„Simply making music“ - „just sit down and hit record“. 😊 It‘s inspiring how almost effortless you make it look … and how much fun you seem to have on the way. So true: it doesn’t have to be complex, complicated, weird or whatever. Just sit down and hit record. And: those live shakers are quite nice, actually. Thanks for your time, Ricky, thanks for sharing this video! Cheers!

HAH! This time, I've GOT you, Ricky Tinez! Do you have a Korg EMX-1? No. No, Ricky Tinez, you do NOT. I, however, do. I have waited long for this day, Ricky Tinez. The day on which you would discuss a "simple" DAWless setup, with ANY other piece of gear besides the EMX-1 (or EMS-1). Now, you have fallen into my trap. Do you see me out there, Ricky Tinez? Do you see me, in your mind's eye, standing next to my EMX-1, softly chuckling? Do you? Because I am. Your Octatrack, your Nord... NOTHING you have can touch the insane, elemental, primal goodness of the EMX-1 for simple DAWless setups. BUT... Fear not, for, although you were defeated on this day, there will be others. Now... I shall leave you to contemplate and begin scouring Reverb. (Seriously though, great video - I love the vibe.)

@dracul74 2 ай бұрын

Great stuff. When I work with my samplers my first step (almost always) is to pick a key (not C lol) and sample 6 or 7 chords. Once I chop those to pads I can easily build a pattern for the song. I guess my point is that as keys isn't my primary instrument this approach allows me to figure the pattern and what fits together after the sampling process.
