Awesome. Love the new approach. Your finger drumming rythms and sound design are always so good. Love the new camera angle really helps to see what is going on. Great tune.
when the lady suddenly starts singing in Brazilian Portuguese, Brazilians are like: wait, whaat ? Nara Lofego Leão (January 19, 1942 - June 7, 1989) was a Brazilian bossa nova and MPB (popular Brazilian music) singer and occasional actress. Great choice of artist and record!
Samplear Nara Leão não significa que é brasileiro (na real, é mais chance de não ser. Brazucas sampleiam menos música br que os gringos). Morar em Londres não significa que não pode ser brasileiro. Tem 200k brasileiros por lá.
@Koen K I'm pretty sure in a recent update the Octatrack got the ability to play specific slices of a sound triggered by external midi, so each key on the keyboard will trigger one chopped vocal that's been determined beforehand
Great stuff man as always, waiting for the second one! I'm wondering, how do you achieve the tom sound pitching down (or is that the filter opening up?) at 00:36, track 4 on DT? LFO?
Hey thanks a lot man! I used a LFO indeed, to module the pitch. To get a predictable descending sound I used a saw shape LFO and trigless trigs to retrigger the LFO right before the tom break. At 1:23 I unmute the track a bit too late so the LFO doesn't retrigger properly, which results in the super high-pitched toms, aha, I thought this was kinda cool after all.
Hey thanks, I make jam breakdown videos on Patreon and I did break down the setup from that video series but I don't think that will happen on UA-cam anytime soon.
Hey, I used the LFO for this, it's a downward ramp LFO that controls the Tune setting of the tom. The key is to use the LFO Mode called "One" or "Half", then to place a trigless trig in the sequencer to trigger the LFO at the same exact spot each cycle. You also want to deactivate the LFO Trig function of your "regular" trigs so that you won't retrigger the LFO when playing the sample live. As for the "perfect" tuning well it's actually kinda off from the harmony, I simply adjusted it by ear to get something that sounded cool to me! Hope that makes sense. 🙂
@@Aldoistaken Thank you so much for replying. I am trying to figure out how to do what you said but it seems a bit over my head. Thank you again for taking the time to attempt explaining it to me. I assume I just don't know enough to fully figure it out.
Oh man I also love doing live sampling. More of this please! So, let me get this straigh...both the flute and the voice were sampled on the fly with the OT? If this is the case, how did you manage to change the pitch of the flute beforehand? And also, I guess its possible to configure the slicing mode and number of slices before the sampling with the OT? Keep it up man! Peace
Hey you got it right, the record is sampled on the fly. The Octatrack has a super interesting workflow for this kind of stuff : you can record into a recording buffer, and each of the 8 tracks can play from that buffer, but each track can also have completely different set of parameters (including the pitch, play speed, effects and pretty much everything else). So basically on one track I play the vocal chops at the normal pitch, and on another track I play the flute chops pitched up an octave. I could also play some other chops reversed and distorted on another track, etc. You have 8 tracks available so that's a lot possibilities
@@Aldoistaken dude...no way! So just to be completely sure...., it is possible to set the slicing before sampling or loading a sample? This sounds like a dream come true.... !!
@@omarsorianolopez5290 Hmmm, yes it's possible to set the slicing before and record into the sliced buffer (from any internal or external source) but if you load a sample you won't be playing from the recording buffer anymore so the slicing won't stay. Kinda hard to explain but hope that makes sense! Feel free to ask for clarifications again, aha.
Hey, I was using one the whole time and the levels were descent so they probably would have been too low without it. Either way the Octatrack doesn’t have phono inputs so using a separate one would be the logical thing to do I guess. Hope that helps!

I find myself coming back to this a lot.
THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE
Short but intense - thanks for this man, you’re inspiring!
Hey thank you for watching!
Loved It!. Its exactly what I was looking for!
Awesome. Love the new approach. Your finger drumming rythms and sound design are always so good. Love the new camera angle really helps to see what is going on. Great tune.
I'm super glad you enjoy this new format! Thanks for the support man. :)
Read in the descriptions that there are pre sliced slots. Are these just equal time slices? It’s not slicing on transients or anything?
@@jamesross-smith8358 In that case I had a simple 32 slices grid, all equal in length, but you could create a completely custom grid too. :)
freakin aldo did it again! This is a banger-damn I gotta upload more
Aldo is 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank youuu
It's a mastercraft! Amazing! I love your new series! 😍
Thank you so much!

Mentira que tu é br!!!!!!! Sou fã demais cara!! Teu trabalho é uma inspiração para mim!!
Caraca... Brasuca.. que massa... muito TOP cara... Grande abraço. THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE
sério q o cara é BR? Porra... foda d+
É do Brasiiiiiiiil 🤘🤘🤘❤❤
Não-Brasileiros podem gostar de música brasileira também, 😉
No perfil dele no bandcamp consta que ele é de Londres. I am pretty sure he is British.
Samplear Nara Leão não significa que é brasileiro (na real, é mais chance de não ser. Brazucas sampleiam menos música br que os gringos).

What the shit is happening here?! This is fantastic. Would love to see a walkthrough...you are USING this gear, man. **applause**
The exact words I said out loud were “what the shit” 😂
1UP for the walkthrough! Looking into buying the Digitakt...
@Koen K I'm pretty sure in a recent update the Octatrack got the ability to play specific slices of a sound triggered by external midi, so each key on the keyboard will trigger one chopped vocal that's been determined beforehand
Yeah, I would love to learn to do this
@Koen Karsten I’m guessing he just had the sample play from the vinyl but already had it chopped beforehand on another track
This is next level. This is the one.
lovely job! this is a breath of fresh air, i’ve never seen this done with this gear.
Hey man, I'm super glad you liked it
More of this, please. Yes, indeed!
It turned out great! Aldo, well done! Beautiful composition and skillfully sampling! Greetings from Russia!:)
Much love Nara Leao
Well done, Aldo! Nara is great! Loved this new flipping series, looking forward to the next videos! Abraço!
Dude I was forgot your channel name, glad I found you again..
Aha, that's nice, hope you'll like the new stuff. :)
@@Aldoistaken yeah your new setup is cool..
so hyped for this new chapter of music from you!
Dayum dude. I didn’t know what to expect but that was pretty damn cool.
Hey mannn, glad you liked it!
Dude this blew me away
Absolutely stunning
Aldo, genial como siempre! La cámara desde esta posición está súper cool, felicidades
More of these, please!
The new one is dropping tomorrowww. ✨
Oh damn, that groove though
so so clean, beaut stuff man!
Thanks man!

@@Aldoistaken Oh nice, thanks for the answer! It's always great to learn something :) Keep it up!
Man I've got the takt, the step, a logue and I was about to pull the trigger on an ot last week. Perfect timing. Nice sound
Go for it if you can, it's amazing
Love this, can't wait for more!
Very enjoyable as well as inspirational.
The Drums sounds so clean
Awesome!! Would you ever consider doing tutorials on how you do all of this!?
Hey thanks, I make jam breakdown videos on Patreon and I did break down the setup from that video series but I don't think that will happen on UA-cam anytime soon.
Great song! Thank you!!!
Hey, thank you. :)
Awesome! You are a wizard!
Seriously good !
I’m digging this big time
Masterclass🙏
Fantastic.
Thanks mate
gonna be good
Good shit my dude
Damn, this is straight up FIRE...
Here for dem cable management 🎹
This is amazing!
great.
Great track, reminds me of Bonobo
My mind is blown
Like

Incroyable !
INCREDIBLE! 💙
Yo thanks
Great Jam!
Awesome
Awesome!
Wow 🔥🔥🔥🤘
How did you get Track 4 to drop in tune every time you hit it @0:37. and have a perfect de tune? Thank You.
Hey, I used the LFO for this, it's a downward ramp LFO that controls the Tune setting of the tom. The key is to use the LFO Mode called "One" or "Half", then to place a trigless trig in the sequencer to trigger the LFO at the same exact spot each cycle.

@@DJSlimzilla Hey you're welcome, feel free to shoot any other questions, it's definitely a bit hard to sum up in a few words!
very very nice!!!!!!
The camera view is perfect :) Love that you use a vinyl :)
Dope

Yooo
crazy

@@Aldoistakenyes I understand. Thats awesome! Thanks a lot man, cheers
Dope!!
Thanks mannn
@@Aldoistaken 💚
bop
Chill
I haven't seen much of how the OT works, but I don't see you start recording.. is it just always on, or is it midi controlled by the DT?
Yeah the OT is controlled by the DT so the recording starts when I start both the DT and the OT at 0:07. :)
This was really impressive!
Which record is that?
This one! : ua-cam.com/video/osaps8g8ikk/v-deo.html Track 9. :)
In brazilian portuguese? (Language that I speak)
Hey! Do you need a phono pre-amplifier to play the record on the octatrack?
Hey, I was using one the whole time and the levels were descent so they probably would have been too low without it. Either way the Octatrack doesn’t have phono inputs so using a separate one would be the logical thing to do I guess. Hope that helps!
@@Aldoistaken that's what I thought. thanks for your reply!
fuckn love it
ceo of cable management
lol, that actually sounds pretty cool thanks
BRUTAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!! LoL!!!!!!!
👍
Love this one, however, it was over too soon (so I'll just listen a couple more times)
Thanks a lot, the next one should be a bit longer!
What kind of computer do you use for this?
Hey, I have a 2019 13'' MacBook Pro with a 1.4GHz i5 and 8Gb of RAM. :)
@@Aldoistaken thanks so much for responding!
I love it! This is a really good substitute for the random jam series, while you cannot do those
Hey, glad you like it man! Unfortunately I don't think I'll release those anywhere else for copyright reasons. :/
Ah yeah... I guess that makes sense... :D
