Ricky and I make severely different music, but I learn sooooo much from ricky in every video! Love the channel bro! keep being awesome

Man not only is your aesthetic and musical knowledge superb, you pretty much also make exactly the kind of music I'm into. So keep it up man, you're work is amazing!!

The only thing 'bad' about BlackBox is that they forgot to include a Ricky Tinez with it. Thanks man really enjoy your vids and ofcourse your creativity!

I love how you make music. Not overly complicated. Just great beats and vibe. Love it dude. :)

One of the rare cases where a track to demo the unit actually turns out super dope

I really vibed with this jam on a quiet Sunday morning. You're so conversational that I find myself occasionally responding with "I know right?" or something like that. Reminds me when someone leaves a really long voicemail and as I listen to it I forget it's not a two-way conversation and I respond to something they say like they can hear me. Okay, now I sound like a crazy person, lol.

The Song Mode is quite simple. It just records the activation and de-activation of the sequences. Set a section bar length and press record, then capture your sequence arrangement.

TIL pitching a baby's cute giggle down an octave makes a very creepy chortle

You confirmed something about the 1010 as a micro-DAW...now all I need is a Tee Shirt that says "Very Stable Oscillator"

Man when i first heard that baby i knew you were going to use it, nice work !

That's how I sequence on it too. It's a great little device and of course every sequence can be it's own length so really intuitive to leave progressions out.

been a sound engineer and making electronic music for decades was nice to have some refreshing new techniques in the video I have no used before, you also increased my excitement to play with the black box more which I at first didnt like but I am learning more and getting to like the fluid no nonsense UI and work flow. One of the most intuitive production tools out there.

This is so perfect to hang out to on a Friday evening and relax after a long evening recording and mixing. Nice and chill vibe in this jam. Love it.

Never mind the GAS, I want that table!

"does this sound tight? yes it does!" lol. been there a million times hahaha

This channel has become my therapy. Thank you.

It’s a great quality built machine with a ton of features!

I’ll tell you Ricky, I got the Bluebox, and at first I thought, I don’t need another multitrack mixer/recorder, but then I was thinking about it, and thought I’ve got 4 mixers just in my eurorack that I use constantly, so yeah it could be useful! So I’ve got the Blackbox, the Bluebox, the SH4D and the Dr 880 all connected in midi and mixer, and have a styles (like Yamaha calls them) workstation! So now I’m making my own styles on my Korg Kronos/Nautilus combination (because I have an 88 Kronos and a 61 Nautilus) and it’s bad ass! So when sampling now I say yes, I need a mixer to do it right! It also ties all the FX clocks together on Microcasm, Mood, Fable etc…the only thing is, more 1/8 to 1/8 and 1/8 to 1/4 splitters, $100 for good ones and a few more 1/8 midi cables, yeah that’s a pain and pricey but worth it! Correction, I wanted to use the Fable (no midi, damn!) the H9 I used instead.

All other KZfaqrs: look how the nee Bluebox can record all theses machine at once on different tracks Tinez: I am making a song with just the blackbox

Made me smile when you were shuffling through the samples at the end during the jam and that “caw!” kept coming up

Yeah, I’m ready for the Black Box now.

The color and photography of ur videos are amazing. The overall quality is so good. I dont even make this kind of music but damn this channel is gold. Not to mention the music haha cheers!!

Good demo... Showed me why it would be undesirable in my workflow... Thanks... :)

The most underrated box imho.

That tip about how to use the sequences is priceless to me. Thanks!

Love the "Does this sound tight?" :D

To set up a section or arrangement in song mode, simply go to the sequencer page, activate the pads (micro arrangements) you want to include in the song section, then go back to the song page select the song and loop mode, then record the section. Hope this helps bro.

What a great jam, and a great piece of gear. Blackbox looks like a lot of fun.

That baby sample made my Monday a whole lot brighter!

"Does this sound tight?" LOL that killed me

That ride sounded killer! Thank you for all the inspiration from your videos.

2:39 - A song section is to sequences as a sequence is to pads. Ricky shares a good tip on often keeping sequences limited to one pad. A song section might hold only one seq, (think intro), but generally, a song section holds multiple seqs. Use multiple song sections containing different combinations of seqs to arrange your track.

Great vid, casual, going with the flow of what the patch was speaking, really dig it. SHOCKING outro vid...Ricky Tinez PRODUCTIONS IN EFFECT!

The pitch shift on the ride at the end was so clean

I like your humility

Dope performance Ricky. I’m in total agreement just how inspirational the Blackbox is every time you turn it on. I have never experienced beat block with it, not ever.

Glad to see that a pro is equally chaotic and confused as me. Still helpful, might buy that, had the eurorack bitbox and sold it but loved the workflow and possibilities.

I love the jams in every of your videos, so nice to see, what the equipment is capable of

Ricky, your videos always put a smile on my face! I always learn so much. I got a Blackbox, I think it's dope to make music on.

That blackbox is pretty bad ass.

Flicked to a different tab for a second and then boom, the baby noise scares the crap out of me! Great video man, really cool process

Damn dude, that jam at the end was super funky. Great video, got my sub

Do enjoy watching you creating beats,I like the Blackbox ! Nice one Ricky

man man man, listen what an inspiration. I dont talk about 1010, ok its a dope little box, but i reeaaally love the way that you present this. Very funny and professional . So, cant wait a new video ! cheers

Fun watching you create

Great, you are the best black box seller!!!!

Again, another great vid!!

so cool man thank you for sharing good vibes, it makes me want to enjoy my blackbox even more, and in different ways now !!! ps: you killed me with that baby sample ;D

Thank you Enrique

So dope! Don't be afraid to dive into that Soundtrack Loops folder some day bro we got you covered.

Man that baby sound is the stuff of nightmares.

Me: This looks great just to have a mess around with, might pick one up. Internet: £535 please. Yikes.

Yoooo that outro was fresh af

Watched your Blackbox vids a few times over now and Reverb prices as low as 25% off new. Now I just need $450 Happy holidays to you Ricky! Be safe & covid free thru 2021 🍻

thanks for sharing your process, bro-- reminds me I have to groove more on my BB...

Yooooo! I freaking lost it at 7:17 That sounded CRAZY

Dawless......only to stare are an even smaller screen

Loved the ride cymbal at the end. ;-D

Best Video in a long time, really lighted up my mood on a bad day :)

Good stuff, I’m liking the blackbox.

That Baby was making my day!l lol! I enjoyed this vid!

this is so dope. injecting some groove into my sunday morning. Peace

Awesome!!!

Raaa... my birthday. that made me feel special to have accidentally landed here.

i love this track

Great video

Amazing bro!!!

this tune reminded me of one of your VCF releases, so good

Nice !

"does this sound tight?--yeah it does!" @9:07 lolol

about 04:32 : I imagine people mentioned this already, but you can of course also simply mute pads in the mix (mix >info>(everything turns green)>click the pad you want to mute.

Finding it increasingly difficult not to join in with that outro catchphrase.

Impressive Job, many thanks for sharing with us 👦 👋

Wow so deep🙌🔥

Usefull and 'njoyable...as usual ;-D

Ha ha! Does this sound tight? Yes. Yes, it does.

Time to check the Bluebox, I’m sure you’ll love it.

Chill! Love this vibe

Amazing. Thank you.

dope tutorial

wow. you make anything sound good. damn.

How is this not a "Compact Creation"? 😂 Amazing work, as always!

great jam there Ricky! loved it. got that classic ricky tinez style. you gotta put out more stuff man. so many dope songs in videos but never released

Good stuff dude! Considering getting Blackbox to pair with my Model:Cycles and my 8bit warps... 😁👍

Damm you must be board lol. Awesome jam. Now I have to pull my bb out of hibernation and feed it some new samples I have collected over the last 7 months that he has been sleeping. Lol. Great sh.. Thank you so much for all the vids awesome content. And the baby 🍼! Dope. Stay safe. Godspeed

Keep it deep! Word word son!

always dope! thanks ! feel like dancen'

I love the Blackbox. I didn't expect to dig it so much, but I watched one of your videos a while back and grabbed one. I usually use an MPC, but the Blackbox paired up with a Midifighter 3d is a killer combo for live stuff. I made a couple solid tracks/videos with that pair. I keep it in a little bag and it was my main portable rig until I got a PO33. I always dig your stuff bro, great content. Good work.

Love your videos man!

I love getting out of the daw. This groove box definitely seems pretty cool for a noob, seems pretty intuitive, but a hi learning curve. But you seem like a genius with technical stuff. I would probably like the track mute in mpc live rather than this. But you explained everything so clearly.. I am glad to have found your channel. Let me know if you got a mpc live video cuz I might invest. Thanks man. Keep it up, really respect what you are doing here! I wish I would've discovered you when my mpd32 worked.

How is sound quality as opposed to say an iPad running through an interface of same loops? For instance. Take 5 loops and load them in this. Then load 5 in Blocs wave on iOS. Wonder which sound better? Fidelity wise?

This turned out fire!

Of course your video this weekend has to add to the GAS since I was researching the Blackbox earlier today lol

12:09 these incidental mashups while messing with the interface mang, sound designer

This one gets a thumbs UP for the creepy baby giggle alone! XD

15:52 Instead of hitting Play, then Record, have you tried holding Rec, then play? See the manual for v1.5 p31, if I understand it correctly. Record while playing is described on p32.

I love the fact the track name is 1010day, the brand is 1010 and the video is released on 10th of October.

that was soo fire

I'm generally a fan of directory directory structure organization on computers, but the more I use these stand alone music devices, the more convinced I am that they need to embrace attribute tags. Like, imagine you want to find something and you could search on deep+bass and get 808, double, etc. You'd have to tag like hell, probably on a computer at the time of sample creation, but it would make it so fluid to do those searches - and might kick up some sounds with attributes outside of the context you were looking at, but that work nonetheless. Anyhow, props on creepy babies. KIR.

straight up, I caught this video out the corner of my eye, and thought it was mark maron making this beat
