Thank you!

Cheers!

Mission accomplished then! Thank you

I'm sorry, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. By 'this' do you mean is there lots of sampling in the video, or is the digitakt good for sampling? or something else?

That's cool, thank you for the kind words! Yeah, it'll end up on bandcamp and all the usual streaming platforms, most of my jams do :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

oh hey! thanks for checking it out!

Thank you!

Ha thank you, you don't know what it means to read that. I spent hours going in circles yesterday tweaking the drums levels, recording and listening back. I guess the drums sounding clean is largely down to the sound of the samples themselves. Only post production is putting the track through Ozone, which in this case took some of the low end out and did some limiting. That probably helps with stuff sounding clear. You can probably tell I'm not very technical about it all, I just focus on the tune and then try and get it sounding ok enough.

@@sadlantis I can definitely hear the time spent in it with regards to all the tweaks and getting it sound clean because to me it sounds really really smooth so much so it made me ask 🙂👍🏻 What’s ozone? Do you use ableton or anything like this to export them to wav? I’m just interested because I’ve seen people with good samples make it sound rubbish when it comes to processing a track and converting and then when they start playing on the speakers it sounds really different???? Anyway I think it’s awesome 👏 Do you make your own samples from synths etc? Or do you get them in like packs and stuff? It’s interesting I like sound design and I’m a bit of a noob to all that kind of stuff

Sorry, I should have said. Yes I use Ableton. Ozone is a mastering plugin, but I've only got the basic free version. Export from Ableton 16 bit, 44.1. Most of the samples I use are from splice. I haven't experimented with making my own samples yet, but it's something I definitely intend on trying. Hope this helps a bit!

I did?

Cool, thank you! Yeah, they are. I record them into Ableton at the end but all the chopping and arranging for every single video on my channel has been 100% Digitakt. Enjoy your DT2!

I'm gonna assume that's a good 'wow' - thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Cheers Josh!

Thanks! There seems to be some weird compression going on - not sure if it's youtube or the way I've exported/uploaded it. oh well!

That bad?

@@sadlantis on the contrary. that GOOD

Thank you! I do not have an album (yet) but most of my music is on bandcamp, and also on all the usual streaming sites. cheers

Thank you!

@@sadlantis 🙂

Hey, thanks a lot!

I don't want to dissuade you but a good chunk of this was made on my og Digitakt. Obviously that version was only 8 tracks and not stereo. Which features on the II are tempting you?

What a powerful answer! It the tenth time I put the II on a basket online and still close windows and said I got what I already need!

100% agree!

@@sadlantis Mainly added storage space, extra 8 tracks, stereo sampling and the time stretching.

@@RhettShull Fair enough. I always said if there was a stereo digitakt it would be an instant buy for me. the fact the II had 16 tracks and more storage, both per project and overall, was the icing on the cake. I haven't found the time stretching good tbh, but maybe that's just me. if/when you do get the II let me know what you think.

Cheers Kevin!

appreciated, thank you!

It is definitely a wild instrument ha! Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

Thank you! Do you have one ordered or are you just hoping to get one soon?

Thanks a lot!

Ha I've done that before, though not with my own music! Thank you, that gave me a good laugh.

Thanks! I'm not familiar with kingdom hearts so just having a listen now :)

Cheers!

@@sadlantis 👽👽👽

no, thank you!

❤️

Ha thank you! I try my best

Thank you! So you didn't get on with the digitakt so you tried octatrack instead? How did that work out?

@@sadlantis haha.. yeah..🤒 I bought the Digitakt right when it was released, and I got the Octatrack nearly two years ago. They are similar yet very different. The great advantage of the OT is that if you want to perform live while handling other external instruments, it is very versatile. It has a steeper learning curve compared to the Digitakt, but it’s very special. After this time and having changed my workflow, I would now choose the DT mk2 with much better insight.

That's cool. I got my original Digitakt after one of my friends bought an octatrack. It looked cool but I wanted to try something cheaper and simpler first! Still haven't tried an octatrack yet, I will one day though!

Alive like bees? :) Thanks man, this took a long time to get to a point where I was happy with it.

That's really cool of you to say, thank you!

Thank you!

cheeky!

@@sadlantis 😅😅😅😅

@@EVILJAMARR You are right though, it's been too long.

@@sadlantis I intend to guilt-trip you into making music for your fans 😁

@@EVILJAMARR well at least you're honest about it

Thank you! I think so. I wasn’t keen on all the changes initially but I’ve got used to it now. How do you like the tracker mini? I’ve been watching a lot of videos on it recently - it looks cool but does seem quite big for a handheld device.

@@sadlantis it's actually really small. It's perfect for creating little rhythmic and harmonic varied sequences. I do wish it had more effects. Probably end up selling mine because I use my torso S4 and cassette 4 track recorder more.

Thank you! So have you made a decision?

@sadlantis There is a guy not too far from where I live selling a dt2 "used" but basically new because he's having a hard time with the workflow/learning curve. If he can reasonably discount it, I will likely buy it. I was planning on going to a synth expo in a few weeks. Elektron is one of the vendors that will be present.

Aw thank you!

Hey, thank you!

I'm on it.

@@sadlantis 🙏

Thank you. I think it’s worth the price but I wanted to get away from my daw and use something more hands-on. The digitakt is very immediate which is also good if you’re a beginner. Having said that if you’re happy using your daw I’d stick with that if I was you. Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot :)

That's cool, thank you

Hi, yes, all the sounds are chopped up/mangled samples.

Appreciated, thank you.
