Make a shirt that says: "This is DSP, But whatever."

[@6or7breadsticks]

watching you make music is not boring!

[@firesailstudios1003]

Love those moments where you get to enjoy your creations in real time - so satisfying! Makes it all worth it. Nice work!!

[@jeremyfox7599]

Ricky bro, all of your live jam recordings are always super interesting and epic watching. They give an awesome insight into a professional producers workflow which is something that I personally find both fascinating and extremely informative - I learn loads whilst watching videos such as this one on your channel. Please never hesitate to show us the inner workings, in the studio footage as it’s all great material which is very useful and all very appreciated! Thanks for all of the great content buddy!

[@felixcato8811]

I was quite down, this jam got me feel better and I'm a bit inspired as well! Thank you!

[@amethystseer]

I am legit surprised how great the Impact sounds. Killer sounds man.

[@monomakes]

Great jam! Good to see this kind of content from you 👍🏻

[@vroenis]

Awesome to hear something with a bit of a different flavour from you. I always love your house grooves but this is sick, well done, really loved it!

[@trevor4835]

Watching this instead of Netflix

[@CoffinNachtmahr]

Always

[@germancommentresearcher6938]

Ricky Tinez and chill 😆

[@aleykhoga5388]

watching this and netflix at the same time

[@HeIiosphan]

Surpringly this end up emptying my wallet faster!

[@themandownstairs4765]

Pre-quarantine joke

[@ramonkey2939]

I just love the sound of the drumbrute and pairthat with a Bass Line synth is just a super funky groove

[@internetnobody6754]

arggghhh I love watching people make the music. You're killing me, Enrique!

[@TROGULAR10000]

This general no-keyboards approach in all your setups actually makes a lot of sense. These tutorials are ace, would love to see one of your shows.

[@TROGULAR10000]

@Robert Grant I'm only talking about the use of limitations and simplification when building a setup for electronic music. Is he a musician? Yes. Samples and beats based electronic music is recognized by even the most sophisticated keyboard players, like Herbie Hancock and Brad Meldhau to name just two. A sampler or sequenced synth is every bit as valid an instrument as a guitar or piano.

[@TROGULAR10000]

@Robert Grant I differentiate between pop and higher art. This is definitely art

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks man! The limitations is what helps create unique and interesting things that may not come from a traditional keyboard based setup :)

[@arthurlorenzocolombini9956]

yeah Ricky man great mood, I loved how you catched this moment : clear simple music making , expression, fun, not too technical .. I can totally relate to it! good job! Looking for more content like this: Liked n suscribed!

[@dionysiaex5538]

The moment you found inspiration was GOLD! Keep on truckin good buddy!

[@2YLITE22]

Love it when you provide this kind of content! More, more, more! (please) :)

[@SkeleMusic]

Sick stuff! I forgot about that avalon synth.. so cool how theres filter carts. Keep kickin it dude

[@chriscooley1409]

Such an awesome groove with minimal instruments. Love this.

[@moritzbattermann1710]

Damn that Pyramids is goooood !!! Love your videos. And that Bass and Kick combination 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@AiGenerationMagic]

Ricky - your videos are such great quality. Mastery of so much gear and a fantastic ear. I'm always looking forward to your next video.

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks Aaron! that means a ton!

[@adatoydemir9455]

That buildup you made in the end was so freaking good :0

[@hiiipower3005]

ACEEEEEEED!!!!! i enjoyed watching /listening to this video....good upload man, Chariots on Fire 🔥

[@docdoak870]

with each new vid u publish, your channel gradually becomes one of my favorites to check out, learn from, and ultimately gain insight and inspiration from toward my own production, which is haphazardly technical (a mess but i know where everything is). I feel super compartmentalized... to the point where I need to step back, way back... leave the doors to the compartments open and bridge the gaps if that makes any sense. ;)

[@Marty-Joe]

I really like how well you know how to work your machines,,,very inspiring !

[@luke3055]

This is such a great post. Lots of love for this! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💥💥🔥

[@Intraverse909]

Love the fun you're having with it :) Inspiring to dust off my limited setup for fun. Interesting with the flanger pedal.

[@xcomadrejax]

sweeeeeeeet video man!!!! i can learn so much from this channel man, its one of my fav from all the content online, for real man.

[@guitarfan01]

This was actually really helpful for me, as someone who just got a drumbrute impact! Thanks!

[@KrumpusPlunk]

There's something about the way you comment things, I just love these videos.

[@skintt125]

Love this Vibe - You've given me inspiration for sure!

[@theComaCalling]

Where can I find your dj chariot stuff? That was a stellar jam.

[@amadeuspaulussen]

I enjoined this video so much, Ricky! I own an Avalon too and I would go so far to say that it is my most important instrument. I absolutely love it. Like meditation. Instant bliss.

[@true2dagame]

damn this was sick! loving this content, dude

[@pr4sident]

it is sooo fun to watch your videos! it is a anti-depressive positive boost in my mind ;) thank you !

[@Mecoh]

I usually don't enjoy techno, but watching this jam is making me love it!

[@cjw4381]

Yeeees my man Mr Martinez slamming down the funkee techno beats. That's what's bangin on the block. More of that DJ Chariot please.😁🙃😁

[@cougarman8]

So good!! Love my impact. What a great video.

[@Hell_Inc]

man, this was great. thank you for this upload

[@Zomaar74]

This DJ Chariot is messing with my mind :-) Ricky Tinez advised me about a sampler but DJ Chariot makes me thinking about the drumbrute impact. I love techno & acid and this video has both. Great video!

[@TriangleWaveRecords]

The more I see this Drumbrute Impact in action the more I want one... sick video man! Love your stuff!

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks! im super impressed by it, i know it'll eventually be a bit repeptitive, but it serves its purpose so well.

[@TriangleWaveRecords]

@@RickyTinez that's the problem with non-sampler tools, at some point your reach its full potential.

[@matthewy393]

Live for these jam sessions🙌🏼

[@mikedegrazia]

Was doing this the other day with my impact, my workstatt and my mpc one. Was using the mpc input effects and i just stopped and wept...so grabbing my behringer pro one and my guitar pedal board. Great job Ricky, inspiring me to get at it...

[@khaivo3284]

i love you man! such a joy to watch this making

[@joeydomhof6744]

Amazing stuff man, thanks for sharing. Gave me plenty of inspiration (simplicity!)

[@jmcg123]

Absolutely love your channel mate 👍🏼

[@petersmith5851]

I love the impact, bought it recently and it’s so versatile, I love how it has it’s known unique sound rather than just ripping off Roland gear like everyone else

[@JamonCam]

Yes! That's what I'm looking for, it's always so inspiring to see you playing live! Would be interesting if we could have a closer look at the fx set up with your mixer.. I'm just a noob at this point 😜 thanks Enrique, keep it up!

[@wallywutsizface6346]

Arturia needs to sponsor you, this pretty much sold me on the impact

[@suzanne_atkinson]

“This Is actually perform live” ... I can’t wait to get to that point! It’s much more interesting to listen to other musicians than myself

[@goodboid]

My kinda track this! I find layering the analog kick from the Impact (with an exaggerated delay) on a sample kick on the Digitakt really works well.

[@slimebeach]

very cool setup, didn't know about your other monikers! I also really dig running drums through the Pyramids you get so many unexpected results

[@RickyTinez]

yea man, VCF, Ricky Tinez, Dj Chariot, and more but those should stay hidden hahaha. Thanks for watching!

[@malachibrown9054]

You should definitely continue uploading more freestyles!

[@Gaiadarko]

This is great, I own the regular drumbrute and a monologue (and some guitar pedals) and this video gsve me a lot of confidence to jam with what I have.

[@SeventeenSec]

You're solely responsible for me hunting down an Avalon after watching your prior videos. I honestly slept on it prior, but went down a rabbit hole afterwards. I happened to get one in white/white also which happens to be my favorite combo though I would have taken any I found as it's ultimately about the sound. Interestingly, I was never an "acid" fanatic or 303 aficionado but I appreciated the sound of a well thought out groove. The Avalon is just next level, especially with the SEM cart which I luckily also tracked down. For all of this... I thank you! :D

[@RickyTinez]

Ahaha. That’s the color to have! I love my white on white

[@surenoblack2658]

Ha glad I’m not the only one, kind of got obsessive about it too posting wtb ads everywhere 😂

[@cougarman8]

SeventeenSeconds yeah I got obsessed with finding one after this video. Also got white on white! Can't wait till it arrives!

[@bloopbleepnothinghere]

Inspiration! Thank you, needed this 😁 🎹🎶

[@markaprill6501]

Thanks man. I just got impact and Roland se02.. I am learning some great stuff here. So thanks the more details the better...thanks again. Playing micro freak on top.

[@flashsamuk1]

Wicked tune with a Volca Drum sound from the Pyramid. Top Stuff :)

[@spvidz]

looks so much fun! Great vid

[@ggalbraith7669]

Sounds great! One of my favs, hope you release this.

[@ggalbraith7669]

P.S. Would love to remix.

[@placidesulfurik]

Dude I just love watching you create and vibe to your own stuff so hard you get goosebumps, damn. This is the shit. Also I agree 100% that this just sounds sick as it is and must be its own track if it isn't already. Dope stuff through-and-through, super educational and inspirational, you are very quickly becoming my favourite music producer on KZbin, hands down.

[@iantanner7579]

tight skills sir, fairplay - could have been '89 in north london all over again -

[@Tommyturbo667]

Hi Ricky I'm really enjoying your videos thanks for posting

[@BaileyHeredge]

sick love the immediacy of that repeat/slip step effect on the drumbrute impact. I like doing it on my DDJ 400 to try and make new drum patterns when mixing fat beats.

[@johnrichardson3297]

been waiting for this :)

[@TomaShh_Kunysz]

Less is more

[@dylanmacintosh]

Bought the Drumbrute Impact as soon as it hit shelves. What you said at the end... "on a system... my god, this thing sounds IN - SANE" ...is exactly what I was thinking when I bought it. Now just to rent out a club for the night and just line in with the Impact... Awesome vid. \m/

[@RickyTinez]

Hahaa. Let me know when you rent it. I’d love to come test a few things too

[@hulqen]

Loving the enthusiasm! 😁

[@IAmOnlyJess]

Amazing dude. Love it!

[@NewWebDesign]

i loved watching you make music next time dont cut it short! i enjoy learning the way you play and make changes plus your music is very very fun to listen too - make more mixes on the fly!

[@techtalkmike4968]

Damn Ricky! Incredible jam. Turned it up a bit too loud, neighbors knocked on my front door ... uh, oh I thought. Nope, they wanted to know where the dope music was coming from. Thanks dude! Release it, and I shall buy it!

[@RickyTinez]

haha that's awesome!

[@bluemushroomtoad]

Dude youre a beast definitely got mad inspo from this

[@OwlsHead44]

Lets goooooo - I LOVE good live sesh 😭❤️

[@johnsaigle1679]

One of your best videos I think. excellent jam! I feel mad inspired. Ever consider using the TR-8S and its onboard FX to do something similar to the Pyramids? That's what I'm gonna try right now...

[@TheTrancemaster90]

nice jam, always a joy watching those expensive toys in action

[@ethananderson4885]

Another dope video, makes me want the avalon

[@OneFreshPillow]

Sitting here at work bobbin my head to this beat! Sick!

[@Claviceptic]

You'd definitely dig a small eurorack setup to pair with these two. I can hear the distortion of the Touell Skouarn Sonveskan mixer and preamp dirtying this up real nice. Maybe something like a Mutable Instruments Plaits, or the smaller Michigan Synth Works Beehive to send the sounds underwater or whatever you're feeling. That kinda combo and a little reverb, then you're into transcendental territory! Keep up the great vids, I'm really enjoying this kind of thing!

[@cold_fashioned]

Dude. I've never heard the term "tool track" but that totally makes sense. Makes me think back to the rave days and some of my favorite tunes. They weren't all very complex. Sometimes all you need is a groovy baseline and some bumpin drums. Thanks for sharing, really dig this one. You have also opened my eyes to flangers. Generally, they aren't too my taste, but the pyramids really worked wonders. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@RickyTinez]

Yea. Suuuper complex. It’s about the subtleties (not sure if that’s a word) but for tools I don’t mind a simple groove to get me through 3 mins of a key change or vibe change while djing. Techno is easy to make. But really hard to make good techno

[@robguitarwizard]

Beautiful work!

[@MichaelBogaMusic]

Made me bounce in the bus! Not a style I'm making but that was dope seeing your workflow, thanks for the jam!

[@playgroundofsound7683]

Thanks man really love your work!! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@shimmeringtrashpile]

Fun jam! Also really dope.

[@bad_robot]

This was intensely satisfying to watch 😌

[@edrift3d]

Goosebumps don’t lie!

[@carbonvibes]

“Lost inspiration, turned on the effects pedal, gained inspiration, moved on” Love it 👍🏻😁

[@rgcmusic]

Wow that impact and Avalon sound so great. Need to resist gear lust and be happy with my Sh-01a and TR-08 (amongst lots of other gear). I like the idea of different hats. I'm trying to figure that out for myself since there are so many directions to go with gear. Lo-fi, Techno, House, Boom-Bap, Trip Hop, etc...

[@manbaum]

I like the random section. Bravooo! :)

[@Memory_Blanks]

I did not know you made techno, feeling it. More dj Chariot.

[@JackAcid]

Right, so you say at one stage that messing about with this is a little boring - well it isn't! I make my own acid house without a DAW, using hardware only, and LOVE it! So I could watch this type of video all day long...oh hang on. I just have. Anyway, this Drumbrute thing...looks very nice. I use the Korg Volca Sample, the Korg Microsampler keyboard, TR09, TB03and a RE303 . Oh, and a small Kaos pad 2 for basic effects. Aaaand that's it. Please keep making these vids!

[@matthatmusic]

Awesome content dude! 👍

[@jsav100]

Nice jam!! 7:24 with the phased kick 😊

[@WingHouseCup]

Mental as heck man. That's fire.

[@JamesRamboPearce]

Omg at 9.26 that bass part 👌👌👌😍

[@maciejlegowicz5834]

Actually, you did something other than jamming: 1. you made me consider Arturia analogue drum mashine, 2. I started believe in myself as amateur musician ;-)

[@RickyTinez]

damn! that's a win win! Thanks for the support Matthew

[@maciejlegowicz5834]

@@RickyTinezTinez you very welcome. I did notice that and - I don't think it's just me - always when you struggle with creativity is good to watch someone doing something related and it somehow ignites brain cells to start working. Cheers

[@shitmandood]

I've been looking at the Drumbrutes as well recently, but sort of got confused that they have a regular Drumbrute and a Drumbrute Impact. Why the hell does Arturia do that?? It's like they're competing with themselves & I haven't been able to figure out which one to get, despite reading reviews & watching comparison videos.

[@SFStylo]

Such a sick vibe
