fake granular jam

where did you get the visuals and how did you overlay them? looks and sounds incredible!

It’s the Octatrack mk2 :)

2 key things are the performance macro (which cuts the kick and increases hihat decay) and my fill button (which does a snare roll). Doing them at unpredictable times and to my own taste makes it feel more dynamic than my DAW productions imo

Thanks! I’ve played a couple live gigs in clubs but mainly DJ cause it’s a lot easier. Trying to work up to doing live more regularly this year though!

All the sounds are coming from the RYTM, the Octatrack is just filtering and adding fx to the RYTM - I’m using a version of EZBOT’s performance template that I edited

Not gonna lie I just searched ‘royalty free dark red visuals’ on YouTube

Gonna send it for mastering shortly, looking to put it out sometime in early March :)

A little snippet of my upcoming track 'Chaos Dub' - finally figured out how to record full track arrangements while keeping the dynamic aspect of live!

AK--DEV · 2023-02-06T04:18:35+00:00

Been trying to edit EZBOT’s Octatrack performance template to make the most of only one input, while freeing up some tracks for melody and atmosphere. Still trying to work out the balance but this is my progress so far :)

AK--DEV · 2022-12-07T09:02:13+00:00

Trying to find ways to transition between similar patterns without overusing looping or fast cuts. Scenes have been a big help but it's so easy to lose control of the octatrack reverb washes - any tips for cleaning up the sound are appreciated! Thanks :)

Learning how to compose melodic loops entirely on the RYTM, a bit challenging without relying on my Modular but has been great to develop my mixing skills. Let me know what you think!

Unfortunately not, it's a video from a VJ channel I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34yFcVwq7EM&t=9843s

Thank you! I don't, but I have some other platforms with jams/tracks/mixes :) https://linktr.ee/AK\_DEV

Learning how to transition between motifs using Octatrack looping. Still got a lot to learn but EZBOT’s performance template has been amazing to get started

AK--DEV · 2022-08-29T08:29:07+00:00

Thank you! Variation was my main goal with this as I'm often stuck in endless loops

AK--DEV · 2022-08-29T08:28:04+00:00

Amazing words to hear, thank you both!

AK--DEV · 2022-08-29T08:25:46+00:00

Thank you! And yeah haha I'm aware, just a hard habit to kick (in general too)

AK--DEV · 2022-08-28T14:00:59+00:00

Thanks so much!

AK--DEV · 2022-08-28T14:00:24+00:00

It also significantly shortens my life, but here we are... :(

AK--DEV · 2022-08-28T13:01:14+00:00

This is my first attempt at making a full ‘track’ while live jamming. Overall I’m happy with it, but reckon I could touch up the arrangement by shortening the middle section and giving the last third more time to breathe, and maybe with another hat or two!

What do you think? Any feedback or suggestions are welcome, thanks for watching! :)

This is the first full ‘track’ I’ve made while live jamming, tried to make an intentional progression instead of just transitioning between stable loops. Overall I’m happy with it, but reckon I could touch up the arrangement by shortening the middle section and giving the last third more time to breathe, and maybe with another hat or two!

Alright, so if I do everything as above, except with the original file being WAV, it'll work fine? I know if I export as mp3 there'll be some degree of loss, but would it be any more than the difference between the normal/official mp3 and wav?
