i think the newer equipment (generally) sounds better, has more features, and that the fetish over the vintage stuff is more about collecting than it is about sound.... just my two cents
Finally there’s a video on UA-cam of an artist producing REAL Electro and not a video titled Electro when the video is actually acid trance. Nice work!
Bro I've never heard anybody make this kind of music. This man has got miami bass electro classic new you name it he got it but your right this particular style is rare to find.
Having grown up with and loved 80s electro this passes the credibility test, very few people get it right on YT. The bassline is great and the punch from the RD8 works brilliant, a lot of the magic is in the arrangement just keeping things interesting, drum fills in the right places and staying within the confines of the genre without overdoing it or sounding too modern. 9/10
When people ask me where to start with hardware for this style of music, I always tell them to get an RD-8 and the SH-101 clone of your choice, and you just proved out my sage advice! haha... but seriously, great work man!
Hi! I also saw way many people use SH01 clones, is it for the sound? I'm about to get a bass station 2, it hass more features and I guess it will work nice for electro...
Richtig geiler Track. Die Idee mit der POV Kamera find ich klasse, so kann man alle Schritte sehr gut nachvollziehen. Bitte noch mehr von solchen Tutorials.
I find these pov tutorials pretty awesome. I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and already watched some videos several times. Thank you for sharing your creative process / workflow. I think it‘s really interesting how other people approach to music making.
@@Erhalder no worries, but seriously, this was amazing - different to the normal "how to" videos I see, not to say they are bad, cos they aren't, but i really liked this style here and the sounds you made, and then finished! Gold star ⭐
I love this! I’m into the same music and have roughly the same setup but I tend to use the rd8 just for jamming because mixing is always a pain in the ass.. but motivated now to get a separate mixer for it so I can utilize those separate outputs. This was helpful. Thanks!
@@ErhalderThanks! I'm running several rd8 parts seperately now through my Tascam U16x8. Really a gamechanger. I can finally use it for actual production instead of just jamming. Thinking about buying a better interface or mixer. The tascam is fine for starters but the sound isn't great. Any suggestions?
@@bikesmusicandrandomness8017 hey robin, nice to hear that. i'm using a tascam 20x20 myself at work, and i think its solid and the sound is fine too. although i just use it as audio interface and never tried the built in mixing/eqs/fx. i guess the differences with 'higher quality' audio interfaces are generally not really audible, especially when used for electronic music or with synthetic sounds. least i can't hear a difference between a 2000$ converter and a 200$ these days. or maybe i just like the 'cheap' sound. so sorry, i can't suggest anything, becuase i haven't tried many.
An absolutely fantastic video... your approach is very inspiring and will help a lot of people write good music for years to come. All the best to you!
When your comment "i dont want to bore you" came up i laughed, i could listen to this all day 😍 ill be happy if i can make a tune sound half this good 😁
Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. The POV intro was a particularly fun, I was right there bopping my head riding on your shoulders. I have an RD-8 mk2 and RD-6 on the way which when paired with my Model D and Crave shall be known as an Ulistack. I hope someday to make anything that sounds half this good.
Sounds good! Great work and very illustrative, sometimes seeing how other people work helps you to think about things from another perspective. You have a new subscriber :)
Nice to see the return of Gene. Havent seen him since QOTSA played Little Sister on SNL. This was badass!!! Love the little explanations. MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!
This is mint. I see you chose which of the 8 outs to record the rd8 with, mixed a few on one channel. smart. yeah it is always a pain to go in and edit things to sync but that is the way it is most of the time haha. glad to see someone else go in and add extra instruments after a jam, glad i am not the only one. great stuff dude!
thanks mate, appreciate! yeah the syncing part is not the most fun to do, but at least it can be done for all channels in one go, if i do it before i start editing.
@@Erhalder dope video! Don't even know what electro is tbh but apparently I dig it lol. Just got the rd8 mkii myself, curious how you hooked it all up. Tried to reverse engineer looking at mine and can't tell if those are all trigger outputs or if you did the bass and snare individually... Thanks!
@@michaelfasko267 electro is basically the sound of early techno and hip hop tracks, influenced by kraftwerk songs like numbers and more fun to compute. check out anything by Drexciya, Cybotron, Egyptian Lover, Man Parrish...
Yo, this is fire 🔥. Straight up, the jam so nice, I commented twice, and played it thrice, Now I got a fever, and the only prescription is 808, I love hearing new ideas, I never even thought about doing electro vibes with my rd 8, and also i didnt realize how awesome all those signal outs were, like how you used that cowbell out for the bass, genius
Best tutorial I have seen:) I completely understand and followed and learned ! Nice Job on the fly! I even want to multi channel record my live creations like you already do.
this sound is REAL electro
Facts .sounds dope
Word!!
The good bump or pop n lock test does it every time
No lies detected
@@freqboutique7441 whats this?
All I gotta say is, who cares if it’s not the original vintage equipment when it sounds THIS good!?
i think the newer equipment (generally) sounds better, has more features, and that the fetish over the vintage stuff is more about collecting than it is about sound.... just my two cents
@@twoHRdrive thats not your two cents, thats the whole 2 billion dollar answer bro
Well, the Ultranova is quite original
I got a minty used rd8 for $240 so no argument here!
Sounds good to me!
Finally there’s a video on UA-cam of an artist producing REAL Electro and not a video titled Electro when the video is actually acid trance. Nice work!
thanks mate 🙏
Hey, gotta say this is some really nice work. Not many people do this drexciyan kind of electro on YT. Really dig it!
Bro I've never heard anybody make this kind of music. This man has got miami bass electro classic new you name it he got it but your right this particular style is rare to find.
@@FeelLykeWise i have a public playlist with tracks like this if you dig it :)
Yeah bro what's the link

the world needs more of this fine real electro, thank you
thanks, c64 for ever! 💾
Agreed
Proper stuff man,
the b boy in me wants to get down n rock out, 50 year old me says, you ain't no spring chicken these days man.
haha you're never too old to rock out man, just make sure no one's watching!
Yeah man, you get Electro, you absolutely do. That's the sound of 82 right there!
This is an excellent format, would happily see more videos like this.
thanks, working on it :-)
@@Erhalder I totally agree, nice format. definitely more of it
@@Erhalder love this format

@@eduugr sounds like a good plan. 💪
top notch.
Glad to know that people out there who still know what TRUE electro is
The non-alignment makes for a beautiful polyrhythm. Accident is the source of greatness.
🎯👯
This is a great format. POV makes it so much more interesting and your annotations are very informative. Fun to watch too!

many thanks, i'm happy to share some more stuff.
sounds like back in the day when I used to breakdance battle!! Nice track
Thank you very much for showing your workflow. Lots of great ideas that will help me finish some dawless tunes.
best tutorial ever!
Super dope electro from scratch. Love it
this is awesome
You knocked out that 2nd bassline effortlessly. Nice electro sounds! Makes me want to dig my SH01A out from the closet.
Jam and arrangement. Very inspiring. Excellent!
Love this format! Thank you for taking the time to break this all down
Nice track! Thanks for sharing your process!
great tutorial, I learnt lots from this, and will keep coming back. thanks, such a great little track to.
awesome, thanks!
Hey men you made my day! REAL ELECTRO! DONT STOP!👍👍👍👍👍
Superb stuff. Thanks for showing the whole process. Inspiring
Nice sound. I have the RD-8 since two days. A LOT of fun. Much better than VST plug-ins. You simply have to have something in your hand.
Wooohooo old skool electro on a sunday morning !!
made my day man, nice to have you back on the tube !
thanks mate.
WTF. Dude this shreds!!!!!! Subscribed
Damn... This are some serious funky beats. Less is more. Love it.
what fresh vibes..
Love it! Great work!
Great job. I listened all the way to the end which is rare for me on UA-cam. Watching the whole (thankfully edited) process was useful too. Thank you
Thank The Motherboard that Bandcamp exists so we can support this amazing music
Awesome video man! Some actual Electro content at last :) Would love to see more of this!
This is totally amazing! I really dig your work man
I learn more here of triggering than other sides,clearly and concise,thanks!
Awesome track! Thanks for sharing the process 😀
thanks mate, i'm glad if it you can get something from it.
Clever use of the mirror to get two angles with one camera. Bravo.
So dope! It inspired me to get out of my ITB comfort zone and start trying some stuff live
So awesome! I am going to buy RD-8.. it's the cleanest sounding drum machine I've ever heard I think.
YESSS Second try on the base! Awesome!
This was a great treat to stumble across!
Subbed for more!
thanks mate!

Very nice. Was listening to this while enjoying my breakfast!
Sounds badass.
Proper underground artist 👏🏽👏🏽
That was SICK bro! That drum machine is on my list for sure.

accent on all steps that makes sense 👌🏻
Great video and a rocking tune... I recently scored an RD-8 from eBay and it's a lot of fun.
Top quality stuff, been thinking of trying to make some electro stuff and it's great seeing your workflow
Watching this straight after work. The last how to make electro vi's was ace!
Hey man I'm from the 90s and my grooves on to your shit bro. Nice.
amazing video! great workflow, and very drexciyan. excellent stuff
takes me back to the 80s
Guapisimo 💥
God damn this is awesome!
GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!
Crazy stuff
Quick execution! I’m inspired to do the same set up this weekend! I really want to use the individual outputs of the rd-8 for effects too! Thanks!
SOLD! Off to the store to buy now.
"I don't know what this button is for" hahahaha great walkthrough though!
Nice to see the return of Gene. Havent seen him since QOTSA played Little Sister on SNL. This was badass!!! Love the little explanations. MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!
yeah, i watched the original SNL sketch because somebody mentioned it in the comments in another video. :-)

Fuckin brillant mate! Truly inspirational!
This is on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo, this is fire 🔥. Straight up, the jam so nice, I commented twice, and played it thrice,
Now I got a fever, and the only prescription is 808, I love hearing new ideas, I never even thought about doing electro vibes with my rd 8, and also i didnt realize how awesome all those signal outs were, like how you used that cowbell out for the bass, genius
Dam that RD8 sounds good, very accurate Sound. Mine arrives on 3 days, the MK2
For those who may not know, do some searching for 90s Florida Breakbeats … love this vid
This is siiick. Teach me your ways Master.
