Haha! Yeah! And Wow, that’s quite amazing coming from you. I have learned so much from your channel as well. Loving the thought of all the exchanging of ideas going on.

Ain't that the truth! It is a bottomless well of discovery. Always new treasures to be found and lessons to be learned.

I’m so glad to hear that!

Thanks for the comment and encouragement for more vids. I have been in a slump of life but want to get back to dropping some more OT vids. Hopefully a new one this week or next at the latest

So glad to hear that I appreciate comments like this so much

You are so welcome!

You bet. Took me a while to wrap my head around it and create a workflow where I was not losing stuff all the time. So glad that it helped!

You're welcome

So glad to hear that. I am the same way too. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Glad it was helpful. Took me a while to wrap my brain around it and come up with a workflow

Thanks for that feedback, I greatly appreciate it. Yes, I will indeed add that to my list of upcoming videos. I think I have a pretty good workflow for gain staging, recording and whatnot but would need some time to flush out the ideas for a vid!

Thanks for that comment!

You bet. It’s a life saver!

Glad it helped! I can think of another circumstance but of course with OT there are always surprises.

Thanks! Got that at the Moog factory in Asheville NC when I took a tour a few years back. 😎

@@_justin_joe That is such a magical place! It's kind of a miracle how they keep the spirit of Bob Moog while continuing to create new designs for the modern musician. (I'm a happy Sub 37 owner)

So very true! I love my MiniTaur and have had the pleasure of using many of their wonderful products. Top notch stuff, always.

Thanks so much!

Just checked out your channel and subscribed as well. Dope content!

Absolutely, it can be super confusing indeed and the source of much frustration until you can wrap your head around what it is doing. Glad it helped!

yeah i realized what it means to say is "Assign to free Flex sample slot" and then "Assigned to Flex sample slot 3". And then its still up to us to go point the machine at that newly filled slot - i can imagine use cases where you wouldnt want to change it right away and instead put that new sample on another "part", so i guess it makes sense :(. It took me FAR too long to figure out that there is one Flex sample list that is shared by all the Flex machines because everytime i saw the message "assigned to Flex 4" i wrongly assumed it was putting it on the 4th flex machine of the project.

@@marshalldestro Thanks man! I didn´t use my octatrack now for a while and only reading this gives me a headache already. So - better never stop using your octatrack haha ;)

No issues here in regards to sound quality. It is actually quite excellent in my opinion to say the least. If you are having issues while sampling I would venture to bet it has more to due with gain staging, by that is just my 2 cents. It sounds awesome in my opinion and when sampling my hardware synths, if my levels are set right, I cannot even tell the difference between the sample and the original. I have returned other samplers like the Deluge due to sound quality issues so I have certainly given this a lot of my attention in my set up.

@@_justin_joe hey man following up after running my own experiments. Yeah your right dude. I noriced when you gain stage correctly, it makes a huge difference. I recently followed a tutorial and the guy had the gain at 127 on nearly everyrhing. But, I started mixing and sampling between ot and digitakt. And i was getting some noise when going from ot to digitakt. Like this sample sounded fine on ot, very clean, and when sampling to digitakt it had a hint of noise. I tried different cables and everything . Turns out cos i was sampling from ot headphone jack, the headphones volume from ot was clipping ae ir was nearly all the way up. So I backed it down while sampling etc and yeah, everything was staged correctly and I had no issues at all. Made me think wow, maybe some people have just used it wrong in some instances. Its definitely got a bit of a bad rap. But its all good. Thanks for the informative video i found it very useful 👍🏻

@@wreignone Thanks for that follow up and your feedback on your tests. Gain staging is SO important on everything and it a bit tricky on the OT since there are so many places to adjust the volume. Like you said, having your levels at 127 is the best place to start. EZBOT video he is always hammering home to have everything at 127, which is no attenuation. Then you can set your level from there in the amp section which also sets you up for your LFOs to work better when controlling the amp level and whatnot.

Thanks! Which parts of the template are you most interested in? Would be glad to a video on it

Yes but in order to do that you need to resample that track and save the new sample

No need to clear. Next time you arm or record it just records over the previous

At least the 1st time and do it again when you add any more samples

@@_justin_joe Ok, thanks for the reply :)

Glad it helped. I have had a lot of heartache along the way but now it’s like 2nd nature and with templates it gets even easier.

Got it from the Moog factory in Asheville NC when I went on a tour of the plant there. It was such a fun experience and place. Not sure if they are still doing that since they got bought by InMusic and fired a bunch of peeps 😢
