Hey guys, you can now find most of my TH-cam stuff on Spotify! Here is a link to my Random Jams playlist : tinyurl.com/random-jams-spotify My music is also available on iTunes, Apple Music, Tidal, TikTok and pretty much everywhere else. Love y’all
It's a beautiful thing to watch you use your skills and knowledge of your equipment to craft this gorgeous performance. Also, loved that Swan Lake reference.
I’m subbed to a ton of synth jam channels, and yours is one of three that I’ll pretty much drop whatever I’m doing to listen to when a new video hits. Beautiful!
Hey guyz I just did a quick and dirty tab upon request, thought I would share it with everyone : drive.google.com/open?id=1ZOmSHwAqkCursYMA08Cg3vFS7ohXHQFy3xetiE4xJL8
Woah! La bass en même temps que le fingerdrum, les deux exécutés à la perfection. La transition au milieu est géniale. J'adore celle là, le son est impeccable et le vibe est magnifique!
When I first saw your videos, I couldn't believe it. Everything sounds so good together, especially how you're playing guitar into the mix. You're really paving the way, imo. Nice work!
Awesome. That bass is so deep. Overbridge sounds cool, the mix is flawless here (though never noticed wanting anything to be louder or quieter in previous jams).
Echoing what others have said but your jams are really awesome and one of a kind. I play guitar myself and am into electronic music and the way you fuse both together is so inspiring. Looking forward to an album I can buy ;)
I'm hooked on watching all your videos, it amazes me with the talent you have to create such art, how does one even begin to look into and learn about all of this equipment, I'm learning piano currently and would love to do something like this one day. Thanks, Kole
Hey, thank you so much! As for the equipment TH-cam is a great source for information, channels like Cuckoo and Ricky Tinez talk about this stuff while doing some cool music along the way, it's a bit overwhelming at first but I learned a lot that way. :)
I want to buy an electric guitar so bad, I've been playing acoustic guitar for like 5 years and I've been saving up. This makes me jealous. Awesome work 💪
@@lukebt yeah I've been thinking the same. With a proper setup, it will work good, btw I'm from Nepal and a cheap electric guitar will easily cost like 12 13k. And I can only save so little. I'm so in a hurry to buy my first electric.
I have to second the comment on Squier. My bass is a Squier from the 80s I believe, and I've verified that it sounds exactly like a "normal" Fender. And my first electric was a Japanese Jedson from the sixties which I still have and love and which are still widely available online for about 250 dollars (I think). You can get either telecaster or stratocaster type. And there are other affordable Japanese brands like Jedson if the vintage route appeals. But then even though a lot of these old Japanese guitars were well designed you may have to deal with unstable tuning, though replacement tuning strips are also available (used, of uncertain quality, look for rust in the photos). But a new or even used Squier will sound as good and provide stable tuning for much less than half the price.
Hey Aldo, would you mind sharing a breakdown of the skills you've had to develop in total to make playing these jams possible and fluent to you ? I'm very inspired as many others by what you do, having a blueprint of sorts would give us clear direction to what we should work on. Hopefully my request makes sense. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your sound.
Hey, I still consider myself as a noob but I guess I can try to answer that! I think you need 2 different sets of skill : the musicianship and the technical knowledge. The musicianship is the hard part and is a different journey for everyone as you can learn the classical way or on your own. I'm self-taught and my playing is super flawed but I've started guitar 13 years ago so I feel mostly comfortable on the neck. And I think that's the important part! Find an instrument where you feel comfortable, could be the guitar, your voice, the flute, the piano... I guess piano is a big plus as most virtual instrument are controlled with keyboard. From there you can create harmonies and melodies, which I guess is usually the first step to writing a song. I'm personally very bad at music theory but I would strongly advice to explore that area as it gives you so many tools to work with. AND PRACTICE YOUR RHYTHM. Aha, that's my only regret when it comes to music, I spent so many years practicing on my own without metronome or backing tracks, and my rhythm is awful now. I'm trying to fix it but dang, it's hard. So yeah don't forget about this
Aldo hi! First let me say I really like both the way you sound and the vibe of your music. That was a very clear answer. Yet, I’d like to have a few more answers if you don’t mind, concerning « live looping » (I’m trying to explore that technique). Are you playing 100% in a jam mode? Or do you have an idea of how your song will be built before you start? Knowing what instrument will come then (and so what machine you’ll be playing on then). Kind of the same question about music progression: do you plan the key and/or the chord progression? Hope I’ve made myself clear. Thanks again for your music and your videos. 👍
@@yvon1349 if he's like me he just jams out on the guitar and finds a cool riff or progression, then loops it and jams with his other gear until he's found a structure, sounds that he likes, etc.. Then most likely records the best take and tweeks any errors in post.
I'm sure I've said this before, but I really like the spirit and overall aesthetic of these live looping jams... More artists need to engage in-real-time with the tech they use like this. Indeed, the making of music should be about the humanity of it, not just babysitting machines as so many so-called musicians do these days. Anyway... Good job. Keep 'em coming. ;) Cheers!
@@Aldoistaken incredible you said that because that's what i said but then when you consider all it can do even if you just hook up a Keystep to it it's definitely one of the best backpack instruments.
I hope Glou-Glou is hooking you up with a sponsorship, you make that thing sound AMAZING! I have to stop listening to your stuff or I'm going to spend money that will never sound this good. :)
Well they sent it to me for free back when my channel started to blew up. :) So if anything I kinda owe them! Aha, I'm lucky, it's a great pedal for sure. Anyway thank you for the kind words man!
Just at 1:00 and already fall in love with it : ) By the way, by curiosity, how do you do to "instantly" record the sound of your guitar to make it a loop? I know that's sound stupid
Thank you so much, and it's not stupid at all! It's done with a looper, most of them come in the form of a pedal like the one I used (the TC Electronic Ditto X4) but you can also do it with softwares like Ableton Live. It basically captures a section of your sound and instantly plays it back on a loop, it's super handy when you play by yourself. :)
@@Aldoistaken Thank you for taking your time to actually read and answer my questions. I'm sure that pretty much everyone around here agreed that you're such good listener with your audience. Keep the hard work
Hey thank you so much! You can have a look at my guitar signal flow on that setup diagram I made > drive.google.com/file/d/1eNK9lqnV_50nCfz1aZGYLbvivxqMy7Fw/view I also add some plug in my DAW to shape the sound a little more so it fits into the mix better. :)
Are you using a mixer at all for this? How do you manage to get all of this into the 2i2? Are you connecting them together through midi and then to the 2i2. I've been trying to wrap my head around how to connect a bunch of devices and record but I'm fairly new to this, just looking to gain some knowledge. Thanks!
Hey, I don't use a mixer but for this one I used Overbridge for the first time. It's a software that only works with Elektron devices (like the Digitakt in this video) and allows you to record the sounds from that machine through USB. You can also use the Digitakt as a 2 inputs audio interface. So yeah I kinda cheated in this one, the Scarlett only records the guitar and all the rest goes through the Digitakt. :) If you want to record more than 2 audio sources with a Scarlett 2i2, you usually need a mixer yes. Some devices also have external input, so you could blend 2 audio signals together with that input and then record it with the Scarlett. The main drawback being that you can't change the individual level afterward. The Digitakt has external inputs, Pocket Operators too, it's quite a common feature these days. :) Hope that helps!
It is pretty expensive but on the plus side it can replace so many stuff, guitar pedals, synth, MIDI processor... So on the long run it's probably a good investment. :) To be fair I didn't buy it myself (it was sent to me by Empress Effects) but I truly love it, it's extremely useful and super fun to use, it felt like the missing piece in my setup when I first got it!
wait what. Digitakt works with Overbridge? I downloaded it all a couple weeks ago but Digitakt isn't listed as an Overbridge product, and it doesn't recognize it when plugged in... I'm so confused and very jealous, guess I'll spend another few hours on it today
@@Aldoistaken Aw man, after tinkering around I got it to work but upgrading to the beta OS for Digitakt lost me access to all of my projects, so I've downgraded OS back to 1.11 for now. Did you workaround this or just start fresh?
@@AssassinFlonne I'm still running the 1.11 OS, I never tried the Beta so I can't really help you with this. :/ You might find some info on the Elektronauts forum tho.
@@Aldoistaken Dang man I didn't realize you could run Overbridge on 1.11 thought it was Beta only, you've blown my mind once again. Plugged it back in and it's working fine, you're a savior. Thanks a ton man, love your stuff and can't wait to figure out some stuff of my own!
Just went on youtube to upload my own looping track but couldn't help myself and watched your video first. So glad I did it. You are absolutely smashing it mate! You are a huge inspiration to me! How long does it take you to write a track and how long do you need to record a decent take? You are uploading so frequently and I try to match your pace but it takes me like 35 hours to make one video. Can you share any tips that could help speed the process up?
Hey thank you for the kind words man! I did hear some of your stuff on Reddit and I really enjoyed your guitar chops, keep it upppp. Also you're already super productive. :o I don't have specific advice, I feel like I just get faster as I practice and make more tracks, that's actually why I started the whole TH-cam thing in the first place. I would say just keep moving forward! When I got an idea/sound/riff I really vibe with, I polish it for a few days and then whenever I have some free time, I go all in and write all the rest. I try not to overthink it. The whole process usually lasts 2 weeks. Hope that helps!
@@Aldoistaken Thanks for sharing that with me. I started youtube for the same reasons. I didn't really push myself anymore to learn and write new stuff. So glad i started youtube. It has taught me so much already. Will keep your words in mind. But now it's time to write a new track. Would love to make one together with you one day! Have a great weekend mate
Great job, once again. Very talented. If I may ask a question.... I know you control the ditto vía digitakt. But how exactly do you control when to record, play, stop... on the ditto?. Is it programmed n advanced?. Like a triggers that say “ditto record for 6 sequences, then stop 8, record again....”. Thanks
Thank you! It's programmed in advance indeed, but it's more like one trigger says "Now start recording", then a different trigger says "Now stop recording", then another one says "Now start recording on the second loop". You need a trigger with the right CC information to perform each action. You basically need a CC message to replace each instances you would normally press the switch. :) Hope that helps!
@@Aldoistaken yes, that's what I thought!. I'm getting started with digitakt and a more "live" approach. Makes me appreciate even more your work.You're so precise it looks easy. Keep it up!. I will cite you as a master :)
Hey, not 100% sure that's what you're asking but this whole performance was recorded live in one go into my DAW. It was a multitrack recording so I had some elements separated and I was able to refine the mix afterward. Hope that answers your questions. 🙂

Drop an album homie, will be the instrumental album of the decade
Do it!
no cap!
Do it on bandcamp!!
agreed! please do.
do it !!!
Dude this is one of your sickest jams so far lol. I think what you do is the coolest thing in the world, I'd love to be able to do it too.
Yooo, thank you so much man, that really means a lot!
i second this! Top notch Aldo!
I wholeheartedly agree with this man
It's a beautiful thing to watch you use your skills and knowledge of your equipment to craft this gorgeous performance.
Also, loved that Swan Lake reference.
I’m subbed to a ton of synth jam channels, and yours is one of three that I’ll pretty much drop whatever I’m doing to listen to when a new video hits. Beautiful!
Wow that's amazing thank you so much mannnn
Red means recording, Aldo, look mum no computer: the holy trinity
Dude that fill at 4:36 is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. That was fantastic ❤
Went off on this one !!
The "final solo" did it for me. There is nothing boring about it... keep it up.
Dude! Love the jam! And thanks for putting so much info in the description.
This TH-cam channel opened my eyes to the fact that music isn't just an auditory phenomenon. Look and feel matters.
Sound selection is exquisite
Hey guyz I just did a quick and dirty tab upon request, thought I would share it with everyone : drive.google.com/open?id=1ZOmSHwAqkCursYMA08Cg3vFS7ohXHQFy3xetiE4xJL8
Respect! Thxx brotha
thanks for being so generous man that's the way it's done! Peace!
Excellent work as usual, man!
Hey thank you so much man! :)
This is just pure awesomness. Love your jams
Absolutely amazing performance.
Woah! La bass en même temps que le fingerdrum, les deux exécutés à la perfection. La transition au milieu est géniale. J'adore celle là, le son est impeccable et le vibe est magnifique!
Heyyyy merci l'ami, je dois avouer que je suis pas peu fier de cette double performance drum+bass, aha.
this is just unbelievable!!!! thank you for sharing as always
This is my fav, so good, chill vibe! Keep up the awesome work, man!
Man seriously your music reached another level, i'm from brazil and now i'm addicted to those jams
Yo thanks man, it means a lot.
That solo.....hit mymind so deep,your riff is great so much!!!!
These always make my day.
Also, the solo isn't boring, it feels like it really fits the mood!
When I first saw your videos, I couldn't believe it. Everything sounds so good together, especially how you're playing guitar into the mix. You're really paving the way, imo. Nice work!
Thank you so much for the kind words, means a lot!
Keep them coming, bud! These Random Jams of yours are very inspirational. Great example of mixed instrument use.
Awesome. That bass is so deep. Overbridge sounds cool, the mix is flawless here (though never noticed wanting anything to be louder or quieter in previous jams).
Thanks you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. :)
Love the guitar solo in this one! Such a nice combo of effects on the Strat.
Splendid work. The aura chill and that guitar solo are fantastic, take your like.
Sounds Amazing ! Really beautiful live act.
Speechless. Beautiful stuff dude
Awesome vibes! Te guitar work is awesome man, don't sweat! Awesome well thought jam! Killed it once again!
Thank you mannnnn
@@Aldoistaken Heeeeeelllllll yeeah

EARGASM!!
thanks dude for introducing a new hobby
amazing artistry, your awesome

Awesome stuff man. Love slaying some drums to this stuff. Keep it up!
That's soooo cool, thanks for the support man!
Wow man serious skills and great sound, big up ❤️☀️🌍🙏
Nicely done, very inspiring
This one is amazing! ❤️💕
This is very impressive. You make it look easy!
I really love your stuff! :D
The best one yet, along with the #6!
Again with the amazing vibes. When that bass comes in, boom.
Can’t believe I missed this. Awesome vibes dude!
Hey thanks man
Wow man that's the best so far the last part
Awesome! Love the idea of those "Patch notes" in the description, even of i dont understand most of it...
Absolutely fucking exceptional, as always

Aamzing, I like the sound of the guitar.
The white noise texture is killer
Watching at like 4:30 am and this hit hard, especially that end solo. Keep it up man!
You’re amazing!
I’ve recently discovered your videos and I’m in love with your stuff! Keep it up!
Thank you so muchhhh, I really appreciate the support!
This is really sweet!!
Awesome
Another masterpiece 🙌🏻🔥
Sophisticated, elegant
0:49 the static and the bass, nice!
nice smooth guitar
I want to buy an electric guitar so bad, I've been playing acoustic guitar for like 5 years and I've been saving up. This makes me jealous. Awesome work 💪
you_ugly_ for_real you can get a nice squire for $100! It does the job, trust me!
@@lukebt yeah I've been thinking the same. With a proper setup, it will work good, btw I'm from Nepal and a cheap electric guitar will easily cost like 12 13k. And I can only save so little. I'm so in a hurry to buy my first electric.
I hope you can get one soon!
@@Aldoistaken Can't wait 🔥
I have to second the comment on Squier. My bass is a Squier from the 80s I believe, and I've verified that it sounds exactly like a "normal" Fender. And my first electric was a Japanese Jedson from the sixties which I still have and love and which are still widely available online for about 250 dollars (I think). You can get either telecaster or stratocaster type. And there are other affordable Japanese brands like Jedson if the vintage route appeals. But then even though a lot of these old Japanese guitars were well designed you may have to deal with unstable tuning, though replacement tuning strips are also available (used, of uncertain quality, look for rust in the photos). But a new or even used Squier will sound as good and provide stable tuning for much less than half the price.
Hey Aldo, would you mind sharing a breakdown of the skills you've had to develop in total to make playing these jams possible and fluent to you ? I'm very inspired as many others by what you do, having a blueprint of sorts would give us clear direction to what we should work on.
Hopefully my request makes sense. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your sound.

Hey I actually thought about doing something like this, maybe later this year!
What pickup are you on during the clean section?
Hey, I'm on the bridge pick-up until 3:07 where I switch to the neck pick-up (then I switch back to the bridge pick-up for the solo)

Curious, is this all synced in a daw? Or you are doing it pure audio over audio?
Hey, not 100% sure that's what you're asking but this whole performance was recorded live in one go into my DAW. It was a multitrack recording so I had some elements separated and I was able to refine the mix afterward. Hope that answers your questions. 🙂
@@Aldoistaken yup I was wondering whether I were doing it in a looper. Are all the devices synced to a midi clock?
@@PierLim Yeah everything is synced together through MIDI including the Ditto X4 looper. 🙂
