Solar J! This is super helpful. Thanks for sharing your setup and explaining how it's all connected. I particularly like how you expanded your inputs by using the Focusrite Scarlett! Had no idea this was possible! 🙏
@@robii120 glad you found this video helpful :) I think the additional inputs do not use the preamp from the Apollo twin though and I try to record most stuff through input 1-2 but it’s so helpful to have those 8 other inputs for jamming!
plugins like serum and diva and wavetable from ableton i use to control them via elektron octatrack (especiall the octa arp) tiered to midimix. plugins easier to manage as 10kg hw synths... and of course using a syntakt. So no big audio interface needed, less cabling.I call it my hybrid setup for going dawless finally at the end with a pioneer mixer and rmx-1000 remix station. Recording via ipad AUM with fabfilter multiband compression controlled via akai lpd8 delivers wav rendered ready results in Audioshare, quick usage in pioneer rekordbox and its DDJ...
@@lwpweb that’s a cool setup :) pioneer mixer is the way to go for having master effects live, right?I never had the guts to invest 2k on that but maybe I should do it. Also akai force is really cool for live/dawless as you can prepare some loops and play them without Ableton but in a similar fashion with scenes and all. But I feel you man, synths are heavy and that’s one reason I’m not doing that many dawless performances lately…a usb stick with my own productions on it is so much lighter and handy ahahah
@@Georgemelhem thanks mate :) I guess I chose it because of price, simplicity and … actual faders! But the push is cool, can make the composition/production process faster and with less mouse clicks. I should get one sooner or later
Love this setup, thank you. Curious, what is the role of the Apollo Twin X, if you have all the Focusrite? I want to get the Focusrite but not sure what I'm missing with the Apollo?
@@GlennRogers1 thanks :) The Apollo has great preamps and I tend to re-record most of the stuff through its inputs when I decide to use some material that came up from a jam. In addition it has very good native plugins you can only use if you have the hardware. Last but not least it has one of the lowest latency on the market - I don’t speak about latency in this video, I might do a separate one, and when I don’t sequence my synths but I actually play them with the keyboard I monitor directly through the Apollo so I can perform with basically zero latency :)
@@solarj The latency is on my mind, so this is handy info. I'm thinking of running the RYTM to the computer via USB/Overbridge, and the 37 and Prophet via audio & midi, going to see how well it syncs - the Apollo is tempting but expensive, could be useful to offload the effects as you mention tho.
@@mellemellor Thanks mate :) in this video I show the setup for the last few live performance I did th-cam.com/play/PLPoD-NHkOX63_7GxxAGgH4KJnJLhSVDM-.html&si=auKJzjnXr3L8otJR as I mentioned I don’t do that much lately, I just DJ my own tracks it’s easier 😅 I used to do dawless stuff also but I couldn’t find a way to have master effects without using Ableton or a DJ mixer (which are expensive). Do you know any dawless alternative to that? Also here I have some jams - the early ones are crappy though I just started dawless back then 😅 th-cam.com/play/PLPoD-NHkOX62Na_QUphpqP3OqMFsU1Ykv.html&si=M0LdGE8TfnAfRwJB
@@el_dani I avoided talking about it as would have taken too much time but it is indeed a problem. If I use sequences is fine as it is all delayed but when I play leads or melodies on the keys I monitor directly through the Apollo. The downside is that I can’t use the effects from Ableton but the UAD are also great, just less flexible :)
Thanks for Sharing you setup and Workflow, klicks to me. I love the „commit to Audio Philosophy“ - this will help me to re-arrange my gear- also love your sound:-)
Happy you found it helpful! Yes that's my North start when I produce..I got the concept from this interview to Weval where they explain their workflow, it's a good watch :) th-cam.com/video/h73R5dEhP4Q/w-d-xo.html
I like your style and videos! Hope your channel grows :)
@@b-HAL9000 thanks 🫶 me too so I can invest in a better camera 😅 iPhone 11 is beginning to be a bit obsolete :/
when i grow up i wanna do this kind of things

@@solarj pioneer djm-450 only 700 euros 2 ways are enough.
@@lwpweb you’re right, also has an aux in which is cool :)
fuego! love your setup! any reason why you choose the APC instead of the ableton push?

nice, fine video. thank you
Glad you enjoyed it :)
very good !👍👍👍
Thanks friend 🫶
Lot of money to buy the synth….” Yes man!!❤

That's one hell of a rack.
@@andypatbath it’s the rack of hell :)
Thanks for the insight. Is USB latency no problem for sync reasons?

@@solarjI would like to see a video about latency and how toy deal with it
Where's the syntakt ? 😁😎 bel video frate 🎛
Ahah :) Grazie carissimo 🫶 the syntakt didn’t fit on the rack..maybe I should add another level 😁
How do u control latency?
@@AFKLB_MUSIC in the video I don’t mention it but when performing DAW-less I monitor through the Apollo with near zero latency.
I've been building and rearranging everything for 20y and still can't get things done 😅 I feel like there's a deeper problem ie my brain😂
