this is what user generated content and web 2.0 promised us. this is the gold standard of the best case scenario of the pitch of that fever dream
Well said! What is not to like in this video, right?!
Man... I... This.... Wha..... The heat is on.
Thank you!
this is amazing!!
My dad was a sound editor and he was obsessed with recording and evolving sounds...much of his work (Blade Runner, Superman, Return to Oz to namedrop a few gems) is littered with found-sound work all warped and reformed in a purely analogue way with tape manipulation and rerecording. You'd probably never know it. He didn't have to do it. But he did, and he did it for the pure joy of just toying with sounds and sonic textures. I wish he'd had an OP-1...he'd have loved the tapey workflow and would have been joining in :)
I've always thought of sampling a romantic idea. Crate digging and finding that perfect nugget of greatness to use like a treasure hunt, and then toiling over it like a mad scientist. Sounds like a pretty radical dad to have. Do you dabble in the arts?
That's it exactly...am on a similar path to yourself in terms of coming from guitar/bass/drums but tinkering in the samplage. My day job is (despite his warning to "never go near an edit suite again") in the dark arts...but am on the run from any and all screens these days :) Last week I became obsessed with the sounds of magnetic closing mechanisms...ended up recording a whole bunch and messing with them. So yes...his ghost lives on in my obsessions. He'd have dug your vids a heck of a lot actually!
That’s sick. Bladerunner is one of those films I always rewatch mainly because of the sound design. Same with 2049. I put 2049 soundtrack on all the time when I do menial shit around the house.
this is beautiful
i love the track so much dude, by far my favorite of yours on the youtube channel.
so goooood
That means a lot, I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching, Neal!! I see you in the Discord 🥳
@@mattsaperstein thanks, Homeboy! 👊🏼
Hey Novak, I hope you don’t get tired of hearing how inspiring you are.
While I’m grateful for the “content” that is created by all the tenacious TH-camrs out there, and have benefited and learned from their offerings, your channel is different.
I wouldn’t feel right about calling you a “content creator “. You’re a true artist in my mind. Every bit is creative. Dude, you have my respect, admiration, and best wishes, always.
Cheers!
You have no idea how much I appreciate your feedback. Flattered and unworthy are footnotes to what I'm feeling by reading your comment. Thank you so much, Tim.
Great job!
Son Wu!!!! Thanks, dude! I’m still using your Dojo Drums sound pack like crazy 👊🏼
@@NovakTheEnjoyer Thank you so much, I'm happy they find good use with you :)

Got the Radiohead vibes ❤
@@akashdhurbarry9157 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wooow Radiohead immaculate!! Sounds like 2004 in the best way.
@@zzz0... omg, that’s a comment!! Thanks! Big influence. One of my faves 👍🏼
Absolutely beautiful song. I had an OP 1 and keep watching vids on the field waiting for something like this to inspire me to pull the trigger. Thanks.
Wow, thank you! It's a really fun machine at the right time in life. I bought and returned 2 OG OP1's before I finally vibed with the workflow. The Field changed the way I create all together :)
Absolutely incredible as always Novak! Great great track and amazing percs! Joined the discord. Let’s go
Welcome aboard! Stoked to have you in there and so happy you like the videos!
The Discord invite link might be expired. Love your content!
Thanks for letting me know! I'll change it now.
this is awesome! great job dude love the song. I just got my OP-1 and feeling kind of stumped by it for some reason. Hope to get this good someday!
@@dsovrin hang in there! It takes practice!
Man, this is pure art.
Dude, thank you.
I make samples but I don’t make any music lol
@@Softlol haha!
As long as you’re making something!
your videos have made me pick up an OP1 Field and it's the most fun I've had with an instrument since I picked up guitar 20 odd years ago.
love the song!
This make me so happy to hear! I had the same experience when I got the OP1F. I really do wish that sampling came easier to me because it opens up so much uncharted territory and makes things sound so interesting. Keep jammin'!!
Big Radiohead vibes. Love it! ❤
Awe man, so stoked. Thanks so much for watching :) 👊
Good stuff as always man!
@@tarekith aye, thanks T!! 😁
where is your album man? ı wanna buy it!
No albums yet, but at some point I'll get it together and announce it. Glad you dig the tunes, and thanks for watching!
so sick 🤘 you should talk about your influences one day and how they affect your work
That's a great video idea, I really appreciate that! I'm learning that subject matter is like gold. The feedback is always welcome. Thanks for watching!
The production in this video, including your song…impressive. I have a question or two : I used to own one; whenever I recorded a loop in real time, the loop was slightly quieter than the actual thing played. Is there a way to avoid the drop in volume ?
Was it the original?
@@NovakTheEnjoyer it was the Field. I would set up drums on a sequencer and record it, and shut sequencer off…you could hear a volume drop. I thought I can’t play live this way. I wanted to do Boyd Rice/Non Noise, loop, drone vocal stuff .
I’m using a Black and Golf Make Noise shared system now. But would switch if some of those issues got resolved.
You cool dude! Thanks ❤
@@BoyRatty-ds7yb ✌🏼😎⚡️
Hey Novak, I love your videos on TH-cam and find it the best op1 field content I can find. I am seriously considering getting one to try and write songs. I play guitar and use pedals. I also have the chroma console and microcosm and love them. Making songs on a looper isn’t the best lol. I hate computers and the idea of using a DAW is a big turn off. I like the physical aspect of the op1. I can’t find any real information on recording electric guitar into the op1 like you and a guy called Indian runner do. Are you using the output jack of the amp into the op1 ? Thanks would love to know how you get such clean recordings with pedals
@@Skiptothebeat007 hey, thanks so much for watching! We’re in the same boat! 😃
As far as the guitar is concerned, I don’t plug the output of an amplifier in to the OP1. I go straight in from the guitar for a clean tone, or I take whatever effect pedals I’m using and go straight into the line in off the OP1 from those. If I use an amplifier with either the base or guitar, I mic it every time.
Loopers are fun for about 30 seconds. That being said, the workflow of the OP1 is like having a looper where you can see everything you’re doing. This changes everything for me because expanding on a loop becomes possible and manageable.
Put all this together with the immediacy that you are given access to every aspect of instrumentation and songwriting in a simplistic design makes it the only thing I need.
From the sound of it, the OP one would probably be a good choice for you. You can always return it if you don’t like it, but if it changes your life half as much as it changed mine, it’s worth twice the price.
Join the discord and we can chat about it. There are some others in there that can attest to the joy of having an OP1F as well.
How does the guitar get a electric get a loud enough sound with our an amp. Does the op1 have a built in preamp? Also some effects like the drive section on the chroma console can introduce pickup up noise from my telecaster single coils. Does that happen when straight plugged in or is there a gate pedal or something you use ? Ya not being able to see what’s going on in the loop is the hardest part but with a screen and with time points would be a game changer. Despite people saying the op1 has so many limitations the options look endless to me lol coming from someone who has never used a daw.
Great song , how did you export it and master, thanks
@@ShawnBrandon888 hey Shawn, thanks for watching! I just bounced out of the OP1F and put it into Davinci Resolve. There was no processing after the OP1. All the compression was done with the master compressor in the OP1, and then bounced to the record. Then there’s whatever TH-cam does in terms of compression. I did try to clean up the talking head dialogue with a Desser and an LA2A Compressor, but as far as the music goes, I don’t touch it with anything outside of the OP1. Performing the mix onto the record makes it possible to ride the mixer in case there are some loud spots in the mix. With a few practice passes you can really dial it in although in this particular case, I was lucky in the mixing department as everything felt pretty comfy in its place.
Thanks I learn a lot here. Great work
aaaaahhhhh shit, new video from ma boi Novak showing up in the subscriptions feed? Instant click! Watched your whole video and just gotta say I really enjoy what you put up. Your song at the end was a vibe and I'm here for it! Love the background music you add during the first half of the video and how it sounds like you made it all on the op-1 (did you?). Love the clarity of the video and the way you share your process.
Favorite part was the strange alien-y sounds you made at the 8:15 mark.
Keep it up good sir!
Love, love this song. Question. How did you record the electric guitar?
Hey thanks for watching! I recorded the guitar just like you see in the video. I sat the OP1F up on its side and played into the mic. 🙂👍🏼
I always use the vocoder with the mix turned all the way to the red dot and use the reverb of the vocoder to effect my clean tone. Not sure I have much reverb on the guitar this time around, but it’s always good to have the option. If I remember correctly, I recorded 2 takes and panned each one to opposite sides.
I saw that the acoustic was recorded direct to the CM-15. The Jazzmaster looks like you’ve got a guitar cable plugged in. Did you mic an amp with the CM-15? I’ve watched the video multiple times. Sorry if I missed a scene showing how the Jazzmaster was mic’d 🙂
@@karabinerstudios shit, I forgot all about the Jazzmaster. That was plugged straight in. Sorry I totally miss read your first question 🤦🏻♂️. Acoustic mic’d with the OP1F and Jazzmaster > Line in.
That little trailing off lead thing is dope. Using the Lfo as an envelope there?
Dude! Yes, but that's actually it's just a preset called Haunted on the OP1F in the DSYNTH. I just added a little reverb but it definitely utilizes the LFO. Amazing how far the sounds they've designed will go. Right tool for the right job :)
@@NovakTheEnjoyer yeah some of the presets are great.
I don’t usually purchase packs but the rephazer OP-1F stuff is incredible.
There’s a preset somewhere that uses a reverse envelope to give a really unique ducking swell to the mother reverb wet parameter. Such a cool idea.
If you’ve ever played through a synth with a paraphonic filter behavior, it feels a bit like that.
@@philmakesnoise I have definitely heard of the Rephazer stuff. Gotta try it out
Hey nice vid! You misspelled sampling on the thumbnail.
hehe, good notice! Thanks so much for watching! I can't tell you how many times I've misspelled that word in that way. I figured that if it's happened to me so many times it has to be pretty common, so I left it as a little joke to those who suffer the same dumb mistake.
@@NovakTheEnjoyer love it. Honestly clicked partially to see if you were going to mention it in the video. Again, Great track and video looks like lots of fun!
@@pzmaven thanks for the feedback!
Felt the urge to set up my zoom recorder while swimming the other day to make some splishy splashy drums. The te drum utility is gonna be clutch!
Great track! Amazing to do that just on the OP1 too.
Thank you for my TH-cam channel.
Love that you're doing all the music within the OP-1.
@@alphi3000 👊🏼
Yeah I do it the least too.
Absolute gem, I love all of your jams !! Very inspiring 🎉
Thanks so much!!
You are such a trip dude! I really appreciate you taking your time to make such awesome videos that always inspire me to go make some music!
Thanks so much for watching! To hear that I've inspired someone to make music is such a crazy idea. Means a lot.
Novak, your thoughts are so fascinating to hear, and your expressions is just the cherry on top
@@КонстантинМисявичус Thank you for watching!! The video was a lot of fun to make. I appreciate the kind words 😃
Great stuff. I love to hear about fellow musicians process. Keep it up.
Thank you!!!!
Hey man, been binge watching (in some cases, binge listening while I walk the dog, haha!) your videos...really good stuff. I like the fact that you focus more on the creative/conceptual side of things than just the gear (which gets tiring really quickly). Keep up the good work!
Oh and also...your music is pretty inspiring...really good stuff, and that's without even thinking its all OP-1, with all its quirks and limitations...
@@cadetesespaciales I really appreciate that, thanks man!
unreal track Novak, also love the camera setups for the performance shots
I appreciate the comment, and thanks for watching! I've been trying to work on the camera skills, so it means a lot :)
Stupid question here 😂 love this paint 😅 I was looking for something like this for my living room any ideas where could I get one ? Not the fish one (very good drawing skills btw) the painting on you wall ? 😅
Lol, I love this! It's been with us for almost 20 years. Unfortunately I couldn't dig up the exact source. There's a guy on Instagram by the name of johnnybgood89 that has an affiliate store through amazon and has chosen things in this room like rugs and lamps and other aesthetic stuff. It was an epiphany for me because I like that kind of shit myself. What a see around me inspires the creativity. It's important!
@@NovakTheEnjoyer thks a lot for your time
@@larrylynch8113 my pleasure!
Awesome track at the end, thanks - really enjoyed it :) Have downloaded the Pencil and Mental Vacation pack but my OP-1 Field is currently full so I'll play with them later. Really hoping TE issue an update with more save slots.
@@darwiniandude thanks for watching!! I’m starting to get worried about reaching my limit but I haven’t yet. Then again, the whole video is about how I don’t sample much, lol. That might have something to do with it subconsciously. 🤷🏻♂️
Enjoy the samples!
@@NovakTheEnjoyer I am only out of space because of some great sample packs out there - especially the ones by Rephazer, lots of character and feeling in those, worth checking out :)
@@darwiniandude I'm on it, thanks!!
I made both ‘Every Day is Exactly the Same’ and ‘The Day the Whole World Went Away’ on the field in the last month. Trent Reznor samples so much unique isht that it inspired me. So besides guitar,bass and some piano (which I resampled all of those) I sampled so many other things to remake those songs. Used the roland e-4 for vocals. The op-1 field is magical.
This sounds really interesting. So like covers with samples? What a killer concept! Do you share this stuff anywhere? Would love to hear
@@NovakTheEnjoyer So I looked up what he actually sampled for the atmospheric samples, not everything is out there so I came up with some of my own stuff. I played the bass, guitar, and a piano and recorded it into my mpc live 2 then resampled into the op-1. Vocals I recorded directly into the op-1 using the e-4.. I don’t have it on youtube, but it is on soundcloud. I don’t think youtube will let me post a link. My user name is Akilleus and the pf picture is the face and torso of the Achilles statue. The Day the World Went Away is on there, haven’t posted Every Day yet.
@NovakTheEnjoyer -- I've had some success filtering a sample and resampling it by recording it to a track and playing it back while recording the sample through the OUT --> IN option in the sample source from the "microphone" menu. It feels quite inefficient but it lets you stack effects. Does anyone have a better workflow?
That's a really great way to go about it. Especially for sound design. That actually gives me a really great idea for a video! Thanks so much for watching, and giving the resample tip!! That's what it's all about, baby!
Clearly fixing it in pre is better but sometimes you find yourself in post without a paddle…
@@trharding nail on the head
My friend, just wanted to say I'm a huge fan and fellow op-1 musician! I'm having trouble figuring out what's the best way to gain-stage on the field... I mean, are you recording everything without the master limiter/comp and then when ''bouncing'' to the computer adding it back up? or do you keep everything kinda low (the mixer on a 50ish level) so you can have some head-room to work with? Thank you so much for your art and your videos, it really inspired me to become a better musician!
Hey, thanks for watching!! I don’t do anything to the music outside of the OP1F. I record everything in it and mix regardless of the volumes. Sometimes the tracks end up really low when all is said and done, but I pump everything up with the Drive on the Master Compressor. If things end up being too low, I do this:
1. Find the quiet track, or recording
2. Lift/drop to copy it
3. Find a spot beyond the end of the song
3. Turn red input gain on the tape down low
4. Shift+drop (merge drop). It will drop louder.
5. Lift the single take you want
6. Go back and replace your low volume recording with your new louder one.
Hope that helps! Join the discord for more gold nuggies like this :)
