Making complex beats on the Synthstrom Deluge

[@jrrurrj]

Nice tutorial! To make the high-hats more humanlike, i also like to reroute their level or velocity (shift + column 3, row 8) to the random mod source (shift + column 16, row 6).

[@RSKT_music]

That's an awesome tip dude! Pinning this to the top :)

[@scubacopelite]

Your Deluge tutorials are a lifesaver. Thanks so much.

[@RSKT_music]

No worries! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@dbrian56]

I learned a lot from this. Thank you for putting it together.

[@RSKT_music]

RSKT - thanks so much for these , great tutorials. Question - why can"t you put you mic into/thru the Deluge in monitor mode to get stereo outputs?

[@RSKT_music]

I have thought about it, but there's a few reasons why I don't. I'm worried I might accidentally delete or mute it while performing certain sections. Also, recording into my DAW allows me to do some cleanup on my vocals, as well as side chain the Deluges audio in a more controlled way, and offer more editing options when putting the video together.

[@MonitusMusic]

Full of very good and useful tips. There are some of them I didn't know yet and I am sure I will include in my workflow! Thanks!

[@RSKT_music]

No worries! Really glad this was useful to somebody :)

[@RonCavagnaro]

[@jumpontheroof]

This is great information. Thanks for making this!

[@RSKT_music]

No problem! Glad you like it :)

[@alexiwiedemann]

finally something useful for real producers, deep dive here, well done!!!!

[@RSKT_music]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words

[@melokit-music]

Thx for the trick to change the color of just one tone in a kit dude 😁👍🏿

[@RSKT_music]

Haha no problem :)

[@melokit-music]

@@RSKT_music there's always a little something to discover 😁

[@nilc]

Thanks, helpful! Really enjoy your playful style, trying things out and talking about what you like and don't like. Similar to nudging timing or putting automation on a note, I like to adjust velocity here and there. You prolly do that as well, but I didn't notice it in the vid

[@RSKT_music]

Thanks a lot! :) Yeah I guess I only did that with the snares here. Most times I'll do that with the high hats or if I'm doing doubles on the bass drum. So much you can do with this thing. Love it :)

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Thanks for sharing this great tutorial! Just sub'd.

[@RSKT_music]

No problem! Hopefully I'll have something else out this month, just been flat out with other projects sorry

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

@@RSKT_music Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[@XtianApi]

Awesome! Step 1: known every in an out of the deluge Step 2: be talented Step 3: put in the hours. Lol

[@RSKT_music]

Haha yeah, it does take a little but to get your head around some of the button combos, but at least the test of the workflow is pretty intuitive. Talent is something you earn though, not something you're born with. So anyone can do it! ;)

[@XtianApi]

@@RSKT_music awesome, can't wait for my deluge to get here!

[@RSKT_music]

@@XtianApi you're gonna love it! :)

This is not that hard to do, you just try stuff and see what gets you grooving. It's way harder to write melodies and other non-percussive stuff.

[@XtianApi]

@@wiegraf9009 makes sense. You're right. I have basic knowledge of scales and music theory, so I'm not too bad now that I know the gear. I will steal an idea from a song for practice and make something. I realize shaking the rust off makes me more likely to think of something at work or wherever. Then I'll pull my notebook down and jot down maybe 6 or 7 notes. The original melodies from me range from great to dog $h1+. Now just waiting on deluge oled retrofit
