It's practice time! And this is the set I hope happens. The Octatrack is locked in, handling mixing and chord sample duty, I have the Circuit tracks as my drum machine/sequencer. Then taking the midi sequence from the Circuit it my Avalon Bassline - low end for days. I'm really wanting to see if this setup will work as I expect it to so let's give it a shot, all "mess-ups" included!
Circuit Tracks - amzn.to/3v26lne
Octatrack - amzn.to/3wLV5Mh
Avalon Bassline (don't buy it, its too expensive)
My Synth Rack - amzn.to/3Vg8CWF

Lots of great lessons here, thanks for sharing RT! You could deliberately slide over to bring stuff in on the 3, then use the two extra bars for the drop to get back to 1. The key change when exposed like that I think works if it modulates down, and close by in the Circle of Fifths depending on how minimal the melodic content of the part is. If it modulates up or distant from where you begin in the circle of 5ths then it sounds too cheezy like the 80's or straight dissonant when it's bare like that, you could hide it behind more stuff or take two or three steps to get there if you have a target note to reach. So here, G to F# is a bit of a leap, maybe better to step through a couple other keys (say A then B, as they're not too distant and B will very nicely move to F#, or use relative minor of A instead of A; like G > F#m > F# . Key of G has an F#dim in it already which could be a really cool step to the minor F# then the major F#) so land on the F# right when you bring in the new chords to ground it, for that floating down then landing feeling.

@cooksoni.a 3 ай бұрын

awesome work like always, im always jotting notes down when you do these videos. i would suggest tho, it might sound more natural if you try changing the key of your sequences after the sample is in. like maybe bring the new sample in, take out all the other melodic elements and drums for tension, change the key of the sequences (while theyre muted to the crowd), and then when you bring everything back it'll be in key. it might be a smoother experience. and its ok to have the sample playing in a different key than the previous sequences together as long as theres not too much sustained melodic content and theyre not clashing too hard. if you think of it with djing, its okay to be mixing tracks that arent in the same key, but it often depends on the content of each track and how much/what kind of melody is present. but with your samples i think it'll be easier since youre not dealing with fully mixed and arranged tracks, and your two "decks" are basically a bass line and a sample

It's not my kind of music, but I've seen a lot of tips and tricks. There aren't that many that show how to do it, with all the challenges and little mistakes. Thanks for that and I wish you all the best. What is a pity are the ads that kill the flow of experience. I must have had 10 of them, YT is crazy, it's getting more and more. I don't know if you can adjust that, a few less would be nice. Anyway, it's probably just me.

@bengrant9427 3 ай бұрын

Unreal Ricky 🔥I was trying a similar setup with the Tracks a SE-02 and an SP-404 that has the compressor on permanently. But there just isnt this level of control with the EXT INST turning off when moving in and out of modes. Seems like the octatrack would be a way better option.

@dracul74 3 ай бұрын

Great stuff. That said, I’d drop the OctaTrack for a mc 707 or 404 as both would give you access to a huge library of sounds and you can trigger clips… and do real-time effects stuff to. It’s probably cause I’ve never fallen for the OctaTrack though. I do own several Elektron products and enjoy them though….

@lxxwj 3 ай бұрын

instead of switching the key of the bassline before you bring the new set of chords in, have you ever tried leaving it? it creates a lot of dissonance but that tension is so cool to dance to. it also mirrors how DJs work (or used to work before you could change the key of a track whenever you want) where theres that moment of harmonic tension before the new track's bassline is brought in. might be fun to experiment with

@billpayer3745 3 ай бұрын

Being a DJ originally, waaaay before i got into production, i wonder if it'd be less stressful to being able to pre-listen to stuff you are bringing in? So, im wondering whether a 4 channel DJ mixer would help to smooth it all out? For transitioning, I think that a live loop from the outgoing track is smoother than the forced key change. This is all just for discussion, I'm not criticising in the slightest. I love it when you are just getting crazy with it!

@bflash77 3 ай бұрын

You make me want to take tracks out of the box again. Tracks is an improv machine. I gotta ask, do you use presets for synth 1&2, or do you design your own patches in components? Dope video btw, Ricky 🎛️🎚️⚡
