Making a chill acoustic guitar beat with Blackbox and Digitakt II

[@maikrobin]

Very nice! Always something good comes out when jamming with the digi and a guitar! By the way - the FX on the digitakt stop working as soon as you hit the stop button TWICE! You then need to either press PLAY, or hit any of the track buttons (like you already did, and then the fx were back again) or hit the STOP button only ONCE when stopping. The digitakt always needs an impulse to run the FX on an incoming signal ;)

Ooooooh THANK YOU!!! Mystery solved, much appreciated! 🙌

[@maikrobin]

@@tjguardino You´re welcome!!!

DUUUUUUDE!!!!! dont know how the algorithm took so long to get your videos to me, fantastic. i see digitakt (my favourite sample/groovebox) i see a hx stomp (long time guitar player) i see a 1010 backbox (on the want list) keep the vids coming man, great stuff

[@tjguardino]

Haha that’s fantastic!! Welcome! I couldn’t find many guitarists/groovebox heads on YT so I figured I’d throw my hat in :) Thanks for watching!

Really enjoying your channel, tracks like this are a great example of how keeping it simple often results in better music. Just because these devices have every bell and whistle, you don't have to use them all to make great music. You're also inspiring me to put my Blackbox earlier in the signal chain, I've mostly been using it at the end of chain, but I'm thinking of using it more as a dedicated looper.

[@tjguardino]

Nice! Thanks for watching, I’m enjoying your channel as well!! Us Blackbox folks gotta stick together :) And I hear you, I get drawn in to how deep each device can go but I often make the best tracks using a few of them together at their base-level

"We're at 95 BPM...massive departure from 90 BPM" 😅 The most relatable sentence to me hahaha 90 is just so perfect!

[@tjguardino]

Haha right?!? tearing myself away one bpm at a time 😅

[@chrisb3389]

That bass fit in nice and smooth. Great stuff!

[@tjguardino]

@@chrisb3389 thank you!! Single cycle waveforms are a joy to work with on the digitakt ⚡️

[@trentqrichardson3203]

excellent, these just keep getting better

[@tjguardino]

Thanks so much!! That’s the hope! 🙌

[@hugo2553]

so damn chill, great job

[@tjguardino]

Thank you!! Chill was the goal 🙌⚡️

[@mrkgdy]

I really enjoy these 👍🏻

[@tjguardino]

Awesome, glad you like them!!

[@NewKilnStudios]

Very cool man

[@tjguardino]

Thank you!!! I got your email, I’ll check it out this week!

[@andriusmurencevas]

Hi, very nice video, thankyou! I have a question, could you show how you sinc midi clock and conect all your devices. Thank you!

[@tjguardino]

Thank you! I’ll try to do one soon! It’s tricky because they all sync in slightly different ways but none of them are too difficult!

[@RefactoringRyan]

Awesome vid! Helped me quell the GAS on a Digitakt. I don't think the workflow would be very helpful to me since I already have a push.

[@tjguardino]

Nice!! The push is really great, I need to try one soon!
