Part 3 - How to make the DRUMBRUTE sound GOOD

[@rscottenglish]

The thing I like about my Drumbrute is that it encourages me to be creative. The rather pedestrian sounds are not it's a weakness but actually, a strength. You explore new ideas to make the sounds more interesting. You don't end up in the ruts left by 808s and 909s from long ago. NEW HORIZONS my fellow Brutes!

[@respectfulremixer]

Brutally honest!Concur.

[@ruxiwang9571]

any drum machines can be added with fx and thus encourage you to be creative. So I don't know why it is a strength for drumbrute.

[@mortenrobinson]

I'm in the market for a new drum machine, but I can't decide whether to get one of these cheap analog drum machines or get a much more versatile digital one instead. Can the arturia drumbrute be fully automated with midi? Does it have motion sequencing? If it can't do those things then i can't be bothered, i'd rather go digital and get a sampler then. And I don't think it can do those things, I think virtually the only analog drummachine on the market today that can be fully automated is the somewhat more pricier Elektron Analog Rythm MkII. I just don't see the benefits to buying an analog drummachine if I can't do any automation with the instrument, cause i'm going to record it digitally anyways so without automation every drumsound is eventually going to end up as just another generic 1-sound sample, and then I might as well just have gotten a sampler used samples for beatmaking to begin with. A digital drummachine with sampling capabilities will be a lot more versatile after all.

Best DRUMBRUTE performance of the Internet EVER. Nailed

Dude, you made me buy that thing, slap it on my Guitar amp and zone out. Thanks for your Work! Greetings from Salzburg

[@doodoobrown666]

the rhythms in here are so good!

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Great video. The Drumbrute is still underrated for what it can do and it's true capabilities. I use individual outputs and then put VST effects on individual sounds to create a unique sound and enhance the sounds. For me the Drumbrute sounds better than a lot of more expensive drum machines stock sounds when it is enhanced in this way. It's also isn't a direct replica of old drum machine sounds that I could just use samples to create with if I wanted that. Keep up the great work.

[@hernanschulmaister581]

hola, por usb tambien envia a canales individuales en ableton?

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

@@hernanschulmaister581 The individual outs is from the audio outputs, not USB. The USB is used to sync the Drumbrute to Ableton or whatever DAW that you are using. You need a mixer with at least 16 channels to use all 12 outputs and also your synths and other audio.

[@danl7756]

I came by my drumbrute used on the cheap, and I had the same reaction as was mentioned at the end of the video: the sounds were just... sad, almost half-baked. I honestly thought it was broken. Now, because of the outputs, it's my go-to for rhythm. The interface is just too good. I wish I could load my own samples. Still, if you are persistent, any sound can be changed into something completely different. Paired & sync'd with a microfreak where I routinely abuse the vocoder to acidify other instruments... I'm years into this stuff and still have not run out of new combinations to explore. I really like this video where the modifications make sense and are desirable. I'll be trying out some of this myself, but using a Zoom MS-70CDR with the large number of configurable effects to see if I can somewhat duplicate this.

[@MatthewMouras]

Each to their own, but I like the sound of the Brute a lot. Sounds great on the work on your channel. Thanks for this video.

[@mrspijker1522]

Thanks for this walk through! Expecting a drumbrute this Saturday!

[@suffusedwithblack]

This is a very interesting channel with a bunch of unusual tips and tricks. Where are the new videos? Do you have another channel or inst?

[@Soull95]

Great video! I'm thinking about buying some pedal to tweak the sound of the Drumbrut. Do you have any other recommendations for effects besides the ones that you mentionned, or where to look?

[@aleksandrlukin565]

If I want dirt I run my drums through KP3 distortion effect. Sounds similar

[@chinmeysway]

Great stuff there damn

[@geko5449]

Can you only connect the drumbrute to ableton through MIDI/usb? Or is it possible to send the audio through an interface? I tried setting mine up through a Komplete Audio 6 but it didn't seem like there was any incoming audio :s

[@paulruben-sounddesign3748]

sound only goes via the Jack into the Interface. Via Midi you only get the Midi Signal (which does not has any audio-information)

[@tomsabatello]

Excellant!

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

I love my MF Drive with my Drumbrute too :)

[@bshumak3r]

I can’t thank you enough

[@spudthompson1434]

Awesome video man! :)

[@paulruben-sounddesign3748]

thx mate

[@CoderCoronet]

How did you do the break down when you said Let’s break down?

[@respectfulremixer]

Excellent. Thanks.

[@mikkoinemyr9490]

Are you connecting the mixout from the drumbrute thru the pedals in to your audiointerface like a chain? Drumbrute->pedals->audiointerface->ableton.

[@paulruben-sounddesign3748]

exactly.

[@alexandrerodier9338]

Really love tour outro ! I juste bought a drumbrut impact, and filtre has been replaces du distorsion ! And i so much préfèr vit off Sound with a lot of résonance ! ... I think to try an exchange ... If somebody IS interrested ....

[@mattborba1340]

Awesome

[@JIDEHHIGHELEMENTS]

Tufff ! , Kick metronome rocks !

[@Sumsolkik]

Nice!!

[@hellf.o]

Is there any kind of motion sequencing on the drumbrute?

[@georgesboutz7534]

Good use of effects to make the lousy Drumbrute sounds better. At the end it sounds like a Trabant running on 1 cylinder!

[@profd65]

Then why did you click on a DrumBrute video, dipshit? You must have a lot of spare time.

[@stinkymart3173]

@@profd65 cause he wanted to be open-minded and revisit it and see what it *could* sound like? That's why I'm here.

Hey man, you’re genius ! Bring yoursel to France ! And don’t forget your Vox ] You are inspiring me ! I’ve got a large recording studio in the north of France. Come to my studio as a friend and I will have cople of fans, just fun !!

[@reecedeyoung6595]

As an owner: kick 2, snare, clap and rim are very good. Toms are fine, but most of my beats are kick, snare, hat. Unfortunately the high hats are utter garbage 🗑️. Thats a big problem for me. The nail in the coffin for me is the limited midi, specifically no velocity.

[@thibault.iacono4195]

I got one question! About yourconnection septup, between drumbrute and ableton. You are using your RME, but are you using only one input? (seems to be ext 9 on ur vid). Because drum brute has seprated individual outpout for drums/kicks ect, would be not better to add effects on seprated channel of each drums/kick ech. Perhaps i'm wrong and you are already doing this, but seems that you are duplicating 3 times the same mixer drumbrute outpoot. I'm considering to choose your solution or working witrh seperated channels, why are u choosing to work like this?

[@thibault.iacono4195]

BTW really nice tutorials !!

[@donatasvaitkunas3684]

Found out myself when simply playing around with new pedals on DBrute. The drive pedals (fuzz in my case) sounds insane on DBrute. Ps. Your videos are top quality, keep it up. Lovely gear u have + how do you make these custom stands? Simple wooden boxes from any depo shops?

[@paulruben-sounddesign3748]

thx! I used a wooden box from a german beer company :D - how ever now I started to make my own wooden cases!

[@carl156]

Yeah hide a tr909 in the background play that while drumbrute is on!

[@electriceyeslide5959]

909 sounds like shit!

[@auraglasswerks4900]

You could easily run the zap thru chorus reverb delay filters ect and make it dope AF🖕🏽😆🖕🏽
