[@RRAMG0N]

broooooooo! You are locked in. 🫡

[@ronnham]

Absolute legend and 100% an inspiration. There isn't a set that I play without at least one of your tracks being there. I went above and beyond to get all your LP releases too :)

[@Jester_1999]

Respects 💯

[@jackgalloway8314]

UK representing. Big ups!!

[@IhorMedia]

Thanks for an inspiring tour!

[@willdhaggard]

I didn't know you can route audio back through the Elektron boxes and then into a DAW via Overbridge. That's very cool.

[@frallorfrallor3410]

elektron boxes got audio inputs and works like a audio interface

[@noodlesushii]

this is by far the coolest studio i've seen. if i ever get a permanent setup, i'll copy this studio. love the black theme

[@foreverunknown23]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@vitadziubetska]

It’s so nice to hear your voice 🤍 Thanks for this useful video!

[@c4guy]

I would love some of your syntakt and digitakt sounds.

[@ST.150]

The video we've been waiting for. Presentation is on-point as usual

[@setito]

you are a gem- thank you for taking the time to give us a peak behind the scenes. i'm inspired to dial in my setup so that it allows for as much creative freedom as possible

[@sentientnumbersix3583]

Love your videos man!

[@vinylarchaeologist]

How surprising to hear you speak 🧡This made my day! Much love from Berlin

[@jamesaranson3863]

Not much of a day then!

[@vinylarchaeologist]

@@jamesaranson3863 Fantastic reply. You‘ve managed to be rude both towards him and me. Quite the achievement.

[@jamesaranson3863]

Your welcome! Rude to him? How? Yan is legend ,his music speaks for its self ,not his voice ,other than literally ! I'm just not a phonophile like yourself 😉

[@JoeyJordis0n19]

Thanks for sharing, amazing setup 😍

[@bodziolomza14]

Great video man. I'm happy to hear all that stuff about connections between those instruments. That's the reason why i someday will start to build a modular synth :D

[@joeldichter1320]

Danke 🙏

[@frank_mm]

Thanks for show your studio.

[@sesvx0]

what a lesson. thank you!

[@milesmacquarrie5851]

Thanks for this video. Very focused studio. Love it.

[@AlexBaranets]

[@daflux7]

very cool stuff

[@ianarsenal1]

Thanks Yan, great to see inside your setup and inspiring me too buy more equipment :)

[@james26695]

Love this setup

[@arc1350]

Nice setup man ! No excuses!

[@howaboutno7980]

master at work

[@djrandomjavabass]

Great tour.

[@proproducer7726]

MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@slavestudios47]

the usb keypad... had my dBlue Glitch mapped to that for years. great vid. really appreciate it.

[@hdslave]

Blessed to get this walk through from one of the greatest artists of our time 👽

[@TheOmoncreiffe]

Very clean setup

[@dremorant]

big fan of your music man.

[@OrionB1498]

Nice Kitchen Chef. Salute 👊

[@db_030]

Cool vid! But I was really surprised when you mentioned the HD 25s being your main monitoring source 😁

[@dmitrijbarna]

nice setup

[@andor4063]

Amazing video, insightful as always. Also I loved the style of your tutorial videos but it's nice that your voice is heard and you should try tutorials in the same style! Also, if you have time to make a video like this about your template and workflow using the setup or the push specifically it could help out someone like me who shares a lot of similarities in the setup but struggle to get the template or approach to not make devices scary but fun on occasion, but actually a net positive to getting sht done. But for a broader audience reach and not my specific struggle just a general video about Yan Cook's Push techno workflow might peak a lot of others' interest

[@DJPatrickBushmanofficialpage]

great setup yan cook make you more ableton tutorials techno simple

[@AlejandroNegreira-lr2tp]

What you do is very good, I don't understand the language, but I know what it is about, congratulations

[@KingMxP]

9:09 please make a song from that beat 😮‍💨

[@DiegoFuego87]

Very sweet setup! I have some thing similar with 2x Digi’s, Peak, monosynths and an APC40. Would really love to know the writing and specifically arranging / performing process. I’ve been ITB for many years and slowly getting my head round a hybrid setup I’m having way more fun but the process is longer, and a bit more fragmented/compartmentalised in some ways. Would love to know how you get from idea to finished track with such an interesting setup! 😊

[@nkearney]

Looks like you monitor each individual input from the Syntakt in Overbridge. Do you have any strategy for monitoring the Analog FX block track? You will get the audio from the individual track as well as the FX track if you monitor all inputs, which will lead to some sounds being much louder. Thanks for any feedback!

[@sinesoundmukke4359]

Thank you Yan, very informative and I appreciate your insight. What type of audio interface do you use?

[@YanCook]

Focusrite Scarlett 18i8

[@tomasjorn850]

Обожнюю дфам, instant techno machine.

[@el_dani]

Very nice video, especially about the connection stuff, so no Midi clock problema via 2 Overbridge devices? Do you use Push 3 in standalone?

[@YanCook]

Correct, no midi clock problems. My version of Push is not standalone.

[@deself]

Really happy that you made this, I was interested in knowing more about your workflow and studio set. I think you do a live set too, right? Would love to see a breakdown of that as well, if and when you ever feel like it 😉 One question, what stands are you using for the Digitakt & Syntakt? Are those just laptop stands? Thanks!

[@YanCook]

Yeah, those are foldable laptop stands, about 10€ each.

[@SourDiesel69]

Hope you’re doing ok if you’re still in Kiev. Bought a hydrasynth and MPC today. Going to add a laptop and ableton a year from now.

[@tookmusic]

What speakers are you using? Love your setup 👌

[@YanCook]

Kali Audio LP6 V2

[@Evanngelos]

The track at 8:38 is insane. Has it been released?

[@YanCook]

I haven't finished it yet :D

[@joserancel6255]

Hello..very nice video...can i sync the clock my moog dfam with the hydrasynth? ...and other question..is the ableton push the standalone version? Thanks

[@heckmanofficial]

Thanks! I was wondering why you don’t use the digitone anymore?

[@YanCook]

Syntakt has completely replaced Digitone and Analog Four for me, + I already have 2 polyphonic synths.

[@Faisproducer]

Really nice setup. Can I ask what your MacBook specs are?

[@YanCook]

M1 Pro, 16GB RAM.

[@giordanourettini4908]

Amazing, i wanted to ask how do you manage to have each elektron track on an individual track on ableton, i only manage to have all of the tracks combined! thank you

[@YanCook]

Overbridge on a midi channel, muted, and all the Syntakt tracks on audio channels. It is in the manual and there are a bunch of videos on that, a very simple process ))

[@douglasfugazi]

What happened with the Roland TR-6S 😢

[@Brune-jf2qe]

hey! Hello hello! Very clean et cool studio! I have a syntakt send midi to torso T1 and send the midi to Peak and use also Scarlet 18, but its not stable, i have latency problème...:( Mac M2, can you tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

[@mrfuriousmother]

Hey Yan, did you get rid of your digitone? Do you prefer the syntakt and digitakt combo?

[@YanCook]

I do, Syntakt completely replaced Digitone for me, so I sold it.

[@hod4r]

привіт друже) продакшн потужно звучить👍 самостійно мастериш?

[@YanCook]

Дякую! Так, доречі в мене є відео на каналі про мій мастерінг чейн)

[@jmcg123]

Hi Yan, have you released any Syntakt project packs? Would be an instant purchase for me.

[@YanCook]

I'm actually working on that 🙃

[@Dddlllfff]

what stand are you using for the Peak?

[@YanCook]

On-Stage MIX400 Stand.

[@Artek604]

Awesome! What's the Macbook specs, though?

[@YanCook]

Apple M1 Pro, 16GB RAM, 10 CPU/16 GPU Core.

[@Artek604]

@@YanCook Thanks! Btw, love your music style and your albums. Can you recommend other similar artists that you yourself are listening to?

[@YanCook]

@@Artek604 So many good Techno artists right now, maybe check these 2 labels, to start) Hayes Token

[@delugedj]

Nice clean setup. Do you have any online courses Yan?

[@YanCook]

I have a course on Home of Sound: www.homeofsound.co.uk/p/yan-cook-masterclass-making-a-techno-track-from-start-to-finish

[@delugedj]

Great! Bought your sample pack. Yummy! Love your music man, big inspiration, thanks for that

[@delugedj]

@@YanCook Will nab this also, cheers mate!

[@tacticalgrooveorbit2379]

are you using overbridge for the Elektron machines?

[@YanCook]

Yes

[@musicShji]

Hi, do you think a Faderfox EC4 is better then Midifighter Twister?

[@YanCook]

I've never tried the Twister, it looks similar, but I think EC4 is a bit more compact.

[@moodlesmodular]

The part about syntakt vs digitakt was interesting. Why is one good for low and the other for high end?

[@YanCook]

Well because synthesis is a lot more versatile, and for the high frequencies it's enough for me to just use samples from Roland TR8S, which I love, + this way I have 20 channels to work with, which is plenty 🙃

[@moodlesmodular]

Do you find that kicks and subs require a lot more customization and finessing?

[@YanCook]

@@moodlesmodular Not necessarily, I just love to work with Syntakt and how it sounds)) You can make awesome tracks with just samples, this is what I used to do for years.

[@jmcg123]

How did you get the Syntakt and Digitakt to send accurate midi sync to other devices while in overbridge mode? When I try this the midi being sent out of Syntakt is out of sync with Ableton... Ricky Tinez who works at Elektron did a whole video on getting this to work and needed a separate midi interface so I assumed it couldn't be done... Let me know your secret!?

[@YanCook]

No secret, it just works)) Maybe you have audio latency? This can be a problem if your device's audio output goes to your audio interface.

[@AstronoizeOfficial]

What camera are you using to film this?

[@YanCook]

I'm using Panasonic G9II + Lumix 14mm f2.5 lens.

[@shepodcast3192]

хороше в1део! лайк лайк лайк лайк! по б1льше б розмовного контету в1д тебе

[@medicamus]

Hi Yan ! I was wondering if you are processing multi-tracks on stereo with overbridge ? It doesn't work with my Analog Keys, the multi-tracking is mono, but maybe it's just not possible with the Keys.

[@YanCook]

The overbridge multi-tracking is in mono. But the FX track is stereo.

[@medicamus]

@@YanCook Ok thanks, that's what i thought .. a little bit annoying for lfo with panning stuff but you're right, FX stereo is doing most of the stereo :) working perfectly for me after optimising usb connections, no latency at all

[@geryverlinden6843]

No Digitone anymore ?

[@kirillbelotserkovsky7305]

Наааайс
