Focused on: Making Drums That Matter!

[@mellemellor]

Please never stop making Digitakt videos.

[@vagueversatile]

A Ricky Digitakt video is the best combo🔥

[@NovakTheEnjoyer]

Model cycles pack 😂. Great video 💪🏼. It’s hard to always concentrate on everything equally. We used to be in bands where someone was responsible for their respective pieces of the cake. Now we’re lone writers, producers, PLUS video and everything that comes with it, AND marketing and so much more. Sheesh! You pull it off so elegantly.

[@RickyTinez]

haha, yea this is a talk I have with so many of my artist friends regularly. each job is almost a full-time gig in its own haha!

[@davidwave4]

Matt Wilde is one of my favorite new music KZbinrs, so it was such a pleasant surprise to hear that you two are collaborating!

[@jomiran1000]

I really want to jump into the Digitakt. Watching someone fly through that workflow is inspiring.

[@plocky401]

for the price of a car? no thanks

[@mcpu40]

what car are you rolling in that costs $800?@@plocky401

[@sp-404hypnodiqsoundjunkie8]

@@plocky401Amazon is hiring 💯

[@TB-wvvvw]

@@plocky401 No problem for me, because I do this thing called "working", which pays me "money" when I drive to work in my ten year old used car (that cost used about 20 times the price of a Digitakt by the way), and I am glad to give a little bit of that money to people who develop very special things I could never develop myself, with their extreme skills in software and electronics development they worked hard to learn for many years. I guess I'm just not special enough to expect them to give it to me for the price of a harmonica or kazoo or something.

[@goodvibesvince]

@@plocky401they’re like 600 bucks used dude 🙄

[@wildbird78]

the 909 hat is not cheesy you take that back now. Another amazing DT video thank you for this!

[@ZetaCarinae]

A master at work, fun to watch.

[@davidjohndumais]

Two of my fave YT producers collaborating- hell yeah. Great work as always thanks Ricky

[@tahiche.]

Man, that LFO trick on the shaker volume is so good!. I don’t get why the whole lfo is cycle is 4 when you set it at 8 but still.

[@DaveShipp]

Yeah, the shaker starting to peak on the down beat due to that LFO, combined with the piano chops was when the magic really started happening

[@youtubeaccount2302]

Really can’t together nicely. Great work. Can’t wait for the full track!

[@yungtessy]

love the way the track turned out

[@graysynther2169]

You fly through that machine so fast dude😮

[@Klangsynthese]

Dude you’re a genius on that machine 😊

[@rossjackson3349]

Beautiful as usual Ricky

[@maikrobin]

Every Ricky-video is a good video! Thank you for inspiring us, it´s always a pleasure to watch!🙌

[@bojusmusic]

So relieved ONE 909 sample made it into the beat at least :D

[@RickyTinez]

hahaha I try to resist as long as I can.. and then eventually.. it just needs it

[@bojusmusic]

@@RickyTinez I feel you man 😂

[@jesseukkonen]

Highlight of the week! Now I'm gonna go and create something myself too, maybe even go crazy and have those open hats only on 3 & 11 🤯

[@Dmyra]

what i really liked here was the hair, your do looked amazing today Ricky ✨

[@Timbrrrdoodle]

Sample the elbow pop. Thanks for the vid Ricky

[@jimshannononsounds]

You read my mind, lol.

[@dimonwait]

Thanks for the tip about mixing on DT :D

[@frankcrack777]

Sick beat with that piano sample!

[@DaveShipp]

It’s interesting to see which parameter you use to fade in parts. I’d naturally go for the Track Level control that’s controlled by the left hand Level/Data knob, since this corresponds to the track’s volume in the internal mixer. It also has the advantage of being available across all the different pages. Great tip though, I don’t do nearly enough fading things in and out on the Digitakt itself.

[@owenyonce5920]

Wow, that was cool!

[@user1756]

That piano sample is CHEATING, Ricky. It's so good

[@RickyTinez]

right?! thank you @MattWildemusic for it ahah!

[@user1756]

@@RickyTinez Good shout! He has some really cool videos.

[@danieloberhoff1]

uh, very nice clear sound, exactly what I like to go for recently, really need to get into shakers :)

[@DELO480]

Appreciate you and your insight. 🙏

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks for your time and views!

[@DaveShipp]

11:45 brought the magic!

[@georat16]

Bro' - I saw on RA that you did a Goldfish set last night. Was bopping around DTLA in search of...Will keep an eye out to catch an upcoming set of yours in person. Nice!

[@DiegoFuego87]

My wife says you sound like Robert Downey jr. haha. Keep up the good work g!

[@RickyTinez]

what the.. I'll take it hahah

[@TontoRandom]

Had to put this video in slow motion to catch the DT moves.

[@rubenenilya]

Great lighting! :)

[@jasonanthonywilper]

Cool video, good intro sofar

[@SloJoFonik]

Beautiful stuff homie

[@homerdus9668]

Would be nice to hear drum fills that have tomtoms with cymbals, like rock

[@SONWU]

so…when's that DIGITAKT II video dropping? 😉

[@ildarkinildarkin]

Nice!

[@victorhugod387]

Ricky Tines my Idol!! Too much swing!!

[@Half_Plus_Seven]

Where can I find the Noise Engineering samples?

[@latchcph]

that piano !!!

[@iancain6647]

❤❤❤

[@maxmeier532]

Marc Maron's brother from a mexican mother is back!

[@mass-1128]

Awesome video, Ricky! Question: What features would you like Elektron to add to the Digitakt in future firmware updates?

[@78thandSynth]

Are packs templates etc. usable for Syntakt also?

[@planktron]

Smooth navigatin

[@drewhenry9545]

what is the workflow for you sampling onto the digitakt? specifically the piano chords coming from your computer, how you do that? Edit: Looks like its coming from your interface, just route it out using the interface software?

[@juliansvidal]

909 OH FOREVER

[@gin-sonic]

Funny the TMA-2 battery dying on you. My TMA just completely died today!!! Will not charge anymore... What a bummer... I will have to take it apart to see if I can replace the battery. :(

[@oldsmobilethompson1658]

Great

[@SimonCoutellier-Savard]

Strange question but, that wallpaper on your walls, where is it from?

[@drewhenry9545]

i think they are camo moving blankets... ?

[@tinykarpo80s]

can u upload a video make drums like soviet post punk bands(molchat doma) ? can digitack make soviet post punk drums?

[@PiotrStaszewski]

Quick and I guess "personal" question - Does @RickyTinez record (multi-cam!), edit and finalize all of his videos on his own? While being focused on the topic, music? Write scripts? Camera grips? Lighting?... Asking as myself who tries and finds it all... a lot of work trying to do it all truly alone, and I'm so far off the production level I see here... and elsewhere. In any case... Inspiration must flow though. And knowledge alike. I'm trying to reciprocate on my own, even if I find it hard. Thanks to you too Ricky! 🙇‍♂

[@andreash3906]

What's up with that grey func button? 😀

[@user82938]

A bit shocking to see Mr. Ricky with his hat off. Looks good tho.

[@cooksoni.a]

whats up king, i love your music. but honestly i cant believe youre mixing in those aiaiais. i got a pair and i thought it sounded so bad i couldn't tolerate it even as monitors.

[@andrewramirez9727]

you gotta use that elbow pop'

[@RickyTinez]

I'll sample all my popping joints haha!

[@NoCountryDyingBreeds]

[@granoj1]

Fantastic sampler in many ways but mono WTF That piano sample was super wide and lush but when sampled in became this mono ghost of the original :(

[@christdolphin69]

this is the antithesis of music making. please just switch to playing with legos or something else that doesnt involve creativity but still allows you to piece together things that other people made and drunk teenagers enjoy
