20 minutes of a Live Dawless Improv Set!

It's practice time! And this is the set I hope happens. The Octatrack is locked in, handling mixing and chord sample duty, I have the Circuit tracks as my drum machine/sequencer. Then taking the midi sequence from the Circuit it my Avalon Bassline - low end for days. I'm really wanting to see if this setup will work as I expect it to so let's give it a shot, all "mess-ups" included!
Circuit Tracks - amzn.to/3v26lne
Octatrack - amzn.to/3wLV5Mh
Avalon Bassline (don't buy it, its too expensive)
My Synth Rack - amzn.to/3Vg8CWF

11:14 - "couldn't have done that better than myself" - does it himself

[@tunafishsndwich]

I could watch this format all day. Give me hour long sets with commentary all day, you have all the knowledge and just helps make us all better in the process.

[@Gwildcore]

I'm fairly new to electronic music and I just wanted to say this channel is rad. All the best, from the UK!

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks for the kind words GWildcore!

[@graysynther2169]

Hello and welcome, from now on, you will have No money,cos you blew it on hardware lol. No…keep it simple, get to know what you’ve got And remember, there are lots of free plugins.🙏🏼

[@nufe]

top shelf - one of the best videos you've done

[@7177YT]

Agreed

[@iancain6647]

Nothing will bring a group of people together like the impending doom of having to velcro a favorite peice of gear...

[@RickyTinez]

HAHA

[@Sharpened_Spoon]

Lots of great lessons here, thanks for sharing RT! You could deliberately slide over to bring stuff in on the 3, then use the two extra bars for the drop to get back to 1. The key change when exposed like that I think works if it modulates down, and close by in the Circle of Fifths depending on how minimal the melodic content of the part is. If it modulates up or distant from where you begin in the circle of 5ths then it sounds too cheezy like the 80's or straight dissonant when it's bare like that, you could hide it behind more stuff or take two or three steps to get there if you have a target note to reach. So here, G to F# is a bit of a leap, maybe better to step through a couple other keys (say A then B, as they're not too distant and B will very nicely move to F#, or use relative minor of A instead of A; like G > F#m > F# . Key of G has an F#dim in it already which could be a really cool step to the minor F# then the major F#) so land on the F# right when you bring in the new chords to ground it, for that floating down then landing feeling.

[@NurgleShnurgle]

This is what I live for... Ricky's improv sets 🙌

[@BryanVehonsky]

Ricky this is so baller. Shows how much you can do with simple patterns.

[@RickyTinez]

Right?! The balance of simple but playable is what in trying to find

[@oxlos]

I love that you were dancing Ricky, don’t see enough producers or djs dancing anymore, looks like you had fun and I love that💯

[@etangrun1406]

This video right here is what's up. Packed with real live workflow information. Thanks Ricky!

[@LeviMiah]

I've watched loads of live dawless improv set tutorials, this is easily one of the best, if not the best!

[@aikighost]

Analog Kitchen is highly recommended, guy really knows his stuff.

[@SURCOlive]

Sounding lush. Love it!

[@RickyTinez]

Yo! Thanks for watching Surco, you're a huge inspiration to get this rig up and running!

[@SURCOlive]

@@RickyTinezreally sounds great. Hope to catch you improv live sometime soon!

[@MrDarthSeriousmixes]

I love when you create happy accidents! the level of surprise and happiness on your face... Its extremely contageous! much love Ricky

[@JayHosking]

Really fantastic work here. Great vibes, great ideas, great music.

[@ooocarneiro]

Your videos always inspire me! Thanks for that!

[@vertigev]

Loving the live set breakdown, so much great info in there ❤

[@super-ulitka]

So useful yet chill, thanks for sharing the prep process!

[@Inkthiefmusic]

Yes dude! This is such a helpful type of video! Love it.

[@stanislavsidorov5631]

Man, I like your vibe so much. Thank you!

[@bedlam_tx]

Love the live jam sessions. Really genuine how you show what is jammin and also are not afraid to show any mistakes that happens. Another 🔥 video

[@eliaswarg6818]

That Avalon is a killer. Sounds like a Detroit Juno in the end

[@benrabary]

That was great, thank you for sharing 👍

[@indigosnow_]

so so dope. Inspiring honestly. You have me wanting to design and build my own live set up like this. Looks mad fun. Look forward to the next. Awesome stuff yo

[@Ninzumecha]

That was sooooo nice!!!!👌 More of these kinda videos please! Beautiful

[@bradfordmay]

Man that was great! Thanks for the walk through

[@niklassilen4313]

This is by far one of your best videos. Very inspirational and extremely useful for learning and getting some ideas of my own. Well done Ricky and thanks for the content!

[@franciscojaviergomez4807]

Ricky always knocking it out of the park with those thumping gnarly house tracks. Love it

[@iskinny3900]

Love it ❤❤ always a great listen.

[@user-akrturuus]

This is incredible ❤

[@tommayo3212]

Great job and it looked fun, too!

[@ritofuturito]

What a great jam! 🔥

[@youtubeaccount2302]

This was brilliant to watch

[@WTTHW]

Man keep up the good work🔥, i'd love to see more video like this, with you just jaming and talking about what you do 🔥🔥🔥

[@Ninzumecha]

I think this might be your best video! More of these please ❤

[@cavalettibnu3488]

this was such a good jam!

[@SoRusted]

you are the best! Ricky for president!

[@rhythmdroid]

yes, please

[@moolder]

Opening that hold on the sample is a neat trick. Should work fine on my blackbox will try later 🙂 thanks for the chill beats and the glance into your process 👍

[@cursortoxyz]

Thanks for this video, I learned a TON of new tricks! 🙏

[@JoeJohnston-taskboy]

Thanks for letting us peak over your shoulder while you prep. It is helpful to hear your thinking behind transitions, which are tricky for me.

[@braianceballos359]

greeeat video, so fun watching this one

[@user-jf2si3dk9v]

always a pleasure man!

[@bojusmusic]

We need more of these man!!! ❤️

[@sp4ce631]

Hey ! I dont comment often but it's the second time i come back to this video. Love the vibe, love the workflow. Your videos are amazing. Love and passion from France

[@lateralshiftmusic]

Ricky! The man, hope to catch you live one day :) youre inspiring me to start to learn to play live - one day I will!

[@iosmusicman]

Ace! Thanks Ricky. Really enjoyed it. Cheers. Lee

[@domdib]

The level of mastery of the instruments you display feels on a par with any other virtuoso - plus it's a dope track!

[@ridgerider7402]

Great jam Ricky, really interesting workflow 👊

[@gonemad83]

Damn dude, this was what I needed this morning. A lot of stuff to take away for my own live jams. Love the fact that you use the tracks in a very similar way to myself. Absolute tight jam, happy accidents and all!

[@ameet2000]

Thx for sharing, saw you at the AIAIAI launch party last week and was curious about the rig. Love how you rocked it and were able to pack it up and roll so easily. Set was tight 🙌🏾

[@WyattBrownn]

This is fire my brother, good vibes on a Sunday night. Ur a scientist with it, stay swaggy. ♊

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

I wish I could be at the show not only to hear the set again which is great but also to watch Ricky be super excited and proud when those off-the-cuff moments happen better than he expected! 😆Good luck Ricky!

[@voteutopia7548]

Sounding smooth bro!

[@tragicwill]

Another classic video

[@snickerdoodlenoodle]

Yooo, track 2 was so chill, I could listen to that for hours!

[@kschepelern]

all it takes for a proper sunday eve; thx Rx

[@MusicianParadise]

Beautiful jam!

[@MrQmason]

Bruh..... if the whole world could listen to this video we wouldn't have to worry about wars :) Simply awesome .... :)

[@lxxwj]

fuck wars make house

[@MrQmason]

@@lxxwj Agree 100% !!

[@spliffsoldier]

Ricky that second track is in my top 5 ive heard from you. crazy stuff

[@ZRV13]

im really digging the octatrack!

[@IljaSj]

Good Work!

[@Galvatron54]

Awesome! 🔥🔥🔥

Great stuff! Simple and effective setup. You could do a video talking about your approach to vocal samples and how you organize them for this kind of improv sets.

[@biokode]

Smooth as silk 😊✌️

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Good stuff! I need to get back to my microhouse.

[@Bigger-Circuitry-Bigger-SOUND]

Ou Yes Ou Yes, this is your best content , jamming house with hardware you enter in the zone and sound much better than doing the same thing on ableton 👌.

[@HogiWirjono]

Nice one ❤

[@Oakoh]

Impresionante secuencia de deep house.

[@distantcomets]

Come to New York, man! Sounds like a great set!

[@user-sl5jz3wy5w]

Пушка, брат. Качает! Люблю твой контент)))

[@KurtLorenz]

❤❤❤ so good…

[@7177YT]

Dope! Now I just want to see one of your shows. /:

[@cloneroom]

Hey cheers lovedit. Would love some more of these walking us through the start to performance aspects of a Dawless performance...for beginners....

[@SHLDMusic]

Great demo! I love the Novation sequencers they are so easy to use :) I hope they will continue to release new Circuits and Launchpad Pros with improved sequencers (more steps, and patterns)

[@detrechter5416]

The man knows his instruments

[@SonicVibe]

Nice jam set the tracks is also underrated

[@jarrbones]

it's alarmingly paradoxical how a set like this can make one feel so utterly worthless and disheartened at his/her own progress, yet equally as determined and excited to keep pushing ahead to attain this level of mastery. Thank you Ricky. You never cease to amaze and inspire.

[@BDKabrini]

Nah. Wait a minute. I can do this... But i feel / FELT like i need to transition Alot more to hold the audience attention. What youve shown me is ... HOW to be patient and let it ride. This is inspiring I listened to the entire 25min... Good Job

[@SlimCreep]

🔥🔥🔥

[@delibedriful]

pls do more of this!

[@WhtsUpYoung]

Fire

[@boni-music]

3:05 changing pattern settings live takes some courage! love your setup man.

[@RickyTinez]

hahaha! Right? its super tricky

[@adriaduch5094]

second sample fire

[@joseazevedo448]

I could easily watch 2 hours of this. easilyyy

[@mille400prod3]

THX

[@_c_y_p_3]

Greetings from Sweden Ricky!

[@RickyTinez]

Hej Hej! Thanks for tuning in.

[@medenine4828]

Best set I’ve seen from you Ricky! Infectious energy and joy as usual! What is the stomp box in the left?

[@mateusnunes8617]

Fucking dope, the vocal old school, so classic!

[@taosophymusic]

Nice! Great to get to see the thought process. Also, my ear wanted hear that bass line match that second set of chords (6:13)on the 3rd and 4th bar.

[@sndctrl]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@raulvera41]

Where is the outro!!!! You leave it on fire man 🔥🔥Saludos desde Alicante, España y gracias por el trabajo que haces!

[@98INST]

Yoooooooo, maaaaan

[@dracul74]

Great stuff. That said, I’d drop the OctaTrack for a mc 707 or 404 as both would give you access to a huge library of sounds and you can trigger clips… and do real-time effects stuff to. It’s probably cause I’ve never fallen for the OctaTrack though. I do own several Elektron products and enjoy them though….

[@bengrant9427]

Unreal Ricky 🔥I was trying a similar setup with the Tracks a SE-02 and an SP-404 that has the compressor on permanently. But there just isnt this level of control with the EXT INST turning off when moving in and out of modes. Seems like the octatrack would be a way better option.

[@willh7352]

super WILD

[@electrosonicnebula]

Awesome set. I do wish that Circuit synth was a bit more subtle sometimes. I have the OG and the Rhythm, I just love the interface but not crazy about the sounds

[@CaptainFuzzzy]

Ricky do you teach how to make this kind of house music with elektron gear? I have the digi trinity and using the octa as my mixer.

[@linuxbender]

It's not my kind of music, but I've seen a lot of tips and tricks. There aren't that many that show how to do it, with all the challenges and little mistakes. Thanks for that and I wish you all the best. What is a pity are the ads that kill the flow of experience. I must have had 10 of them, YT is crazy, it's getting more and more. I don't know if you can adjust that, a few less would be nice. Anyway, it's probably just me.

[@MattLongstaff]

Funny how looping vocals of tracks that you even know can totally change them. I would have been singing “New hot Mercedes” and “Bake some chowder” on the floor of this set

[@illhellmuss420]

🧡🔥🙌🏻

[@GaboDelgado1]

i Love your videos Ricky! I am just curious about what role each of the interfaces/instruments you have play. If anybody would be kind to explain.

[@GaboDelgado1]

Just noticed Ricky did a complete setup breakdown some videos ago. Gotta love this man!
