Bit of sampling my guitar into the DT and then muting and unmuting tracks I the DY to build the song: I’ve sampled in my guitar into the DT and chopped it up using the DT engines onto three different tracks. The guitar is sampled again and octaved down with the DT for the bass line. Then made a loop with a Juno sample also in the DT and then live recorded me using all these pieces to build a track with the DT while playing guitar over the top.

@@lamped6129 that’s awesome thanks so much for replying I appreciate it. Is it better quality to prerecord the guitar somewhere else and then upload it to DT or does it work just as well sampling into the DT directly? I didn’t realise this was possible I’m not sure how you do this. Do you just plug in and play? I’m wondering what sounds better I guess Thanks

@@mejaymusic for this video I plugged my pedal board stereo outs direct into the DT then sampled, DT has an sampling option direct from inputs. It’s quick and easy then can add abit of texture to the sample and slightly mangle them which I did here and but down on the DT sequencer. Added drums and synth in the DT, made a loop, then plugged my phone into usb of the DT and pressed record on phone to video the song audio direct.

What's going on here exactly? It looks like you're globally muting/unmuting various tracks that you set up beforehand? Not criticising, just asking. Good vibes in any case.
