That's the intent. These are edited down from the Twitch streams so if you want to see even more how the sausage is made that's the place to go. Thanks for watching
I have to keep reminding myself that just because Jon is nice with the octatrack, doesn't mean it'll be automatic for me if I get one. Really fighting the g.a.s. right now lol
I thought Jon is another one of those youtuber rappers untill i saw mass appeal video of 8y ago....... Then i listened to his discography.. so thankful to see veterans coming in this twitch youtube playground and teacheing and showing behind the scene type things to us.
I don't have an octatrack but binging your videos has already improved my Ableton workflow by applying the same rules. Really appreciate the effort put in to teach what you know
Killer sample selection and placement. Warm cheeky vibe, this is a welcoming channel. And, yet another creator illustrating, end to end, letting it unfold, from all angles. The result still knocks hard, no dilution of the magic after witnessing the proverbial sausage .... Unapologetically, I'm lifting as many techniques as possible, while singing praise to the one who cultivated it.
damn 9 minutes into watching this and then i realize i'm watching one of my favorite producers, big ups to the jonwayne man!! hope to see more vids in the future
Jon, you are amazingly talented! You're take on synthesis being a time kill (another vid) and how you just get lost and enjoy the OT is so true for me. I have a MiniFreak, Reaper, and I just ordered an OT. You inspire and bring good vibes. Keep it up, man.
Smooth and Soulful vibes. The Octatrack is a deep machine from what I have heard, but you seem to navigate though it with ease and that was really cool how you slipped that CN riff in there for a quick minute. Also love your methodical approach to making heat. Dope session.
Thanks for watching. The Octatrack is the best sampler I've ever used and getting comfortable with it over the years was one of the best decisions I ever made
been loving this channel (and longtime listener). have had an octa for years and never actually used it for hiphop/beats production. inspiring to see a different workflow and way of thinking! keep them coming.
Really cool to find you on youtube fleshing out your methods, on elektron gear no less! Anyway, just wanted to mention Andrew on Bowser is one of my anthems. Always cheers me up.
Awesome, awesome breakdown! I love your creative process, and this has been really inspiring when it comes to my own music! Can't wait to see more content
Impressive, some of the best samplist vids online, your voice/vibe is also gold 🥇 ;) the feel/groove is always beautifully crafted. Out of curiosity; out of all the samplers out there, MPCs NIs Polyend s (which according to the grapevine online have faster UIs? With better FX) why the Octatrack? 🔊🔥 Thx!
Thanks for watching it. As far as an ableton focused video, I think there are hundreds of people on youtube who would be better at that sort of thing. I really just understand the surface level of it. Just enough to do what I want to do with it.
Damn, this is smooth as hell! Vato Gato (knxwledge side project) flipped this same sample on poundofpurp. Love to see the different interpretations by two of the best producers to do it
hey jon. i bought an octatrack mk2 because of your videos. do you think you could do a tutorial on how to swap out samples? like replacing kicks without resampling the whole chop? or importing multiple samples to 1 track?
I sold my octatrack because unfortunately I wasn't using it enough to justify the money I spent on it. It's such an amazing machine though, and I think it's underappreciated in hip hop circles. Most of the octatrack community seems to be into glitchy IDM or techno stuff (which is cool too, don't get me wrong) but it's great for almost any style.
I agree that there need to be more examples of different kinds of music on the Octatrack out there. It's a sampler so it's capable of any sample based music. I understand your reasoning for getting rid of yours but I think this would be the one machine I would never sell on the understanding that I could never outgrow it. It's like a box of mystery I get deeper into every time I turn it on.
So many uses and workflows for the Octatrack it's easy to get overwhelmed. Just take what other people are using the Octatrack for and apply it in the context of Hip hop, like EZBOT's template for using the Octatrack as an on the fly remixer with effects.
The problem i had with the Octatrack is when making these lofi gritty tracks the sound destroyed all the hard work. Im luck enough to have got an SP1200 and the sound is amazing compared to the Octatrack which is very sterile. In the end its like a lot of work for a so so end result. Maybe you could do some heavy compression at the end?
Hey, Peter. I think everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion but I think where ours differs is I see the Octatrack as a composition tool and not a mixing one. All of these beats are in a raw state that I then will mix in Pro Tools afterward. That being said I also make beats on the sp-1200 and the same must be done there. In fact, I would say I usually have to do more work in the mixing phase for the 1200 than I do with this. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for making these videos, Jon. I'm glad we live on a timeline where we get to watch you make such bangers!

One of my favs, so happy it made it to YT. ~GET IT NOW~
This one is growing on me as well
Your music rips man. Loving the TH-cam content. Keep doing you!
Would absolutely love to see the beats made from these livestream sessions uploaded somewhere. Love your production style! Keep them coming!
What a great find! Been a fan for a while but somehow missed this. Love it
Really cool to find you on youtube fleshing out your methods, on elektron gear no less! Anyway, just wanted to mention Andrew on Bowser is one of my anthems. Always cheers me up.
This is great, Jon
Such a soothing beat.
Darren I hope you keep making octatrack content. I just picked one up and you got the best stuff on it imo.
Awesome, awesome breakdown! I love your creative process, and this has been really inspiring when it comes to my own music! Can't wait to see more content
🔥🔥🔥 I’ve been binging your content for two weeks now, loving it. Just came across your channel recently really love the. Polyend tracker vids. 14:35
absolute gold thanks jon

Lmaooo shout out the JMB producer tag at 11:48 we need it on more videos/beats ahahaha 🗣😎😤
A time may come...
Fire. Again. Cool to see you drop by elektronauts. Any breakbeat packs you’d recommend? Tips on finding samples are welcome as well lol
drum broker dot com has a lot of break packs that are really high quality.
You could always look for the comfy box. RMR has a video about part of it he found.
And another one! 🔥🔥🔥
Crazy good, keep it up!! 💯
So good, dude! More of this!
Not my regular kind of thing but this was super dope. Super sweet chopping skills my dude 🙏🙏
Too cold man
Another awesome vid! Do you plan on making some vids focusing just on ableton in the future?
Thanks for watching it. As far as an ableton focused video, I think there are hundreds of people on youtube who would be better at that sort of thing. I really just understand the surface level of it. Just enough to do what I want to do with it.
Damn this beat is beautiful, love these videos
Damn that’s a good beat!
Damn, this is smooth as hell! Vato Gato (knxwledge side project) flipped this same sample on poundofpurp. Love to see the different interpretations by two of the best producers to do it
Adagio flipped it on "Hold Tight" from '97
The trombone champ solo was a brave move.

This is so good!
So good
I fucking love it bro.
I mean it.
The whole process. The Rugrats, Yoshi's island, the whole shit.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this channel 🙏🏻
Loving these videos ❤ Keep em coming!
Will do
Loved it
that's one tasty lil beat

Champ ❤️
Octotrack looks kind of cool man. Was considering a Live 2 but this thing looks like it forces you to use your ears may be?

damn this is coool
Does the octotrack support changing the metronome to emphasize different beats
you still got polyend tracker? not suggesting anything...:)
Yeah the Tracker and the Play are on my other desk. Still messing around with them but I've really gotten into a groove with the OT lately.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dope 🥁🔥👊🏼
bruh impeach the president works on basically any beat lol.
At this point I only use other drum breaks so they don't get jealous
Wait, who's our host?
It's Jon. Due to budgetary constraints we had to stop hiring out.
Wait, are you Jonwayne?
Blessed algorithm!
worked with Circuit Rhythm already?

Anyone else thinking bout what them drums sound like 😹
