Been a fan for a while, bought several albums, your book and have been watching your videos for about a year. I’ve bought several pieces of equipment based solely on your recommendation. You’re a huge inspiration for me. It’s super cool to actually hear you talk about your process. I look forward to hearing more about your work flow. I will definitely be supporting you w/ Patreon!
Your videos are a constant source of inspiration. I've just recently started my journey towards making music, so seeing/hearing you with yours helps more than you'll ever know!
Thank you for sharing your process. The Octatrack is probably the most elusive piece of gear in my setup but also the most intriguing. Your tutorial really helps me to understand it better.

Just, wow. Like the new types of the video. Keep up the good works and have fun while doing it!
Cool concept and awesome execution. Really like that you showed what you did. I learned some cool tricks for the MPC thanks to this video, so thank you for that!
This is so cool. I love seeing behind the scenes a little, and how your style starts to emerge from the samples as you get things together in the octa.
found your videos last night and i am blown away -- you are easily the most musical octatrack user ive ever seen... @elektron -- take note and hire Jay to make demo videos!!
I really like the Octratrack but I'm not sure why as Im still not sure what it does, or how it would help me, but it just seems such an inspiring playground for ideas. Loving your vids using it. The text descriptions are really helpful.
Hey Jay, that was fantastic. Very informative to see your approach especially with the Octartrack as that's quite a complicated beast. Thanks, and I hope you do more of these.
Instant becoming a patron! Really love your stuff. Recently got interested in Octatrack (don't own one yet), really looking forward to your workflow videos!
Great video Jay! Awesome watching the creative process. Glad you're using the MPC One. Its been a game changer for my workflow and songs. Keep up the great work!!
uh WOW. i think i just saw the best performance on an octatrack and i've watched tons of videos. thank *YOU* for sharing your knowledge. it will live on forever through others. now i know what to do with my akai force and mpc live that are sitting in the corner. as some others have pointed out (i think on cuckoo's channel), what you just created and performed would either be impossible or would take a huge amount of time in a DAW. i have the elektron's entry level Model Cycles and it changed my life so i ordered the octatrack. so blessed. thanks to you and all the other youtubers i follow on all things elektron.
Really awesome, Jay! Loved seeing your creative process. You have a distinctive sound to your music that's hard for me to describe, but I know it when I hear it. As a drummer who is now casually playing around with synths in my free time, I'm always amazed at what you're able to come up with. I usually end up in the four-bar loop purgatory but would love to continue working and pushing through to make some finished tracks. Just checked out your Patreon and supported you on there. Really looking forward to all of it.
As someone who has been so often stuck in "the four-bar loop purgatory" (great phrase!), I hear you. It was really hardware that got me out. I really, really appreciate the support on Patreon. See you there!
heheh sleep country !!! Great video , man ! Honestly Elektron should fully sponsor you . Without making it feel like an ad for the Octatrack I'm sure you've singlehandedly sold a dozen of them . Glad you got a patreon , the world needs more of your jams and just plain more Hosking . Should that be a new verb for humorously blowing minds?
This was fantastic, watching the breakdown of a basic challenge and a few snapshots turn into a whole piece of rando art. Well done. I am thinking of scoring a sampler (used to play guitar and bass but am growing old and bored with that stuff), this was inspiring to watch even though I'm undecided on my first piece of mangling gear. Cheers.
Wow Jay super impressive, good to see you. Lol You've got some amazing gear but it means nothing without creativity talent and musicality. What sampled material you chose to use, really created a cool track. Love it...
This is pretty complex, cool to see all that cool gear in action especially live use of octatrack. The resulting track is pretty good, samples were tricky.
Great stuff!!! My friend and I do challenges also. It’s usually tripe but sometimes rewarding. We’ve done tracks which have to contain a Radiohead sample and Joy Division Closer anniversary covers, which we’re on now. It’s a good way of learning a new piece of gear. Take care
All RIGHT ! - it reminds me a little of seeing Tricky Ricky Tinez - work - he´s also a genuis ,- This is really a treat , to see a Jay Hosking tune in the making ,- What a great idea with the patron stuff, - , I DO have some q¨s , so ill be seeing you soon - on the Patron thingy , so cool - thanx a bunch mr.Hosking ! 😎👍
This is incredible! Do you think you would consider ever doing a walkthrough of your use of Scenes? You kill it with those and I'm still trying to get better with them.
Glad you enjoyed it! These take an enormous amount of work and I already have two jobs, so please don't expect them regularly on the TH-cam channel. That said, I'll be doing monthly walkthrough videos on my Patreon. Thanks again!
Just found this channel today and have been really enjoying it. If you keep making content like this the channel is going to blow up. Also, I bought my mattrress at Sleep Country. Where else is there?
I just found out you had a channel, I only thought you wrote Three Years With the Rat and did nothing else. But God damn, I will be sure to follow you from now on.
Sorry, missed this. With what you've said, I'd consider getting an analog synth. It'll give you a different flavour from what you've already got. Best of luck!
I'm a nerd, but I took notes. I really enjoy how you use the OT, especially since it jives with how I tend to use it. Cheers. Getting some good ideas for a song I'm working on :) For my own curiosity, how many patterns did you end up creating? Do you generally only have a couple patterns, but use muting and scenes to create variation?
I’m a long way from mastering the Octatrack, I feel, but I was making music on it right away (the first Octatrack video on this channel is from the night I got it). And thanks!
This is great. Love the song break down. How do you feel about mixing from the octatrack? I have one and find it rather frustrating sometimes. I would love to have some individual tracks like the digitakt on overbriide
Yeah, it is definitely less than ideal, but part of what I like about hardware is making choices and living with them, rather than being able to change my mind endlessly with (e.g.) a VST. So mostly the mixing hasn’t bothered me too much. Plus, the master out allows for you to do awesome master-level scenes, like the stutter delay. And I think the Octatrack’s compressor does a decent job of gluing everything together in a live setting. And thanks so much!
@@JayHosking agreed. Ive had my octarack for about 4 months after being a 2 year digitakt ower. And let me tell you. I absolutely love it. The octa is by far my centerpiece. I apppreciate the video man. I will be supporting your patreon for sure. You are on of my favorite music making guys on youtube.
very informative video. thank you. don't have any income right now but I will be supporting your Patreon in the future. looking for a part time job to support music making.
@@JayHosking Well, an MPC One basically is a glorified tablet PC, so that makes sense. The large color screen does seem like it would be pretty good for editing waveforms.
Jay Hosking hahaha I imagine this took way longer to film and edit than your usual stuff, but I loved the process breakdown! Would be thrilled to see how else you work. Also, you're realllllly selling me on the OT.
Nice to see your OT workflow. I noticed the Baltik Wilderness song was listed by TH-cam under the Music in this video section and licensed to SME. Did you get a licence for the Baltik samples then or is this something TH-cam does for you? Always wondered how to go about sample clearance. And so just kept to sampling my own stuff.
I didn’t have to do a thing in advance. The moment I uploaded the videos, one of TH-cam’s algorithms detected the song. Good news is it’s little work; bad news is I have no control over its monetization options and I don’t receive any remuneration for the video. And thanks!

Thanks so much for the support. It means the world to me.
I join you in that i too have bought several peices of gear just because i saw what he did with them and they inspired me. Still rocking the minatuar.
I agree. There are lots of hardware synth demos out there, but yours are consistently strong. Great work!
"Why buy a mattress anywhere else?" Choice. Instant Like. Also, one of the best OT videos out there.
Best and most Humble way to say it - we've all been watching for awhile now and very happy you set up a Patreon. Always classic Jay. Really nice.
Your videos are a constant source of inspiration. I've just recently started my journey towards making music, so seeing/hearing you with yours helps more than you'll ever know!
Thanks so much. Can't wait to hear what you come up with!

That was incredible!!! been on the fence about an octatrack...
I really like the Octratrack but I'm not sure why as Im still not sure what it does, or how it would help me, but it just seems such an inspiring playground for ideas. Loving your vids using it. The text descriptions are really helpful.
Just found this, i use Ableton to chop and then put my other gear thru OT. Great to watch your process, thanks again, Jay!
Hey Jay, that was fantastic. Very informative to see your approach especially with the Octartrack as that's quite a complicated beast. Thanks, and I hope you do more of these.
Soo good! Fantastic as always dude. Love the walkthrough vibes.
Instant becoming a patron! Really love your stuff. Recently got interested in Octatrack (don't own one yet), really looking forward to your workflow videos!
Great video Jay! Awesome watching the creative process. Glad you're using the MPC One. Its been a game changer for my workflow and songs. Keep up the great work!!
I am really excited to explore it more! That was basically my first experience with it and I really enjoyed it.
Hi Jay, another great track…. It’s starting to become addictive!! Great explanation.
you are an inspiration all of your videos give me motivation to improve my vision and my music
uh WOW. i think i just saw the best performance on an octatrack and i've watched tons of videos. thank *YOU* for sharing your knowledge. it will live on forever through others. now i know what to do with my akai force and mpc live that are sitting in the corner. as some others have pointed out (i think on cuckoo's channel), what you just created and performed would either be impossible or would take a huge amount of time in a DAW. i have the elektron's entry level Model Cycles and it changed my life so i ordered the octatrack. so blessed. thanks to you and all the other youtubers i follow on all things elektron.
Loved it dude! You're so talented! Watching this kind of videos makes me to sweep the dust of my mpc1000 and do some stuff! Great work! Keep doing!
such an amazing work jay, love the track that came out of it, plus the performance on the OT is insanely good, keep it up mate.
You’re absolutely killing it, Jay. Bravo.
Fun to watch! Brilliant production. Awesome job!
Great video, phenomenal composition, and perfect performance! Also, love the Greg Dunn pyramidals. 🤘🏻
Thanks! It was a gift from my lab when I got my PhD.
Wohooo, really nice peace you made there! Love the drums! No, love it all!
Insanely creative and awesome sounding - and interesting to watch! Thanks for sharing this.
Absolutely loved this!!
How friggin’ cool is this? Glad to have (maybe) helped to push you over the edge! Heading over to Patreon!
You definitely did, thanks!
Jay Hosking by the way, I’ve committed to buying no more gear for the time being. Starting right after my Subharmonicon gets here on Friday. 😁
@@andrewmanzano I just laughed out loud
@@andrewmanzano not even a ...little synth...? Like....the "Typhon" ???? 🎅
great content Jay, best regards from Croatia
So awesome man! Thank you for the explanation and your candid approach! 🍄
Wow, that was impressive. Well done sir!
That came out really well! Thanks for sharing.
The end result was amazing, proper good.
So many smiles through this video :D
Jay, this was rad. Please more workflow vids!
I'll be doing them monthly on Patreon but probably only infrequently here. And thanks so much!
Really awesome, Jay!

Amazing.You are a true master, Jay.
Never subbed a patreon so fast in my life. Love your work.
Really tight with the OT. Nice!!

need a octatrack masterclass from you. thing is too damn powerful and you are too damn good with it!
Sick. I sold my Mk1 but this is helping me remember what a dumb move that was. Got my 40th birthday coming up 🤩
This is incredible
great process. that OT slider is insane.
Slaying the Minitaur. Leave your boots at the door. No mattresses here, it's a dance floor
Awesome video and performance Jay. Sad to see Sleep Country didn't make the cut ;-) Canucks unite!
Incredible as always.
Great vid Jay!
Wow Jay super impressive, good to see you. Lol
You've got some amazing gear but it means nothing without creativity talent and musicality.
What sampled material you chose to use, really created a cool track.
Love it...
Great work Jay!! And so My Patreon virginity is no more soon. Love your music
This is pretty complex, cool to see all that cool gear in action especially live use of octatrack. The resulting track is pretty good, samples were tricky.
Damn! This is incredible.
Holy shit. I had no idea you had a Patreon. AND you’re using the MPC One. Subbed to your Patreon.
Just got both the Patreon and the MPC One. Hope to do good things with both!
So impressive!
Man, you're the king..
Dang, This was awesome!
1 year with my octatrack I’m still only scratching the surface. Really good tips here. Thanks muchly
Great stuff!!! My friend and I do challenges also. It’s usually tripe but sometimes rewarding. We’ve done tracks which have to contain a Radiohead sample and Joy Division Closer anniversary covers, which we’re on now.
It’s a good way of learning a new piece of gear. Take care
Yeah, I'd really love to do more of these challenges. Tons of fun. And thanks!
love this video. could you explain in a bit more detail how you did the arp/rythmic trick on the moog minitaur?
Did you find out? He was saying muting out trigs, but don't know what exactly means with it...
Beautiful
All RIGHT ! - it reminds me a little of seeing Tricky Ricky Tinez - work - he´s also a genuis ,- This is really a treat , to see a Jay Hosking tune in the making ,- What a great idea with the patron stuff, - , I DO have some q¨s , so ill be seeing you soon - on the Patron thingy , so cool - thanx a bunch mr.Hosking ! 😎👍
very interesting format. how the track is created, how to mix individual samples, cool ... p.s. finally saw the face live)))))
Great work - I'll grab your tracks from Bandcamp now...
Really nice!
I'm currently dependent on my DAW, but in the future I'd like to try something DAWless for the sake of curiosity and the fun of it.
This is incredible! Do you think you would consider ever doing a walkthrough of your use of Scenes? You kill it with those and I'm still trying to get better with them.
Probably one of the first things I’ll do on Patreon, yeah. And thanks!
Sick song. Very nice !
Can you make more walkthrough videos from beginning? It was a nice experience.
Glad you enjoyed it! These take an enormous amount of work and I already have two jobs, so please don't expect them regularly on the TH-cam channel. That said, I'll be doing monthly walkthrough videos on my Patreon. Thanks again!
so sick
Brilliant! I'm in Ontario so the mattress jingle is well known:)
Awesome!
I think you could make that sample loop on the octatrack ;) what are the advantages of using mpc one for that purpose?
Amazing.
Masterful. 👏
Just found this channel today and have been really enjoying it. If you keep making content like this the channel is going to blow up. Also, I bought my mattrress at Sleep Country. Where else is there?
'sounds' pretty kick ass
Master !!
Bravo!
I just found out you had a channel, I only thought you wrote Three Years With the Rat and did nothing else. But God damn, I will be sure to follow you from now on.
I got a OT, DN.. whats a good instrument to add next? I'm looking into a desktop synth. Or get a DT? What did you do?
Sorry, missed this. With what you've said, I'd consider getting an analog synth. It'll give you a different flavour from what you've already got. Best of luck!
@@JayHosking Nice im looking at micromonsta v2 and the korg wavestate! Thanks.
"Enter the butt dial". Hahahaha. Thanks for sharing!
I'm a nerd, but I took notes. I really enjoy how you use the OT, especially since it jives with how I tend to use it. Cheers. Getting some good ideas for a song I'm working on :) For my own curiosity, how many patterns did you end up creating? Do you generally only have a couple patterns, but use muting and scenes to create variation?
Just two patterns, the main one and the breakdown. Usually only using two or three patterns at most. And thanks!
Amazing video/song!!! It looks so easy peasy the way you do it... how long did it take 4 you til you mastered the Octa?
I’m a long way from mastering the Octatrack, I feel, but I was making music on it right away (the first Octatrack video on this channel is from the night I got it). And thanks!

Must one own an MPC One?
One need not own any of these things! A computer would handle all the early steps quite well.
@@JayHosking Well, an MPC One basically is a glorified tablet PC, so that makes sense. The large color screen does seem like it would be pretty good for editing waveforms.
Would you ever perform a live show with JUST the octatrack?
Cool
Holy heck

Me: *it's pronounced prAWcess, not prŌHcess*
Sorry (pronounced "so-rry", not "sah-rry") about that

Why buy a mattress anywhere else lol... "jingle" territory.
