to think about track making.

[@IhorMedia]

I dig it! Nice format, Jeremy! ✌️

[@SirGromit]

I would love to see you make a full song with just the digitakt, chaining different patterns to make a song structure :)

[@wickeddubz]

Bwaaah, some serious blend of triphop and somatic techno. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@donaldpriola1807]

The Digitakt is never out of my reach. I find it to be their best box--the right combination of accessibility and complexity.

[@sinepilot]

12:18 Your Peter Gabriel comment....yes, that timbre right there totally reminded me of his Fairlight. If it were me, I don't think I could resist putting some Youssou N'Dour samples in there lol

[@OscillatorSink]

Clappin' Cowboy

[@NUNUA]

Refreshing after all the latest modular videos

[@BottleMakesMusic]

Damn that was lit. Especially the first beat. Man, that had some dark vibes. Got me thinking about "A Quiet Place: Part II". Being chased down by monsters in a post-apocalyptic industrial wasteland. Awesome stuff, dude.

[@Ic3crawler]

Damn the first beat sounded like the music that would play in a sick racing game where the end boss is some wicked crackhead that you have to race at night, through a shady district where you'd rather not get out of your car. Loved it!

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

Top quality demo. Awesome

[@pnKroKbobby]

This type of video, so satisfying to watch I could watch for days

[@sanitytax9262]

Yes. More please! Been wanting and Elektron for almost a decade? But been on the fence due to the price point. Videos like this really showcase what can be done with machines creatively, while learning with a more hands on feel secondhand.

[@Nomo_Popo]

It is quite fortunate that you say you love to do this and I hope that you do do this because I personally would love to see more of these types of videos so I hope you would not find it laborious to continue doing more of them. In fact, I would hope to consider it a salubrious process and overall endeavor not only as a content creator, but as an audience member experiencing such content. Toodles.

[@hankhillwalker5809]

I definitely love this video format! Would love to see more digitakt and whatever else done this way

[@forbesgolf]

Thank you Jeremy for all the good insight with this machine, I would like to see more Digitakt.

[@Daphoid]

The second is straight out of something Heavy Rain / Batman / something dark related. Love it.

[@silofuse]

Loved it. Gonna grab some Elektron packs now. Thanks very much.

[@GreatistheWorld]

3:30 I was not prepared for what happened next

[@tweakmygroovebox608]

Inspirational, loving the dark drum and bass style beats. I have yet to learn the tricks of the Digitakt- great to see you using it so fluidly.

[@giannicerri]

Just ordered a digitakt this morning. Exactly the inspiration I needed!

[@martintaylor9205]

Yeah Jeremy cool , more more more of this , the Digitakt is amazing in capable hands need to learn lots so leave it up to your creative explorations ACE

[@Daeman116]

I love this format. The beats were hot. Can't wait to see more!

[@Mattsmith428]

Really enjoy this style of vid and watching how you consider and direct your ideas and process. I’d love to see more.

[@huhabab]

I swear I heard that reverse toy piano in an ORBITAL track 20 years ago.. Awesome jam!

[@michaelkonomos]

Man I am here all day long for some Digitakt industrial by Jeremy.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Next year it may be a theme

[@MilesKvndra]

Great video format! I really like that and would be happy to see more of this. :)

[@subradial]

Very cool! Need to spend more time with Digitakt, hearing some 'Headstone Lane' vibes here!

[@frankdev]

It's really neat seeing you apply the same/similar process back to back. I really enjoyed this. Would be interested in seeing the same format but with the polyend tracker. (Or anything, really)

[@JoshuaRes]

Oh damn. The base lines… “let’s get darker with it” 🤣

[@seanhannan8509]

Great stuff. When you work with sample packs it’s inspiring because you show the range of what is possible instead of making a track that sounds like the pack demo.

[@CoolBreez69]

That is just a seriously sick beat! Call it the "Darkly Sick Beat"

[@CoolBreez69]

Okay - 1st song is "Darkly Sick Beat [Satan's Chill Mix]" and 2nd song is "Darkly Sick Beat [Satan's Sex Lair]" What ya think? Too Much? :-D

[@JoshIsMakingMusic]

Great grooves and a great video. Excited to see more beat-making content!

[@nostalgiajunkie]

First beat sounds like mr krabs favorite radio stations #1 hit

[@Fractalfrog]

I love the channel. Thank you for sharing your mind! You inspire me to expand creatively. Mahalo

[@LargeCornEnergy]

I am a very simple man. I see dry hands on pretty set dressing, I click the video. Great stuff as always Jeremy!

[@ctlfishdangerzone7633]

Yes to the beats and format! 🤩

[@steve_o]

Definitely like videos like this Jeremy, hopefully you’ll do more. I get lost in my Digitakt and sometimes I just don’t have inspo, so now I’m def looking forward to going home and playing around with some samples

[@resonance378]

11:00 - I'm hearing Photek - man that brings back some memories. This is great stuff and very glad you released it!

[@tamersallam5833]

Love this kind of video man, keep em coming!

[@luckykraken5835]

Yes please! i personally loved the video and i hope to see more in the future ahah

[@IDarKVeNoMI]

The first few tones reminded me of a Propellerheads track... But it very quickly turned into something completely different. Sound like perfect beats for an all night haxor session 😎

[@davidlynch4338]

This was awesome. See someone else's process is really helpful.

[@dankaiser4608]

Definitely like to see these, especially with digitakt

[@alllligator]

That's AMAZING, bro, don't even think to stop!)

[@OhItsAnthony]

That was great Jeremy, more like this please.

[@faithmeans458]

these videos are my favorite!!!

[@grey2105]

I really enjoyed this! Hope to see more digitakt vids 💪

[@IntimateNoise]

awesome approach and results 🖤

[@qbpie]

Love this style of video. More please.

[@sebp400]

beat 2 sounds like Scorn. love it.

[@flundlip]

I like this format. Awesome video

[@binahtrading8565]

Great new series !!

[@Jeeboo007]

love the concept of this video and love your creativity. Really cool and inspiring music :)

[@TheCheeriosMan]

Content like this is great! A very cool way of experiencing workflow on devices you might not have as well.

[@instasquid]

Really enjoyed this. My Digitakt is very underused and barely understood, so this kicked ass.

[@tahiche.]

Enjoyed it very much!. Keep em coming!

[@vadykk]

Yassss more digitakt please

[@maikrobin]

Very motivating, thanks!! Now I want to do some wild stuff as well - no more well-behaving!!!

[@medenine4828]

Jeez Jeremy. Seriously fire beats

[@johnwood1551]

That first track is sick! You should actually turn that into something if you havn't already. Are these internal sounds or your own samples?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Sample pack is listed in description!

[@wetwork6553]

this is so amazing. so glad i found it. subscribed.

[@7Tarot]

Not seen you in a while dude been really busy, sorry but you still got that drumbeat music mastery magician thing going on bro :) nice one Cheers :)

[@davidvochocjr1005]

One of the most inspirating Digitakt demos. How many times more subscribers do you have since then? ;-)

[@iflowslow]

blown away by this, so amazing. is there a name for this type of music genre?

[@wesleychaffin4029]

Love love love my digitakt

[@tiouip]

Right on, Mr Red! 😁

[@NickSomeSoul]

Yes. Really liked this video. More like this please! Question on using the LFO to switch samples to make those glitch patterns: Do you edit your samples beforehand in order to have them all be around the same volume level? I find when I try that trick I always get some that are way louder than others.

[@RedMeansRecording]

I loaded my sample pool in groups of samples that all went together

[@jdog7982]

Aye man I love the music in this vid. Experimental and original but still accessible. I love the darker timbres. Do you do any mastering in post? When the trax come out by themselves Im definately gonna put them in a playlist w some of my songs.

[@tubeMonger]

Ah the other black box. The things you can do with a pattern. Nice!

[@5PAC3K1N9]

Awesome!

[@Thor-zh7ve]

I love this. Are the any albums/artist with a similar style?

[@BoombapArt]

Dark stuff, but I like it 🔥😁 awesome work J! 👊🏻

[@GeorgeL909]

I loved this

[@garymon]

I like this format. When you and other channels only do the text on screen I often get so involved watching the device manipulations I miss the words. I find it easier to watch the device and listen to your commentary. But that’s not to say I don’t like a good onscreen joke.

[@SergeyCoder]

F*ck! So quick! It will be fun to compare how many time in will take to do same things in MPC for example :) Very like elektron's workflow. No time wasting, you doing what you need to CREATE music.

[@VTOLKits]

I like this video style, thumb up!

[@JeffBlaine]

Yes.

[@vad154]

Jeremy your music is so nice, thx for the video

[@DavidDeLuge]

Great video.

[@gregjacoby6909]

this is fuckin sick. never disappoints.

[@GreenHoleSun]

I see a lot of contents (by a lot of youtubers) about the digitakt, but not so for the digitone, which, imho, has great potential. Digitone needs some love...

[@RedMeansRecording]

It's coming I promise

[@GreenHoleSun]

@@RedMeansRecording thank you, I really appreciate your work and your channel

[@MichaelBucherMusic]

Oh yeah! Fun! Thanks man!

[@lightofall]

Thank you

[@Recloh]

This is the best!

[@markfelixm]

This format is awesome! Inspirational, educational, and dope. If you have and like an Octatrack, would be cool to see!

[@RedMeansRecording]

I have one and it's my goal in 2021 to learn it b

[@markfelixm]

​@@RedMeansRecording Hell yeah! Eyes peeled.

[@sinepilot]

Needs more cowboy. (j/k, sounds great!)

[@joicegarcia7265]

Keep it up watched here see you and God bless

[@mrnessss]

As the owner of a Digitakt for one week, this video is equally inspiring and depressing 😂

[@TheeKamHess]

This was really cool.

[@gatorgoforth3097]

More Digitakt vids please!

[@KylewTyphewn]

How does it feel to have more talent in a few fingers than many people have in their whole body? This is fire. I can't wait to see more of these new old videos.
