What You did with minimal gear.....is Awesome!!!!!!... Bravo!!!!🌬️🍺

[@AnalogKitchen]

Could have probably even done more! But it works! And it’s a ton of fun 🤩

[@oystercatcher943]

I have a DAW and software synths. I will almost certainly not play live. But seeing the grooves you produce with simple themes and incredible attention to the sounds is just mesmerising. Thanks!

[@AnalogKitchen]

Never say never. Just join the dark side. You’ll like it here

[@masterd.7052]

Very inspirational! Thanks Lucien! My favorite two box setup would be a Circuit Tracks and a S1.

[@jtrace-444]

S1 is a Magical lil box.👍

[@AnalogKitchen]

I will get into that circuit! Promised!

[@toffchunks]

Excellent congrats!!!!❤🎉😊

[@noir4356]

Awesome showcase of musical skills and Octatrack mastery. I'm taking my hat off.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thank you! 🙏

[@sgsrules]

It's great to see you give the Typhon some love. I remember you posting new gear pics a while ago with a Typhon in it but I never saw you use it till now.

[@AnalogKitchen]

If I had to enter the confession corner (such a channel exits on my discord), I’d have to admit that I snoozed in it! I got one and then o hated the workflow so I let it collect dust. Then I saw Kink do the craziest techno sound on it and I thought to give it a proper spin. I’m hitting myself in the face as we speak 🗣️. It’s awesome

[@Daniel-ot8gg]

Thanks again, you are one of the best on yt

[@AnalogKitchen]

Wow, thanks! Spread the word!

[@Dekkie61]

Pretty close to the basis of my studio+live gig. I have the Digitakt instead of the Octatrack. Love having an Elektron box with the Typhon. I add an S1, TD3, Plinky or Circuit Tracks, depending on my mood/needs, but Typhon & Digi are always the basis.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Sounds portable and powerful! Nice setup!

[@videosarchive8058]

Thank you for the inspiration. Would love to see a video of your Octatrack effects process

[@AnalogKitchen]

Great idea. Noted!

[@chambre466]

love you man, and also your OT

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thank you!

[@ApeBoy1787]

Cool setup man 👍

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks so much

[@ketama047]

So true, good video 🤓

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thank you. Sometimes it needs saying.

[@MatthewFolstad]

Well said

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thank you! 🙏

[@peterbakker9531]

Cool to see the advanced techniques of the Octatrack in a live situation! Do you also make use of the lfo settings of the Octatrack to sounddesign the Typhon? And do the Typhon receives program changes of the Octatrack?

[@AnalogKitchen]

Yes on the program changes, not yet on the LFOs. That’s next! Thanks 🙏

[@py_a_thon]

The only thing I think that is worth adding to a minimalist setup like that is a simple mixing board(if required), and maybe a few SIMPLE effects (reverb/delay, and maybe a flanger tbh. Some synths seem to play really nice with a light flanger touch, in my experience atleast.) If the goal is true minimalism tho, yeah...I have heard alot of seriously good music made on just 1 machine. And not even a super fancy one.

[@py_a_thon]

My bad. That is basically exactly what you setup in a way. (Sorry. I posted a few comments before watching the full video.)

[@AnalogKitchen]

Hahahaha

[@py_a_thon]

@@AnalogKitchen Never underestimate a slight flange on a sonically dense sound. That can sound so epic. The sound spins in perceived 3D space so epically, imo. Seating it properly in the mix is the difficulty perhaps. Multi-pole phasers are also kinda awesome...yet very difficult to use. Especially live set mode. See: Simon Posford, of Shpongle fame lol. That dude is a master of EQ3 and phasing. Shoutout to recent content from CloZee. She has done some very similar and awesome ideas over the past decade.

[@impbox]

Very nice video! Inspiring to do some techno sets with less gear. You can use all 16 scenes on slot B by the way, though it's harder to reach one handed.

[@impbox]

Another thing with the OT midi tracks you could make them all target the same synth with different sequences, or mix different sequences together.

[@AnalogKitchen]

I know, but for my workflow I’d rather have one specific track that can be easier edited

[@KanzeNYC]

I love your videos but you have 16 scenes for both B & A on the Octatrack mk2.

[@AnalogKitchen]

I know. Thanks!

[@matthudson1904]

If you want to record whilst playing the chromatic keyboard on the Octatrack hold the record button and press play rather than trying to press the two together

[@AnalogKitchen]

Yes. I knew that but the octa is one of those boxes 📦 that if you don’t flirt with it daily, you forget things. Thanks for pointing it out

[@matthudson1904]

@@AnalogKitchen you need to take it out for a 5 course meal every now and again haha

[@erikfischer2443]

Any of the Elektron A4,AR are techno🤟

[@AnalogKitchen]

They are!

[@notsure1135]

I just wish Apple would put macOS on the iPad. I would run Bitwig on my iPad.

[@AnalogKitchen]

That would not be very Dawless though. And I doubt if any big promoter would book an act that shows up with just an iPad and pay the big bucks for it.

[@notsure1135]

@@AnalogKitchen okay, sure; laptops are more legitimate. What was I thinking? Nobody cares, they just want good music.

[@KurtLorenz]

❤❤❤

[@AnalogKitchen]

Back at ya Kurt!

[@IacopoAntonelli]

Do you master the audio of your videos? Or does it come like this directly from the zoom recorder?

[@AnalogKitchen]

It comes directly from the zoom like this. I always say, get great sounds out of the gate and level them well

[@IacopoAntonelli]

@@AnalogKitchen thanks you, sounds great indeed!

[@py_a_thon]

4:25 The DAW is the laboratory and the live-use hardware is the kitchen? lol

[@py_a_thon]

I would say you should grab the name DigitalLaboratory for another channel (yet that name is probably claimed lol).

[@AnalogKitchen]

That’s not a bad idea actually

[@py_a_thon]

@@AnalogKitchen Seems like someone who already does some content on youtube has "DigitalLaboratory". I'm sure a logical variation is possible lol. DigiLab, DAW_science, whoknowsLoUdSoUndBoomBap lol

Emperor's new clothes. They eventually will find out

[@AnalogKitchen]

They will. There’s no hiding 😶‍🌫️

[@johnstewart8132]

Hard to hear, for some but yip, tried and tested the more you keep buying new equipment the more blocks in your way learn to use what you've got plus learning to recreate a drum Sound or percussionist chewibg gum from scratch on your mono bass synth etc. Same with other machines. Limitations can be turned around too help creativity Instead of trying to learn and constantly adding new stuff to learn from scratch unless you feel you need new kit ie central machine or smaller units . Practice, patience and Self Belief !!

[@AnalogKitchen]

Love you John. And thanks for being here. Speak to ya on Friday bro 😎
