@@reecedeyoung6595 it could. But on their price range it couldnt. The idea of the drumbrute is simple. Brute...raw. naked. As for the rest you can Add a t resonator by jomox and ya good to go mate.

@@felipegarcia8400 Dude, come on. Thing is, the sounds on the Impact get boring very quickly. In my case it was a month or so. Either have more parameters per sound, or, or rather AND, have the opportunity also to use samples. That's why it's Pro cos both options.
life goals right here, well done I can play any instrument with a string proficiently, but man, these modern drum machines and recording programs feel so overwhelming to me when I sit down with them feels like taking a collegiate tech class for the first time, haha, just so much to it all
I used to play a lot of classical instruments, and this is definitely a whole new ball game. I view it more like constructing a musical algorithm to be interacted with, which I find to be a gratifying intersection of musicality and technology. It feels more like conducting to me, than playing. That being said, I think a lot of it is pretty overwhelming too haha
@@RickHowell that’s an awesome way of looking at it, I’m always coming at like playing an instrument but that’s not what it really is exactly I’ve played in rock bands for a living my whole life but I’m over guitar based music now…..would love to start a little electronic act, just my knowledge of the gear is holding me back at this point I’ll keep at it, and again, your video was very inspiring….thanks a bunch and good luck!
Last night I wachted the first video you mentioned and I ended until midnight playing around with my DBI. Thank you for your inspiration, tips and good taste in "hand-made electronic music".
Really surprised how versatile this little box is. But really amazing what you get out of it. I'm really impressed. You have definitely contributed positively to my purchase decision. Thank you for your content.
Crazy enough this is the only instrument! All the sounds are coming from the Drumbrute Impact. I posted a video like directly before this one where I talk about some theory in programming a techno track on the thing if you're interested in that too
Hey man believe me, trying to sync this with my daw and record midi is a nightmare. This was meant to be a low stress jam haha I did run the DBI through reverb delay and compression, but the sound source is only the DBI. I'm using the color kick setting and pairing it with low toms for the bass
What are the effects on FL, this is like the first time I am hearing the Drumbrute Impact sound so clean and loud? Like it's amazing how you manage to make it sound the way it does.
This is so sick!! Do you find you are more creative using this machine compared to programming drums into a DAW? I use a computer all day for work and it can be draining to stare at a screen to program elements. I'm looking into more hardware stuff to create tracks and inspiration.
Absolutely. That might be the only motivation to go into hardware at this point haha. There is a problem that many people with hardware find in that it can be a creative outlet to the point where people won't publish any music, because the process of recording definitely breaks the 'creative flow'.
Cool "one-box" project. Drum brute would be far cooler if it had a tunable bass voice and automation. At present you have to go to the analog ritm for something like that.
Of course I don't remember specifics but it mostly came down to a ton of compression from FL Studio's Maximus and heavy reverb from Valhalla Supermassive
Only hardware would be a little tough, but if you send a kick drum through a reverb / delay, low pass, and compressor, you can get the rumble. Run that in parallel to the original kick, and compress the hell out of both of them. That's what I did here, but in software.
Wooow amazing Sound and Track, Love IT. I also have the Drumbrute Impakt, but I can't get a fat sound like you. Could you please tell me what software you use for mastering and what hardware effects you added. I'm really desperate here XD. You definitely deserve a subscription. please keep it up. greeting Silent Synth
Yeah, there's a lot of effects going on in general. Here I'm using Valhalla Supermassive (a free plugin) to give some reverb and delay, and compressoring the hell out of everything. I use FL Studio, and it has an amazing multiband compressor called Maximus I use all the time, which lets me play with the stereo separation on the lows, mids, and highs too.
Thank you very much you just made my day XD. I should also have fl Studio somewhere. I have to try that right away. Thanks again for your quick reply :). greeting Silent Synth
Hi my friend, I just ordered the Drumbrute Impact after watching your videos on it. I'm just wondering how do you get the reverb to sound on the different tones on the unit apart from the kick drum? Are you routing the kick to a different output route?
I actually only have two channels on my ADC. One of the channels is the FM drum, and the other is the rest of the mix. I wanted to send the FM drum into a ping pong delay, which is why I split it like this. The rest of the mix is doing some weird multiband splits in my DAW so that I can process the lows, mids, and highs separately, but the source is still just the entire mix minus the FM drum
@@RickHowell Thanks mate, I received it a couple of days ago. I'm actually suprised by how good it is. I love the random feature, it breathes new life into beats. I have it hooked up to an original Roland MC 909 via 5 pin midi which are hooked up to an MC 707. All 3 are midi clock synced to an Arturia keystep Pro. I feel now that the DB impact has completed my drum rhythm parts, so easy to use, very quick to use, and that random knob function is nothing short of a God send. Excellent product for sure.
how do you record those fast rolls for the snare? i for the life of me cannot get it to work and am too lazy to decypher the manual. really nice jam btw
It's definitely something that doesn't get talked about so don't feel bad for asking! But I actually use an audio interface and connect the audio output from my drumbrute into that in order to get synths into FL. Because the interface only has two inputs, I can only record two separate tracks at a time, which is why there's two audio cables sticking out of the back
I only have two analog to digital inputs so I sent the FM Drum to its own channel, and the rest of the mix into the other, and both of them have their own delays
I don't specifically remember, but the FM drum is going through a basic ping pong delay and reverb, and the rest of the kit is running through Valhalla supermassive. I'm compressoring the hell out of everything too
Sounds delicious. I thought I did not like the sound of this device but now I realized I just did not like the sound of other performers using it!

Drumbrute was my first drum machine I learned everything on that...
Drumbrutes are the most underated drum machines ever made. I run my original thru a sherman and a pitch delay and kills any other drum machine i have even the jomox alpha
True, but still u needed a sherman for that.. :D
@@Turbo_TechnoLogic i still need a sherman with my jomox and rytm brother. Everything needs a sherman except my mpc5000 thats a sherman on its own
@@Übereine Everyone needs a Sherman
No velocity is a big let down and weak midi in general. I get they want it to be a performance tool, but it could have made so much more versatile.

Damn dude. You’ve kind of mastered this drum machine.
One of the best form and layout for a drum synth. I just wish a Pro version where we could also use samples
Pro with samples? being pro is doing it without samples

WTF I think I have to like this very much.
Crazy one-machine composition!
Brilliant, mate! Exceptionally well produced 👌
that was soo awesome, my poor little guy has been up in my closet and I just brought him out, and inspired to learn him
Like the changes, felt really flowing. Just bought it and i will go this direction as its not to jumpy and you can get into it.
This has got it.
that was just plain amazing
Good work
Yeah man
Very good jam 👍
Thanks from France ❤

Amazing stuff 🔥
Hell yeah
Nice! Very inspiring!Thanks, please go on.
This should makes me wanna dance
This reminds me of a track from about 1992. Cannot remember any details but it may have been on R&S
It does sound like good tool for Ambient Techno subgenre.
re-watching.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very good job
❤❤❤❤
Jeff Mills style on DBI.
a jam like every techno lover wants to see and hear The big question is how was that delay made possible?

I was just using Valhalla Supermassive for the delay / reverb on everything
could you kindly provide us with the steps for the various instruments you set up for this performance? thanks
Crazy enough this is the only instrument! All the sounds are coming from the Drumbrute Impact.
I posted a video like directly before this one where I talk about some theory in programming a techno track on the thing if you're interested in that too
.... and all this from a 1 bar pattern ... ;)
Nice one... ⭐⭐⭐
this rules
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏Oeeeee!!!
I mean, these sounds can't be solely coming out of the brute. I just spent the past 30 minutes trying to figure out the sound of the kick.
Hey man believe me, trying to sync this with my daw and record midi is a nightmare. This was meant to be a low stress jam haha
I did run the DBI through reverb delay and compression, but the sound source is only the DBI. I'm using the color kick setting and pairing it with low toms for the bass
@@RickHowell Phenomenal to say the least.

very nice track! it reminded me of Industrial Garbage Beats... those where the days ;) (edit: Garden of Linmiri)

What are the effects on FL, this is like the first time I am hearing the Drumbrute Impact sound so clean and loud? Like it's amazing how you manage to make it sound the way it does.
Here it's just some heavy multiband compression to be honest. Maximus is putting in a lot of work

Hello man! Awesome video! What effect chain did you put on the drums here? Thanks :)
Of course I don't remember specifics but it mostly came down to a ton of compression from FL Studio's Maximus and heavy reverb from Valhalla Supermassive
Techno Banger. Whats the delay / reverb on the drum machine? It mixes really well. Also any EQ or mastering on this?
Definitely a hefty amount of post processing in general. I'm using the Valhalla Supermassive here
четко!!! рубит!!!
how do you make the rumble kick?
Valhalla supermassive and very heavy compression with FL Studio's maximus
How would you go about to achieve this kick sound using only hardware?
Only hardware would be a little tough, but if you send a kick drum through a reverb / delay, low pass, and compressor, you can get the rumble. Run that in parallel to the original kick, and compress the hell out of both of them. That's what I did here, but in software.

rick, muy buena tu reseña. te pregunto, con una roland mc 505 groovebox puedo hacer estas cosas ??
No tengo una mc 505, pero puedes con efectos de audio: el compresor, la reverb, etc.
How are you getting the ratchets on the snare starting around the 03:00 mark?
If you hold down a step (on the 16th note pad), you can then use the step repeat slider to enter rachets per step
@@RickHowell mind blown! How did I not know this.
@@ZacharyRizer Haha, there's always some cool new tech to learn with these synths
This is the best jam on this machine solo I’ve heard what filters or pedals you using
Thanks! And I'm just using a stock fl studio compressor and reverb. No pedal effects yet
@@RickHowell but the effects affect global channel right? I mean all output. Ty
@@nmcpcj I'm sending the FM Drum to its own channel, and all the other channels are combined.
@@RickHowell but where does it connect, a mixer? Audio interface? Thanks 🙏
So sick, how are you using the individual outs?
The only individual out I'm using here is the FM Drum. Everything else is just sent to the main out
Hi my friend, I just ordered the Drumbrute Impact after watching your videos on it.

голова у этих рук работает в нужном направлении
Great set, I just wish the kick had more. Just more! It just seemed a little flat compared to the rest. Not snappy or heavy. Just not enough!
how do you record those fast rolls for the snare? i for the life of me cannot get it to work and am too lazy to decypher the manual. really nice jam btw
You just hold down the step on the 16 step bar, and use the roll section to select the ratcheting quantization while the step is selected
Super newbie question, but how did you set it up to add effects through FL? USB into a computer? And separating the different instruments or no?
It's definitely something that doesn't get talked about so don't feel bad for asking! But I actually use an audio interface and connect the audio output from my drumbrute into that in order to get synths into FL. Because the interface only has two inputs, I can only record two separate tracks at a time, which is why there's two audio cables sticking out of the back
Love this, did you send outputs to different channels and apply delay?
I only have two analog to digital inputs so I sent the FM Drum to its own channel, and the rest of the mix into the other, and both of them have their own delays
мочит в тему!!!
BRO
турбо!!!
This is excellent. Apart from the Impact, what else were you using?
Thanks man, and literally just some effects from FL Studio were accompanying this
I see you're only using 2 outputs. Can you remember what fx did you use for both?
This video could be the official advertising of the machine
I don't specifically remember, but the FM drum is going through a basic ping pong delay and reverb, and the rest of the kit is running through Valhalla supermassive. I'm compressoring the hell out of everything too
