You know what, Ricky, I had lost all the fun in making and creating. You reminded me it's about finding grooves, letting the rhythms, vibes, and excitement of discovery carry you along. I was all about nailing a perfect kick, EQ, compression, etc, then the same with every other drum element, all perfectly placed and tweaked. Then micromanaging patterns. By the time I'd done all of that life had usually caught up and time for playing was done, except there'd been ZERO playing, it was all rigid, regimented, WORK!!! Thank you for the enlightenment I desperately needed. Fired up Maschine, chopped, messed, played, and had probably the best session EVER! Literally cannot wait to get back to it! Oh, and TrackLib is a Godsend, too, registered with your link, brother, thank you. Yeah, so thank you, Thank You for everything, ''cus that what you brought to me! 🤍

Never heard of Tracklib, this thing sounds really cool. Bookmarked the link for when I'm in need. :) Btw, always happy to see another Octatrack video. It was my first major piece of gear, and your videos played a major role in getting me into that device after having it stand around nearly unused for two years. Now, it's one of my favorite devices. Oh, actually, me searching for Octatrack videos was the reason I found your channel in the first place, and it's one of my favorite KZbin channels. Octatrack brings lots of good, kind of like it's making up for the steep learning curve. 13 minutes into the video and how you drop absolute alpha knowledge about the Octatrack is absolutely amazing.

Octatrack is the most weird piece of gear I ever used. It can do a lot of things in various ways, just like a DAW in the box. Due to amount of features that can be overwhelming, I would say that right strategy to learn it is selecting certain scenario of how you will use OT, then learning that part only. Step by step, you can learn the whole machine.
@lardosian2 жыл бұрын
But you only have 8 tracks to play with, does that not limit things compared to a DAW or an mpc where you can have a lot more tracks?
@DmitryPuffin2 жыл бұрын
@@lardosian Never tried new MPCs, but besides 8 sample tracks you have 8 MIDI tracks on OCTA, plus several line inputs and possibility to do quite advanced looping/resampling on the fly. Octa can become a serious brain in the setup, because it also can be used as submixer with FX. It's limited in voice count, but almost unlimited with what you can do with them.

Ok. So I’ve just watched that and it was awesome. Now here’s the thing. I’d pay you for a course on how you did this. I mean like slowed down and explained in detail. Your muscle memory and seeing the possibilities is just too fast for my poor brain to keep up. I’m sure a course on the OT\DT combo would sell out. It’s not just the skills, it’s your taste in music and experience that I think we al admire. Others have made courses and I’m sure there’s a shit ton of work to create the material but I’d snap it up at a heart beat and there’s many like me who need the structure to learn the OT. Go for it… please!!!
