[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Don't feel like much of a gangster, but I do appreciate your positive feedback :) Thanks for watching.

[@TuneFRK]

random slices with filter sounds great. if you random slice amen break it could give crazy results

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Random LFO and random Arp are the two coolest features of the OT. Thanks for watching!

[@discophone_6214]

Thanks again. Great tuto!

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Glad you liked it! If you have any tutorial / gear review requests, let me know!

[@discophone_6214]

+HalutioN i asked once that part change tutorial. How to change patters so that samples changes for example tracks 1 and 2 so you can arrange song for live performance

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Yeah, I remember: it could be difficult to do a full video on that topic alone, but I'm thinking about an Octatrack Quirks video where I can put that. Essentially, my workflow is to start Pattern 1 on Part 1 and then when I want to have Part 2 on Pattern 2, I copy Pattern 1 onto Pattern 2 slot and then copy Part 1 onto Part 2 and then assign Part 2 to Pattern 2 by selecting it on this Pattern and then I go ahead and make changes, change samples etc. That way I can ensure that the settings are compatible between Parts and that I don't lose my Part 1 sample.

Great 5 tricks

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Thanks!

[@LexXmusic]

Thank you!

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

The pleasure is mine :)

[@awilsonator]

I’ve seen a few videos of the Octatrack paired with the Hologram Microcosm pedal and I wonder how much of the glitching can actually be done just by clever use of the Octatrack..

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

I feel it's a glitch powerhouse; no external FX needed. If you'd like to see more advanced tutorials on what it can do, check out Max Marco on UA-cam: the guy is a wizard!

[@klonhead]

Spoko filmik. Dzieki :)

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Cała przyjemność po mojej stronie!

[@shahirmaged3428]

nice videos

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Thanks!

[@keremk]

i wonder if you can use all these effects on a live vocal getting thru from octatrack...i suppose yes!

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Sure! Would need to have a decent preamp. But I can do a little test in the near future if you'd like.

[@keremk]

Sure. That would be nice. Thanks for your time 🤙

[@ixindamixofficial]

Thanks - Thats made things loads more interesting! I was just wondering about the best way to use scenes .......

[@sotnat9834]

I don't like the sound of Rode NT1 mic ! The high frequency ssss and ttttt are cutted, dull and muddy !

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

There are surely better mics out there. I personally like the NT1 better than the NT1-A. With the limited amount of vocal tracking that I do, I can't justify buying a more expensive mic. Thanks for watching!

[@LlewynDaviesTheThird]

Really helpful. Random Lfo on slice selection is a great tip

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[@Rustik1722]

I HOPE YOU ARE WELL I MISS YOUR CHANNEL

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Appreciate it :) I'm doing fine, but unfortunately 100% consumed by my job at the moment! Zero energy for UA-cam...

[@keremk]
