Stimming Interview: How I Play

[@carlosfsilvac]

This guy is simply an icon for me, his music touches my soul.

[@jaybenedetti3914]

if you mix to many color's what you get is brown .....great quot for any dj/ producers

[@WHYZMAN_]

Idk what if you like the color brown though?

[@jenniferspektor9673]

@@WHYZMAN_ yea what's wrong with brown

[@jimmypeeps8471]

@@jenniferspektor9673 it's ugly, the colour of poo.

[@yotrakzproductions7324]

“…as a producer I don’t want to get influenced…so I don’t really have a clue as to what’s going on in dance music.” Yesss! I love it. Cool philosophy friend. It’s like, why am I trying to sound like everyone else? I do what I LIKE! Yeah, nice.

[@LouisSerieusement]

could you make a new "how I play" video with stimming ? He changes his setup a lot

[@Michalfx]

I'm loving this concept of 'how I play'. Its just interesting to see the thought and decisions the DJ's/Artist make with their setups and the effect it has on the performance :D

[@dablckman]

I would LOVE to see Stimming play live

[@kumudtsering]

Fucking agree me too

[@matiascardone]

I attended to his show at tomorrowland brasil 2015 and it was mindblowing. Serious stuff!!!

[@jp00738]

IT´S FUCKING AMAZING, I saw him on tomorrowland brazil 2016 and he has been my favourite dj since it

[@jean-patrickpelletier4162]

Album release tour @ Stereobar, Montreal. What a journey!

[@7erdogdu]

I saw him live in Istanbul. It was great.

[@ArcticAnalysis]

Very inspirational, staying in his own basement musically, that focus on creating sound with it being like a program, love this guy

[@MaximumHeresy]

Awesome video. Please start/keep doing the How I Plays and I will keep viewing.

[@djtechtools]

MaximumHeresy Thanks! Who else would you like to see?

[@R34LPL4Y3R]

DJ TechTools Paul Kalkbrenner would be awesome :D

[@simontratnik]

DJ TechTools John Talabot, Moderat, Flying Lotus, Jon Hopkins, Machinedrum

[@RhysvonGroening]

DJ TechTools Black Coffee & Alexkid

[@MaximumHeresy]

DJ TechTools Honestly I was not aware of Stimming until today so I like the fact that you are showing us artists period. Perhaps DJ Kutski if he has any technique to offer? Otherwise I would be happy with surprises from different genres. I always found Keys N Krates setup and synergy fascinating.

[@PimSecle]

Dance scene needs more artists like Stimming. Awesome

[@shisorucola4466]

There are many other ways to use Ableton more spontaneously, but It's very helpful of him to be so clear and honest about how he's done all those large gigs. He's a great engineer and producer.

[@sebastianm7300]

incredibly talented.

[@BazeSelecta]

It is probably one of the best dj techtools video that i have see till now.... Martin Stimming is a powerfull creator & producer of sound.... its really interesting to see the view of this guy about software music like ableton, traktor,... and what we have to reach for next dj software generation cause till now the software djs are not so intuitive that instruments... that's we have to strive... thats the goal for perfect dj/producing software

[@XxRaderDelBloquexX]

Even if its old this video gave me so many ideas about how to improve my live setup. I know now hes rocking with two octotracks, but still this setup he had was very well put together and clever Stimming is a great artist and engineer

[@ebrahimosborne892]

This guy never fails to amaze me, musical genius!

[@MichaelToop]

Love the passion then and the passion is still ongoing in 2024!

[@vlad_gur]

Lovely! I'm always thought about Stimming`s cuisine and now I see that he is true musician! Thanks a lot to DJTT for this video! Best regards from St.-Petersburg

[@maxavery244]

so much respect for people like this guy!! I found out about this ages ago when I first started LOVING Daft Punk

[@HiHelloHeyHello]

Just musician. Love his approach.

[@gabrielhohagen4172]

huge video! thank you Stimming for open it up and DJTT for the interview =) cheers!

[@Lhenndyn]

More radical and intuitive : octatrack ! Make sens ! And now he is a master of the octatrack... Great musicien.

[@spaghettipopsicle]

literally the best live performance I have ever seen

[@sacb99t]

TJ .W sign! saw him at fusion festival in germany this yeah. it was a manifestation

[@dankefurnichts]

need a new interview! martin is now playing with 2 octatracks and a roland SE-02 synth :)

[@m0n0c0n]

really nice! didnt know him before and now i am a fan....

[@BernyCarreon]

Cant stop watching this... 4:18 - 5:13 best part.

[@jean-patrickpelletier4162]

Track name before the drop?

[@Envinite]

Ikr. That 'woody' delay on the start is out of this world/

[@TonyChurch112]

Worst part

[@Deka10De]

Stimming - Sunday Morning

[@chaz-e]

The build was great but the drop was less appealing.

[@els1f]

Wow, this was really great. And, that part with the moog!

[@6884]

I'd love to see how the new setup with Octatrack and Rytm works!

If you choose too many colors, what you get is brown! GENIUS!!!

[@thetunnelmedia]

respect for this musician

[@timmi123456789able]

Yes! Please make more of these videos!

[@RasmussenFrank]

[@NiCkUs1998CoOl]

Hi DJ tech tools! First of al i want to say that i love all the video's you guys post here! Secondly, i wanted to ask if there is ever going to be a giveaway, or a competion where you van win stuff? (I'm sorry for my englisch, its nog perfect,i'm from belgium ;) )

[@djtechtools]

NiCkUs1998CoOl Thanks! What would you want to win?

[@ProlePatrolMusic]

DJ TechTools dj controllers, and other dj gear!!

[@NiCkUs1998CoOl]

DJ TechTools what's to win doesn't matter for me, i would even be happy with smal things like a free sample pack, or some chroma caps, or something like that :)

[@bonedface]

+DJ TechTools jus chroma caps and chroma cables, is that cool?

[@Gizmotechno]

Yes! Stimming is such a boss!

[@eluherlu]

Love the dynamic of his music..

[@AdnanAlsannaa]

You guys should do more of these!!!

[@nephildevil]

Pretty much the same idea I had with my jams, but perfected by a pro. Set up a beat or melody, and once that's rolling knock urself out improvising on your main keyboard, synth, ... or I guess drum pad if you can handle playing a live beat on top of another.

[@AlexanderFrom]

Mooore... Moree How I Plays discussion's. Thx for Stimming

[@curtofatosreais]

Sim,Chegaras la Stimming e em breve estaremos juntos. Gosto e me inspiro nas tuas tecnicas!

[@Mobbsbloodmoney]

I'd be interested at several Afterlife artists...

[@sssncodesstuff3364]

@@Mobbsbloodmoneythere is not really much other AL artists than AoT playing live, others are doing DJ sets mostly, i would be really interested in "how i produce" with almost all of them tho :)

[@hermit8244]

Awesome series, it would be much more helpful if you could include things such as the exact models they use and any info on complicated wiring(not necessary all the time).

[@ChanceDevlin]

Great discussion thanks for posting!

Und jetzt bitte alles nochmal auf deutsch... :-P nein, ich verstehe dein Englisch schon ganz gut. ;) GENIAL was für Töne so aus deiner Technik kommen.. ! Und noch viel genialer, was du damit machst. Danke für die Blumen Stimming!

[@alexandrugiscan2347]

Having 3 instead of 4 busses, done that for a while then moved to 5, using the 5th for fx's/athmo. 4 is way better than 3 unless you dont use vocals.Using vocals or just wanting to have control over your baselines is definitely a 4 bus job. In the end its all about preferences...

[@Gator9988]

Which soundcard is he using to perform like this?

[@spunicunifait2697]

I spotted an RME BabyFace

[@MissionFitnessCTC]

Really cool video!

Danke Stimming

[@Mr0zzy99]

Stimming come to Malmö!

[@Gulleplutten987]

I really love the way he explains everything, and it's very informativ. But what i don't like about Stimmin is he's nerdy way of trying to be so unique and exclusive.

[@androbot6807]

does anyone know what kind of Moog he's using?

[@silvans.7529]

this is what i was wondering too. it look like an improved moog one with a 2nd screen but idk

[@alfiolora]

Moog Voyager , with blue lights edition

[@stefanmadrax]

Can someone tell me which moog synthesizer is that?

[@Lensys]

Would love to know too.

[@fuzzupuzzu]

moog voyager

[@stefanmadrax]

Thx man!

[@AndaWinata]

it's obviously Moog Voyager

[@AlanComer83]

Fantastic!

[@Ryan.Anderson80]

Wow. So impressive

[@bboymac84]

I like this guy!!

[@nkearney]

So he uses 3 buses of his music, and then 4 more? I'm confused. Could someone who understood explain the other 4 tracks that he is using in Ableton? Are they another song? Thanks.

[@spoymusic]

basically, his 3 buses equal 1 let's call it "regular dj channel", just split in stems. so to mix his tunes with one another, he needs 2 "regular dj channels" which = 6 tracks in ableton. next channel (7) is an audio input from OP1 and the next one (8) is the input from Voyager, that's it! :) very neat setup and a very talented producer!

[@nkearney]

Oh, wow. I was just confused. It looked like he had 3 tracks with samples loaded, and then 4 next to it. That makes sense though, since the APC (whatever model that is) has 8 channels. Thank you!

[@spoymusic]

Nicholas Kearney you're welcome! :)

[@finewithlosing]

freakin genius this man

[@DenisG7]

Lmao...actually we are the same) with one mark - I use microbrute&kontakt synths on 7 & 8 tracks

[@alvarc3675]

The level he is trying to reach has a name already...kink

[@JoelKosa13]

Anyone have an idea of the sound card he is using?

[@dankeshn2002]

Janosch Marek Sunday Mornif Stimming

[@finnbela9391]

thx :)

[@aries8536]

I'm not complaining but it seems all of the "How I Play"'s contain DJs who use either Ableton or NI (or both)

[@LJM2stepspain]

Because if not the only other option is mostly CDJ's and a mixer which at that point most of those DJ's don't know anything about them other than they can plug a flash-drive in. Not trash talking, but I do know quite a few people who would look like idiots if you asked them to talk about features on a DJM or especially a CDJ.

[@aries8536]

LJM2stepspain well I use a mixture of Serato and Ableton

[@lacosingalerneb8543]

I know IT made Three years you said this ans they didnt Do an "how i Play" about him but Ceephax Acid Crew didnt use either...he uses only hardware...really nice musician!!
