[@MrMikomi]

Very good. Better than 99% of the electronic "jam" sessions I have seen on youtube.

[@ObscureMachines]

MrMikomi Thanks!

[@hihan196]

damn no possible with all of them

[@Robin-ox2mz]

House isn't something particular, it is a feeling! This jam certainly shows that house feeling.

[@ObscureMachines]

Robin Popma Thanks!

[@Dworak84]

Yeah , feel it same

[@plm54]

I must have listen to this beat like 400 times!! Awesome Bro!

[@nickyboomrox]

People must have pushed the dislike tab by mistake. Either that, or they are detached from reality. Lovely groove created in this video.

[@ObscureMachines]

Nicky Boom Thanks!

Haters Hit Dislike plain and simple

[@niyacohen4465]

Amazing pieces of kit shown off very well!! think I will have to invest!

[@Allseende]

I was about to buy Tanzbär and TT-303 but after watching this one i'm totally hooked on the Arias! Crazy good awesome amazing best great session!

[@ObscureMachines]

Thanks man! Yeah, I mean in terms of the variety of sounds you get and for the money, the Airas for sure. The TB3 has a few patches with chords, which a TT03 couldn't do alone. I've honestly looked at a TT03 for the analog goodness, but I need at least 4 voices of sequenceable polyphony. Anyways, yeah Airas are a good choice, and they just added 606 sounds to the TR8. Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisRamis]

really great demo. in general when i watch a demo of the aria serie on youtube it sounds very 90's which is not the case here. well done !

[@ObscureMachines]

Thank you!

[@ObscureMachines]

+Bob Lamers I did own a TR-8, but sold it and bought a 909. J/K...yes TR-8 is a good one for sure

***** Thanks!

[@obshaky]

Just bought a VT-3! Plan to use it along Maschine although a mate is selling a TR-8 for $350! Im feeling that getting those 2 would be redundant. What do you think?

[@ObscureMachines]

Not redundant for workflow. I like step sequencing on the TR-8 the most mainly for its 1 to 1 function for buttons, sliders and knobs. Maschine is attached to the computer, but infinitely more flexible sonically. I'm experimenting with drum replacement using the TR-8 as the core. I have grown a little bored of the polished TR-8 sound. To conclude if you've never made beats on a TR-8, you should give it a try. Very quick, sounds great, and no clicking around, which is always a plus.

[@spacemanlou5768]

This is awesome!!! what's your routing process for this ? does the vt3 go into the tb3 via midi and then from the tb3 to tr8 via midi ?

[@robby102938]

Really loving this .. heard it like six times ;) keep them coming!

[@ObscureMachines]

Thank you for your support!

[@DeafyDeaferson]

Very cool.

[@derayu]

Nice work! Love that sound. So, you recorded video and sound separately. How did you get both in sync? I also wanna do a vid for KZbin, but I don't know how to do it. What do I need?

[@ObscureMachines]

derayu Thanks, yeah so you need to record the TR-8 via it's USB into a DAW like Live or you can even use Quicktime. Just get the audio somehow. Same goes for the video, use whatever you have. Then, use a video program like iMovie or Vegas or whatever you want really. Import the audio, and import the video. You can time align them by dragging the regions around until you find the perfect spot. That's really all there is to it. The simplest way really would be to use the webcam on a Mac, and record video with that while recording audio using the TR-8 as an interface, then everything should record perfectly in time without needing editing. Now that I think of it, I might use that method.

[@Jeffvideo24]

I just bought the TR8 and TB3, I went to LA Recording school for Recording Engineering and I am not a musican (knowledge of Music Theory and all) but I trying to practice your track and not having 100% luck. If possible, could you please send me how you set up the TR8. I got how the TB3 was set from a link in the replies. I love your style and really would like to learn from you , so I improve and sound as good as you.

[@ObscureMachines]

TB3 was plugged into external in and sidechained on the TR8. TR8 808 kick, 808 or 909 clap, and 909 hats. Not much else to it.

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

Real cool! Did you route the TB-3 to the VT-3? I cant get that sound on the TB alone, is there something else in the mix?

[@ObscureMachines]

nicos808 That's just the TB doing its thing

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

Obscure Machines Yeah found it :) B3. Well used OM

[@johnryanalexforeman2651]

[@ObscureMachines]

Ableton

[@richardchandler5496]

Have you laid that track down for sale anywhere? Would play the hell outta that at after hour joints. Sick beats for sure!

[@Gyrbae]

Behold, the student has spoken. The teacher saw it, and it was good. Truly, the fresh beats have been resurrected. And so.. The people danced.
