Sixteen minutes Octatrack House jam

Loops were done using my gear, but mainly the tr909 sp1200 and linn drum processed with the dp4+, mutator and compressed with my new api 2500, Overstayer VCA and the Focusrite compounder for the kicks.

Then all loops were sliced and arranged into patterns into the octatrack.


Just like in my video : "Octatrack as a live remix tool : Braxe & Falke Intro" I have re-recorded some already famous samples (such as the loops from Jo Bisso : The mistery with me)and remake tracks around them



Recording signal path is :
octatrack to xone vf1 (HPF lightly used in the beginning)
vf1 to overstayer VCA (around 4 db of GR signal 70% wet)
OS to mr816
mr816 to motu 828 via ADAT (I will soon sell the 828 BTW)


My camera don't record more than 8 min that is why I had to add some old school skateboarding video extracts at the end :)

Sounds like you sampled Chubby Chunks, Testament One (who sampled Al Hudson)...

[kidysputpikii]

@dirtyoscs that is exactly what I did, half of this set is based on some famous samples just like I wrote in the extended video description

[kidysputpikii]

thx everybody for your kind words and happy new year :D

Vraiment cool...quand je perd la motivation pour la musique, je te regarde faire joujou et c'est reparti ;)

Les kicks sont tout passé individuellement dans le compounder? Ou c'est le pattern entier? Un peu d'EQ?

Y a possibilité de faire du sidechain en interne dans l'octatrack?

[kidysputpikii]

@milouzzzzch peut être pas tous mais j’utilise très souvent le compounder sur les kicks, dans ce set chaque kick a été resamplé individuellement et je programme les patterns de kick en direct.

Il n'y a pas a proprement parlé de SC en interne dans l'OT mais avec les LFO et le lfo designer il y a moyen d'en simuler

First of all, this is absolutely amazing, and if I had any say, you'd be touring globes. Second, the API 2500 sounds BEAST (even on yt, haha). Advice on two pieces of gear: Machinedrum SPS-1UW+ and Art Pro VLA II (not going to have the money for an API). I was also wondering if I should go all out and get the Machinedrum and the Octatrack. If it helps: I will only be making house, very similar to your style (just 90's grit, ha).

[kidysputpikii]

@MinamotoAkori hey thx for the kind words :) I have no experience with the art pro VLA 2 but it is supposed to be a great buy for the price, regarding the machinedrum, it is definitely a great piece of gear, I use to think about buying one but I ended buying a 2nd octatrack instead as I already had my drum machine bases covered and I wanted to have a super live set up (2 OT + xone62)

BiG BIG BIG respect for not having a computer screen in front of you but thousands of tiny lcd screens:) .. and that you used automation.. with your fingers.. you make me feel i'm not alone;)

[kidysputpikii]

@daftendirekt97 that's because you don't spam your friend enough with my music (:

[aurexlive]

[DigitalNosariSystem]

hey i love your jam you know dreamed it last nite:)

But i am asking one thing how did you to load loops and other thing?

[dscope14]

damn that glitchy video was annoying

[Jesseprit]

This is an awesome track. I can imagine it playing in some clothing store, like h＆m or Zara.

luv this, I hate using computers, got an s950 wired up to a an sp1200, is most of the filtering done on the mutator in the vid? i need to get a new mixer soon, what do you think of digital mixers ? can you get them with multiple internal effects on each channel?
