I know music is not a competition but amongst everything I found on the AIRA Compact series, this video stands out as the one with the most convincing song. Where other videos treated the E-4 as a joke or gimmick, you are using it artistically to great effect. Awesome.
There are a flood of influencers releasing demos of these new little Rolands today, but I went to your channel because I knew you would use them to make some great music. Your explanation of the features and workflow were clear and to-the-point, too. Well done!
she´s not a paid infulencer? ok. then it really must be her opinion that these little pieces of plastic-trash are cool. I mean, wow, 1 bassdrum, 1 snare etc... what a ripoff for the money
For me, as a pure DAWless jammer, who lives the term "single gear jam" and whose motto is "Less gear, more fun", this series comes at the right time. But it was your jam, your explanations and your love for the details, your passion, which you can clearly feel again in this video, that convinced me to buy this series for my channel and my community. Thanks Rachel, deep from my heart.
Not sure I get the whole less gear more fun thing. But then I come from a different time and don't find this manufactured sound very pleasing. Not knocking those who like it, and Rachel has a very nice voice. I just prefer hard hitting rock and roll played on real instruments. Clearly taste is subjective , and mine is no more legitimate than anyone else's. But I have to wonder if the technology drives the music or the other way around. I mean, amps were turned up until they distorted, that prompted boxes to bring that in under controlled conditions. And the guitar effects industry was born.
@@Dude_Slick The problem with making music with the DAWless (without a PC workstation such as Ableton) is that you quickly get into the rush to keep buying new synths, since you rarely want to admit that it's the lack of talent that makes my music not great. I don't think so at all. My trend is in the other direction. I recommend jamming with as few devices as possible so that you can work on your creativity. That really helps enormously. After all, I was the first and as far as I know I'm the only one in the world to jam with a single Volca Bass for 45 minutes. You can find the video on my channel.
@@Dude_Slick I’m definitely of another generation, but I love seeing videos like this. It’s inspiring seeing the younger generations creating music. I can appreciate many genres, but the limitless(imo) approach of adding/subtracting gear(in my case, eurorack modular) to find the perfect balance of sound for a project is satisfying. I won’t be buying any of these roland modules because modular is already expensive and these wouldn’t fit into my rig. I do have a couple of eventide H9 guitar effects pedals I use with my mackie mixer. They’re small and extremely powerful & clean sounding units. I miss the old rock and roll. I see rap having that edginess and grit that rock once had in a mainstream way. I’m glad music is still saying something and not just regurgitating corporate and country/government propaganda. And with spaces becoming smaller, musicians and hobbyists need smaller footprint gear to make it happen. Costs are more important now than in the past. Buying a Moog in the 70s was unheard of without extremely deep pockets. Buchlas weren’t cheap either.
@@EnviroDouglas you might be surprised but I am at the 50th and my experience with the dawless community is ..it's the older generation using hardware synths ..for reasons. Most of the younger musicians dondt even know that there is a life beyond Ableton and other DAW
Love how you embrace the tech. Realtime morphing/mixing/editing, etc.. Still have the NI Core controller from 15 years ago. And, Spectrasonics Stylus RMX is a early version of this type of looping/morphing. I've always enjoyed playing around with it. Even 20 years ago, the artist with the high end Macs & software were doing this type of thing. Was referred to as "underground". You have very creatively embraced this, and keep evolving with it, but with more song writing style combined. Totally dig it! 👌
That was absolutely amazing! I didn’t think I wanted these, but I’m going to pre-order them now. Because that was amazing ! Not that I could even come close to doing what you did. But it looks like so much fun!
Fantastic demo. I have J-6 for 3 days and it’s a real beast - it’s quite simple regading all parameters in menu or knobs/ buttons departement, but it’s very inspiring because of it’s melodic power and chords sequences you love but never played live or in the editor. It push you to seek interesting chords and sequences.It’s sounds are very intensive and really nice sounding. It can surprise even more once you connect J-6 via MidiOut to an external, more complex synth or module to play same melody from both!
Always amazing demos. If I was an electronic instrument developer you'd be one of the first people i send a new product to because you always do them justice.
I have been searching for tutorials for my new t8 and j6 and i stumbled on your content. I love the setting of this fun video. The beat and your voice are amazing! Thanks for this video.
This was a great music example on what this is capable of doing! I kind of wish to hear a continuation of this though, maybe adding more elements on the go & a third chord progression would be amazing as well! :) x
WOW!!! Heres this girl again giving a little concert in this magical outdoor place. It seems like Im having a flashback to a year or 2 ago. Soooo good!!! Thanks Rachel PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 2nd Comment…this is my favorite RKC song. I keep coming back to it. Great use of the 3 Roland products. Loved the Microfreak song on another UA-cam, Love this one even more. Thanks again for your great vocal performance and your mastery of your instruments to make it all come together.
That was a happy little Jam ... i have been lacking inspiration from a long time to create music, but when i see you doing these little jams and sessions i helps me bring more ideas ... much love RKC
OMG this is utterly amazing. I already have the E4 & love it but this video has done more for Roland sales then anything else as I now intend to get the other two AND you are British!!!
Best video I've seen showcasing these units. Professional and entertaining results highlighting they can be a great portable set up and inspiration generator. Helped with more than a dash of talent from RKC... Great Stuff !
I've seen a lot of producers online but they talk so much but this lady right here she don't talk she get right to it off the fly she's very very very talented . I haven't seen no men spin off stuff like this off the fly at all online period just making it up beautiful music.
What a beautiful song!!! Have you released it ? Would love to have it in my playlist 🙂. What a great work and many thanks for explaning those little Roland weapons! Good stuff!
Awesome as always Rachel! I love the fact that you take the excuse of a "review" to make cool stuff. But the explanation at the end was veru good as well.
Wow. Subscribed on this amazing video music. You have incredible talent. Found you on the 4 Producers videos. But this one got me to subscribe. I LOVE synths so I respect your knowledge and talent. Amazing talent, incredible voice and the knowledge to make your voice sound so many different ways. Thank you.
very very very impressed! your voice, your technical and musical knowledge, your performance including your live performances with your friends .. thank you thank you! just love it!
Wow!!! Very impressive!! Very creative and quite the voice you have too! Loved it! Thank you for sharing and introducing these amazing machines. I think you inspired me to buy these!
This is the most recent post I could find so ignore all previous comments .. I now know what Stems are & that I would need to export wave or Wav files .. But also that Logic & Ableton & Cuebase all do things in different way's .. If we sell our house I will go for the same set up that Mary gave you courtesy of Apple .. But the main thing is that I have been So inspired by your music & film's that I have broken out of my Lethargy ( 4 year's since I left the house except for Jab's ) But I have been back in my studio & tuning up & setting up everything again .. & I have been reading the manuals with my magnifying glass lol & watching the How to videos on you Tube .. So thank you for the inspiration ! .. & the main thing is you make it look like fun .. I have been so caught up with the actual recording I forgot to have fun .. I am not able to commit to a patreon .. sorry But I only have my pension to spend on my Music / photography etc as agreed with my wife & it is only fair .. if I were actually earning any money that would be different .. But there is / are so many things that have to come 1st . We need a new Car & our House needs work ( at least we own it ) But that mean's new gutters & so much more .. Still I literally have everything I need to record & every few months if I save I can buy something ( New Toy's ) .. So Have a Fantastic summer .. & thank's for the inspiration .. Stay safe & I wish you lot's of Good Karma .. Like Mary you are making your own Luck .. 132 thousand subscribers & climbing all the time .. For a one woman show you are Amazing & I love your choices in the sounds .. & you are Good looking too .. hey take all the compliment's you can .. time goes by so fast . Big Love to you & all your loved ones & the True Fan's / not just patreon .. I am seriously thinking of buying some Roland stuff . You are a GR8 advertisement for them . Bye no need for replies Honestly ( a like will do ) lol bye
A-FREAKIN'-MAZING!!! Music technology has just gone off the charts in terms of creativity and affordability and it virtually DARES YOU NOT to make good music!!
Such a fascinating video. Was not expecting a full song either.👏👏Most folks would just do a 30 sec jam and then onto the gadget.. Thankfully you didn't and belted out another bomb. Great stuff ,made me simile too.
I know music is not a competition but amongst everything I found on the AIRA Compact series, this video stands out as the one with the most convincing song. Where other videos treated the E-4 as a joke or gimmick, you are using it artistically to great effect. Awesome.
The best promotional video for these Roland devices 🤩
I keep coming back to this video because this is one of the best songs made with this gear on this platform!
This is awesome! That Vocal Tweaker particularly seems exciting! No matter the limitations, you always create a banger!
Why is all of your stuff so FREAKIN' GOOD??? Great combination of music and visuals.
I just love my T8 ua-cam.com/video/ciRtlW4zXgE/v-deo.html
You're such a great talent Rachel, performing magic with these!
This performance really shows the power of these little portable instruments. Well done.
Actually, it really shows the amazing talent of that producer.
Thanks!

To be fair Rachel could make a banger of a track with just her voice and some pots and pans 😀
Yes! By far my favourite from the several demoes I’ve seen 😍
Just discovered Rachel... totally agree.
she´s not a paid infulencer? ok. then it really must be her opinion that these little pieces of plastic-trash are cool. I mean, wow, 1 bassdrum, 1 snare etc... what a ripoff for the money
@@KR4FTWERK - so what are the cheaper options which are better value for money?

Best demo of these yet! You are so talented!
beautiful scenery, vibe and music. Love how you broke down things. These look pretty cool.
Love how you embrace the tech.
Realtime morphing/mixing/editing, etc..

Totally dig it! 👌
This is really great! And what a fantastic demo of what the AIRA Compact series can do.
That's a lot of talent right there. It just goes to show these little Roland's can do amazing things in the right hands.
That was absolutely amazing!
I didn’t think I wanted these, but I’m going to pre-order them now.
Because that was amazing !
Not that I could even come close to doing what you did. But it looks like so much fun!
I thought I’d be watching a demonstration of volca-ish looking roland sound modules, but your open performance is brilliant. Subscribed!
Fantastic music and demo!
Thank you

Just. Incredible.
Seriously loved this, looks like an amazing travel friendly setup. On the list the devices go! Oh, and loved the jam too. Super nice vibe
That's... just... amazing!!!
Such a great combination of talent and technology! 🙂
In good hands every piece of gear is priceless :D
Always amazing demos. If I was an electronic instrument developer you'd be one of the first people i send a new product to because you always do them justice.
If Rachel is not getting big phat checks from Roland before uploading videos...she's underselling her talents!
Artistry of the highest order all around!
So good! So much talent in Rachel - she’s an astronaut in the music space.
Turning knobs is talent now ?
@@cansee0 That’s a pretty provincial viewpoint if that’s all you ‘can see’.
@@cansee0 - Just as much as pressing keys on a keyboard! Anyone can do it, but knowing which ones to press and when is a true talent.
This is the ultimate presentation of these Aira compact devices.
I have the T-8 and J-6, these are so much fun, and the analog emulation is incredibly well done.
I have been searching for tutorials for my new t8 and j6 and i stumbled on your content. I love the setting of this fun video. The beat and your voice are amazing! Thanks for this video.

Thank you Rachelle, thank you Roland from France. I take note...
My 2nd Comment…this is my favorite RKC song. I keep coming back to it. Great use of the 3 Roland products. Loved the Microfreak song on another UA-cam, Love this one even more. Thanks again for your great vocal performance and your mastery of your instruments to make it all come together.
Great atmosphere around you . Flowers, trees, silence.The very thing you need for music and the brightness of the mind, nature is cool.
Holy hell! Amazing as always. I have a J6 on the way and can't wait to get the other two pieces. Your music is hauntingly beautiful as always!
That was a happy little Jam ... i have been lacking inspiration from a long time to create music, but when i see you doing these little jams and sessions i helps me bring more ideas ... much love RKC
Yo this was sick, I always love your videos
I can’t believe just 132…Should be a couple of millions! You’re amazing!!! 💐💐💐
Absolutely mesmerizing performance, wow! Stunned!
this is outright impressive for a couple little roland porta synths and a regular microphone, great job
OMG this is utterly amazing. I already have the E4 & love it but this video has done more for Roland sales then anything else as I now intend to get the other two AND you are British!!!
The Queen of Synth at it again! Regenerative forest styles! Love it Rachel!
A Belle amongst the Bluebells...lovely performance and setting.
Best video I've seen showcasing these units. Professional and entertaining results highlighting they can be a great portable set up and inspiration generator. Helped with more than a dash of talent from RKC... Great Stuff !

What a concept! 100% portable creativity in nature! Loved it. Thank you!
Is it just me or is this video aesthetically pleasing
I feel like all the bluebells were listening, beautiful ,and so is your music x
New to these gizmos but Andertons said to check out your video on them. Glad I did. The song is wonderful and you’re very talented.
Awesome performance! Amazing sound! Thanks for sharing! have a lovely day my friend!👍💐
Im sure no one will make such an impressive first time performance with the new Aira kit, how you got so good on them in such a short time. great vid
Wow this a great performance and also shows how powerful those AIRA devices are.
I was waiting for the first demo from a lady. Beautiful environment and wonderful jam. Thx u!
What a beautiful song!!! Have you released it ? Would love to have it in my playlist 🙂. What a great work and many thanks for explaning those little Roland weapons! Good stuff!
Awesome as always Rachel! I love the fact that you take the excuse of a "review" to make cool stuff. But the explanation at the end was veru good as well.
This is the best demo i've seen so far
Amazing performance as usual, great song as well. 🔥 Thanks for sharing Rachel. Visuals i.e. location and video recording 🤯🤩
This is the best musical sample i have found of the E4 if i do buy it, i will def use your link, thanks great demo!
You make such good music. It really showcases all the instruments you demo in a special way that other channels don’t really do.
I love your music, your voice...
I m a big fan!!
And very good explanations of the machines.
Rachel K Collier you Rocked it!
I came here just for a walkthrough as I just bought those, but wow I’m so glad to have found your music, this jam is so good 🙏🏻❤️🔥
Awesome performance and a great rundown. You’re so talented! The J-6 could be a great tool to hatch some ideas.
Hey just ordered one a few days ago and was just blown away by your performance Rachel! Just subscribed and now a huge fan of you and your music!!!
You came out of nowhere, crashing into my UA-cam feed. First time watching you.
I really like you.
freakin cool Roland, what a GREAT person to show off these new units....
Wow. Awesome! I totally wasn't expecting it to be this good. Well done!
I just came to this channel for the Aira Compact, but, damn, you know how to use music. You make it look easy.
My 10y.o. kid was even digging you last night.
The gear seems cool enough….I like what you did with them….I’ve seen a few of your videos and finally subscribed today
Congrats Rachel!
Speechless

I LOVE TKS A LOT
Cool you made them look and sound less like toys and more like musical instruments. Destroyed a lot of haters with this congratulations 🎊
Excellently done. It's quite the contrast between the ethereal sound and the naturalistic setting.
Wow. First time here and nicely surprised. Great jam.
very very very impressed! your voice, your technical and musical knowledge, your performance including your live performances with your
friends .. thank you thank you! just love it!
Amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bluebells and a Roland walkthrough. Awesome. Thanks RKC!

you know how to do music out of everything. so good.
Very awesome. Love you vocals using the E4.
I love making music outdoors., and these new gear from Roland.
First time seeing you on UA-cam. Subscribed.
Thanks for the review, an cool forest jam.
Seriously great techno-pop track!
Everything thing about this video is fantastic. Thank you. E4 ordered 👌
