OctaTrack MKII Sampling | Beatmaking Workflow

[@jonmakesbeats]

Again, I've got to say it's refreshing to see someone else in this space take the Octatrack into consideration when making hip-hop. Great job.

[@papanovembermusic]

Totally agree!

[@malobeats]

It means a lot coming from you John, I appreciate the love and support and the OT is definitely staying here. It’s been so fun learning it.

Big Moves. Love you work Jon 🙏

Sorry I mean “Gary”

[@carbonvibes]

I see why you enjoy the Octatrack. Nice beat Malo and the functionality of the unit is definitely unique. Looking forward to your next Octatrack cook up.🔥

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, man, I’m so glad to see you here and also thank you so much for the feedback. I’m definitely gonna be putting out some more videos on this OT. This has been very fun to use.

[@maikrobin]

Man, those beats were sick!!!! Actually the whole video was ace. Can´t wait to get my OT out again (just moving).

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you so much for taking the time and checking out the video with some of this feedback. It really means a lot. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tks264]

This is some of the best music running from an Octatrack that I have listed in a while!

[@OFFMike]

Great job I’m in my first mouth with it, and it’s IMO an Sp on steroids, reminds me the 2K XL, with way more possibilities. Great job thks

[@olvomusic]

Wow first beat is so dope !

[@malobeats]

Brother, this really means a lot coming from you. Thank you so much for checking it out. Blessings.

[@olvomusic]

@@malobeats thanks man, love your channel! keep it up

[@papanovembermusic]

Real good!

[@malobeats]

🙏🏽

[@SclimBeats]

I need more tutorials on octatrack 🙃

[@Capsule71420]

Always a great day when Malo uploads 🫡

[@malobeats]

Is his deep brother, I always appreciate your support.

[@domeniquexander_]

Great 🔥🥁👊🏼

[@SKRDmusic]

Yo Malo! Love these vids. When comparing the MPC beats I always feel like the drums just hit harder; might be the sidechain, might be the sound. What's your take on the OT vs MPC sound? Any difference?

[@Edge_0202]

That first beat 🔥🔥🔥

[@malobeats]

Thank you Carnal 💪🏽

[@pinkflamingo5972]

The thing that I would do to speed up workflow is get into trigger mode then set a grid then as I hit my samples I could adjust with the knobs on the fly as I made my sequences which was so much damn fun.

[@pinkflamingo5972]

Oh damn I commented too soon before I finished the video. Glad you’re taking advantage of that.

[@pinkflamingo5972]

Also to recap on your last point. I love Akai and other machines but I found with the octatrack I would create something completely different than I would on the MPC vs the octatrack. I also had a lot more fun mangling and chopping once I wrapped my head around the workflow

[@F_letc.h]

Great video! What has been your go-to source for learning the octatrack?

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much, Brian , I definitely had a crack open the manual and download it some PDFs from the website also KZbin and every now and then having to bug my good friend Ricky Tinez for some input.

[@TheFreakingpanda]

how did you play and record the sample live?

[@SonicVibe]

But have ya tried air flavor pro on the mpc yet straight 🔥

[@malobeats]

Literally editing that video as we speak lol, it’s the real deal and I’m loving it.

[@SonicVibe]

@@malobeats nice excited for video I’ll skip the mini d but it sounds good but the air flavor pro I think is what the mpc was missing

[@Dispatcher813]

Is there a monitor on off switch to hear your audio coming in

[@malobeats]

It’s such a great question and it took me a while to figure this one out myself lol but yes, there definitely is a switch to monitor your incoming audio.
