Using A Roland TR-8 To Play Expressive Synths In Ableton Live

[@lvngleyptyltdnorthsideva1148]

I didn't even know I needed this until now. Thank you 😭

[@azenkwed]

good to see you on ABLETON LIVE Ean.

[@bewhereyouareimhere6425]

ahh ive missed you Ean love all the other presenters this channel has come to host but you da best bro, sorry every one else you got some catching up to do on Ean presentation skills and just how easy it is to watch him! :) keep at it man hope too see more of you this year!!!:)

[@melodieswithin2505]

Thats crazy ! DJTT/Ean Golden, you always surprise me

[@vjrei]

I like to see how people route their things and what they want to achieve. I work more with Logic. I like Ableton a lot but I am on Logic. What people need to develop is taste, no matter what equipment you have, being creative and being able to know music and become one with your tools... is when the magic comes a live.

[@WeirdoOH]

nice Video Ean. You get crazy stuff out of this maschine. for live performances this sets highlights. very enjoyable.

[@hristuppiteitinu]

Cool! This may have pushed me over the edge on buying the TR-8

[@themosso1828]

Hi, I can't connect my roland TR8 to Ableton in midi mode but only in simple audio mode .. I also have a latency when I add the effects on different instruments of the tr8 .. I am a beginner and am at the looking for answers and to know about this beautiful machine. Superb video thank you!

[@djdigitaladdict8407]

i am glad you like it...by the way, im the guy who make the tr-8 design!!!

[@noordholland648]

The outer shell?

[@joeyaltmann1]

Interesting stuff! Are these midi or audio tracks there? Still trying to figure out how the sound comes out from Ableton- Tried to connect from computer to monitors with no soune through my monitors.. Can you assist please?

[@Prog47]

Hey Ean, how about a How I Play from GusGus ? They are amazing live and their music is awesome ! Guys give this a vote so he sees it ! Thanks :D

[@djtechtools]

+Prog47 good idea!

[@lloydvallentine2]

Supposedly I get a Roland-Mx1 and then connect the TR-8, and then run it through Ableton. Will I lose the ability to monitor each instrument on the tr-8 and add effects with Ableton if the MX-1 is selected as the main audio interface?

[@ProfessorSaibertin]

Thx for the tips man.

[@TheMa5terMau5]

Carnage: “…the volume here, it just adds a whole, I don’t know what it does, it just makes everything super louder…it just makes it sound very very way more stronger.” Thumbs up if you read this in his voice!

[@nyrbsamoht]

what a RAZER BLADE where do I download it? is it a particular software on your expensive looking laptop?

[@KlangwerkRecords]

Amazing , thanks a lot !!!!! i can't wait to see the next episodes

[@sullybags1984]

Is this possible to do if my TR-8 is Routed through my MX-1???

[@EmilBrikha]

Hi Ean. Did you switch over to PC or is it just a sponsor thing?

[@Yul303]

+Emil Brikha (“Beatsnatcher”) Considering the recent razer wave of promotion around music, and the color scheme all around the video it's not really difficult to have the answer (given at the end of the video by the way). Blatant promotion is obvious.

[@djtechtools]

+Emil “Beatsnatcher” Brikha - Razer sponsored this series which allowed us to seriously upgrade our production quality and make a really nice looking video. I was personally curious about switching to the Razer Blade anyway so this was a good test opportunity. We will be publishing my Laptop review of the Blade on DJ TechTools soon, in which I make the call on if a switch is possible. - Ean Golden

[@EmilBrikha]

+DJ TechTools It certainly is a great looking video, congrats. I've always been curious about the PC vs Mac for no other reason than streamlining my world and I had enough of PC when Mac specs started to drizzle down in price compared to high end PCs a couple of years back. Anyway, always interesting to keep one ear to the rail to see what's what. And oh, I never told you... We had a son 8 months ago, and named him after you :D www.fatherologist.com... No really, we did. Good luck, looking forward to seeing the laptop review!

[@macboogieland2897]

+DJ TechTools ean youre such a sell out!!!!! haha jk jk. but i hope you dont get rid of the famous dj techtools wall, aka the famous backfrop for EVERY video

[@Yul303]

+macboogieland Seconded, we all love that wall ^^

[@s7official254]

Why do i have latency, is there any way to get rid of it ?? i press spacebar and play on my mac but tr8s plays a bit delayed all the time any way to fix it ??

[@MikeNovelli]

Glad to see you using a Windows machine :-)

[@WeirdoOH]

a Windows Maschine in the same price range as an Apple Macbook :D

[@ruxiwang9571]

hey I set my tr8 to ctrl mode but my live doesn't receive any midi... could anyone help me?

[@chrissmith8784]

How on earth are you only getting sound playback through the daw. I get a double up of sound using my tr8s and ableton . Cant turn the output of my tr8s off!!

[@AustinGraff]

I have this same issue

[@lloydvallentine2]

@@AustinGraff Start the tr-8 with pattern button, then in that menu set all the instruments to go trough B or A, you will lose the effects but you can get playback trough DAW.

[@aliasghar907]

wutsup Ean so nice to see you... ;D

[@chrisarias4055]

Hi I need help with my tr8 and my ddjRR. The ddjRR doesn't have a midi cable is there any other way I can link them that tight?

[@asura6733]

Isn't the resonator a form of delay, rather than a synth?

[@Lextrak]

Hello, thanks a lot for your tuto. Every things seems to be ok but I still have one problem : when I switch monitor to on, I heard twice the sound of my TR : once with the synth effect and one with the normal sound. so the sound become dirty and the instrument like BD are saturated I have noticed that even with the track activator on off, the sound of the TR is still here... How can I cut the signal from the TR, and keep only the sound from ableton with effect you are showing ? Thanks by advance :)

[@patanagreg]

Great video. Random question, where did you get those oversized green knobs?

[@iliilili310]

Really?!

[@PCB-]

Looks like they may be same ones available here-> store.djtechtools.com/products/chroma-caps-knobs-and-faders

[@Minecrafter0004]

Has anyone done this with the TR8S?

[@ironspade]

whats the cheapest version of ableton where this is possible?

[@macboogieland2897]

how is this all synked without latency? if you turn on the metronome, will it be in time?

[@macboogieland2897]

+Mahony Rakete hm, you mean driver error compensation, in ableton, right? if you dont mind me asking, what do you do when you increase the delay in your daw (to be in sync with external gear), and therefore cant use any other midi controllers, since those will have crazy delay now? i use maschine as a vst in ableton. when i adjust driver error compensation to be able to sequence my external synth from ableton, i just cant use maschine anymore, because the latency is so obvious. but i cant really keep going to the preferences in live everytime i want to switch what im using.... any advice? :D

[@denism6271]

Alors j'hésite entre le Roland tr8 et touch 2 pouvez vous m'aider dans mon choix

[@oriovadia4018]

HI I have roalnd MX 1 how I record the mastring option to my track in cubase 7.5

[@neonfluxustrash]

Merci

[@holotropik]

Haha! Just been doing this with my old Korg Er-1 these past few weeks.

[@naoisewoods839]

how do you have each drum as separate midi track pleeease?

[@rishibawa]

Naoise Woods - not sure if this is what you're looking to do but in session view if you go to the top of your drum channel there should be a small arrow next to the name you can click. What SHOULD then happen is the entire thing opens up with individual channels for each drum. Hope this is what you were looking for :)

[@EuropressMusic]

nice to see djs that started with overprized apple notebooks now switching to overprized razer laptops ;D

how dare you say "a simple little device" when speaking about the Grain Delay. I've been trying to learn this device for the last 19 years of my life!!!

[@8-BitHeart79]

You said Natural knobs lol! My girl has natural knobs I like to twist!... Although the sounds are a bit different from what you're getting here. ;0)

[@andrewgjordeni]

not easy

[@KirillTitov]

Non-retina picture looks so ugly...

[@flomoller6096]

Ableton comes with all the 808 sounds. No need to buy an extra tr-8

[@pquic]

don't waste your time with a mixer that's showing you how to use presets that's a scam you wont achieve almost anything this way learn how oscillators, envelopes, filters and the other basics work both alone and together it will save your career as a electronic sound maker/musician and so on this guy is showing you how to rely on other people's work to be able to do yours I've been watching Ean since the midi fighter's creation and im at the very least not impressed want to know why well.. years ago about the time of the midi fighter was came up for the first time i knew nothing about this stuff now years later i do and i didn't learn any of it with the help of dj techtools although back then i almost bought a midi controller from them of course the only reason being me thinking that i need it because it was advertised well to people who dont know about this stuff dont be a mixer be a creator you will mix all you want when they start booking you for your own music not just because you can beatmach a couple of tracks with fx using a midi controller

[@tecuenloquetedije8337]

seriously 41% cpu peaks with this computer? this sponsor is completely noob, next time Control Panel \ Hardware and Sound \ Power Options high performance.....
