Deep house on BlackBox ONLY // I just wanna jam

Sometimes i just want to sit and jam and do nothing else. Feel free to hang out while i try to make Deep House on one sampler. Spoiler Alert.. I failed and caved by using the Pocket Operator Tonic at some point. Eitherway using the Blackbox to enter slices, or granular, or all its updates always inspire me to try something new, and if i don't im usually happy with the track idea that comes out of it all!

Ricky and I make severely different music, but I learn sooooo much from ricky in every video! Love the channel bro! keep being awesome

[@RickyTinez]

Dane thanks so much for the support!! I really apprecaite you

[@reflexivmusic]

Man not only is your aesthetic and musical knowledge superb, you pretty much also make exactly the kind of music I'm into. So keep it up man, you're work is amazing!!

[@DJFiBa]

One of the rare cases where a track to demo the unit actually turns out super dope

[@soundsofsynth]

I love how you make music. Not overly complicated. Just great beats and vibe. Love it dude. :)

[@RickyTinez]

zen mode engaged haha

[@stickytentaclesmusic]

You said it, one of the things I love most about Ricky's channel. Awesome vibes, great gear deep dives and high quality production. Insane studio.

[@rubbersoul2841]

The only thing 'bad' about BlackBox is that they forgot to include a Ricky Tinez with it. Thanks man really enjoy your vids and ofcourse your creativity!

[@MrTravisDCook]

I agree

[@yaqubcarter]

That and a filter envelope (!?)

[@dubbynelson]

where can I get a pocket Ricky? Seems like that could be useful when I hit a creative block.

[@aptudo]

I really vibed with this jam on a quiet Sunday morning. You're so conversational that I find myself occasionally responding with "I know right?" or something like that. Reminds me when someone leaves a really long voicemail and as I listen to it I forget it's not a two-way conversation and I respond to something they say like they can hear me. Okay, now I sound like a crazy person, lol.

[@RickyTinez]

hahaha Rob! Thanks for hanging out with me i really appreciate you!

[@MeneTekelUpharsin]

I know right?

[@stickytentaclesmusic]

This is so perfect to hang out to on a Friday evening and relax after a long evening recording and mixing. Nice and chill vibe in this jam. Love it.

[@messupfreq550]

You confirmed something about the 1010 as a micro-DAW...now all I need is a Tee Shirt that says "Very Stable Oscillator"

[@tuftyindigo]

TIL pitching a baby's cute giggle down an octave makes a very creepy chortle

[@DominicJacksonFilm]

been a sound engineer and making electronic music for decades was nice to have some refreshing new techniques in the video I have no used before, you also increased my excitement to play with the black box more which I at first didnt like but I am learning more and getting to like the fluid no nonsense UI and work flow. One of the most intuitive production tools out there.

[@Dan_Pearson]

The Song Mode is quite simple. It just records the activation and de-activation of the sequences. Set a section bar length and press record, then capture your sequence arrangement.

[@SonicVibe]

Good info

[@Jakker271]

That's how I sequence on it too. It's a great little device and of course every sequence can be it's own length so really intuitive to leave progressions out.

[@A.V.O.O.V.A.]

Man when i first heard that baby i knew you were going to use it, nice work !

[@richardjones2189]

That ride sounded killer! Thank you for all the inspiration from your videos.

[@loslosbaby]

Great vid, casual, going with the flow of what the patch was speaking, really dig it. SHOCKING outro vid...Ricky Tinez PRODUCTIONS IN EFFECT!

[@abstractmodule4574]

What a great jam, and a great piece of gear. Blackbox looks like a lot of fun.

[@DeleswaProductions]

Dope performance Ricky. I’m in total agreement just how inspirational the Blackbox is every time you turn it on. I have never experienced beat block with it, not ever.

[@poserp]

That tip about how to use the sequences is priceless to me. Thanks!

[@spacedeadboy8973]

The color and photography of ur videos are amazing. The overall quality is so good. I dont even make this kind of music but damn this channel is gold. Not to mention the music haha cheers!!

[@truthallurevideoproduction3661]

This channel has become my therapy. Thank you.

[@RickyTinez]

Thank you for stopping by

[@IOWPCV]

Do enjoy watching you creating beats,I like the Blackbox ! Nice one Ricky

[@radio_zero]

I love the jams in every of your videos, so nice to see, what the equipment is capable of

[@korros51dnr22]

man man man, listen what an inspiration. I dont talk about 1010, ok its a dope little box, but i reeaaally love the way that you present this. Very funny and professional . So, cant wait a new video ! cheers

[@user-hl5xj2qh8q]

Ricky, your videos always put a smile on my face! I always learn so much. I got a Blackbox, I think it's dope to make music on.

[@ForcesPlay]

Damn dude, that jam at the end was super funky. Great video, got my sub

[@primitivepatterns]

Made me smile when you were shuffling through the samples at the end during the jam and that “caw!” kept coming up

[@RickyTinez]

haha! that sound haunts me

[@TheZaxx91]

so cool man thank you for sharing good vibes, it makes me want to enjoy my blackbox even more, and in different ways now !!! ps: you killed me with that baby sample ;D

[@stevendelvalle2423]

"Does this sound tight?" LOL that killed me

[@NaKilo91]

Again, another great vid!!

[@pyratellamarecordingstudio1062]

"does this sound tight? yes it does!" lol. been there a million times hahaha

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

It’s a great quality built machine with a ton of features!

[@777WOY]

Fun watching you create

[@henryAightch]

Love the "Does this sound tight?" :D

[@BIG1TOWER]

Good stuff, I’m liking the blackbox.

[@annonymousname2.0]

this is so dope. injecting some groove into my sunday morning. Peace

[@jo_ey]

Chill! Love this vibe

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Never mind the GAS, I want that table!

[@colinbrash]

Wal RtB Studios seriously, I’m so jealous every video when I see it.

[@FrankvonWelt]

True ... the surface is so beautiful :)

[@baddriddimworkshop]

i bet andrew huang would be jealous compared to his space... texas look vs manhatan look haha! wallpaper so dope! but nevermind the look, i prefer being here

[@unclemick-synths]

That table changed my life. Seriously. I don't have a pre-wired setup any more, I just pick gear randomly.

[@yutube3799]

The most underrated box imho.

[@mitdemall]

Best Video in a long time, really lighted up my mood on a bad day :)

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

All other KZbinrs: look how the nee Bluebox can record all theses machine at once on different tracks Tinez: I am making a song with just the blackbox

[@valvolettadj]

Awesome!!!

[@snorrevonflake]

Glad to see that a pro is equally chaotic and confused as me. Still helpful, might buy that, had the eurorack bitbox and sold it but loved the workflow and possibilities.

[@zeusdeux]

That baby sample made my Monday a whole lot brighter!

[@footrocketco.3050]

Yooooo! I freaking lost it at 7:17 That sounded CRAZY

[@BassoaProducer]

Amazing bro!!!

[@beatsbylanstarr]

This turned out fire!

[@TheAudioJourney]

Flicked to a different tab for a second and then boom, the baby noise scares the crap out of me! Great video man, really cool process

[@RickyTinez]

Hahaha

[@Soundtrackloops]

So dope! Don't be afraid to dive into that Soundtrack Loops folder some day bro we got you covered.

[@johnschade6343]

The pitch shift on the ride at the end was so clean

[@brendencote2970]

Love your videos man!

[@TuzXMr]

Yoooo that outro was fresh af

[@wackerburg]

Loved the ride cymbal at the end. ;-D

[@suparickyprime]

always dope! thanks ! feel like dancen'

[@DeleswaProductions]

To set up a section or arrangement in song mode, simply go to the sequencer page, activate the pads (micro arrangements) you want to include in the song section, then go back to the song page select the song and loop mode, then record the section. Hope this helps bro.

[@kubidus1521]

Great, you are the best black box seller!!!!

[@matthewy393]

this tune reminded me of one of your VCF releases, so good

[@Domenikisimo]

thanks for sharing your process, bro-- reminds me I have to groove more on my BB...

[@FunnyPhisto]

Amazing. Thank you.

[@XDizzleMusic]

Wow so deep🙌🔥

[@simonweigold1871]

this is so dope!!!

[@PLFMM]

That Baby was making my day!l lol! I enjoyed this vid!

[@henninghoefer]

How is this not a "Compact Creation"? 😂 Amazing work, as always!

[@robshankin9299]

2:39 - A song section is to sequences as a sequence is to pads. Ricky shares a good tip on often keeping sequences limited to one pad. A song section might hold only one seq, (think intro), but generally, a song section holds multiple seqs. Use multiple song sections containing different combinations of seqs to arrange your track.

[@frenchxican]

Dope como siempre

[@EnviroDouglas]

Watched your Blackbox vids a few times over now and Reverb prices as low as 25% off new. Now I just need $450 Happy holidays to you Ricky! Be safe & covid free thru 2021 🍻

[@ShaighJosephson]

Good demo... Showed me why it would be undesirable in my workflow... Thanks... :)

[@256k_]

great jam there Ricky! loved it. got that classic ricky tinez style. you gotta put out more stuff man. so many dope songs in videos but never released

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

I’ll tell you Ricky, I got the Bluebox, and at first I thought, I don’t need another multitrack mixer/recorder, but then I was thinking about it, and thought I’ve got 4 mixers just in my eurorack that I use constantly, so yeah it could be useful! So I’ve got the Blackbox, the Bluebox, the SH4D and the Dr 880 all connected in midi and mixer, and have a styles (like Yamaha calls them) workstation! So now I’m making my own styles on my Korg Kronos/Nautilus combination (because I have an 88 Kronos and a 61 Nautilus) and it’s bad ass! So when sampling now I say yes, I need a mixer to do it right! It also ties all the FX clocks together on Microcasm, Mood, Fable etc…the only thing is, more 1/8 to 1/8 and 1/8 to 1/4 splitters, $100 for good ones and a few more 1/8 midi cables, yeah that’s a pain and pricey but worth it! Correction, I wanted to use the Fable (no midi, damn!) the H9 I used instead.

[@MrDjpimenta1]

Nice !

[@sebastiannai4381]

I like your humility

[@sykromsmile6303]

Great video

[@ItsRavvit]

that was soo fire

[@LoveMeBack]

Yeah, I’m ready for the Black Box now.

[@colinoliver]

i love this track

[@jexmartinez9343]

Thank you Enrique

[@dmomcilovic9185]

Dawless......only to stare are an even smaller screen

[@phrah1978]

Usefull and 'njoyable...as usual ;-D

[@napolitano2728]

wow. you make anything sound good. damn.

[@BaileyHeredge]

Lovely little beat nice 1

[@musicsamples-electronicdan9717]

Impressive Job, many thanks for sharing with us 👦 👋

[@lilmarktube4773]

dope tutorial

[@TommyTheCollector]

I love the Blackbox. I didn't expect to dig it so much, but I watched one of your videos a while back and grabbed one. I usually use an MPC, but the Blackbox paired up with a Midifighter 3d is a killer combo for live stuff. I made a couple solid tracks/videos with that pair. I keep it in a little bag and it was my main portable rig until I got a PO33. I always dig your stuff bro, great content. Good work.

[@thomasvandendool6613]

i was looking into getting a endless encoder controller for the blackbox. So the midifighter 3d connects directly to the blackbox or do you use some converter in between?

[@arturpolonski6234]

Dope Ricky

[@lucist]

"does this sound tight?--yeah it does!" @9:07 lolol

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Good stuff dude! Considering getting Blackbox to pair with my Model:Cycles and my 8bit warps... 😁👍

[@DeejvilleTV]

Quality crows, mate!

[@Jaketa_sound]

I love getting out of the daw. This groove box definitely seems pretty cool for a noob, seems pretty intuitive, but a hi learning curve. But you seem like a genius with technical stuff. I would probably like the track mute in mpc live rather than this. But you explained everything so clearly.. I am glad to have found your channel. Let me know if you got a mpc live video cuz I might invest. Thanks man. Keep it up, really respect what you are doing here! I wish I would've discovered you when my mpd32 worked.

[@OneBadAssDJ]

That blackbox is pretty bad ass.

[@fred0c]

Keep it deep! Word word son!

[@compy905a]

Of course your video this weekend has to add to the GAS since I was researching the Blackbox earlier today lol

[@mvmnt.]

Me: This looks great just to have a mess around with, might pick one up. Internet: £535 please. Yikes.

[@alexandrosroussos]

Time to check the Bluebox, I’m sure you’ll love it.

[@AmbientMusicStudio]

This was informative and informational, and the resulting track was great. I would have kept the baby at it's original pitch just because it's funny :D

[@demogorii]

Man that baby sound is the stuff of nightmares.

[@NapoleonBonaparte92]

I am not much fan of the genre, however i enjoyed a lot the way you explain your workflow :)

[@ron2298]

Damm you must be board lol. Awesome jam. Now I have to pull my bb out of hibernation and feed it some new samples I have collected over the last 7 months that he has been sleeping. Lol. Great sh.. Thank you so much for all the vids awesome content. And the baby 🍼! Dope. Stay safe. Godspeed

[@Eightball69]

It's good to keep your kick in its own sequence, but I treat other instruments often the way I would use groups in Ableton. So for percs and hats often I'll layer them in the same sequence. Not always, but often. Love the Blackbox as you say it's so easy to get something decent going quickly. I'm really excited for the Bluebox 👌🙌👊

[@brandonspivey8020]

The idea of this machien is stunning. I have had my hands on one. It would be great if it has an arrange page like the very early midi only cubase. Key edit and cut and paste tracks/bars etc Also imagine being able to plug a monitor and a mouse in it!!!! The hardware sequencer market is picking up AT LAST>

[@deegos14]

Dude these videos always get me so pumped to sit down and work on something! Keep it up yo! PS What's your take on the NI Maschine+, since its standalone now?

[@davidhelbich]

about 04:32 : I imagine people mentioned this already, but you can of course also simply mute pads in the mix (mix >info>(everything turns green)>click the pad you want to mute.
