Roland TR-8S MEGA TECHNO TUTORIAL

[@dontcallmejon]

this video is ace, dropping the secrets from the 90s

[@DankLiveAF]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! Now I need work to chill so I can do another!

[@streetdoghanoi]

I keep coming back to this video, it's exactly the kind of explanation I can follow and understand. Thank you.

[@mathiasrindt2796]

Rückwärts ❤ danke Freund 😂ich liebe es...

[@antoniobertolini9358]

Best video of the tr8s on youtube

[@MenkeriosAndemicael]

mine is coming tomorrow I'm so psyched!

[@MenkeriosAndemicael]

a month later, gotta say this is an amazing tutorial. Love the machine, worst part of it is having to take it out of my setup so I can sleep with it and make beats in bed. Coming back to find your details about getting the kick to make your head bob

[@davitkorakhashvili4488]

amazing tutorial, very helpful to whoever owns this beast techno machine. thank you

[@Wintersun729]

OMG this video is perfect, just getting started with the tr 8s

[@guyjackson1763]

Wonderful! Thank you. I have just started with the TR-8S, so might take me a few more minutes to absorb it al. 🙂

[@mishanomusic]

The video we all have been looking for, nice one, comrade.

[@daflux7]

ts8 sounds like a beast the deep tone is massive,perfect for club system

[@jimenezmartin10]

I just watched 10 seconds of this and I love you man, thanks. SICK !

[@davebetts900]

Finally a great in depth how to video. Had this synth for a year and you just taught me how to actually use it. Thank you 🙂

[@izidave]

Hey Dan, I just made my first totally original piece on the TR-8S!! Your tutorial gave me what I needed to really get started. It’s basic, but I’m so pleased to have gotten started. I’ve posted it on my Insta and I just tagged you. Thanks so much

[@DankLiveAF]

Hey Dave what insta account did you tag me in? I don’t see it.

[@izidave]

@@DankLiveAF @danklive. (I guessed)

[@genegagnon7162]

Cannot thank you enough for this video my dude, so dope!

[@izidave]

Such a brilliant tutorial. I’ve been playing with my TR-8S on and off for about a year but without much solid direction. I reckon this gives me about the next 4 weeks of work!!! Love it. Thanks you so much. And I love the presentation style! Fuck yeah!

[@izidave]

Brilliant. Loving it. 2 hours later and I am glued!!! I gotta go get a burger ;-)

[@izidave]

Lol. 7 hours later (with a break for food) and I’ve learnt more about the TR-8S than ever. Helped that the family has been out of the house all day! Absolutely ace. Thank you.

[@cesarreula]

Great job! So informative and a very cool track you created!!!

[@postalverb]

This video is amazing.

[@danobrien3292]

this is phenomenal ! Well done, finally very usable.

[@SonicPVC]

It's cool to know you can assign verb/delay to separate channels. I thought it was global.

[@felo5255]

muchas gracias por el vídeo.Ahora entiendo mucho mejor mi máquina.Un saludo desde España

[@paulgeorgmusic8748]

sick dude! just got mine yesterday and im so impressed by what it can do. had the tr8 years ago. thanks for that inside look on ur workflow and all the tips

[@voidreflectionsmusic]

Awesome, thanks a lot for posting. I took a lot from this.

[@oliviergilgen4482]

Bravo et merci pour la vidéo. C'est très intéressant de voir comment donner vie et utiliser un maximum de possibilités avec un minimum de matériel...

[@John_Coffey_Productions]

Great tutorial man well done was fun to see your workflow

[@TheStanley1000]

Thank you, motivates me somehow

[@djmichaelwenz]

You are really great at playing! I have been TR recording for many years, you got skills!

[@DankLiveAF]

Hey Wenz thanks for the kind words. You and I once were at a rave in Wisconsin called (blueshift) and this dude on a ton of acid pissed himself and started grabbing girls and we subdued him in the bathroom lol.

[@djmichaelwenz]

[@djhaimhazaka6499]

Amazing, thank you !

[@djmumma]

This is really good. It's hard as someone totally new to this stuff, to get your head around it. Plus, I bet so many give up during the process. Helping people make great noises with this machine, it really helps maintain the interest. 'All these sound lame' 🤣 that was funny. Thanks for sharing

[@GolabKitsForTR-8s]

Good Job.

[@beesting6135]

Had to get one

[@Digiphex]

Can you run the assignable into the EXT to get sidechain on the internal sounds?

[@mattshadwick7755]

Yes!

[@MadelnMachines]

Really good walk-through. The 8S seems very useful for get away from all the mouse based stuff, covering the essential percussive sounds, arranging and mixing them. The menu diving seems a bit tedious though. Does it annoy you or is it fine once you get used to it?

[@DJeMo]

Loved this sneak peak into another's workflow cheers, the midi editor they released not too long ago is handy also, although once you learn the shift buttons etc and the good habits the menu diving on the hardware is easy enough, but the editor will defo help too everything one click and set... And hopefully they update the editor with some other wee bits it could take advantage off, look forward to more vids, keep em coming.... Very inspiring indeed, thanks again from Northern Ireland 🕺 🎶 🔊 🎹 🥁

[@DankLiveAF]

I really should check out the editor. I’m really comfortable with using the unit itself though. Do you know if the editor allows you to sequence note that conform to a scale? That would be the main thing I’m interested in. Doing it on-unit requires an entire translation table.

[@adamoliver82]

The editor is handy but like you said, once you're comfortable with the machine it's easy enough anyway. The only place I find it really useful is in editing the effects that have deeper menus like saturator and comp+drive. Simply because it's all laid out in front of you to tweak. Sequencing to a scale and sample import would make it a truly worthwhile tool.

[@izidave]

Hey, following my other comments, you mentioned Akai Force at about 1hr 18mins. It would be freakin’ AWESOME if you did a similar style video for setting up and live performance on that machine. Like the TR-8S I have one, but never really got as comfortable as I wanted to be with it.

[@DankLiveAF]

That’s a pretty great idea! I’ll start to figure out what would be cool to show. The Force is EXPANSIVE but I think if I focused in on my methodology I could show something cool.

[@izidave]

@@DankLiveAF ah man, thats would be ACE, I predict it would get tons of hits; like you say, the Force is a beast, so much in there, and most videos online don't give a solid path to start to get to grips. Maybe if a user is previously familiar with an MPC workflow its easier, but if like me you dont have that history it is daunting. Thanks again for the great vids.

[@mjdub]

Do all the fx and various other adjustments to each sound get carried through the individual outs (eg to a DAW) or are they only on the master outs?

[@peterpunch1]

Super!

[@creepylongstockings]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial :) Your workflow commentary offers a glimpse into your thinking and is very insightful. I am wanting to add more interesting elements for live performance so this is perfect. So fun!

[@chriswilson6118]

Yo At 2 mins 20 you press the auto fill trigger , what is it set on ? And how can I do/make that? 🙏🙏

[@DankLiveAF]

I don’t remember which one but the depth is like 4 or 5. There’s only 10 so give them all a try.

[@chriswilson6118]

@@DankLiveAF Oh ok thanks I shall have a look.🔊

Hey! Great vid. Where did you get the BT drums from? A google search doesn't surface anything :)

[@Paintbynumbers29]

Need some help….thanks to a very understanding wife and Santa- we have a TR8s! However have an issue with sound from channels- certain channels- BD, SD etc are really quiet- barely hear them. Only way to change is going into the Shift/ Inst mode and go to PAN and adjust up- can hear then, but as soon as you change pattern- no sound again……. I am bewildered!!

[@DankLiveAF]

Is it new from the factory? If so exchange it for a different unit. If you bought used or somehow can’t get you money back then try to do a factory reset. It sounds broken.

[@Paintbynumbers29]

It’s really odd! You have to add Gain and move away from PAN centre on each channel every time you change pattern?? Looking to get it replaced I think

[@GolabKitsForTR-8s]

Wow again.

[@jamesphillips2771]

Loving this tutorial, had my TR-8S for ages but never drilled down through all the menus properly, this video is great and really helping me get to grips with it at last!! Which kick are you using though, I am using the 909 bass 1 but can’t get it to sound like yours so assuming you are using something else? Thanks

[@DankLiveAF]

Hey James, I think I’m using a sample from my DBI in this video. It crushes. I have another video on the channel that is for the Drumbrute to a link for the gumroad pack I made. I’m at work right now but I’ll grab the link later. Glad you enjoyed!

[@jamesphillips2771]

Thanks so much! I have just watched a bit more and it sounds like you said it’s a sample pack from the music producer ‘BT’, if you have a link to that I’ll check it out. Thanks for quick reply too, really appreciate it 👍

What is that effect in the beginning.

[@DankLiveAF]

I think it's a scatter setting triggered as a fill.

[@riccello]

I own the tr-8s. Its a great machine but it has its flaws. One of them is that the sounds are a but dated. For modern techno, you need to upload new samples. Which it supports. Its just a pain in the ass. The best use for Tr-8s as I see it now is as midi controller for ableton. There are videos about that, so be sure to check them out.

[@mathiasrindt2796]

Mach mal richtig 😂
