My Smallest Dawless Setup // Live Performance workflow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Recently did a live set for Meris on their Instagram (@meris.US) And it was a suuuuper simple setup.. i think.. So it revolved heavily around the Octatrack MKII of course, but i played a ton of music i wrote on the MPC 1000 and MPC 4000

True ninja skills revealed here. TY Ricky for your glorious performance. Love your vibe. (Note: We'll post a compilation from our live performances via YT soon.)
What did he do? 😆🤪🤔
Just listened to 5 days of work on Spotify Decent track. odd choice to make a high hat the center of the mix very dis- distracting and way too loud
Breadkrumz sounded like a bunch loopy ish worked on but no finished tracks. Just sayin
Ricky: 2500 dollars on "simple gear"
me: cries in volca keys
Awesome stuff as always man.
Volca is awesome man haha
I feel you man!
cries in mc303
The volca keys is still a great deal but I wish they refreshed the line with some qol features.
that is cheap compared to what I've seen guys spend on modular eurorack gear. Now that can get super expensive fast!
I have no idea what you're explaining here but entertained nevertheless.
The only synth/sample guy I try to watch every video of!
Keep it up man
Aye Ricky..... you got that shit👏🏾👏🏾. That shit just look complicated. I’ve owned the 1000 years ago and thank God for
iPads for similar results.
pure talent workflow
I can't stop watching this. So good!
Talent! Only thing I've seen that has me considering the Octatrack again.
It’s worth every penny.
Been making tracks on mpc1000 all day... Have a break, see a Ricky Tinez RUclips notification and what you know you rocking those beats too. Keep it fresh bro 🙃🙂
That jazzy bass house track you bring in is my fave by you man!!! Need a copy of that for my live DJ shows!!! Absolutely slamming brother!! X
Rick, love what you do! You're a magician!
Super creative!
Meris will be the first pedal company to really realise that the synth industry is wide open for pedal/effects makers in the hardware realms.
Always fun when you show off the OT
This looks like so much fun I’d love to get j to this but wouldn’t know where to start.
I have somewhat of an intuitive sense of what your saying but I'm going to need to watch this another 3 times to really understand how next level this is . . .
Some really cool tricks here! Dope dude!
Ohhhh Bad Bad News by Leon Bridges
I caught that sample
wow, that's one of the most elegant workflows I've seen yet.
Great video! I just got an Octatrack MKII after seeing all the amazing things it can do with the rest of my gear. Definitely a steeper learning curve than my other stuff (OP-1, OP-Z, 0-Coast), but once I get things in order I think it'll be a lot of fun to jam!
Fantastic showcase of the OT. I love my Digitakt a ton, and just haven’t really understood aside from time stretching what the OT has to offer for the higher price tag, but this really demonstrates the value.
hell yeah
Got to let that sink in (to my brain) for a bit!! wow bro!!! Great vid!! :)
Ricky would you please do a step by step in depth video on sampling workflow with the Octatrack?.. No one with your temperament or MPC back ground has done one, just a bunch of videos where people have already done the sample work and set the tracks up... could you please do one showing the sampling and setting up the tracks and the sequencing/ adding Fx etc.. basically an MPC video but with the octatrack instead, I would greatly appreciate this!
I'd love to check out your live gig. you ever come to Toronto?
crazy.
Ghost of jdilla
great! makes me wanna bring out my MPC1000 and hook it up to the OT. Never quite could work out a way to make those two work together in a meaningful way, this is inspiring.
This is probably the first time the octatrack is made sense to me. I've never really seen it use this way and now that I've seen it I've got to do it.
you can use ableton and a zero slmkii if you just want the mixer ;) cheaper
Round trip latency is too much for inserts using that method. Plus the less I have to deal with my computer (other than recording) the better... and I already have an Octatrack that I've just been too intimidated by until I saw this video.
I just sold my MPC1000 last week and am already regretting it. I have other MPC's, but the 1000 is so small and portable.
Very nice Ricky! I got my MPC1000 back in action this year (replaced all the tack switches on there - and the pads) absolutely loving it for playing and jamming with my synths. Just started recording a few bits with it recently - endless fun! Respect dude
Eye! Dope vid - as always.
Could you tell us something about your gain stages?
Input gain, amp vol, track vol, master vol...?
I‘m doing this exact thing with a force (at 12‘ master vol), turned down the input gain on the ot a bit but my main outs a really low. I’ve seen yours was at -24
Ricky, I have no idea what you are talking about half the time, but it sounds great ;)
Said it before, and I'll say it again: my fav part of the OT is seeing how others use it. I don't use it nothing like Ricky, except sometimes for pickup machines used to record inputs/tracks, sometimes recording track 8 master. It's a brilliant machine, as is this demo/walkthrough.
Looking for a tut on beginner basic Octa. The way you explain it makes sense.
"Super simple" LOL : D !!!
I know I would be so frustrated if I had an Octatrack...
Way over my head as usual but this was really fascinating nonetheless. To hear you live would be really really great but to see how you work, what is live vs planed and premade, the speed, your workflow and how it is apparent that you have practised for years and clearly know what you are doing. No questioning or hesitation or doubt, man this is just awesome. Even how you use the otobit, so nice and with such an ease makes me just like: "WTF?"
Super simply Marvelous : )
What if you use instead of the mpc and octatrack, the akai force with a modular case,which has an es8 in it, and some external fx?
"Thats all you gotta do! Learn a ton of stuff". Epic
Great
god damn why do you make everything look sooo easy. fantastic work always spot on an your enthusiasm is endless
I do love Rick's videos, but I don't understand anything at all.
(Keyboard player. Not used to these hardware workflows)
Greetings from Brazil!
awesome information Ricky, thanks so much. :)
Hi Rick.
Why are you using the MPC ? Can't you do it all with the Octa?
It's a sneaky one but it makes me feel that most of people are using the Octa as a mixer but not as a live sampler.
Does the recording+flex engine using is too complicated to be done in such a fluid way ?
I'm making my sampling on Live today but feel i would love to do it on HW. Every time, the octa seems to be the one i should take but then i don't find so many people really sampling with it. Mostly people filling it with prepared samples but not doing it on the fly. Sounds like it's too complicated
Cheers & thx for this vid.
This entire video is so big brained I can't even. I'm over here with my violin having an existential crisis unable to decide if I want 1500ms or 1600ms on my delay pedal. 10:11 was ridiculous.
I use a web page listing BPMs and relative milliseconds for 1/4, 1/2, etc delay settings. I'll link below after this comment.

Man I caught myself dancing !
Thank you so much for this vid 🙏🏻, I had fun watching it, it was super clear ! And I learn a lot about the OT, its purpose was not that clear in my head before but now i really believe that it's a true weapon for live shows !
Hi, If i understand well your mpc is the master clock ?
I was experiencing latency in my loop recording, was wondering if it was better to have the OT as master synch
Great video, so inspiring! I have the Ottobit myself, just wondering if there is any reason you don't go directly through it and use the bypass switch to turn it on/off?
Man, your new EP is kind of "Mateo and matos" style. This is hard to reach !
Awesome stuff brotha, very saucy
That love and hate relationship with the cow bell...
You lost me after the ghost at the beginning. 👻
Isnt your minimal setup is Octatrack + Circuit + bass synth?
And after a videos about Octatrack vs MPC i a bit confused to see them alongside, as they do practically same thing according to your videos.
I would love to see how a boom bap track would sound from you
Ага малюсенький сэтап, в рашке на один прибор как на машину копить...год,полтора, два года...
Truly mastered those boxes there bro
great video, but I'm not seeing a link the set itself. link?
pretty nice skills bless from Guatemala
So music hasn't changed in two decades. Thought so
That ghost liked the groove so much he just had to play it
Which OS is running on that MPC?
I can imagine me live on this setup and taking a puff on a flying joint... and messing wrong with what is what.
this is the first thing that's ever made me want an elektron
Friend, I saw a video of 2017 of yours, how to configure a novation key 25 in the new logic pro x in its most recent update, please help.
Teenage engineering: hold my cow.
Do you do barmitzvahs?
pls make a sample pack
OT
You had a Breakthru bubbles.
Nice, you could probably do most of what the Ottobit is doing using the Octatrack with a combination of track recorder and freeze delay, if you wanted it even more streamlined.
Great video
is it normal if I want a MPC 1000 too now ?
Man, I'm convinced and just bought me mpc 1000, as a center of the dawless setup. Thanks
Thanks exactly what I'm doing, I'm just waiting for my mpc 1000 to arrive, gotta say, Ricky was the main reason for my interrest in samplers and dawless setups and the reason for the passion I gain in the old schools mpcs
Why did you choose an mpc1000 over an mpc one?
Dope! Love my Elektron gear. I use my Elektron Analog 4 to sequence and layer FX for modular gear and Octrack to sample it and serve as master hub via MIDI to CV. Perfect combo plus I save valuable modular case space and cash on fancy sequencer modules.
Hey Ricky!
Thank you so much for all your interesting videos!
You're doing great! Especially this video makes me ask, if you could make a video that focuses on the octatracks scenes.
I intend to do something similar using the octa as Summing mixer/ FX machine. Maybe you can share some scene Ideas that work well for you. (Which FX, which params, how to combine them? live slicing? and so on) Thank you !
Love from Germany

Aaaaah dude you dared sampling Chet Baker
hell ricky, I just sold my whole aria set up, 10k of equipment, it got too much trying to program so many sequencers, so I have invested back into what I know, ableton live, this time I have a 1x1 setup, with 2 ableton systems linked for sync, and a dj mixer between them, each side has a midimix, and a clip launcher, I get upto 16 channels each side, and allows a dj style flow, and the ability to plf whats not playing out on the master, I also have a 8 inch tablet running zen beats and gstomper producer, the tablet is midi capable as well, and all that goes into a 6 channel desk that records straight to mp3, iv cased it all in one box, and it takes seconds to open, and plug in, and I did it all for less than a grand, including the stands, cables etc, there is still a strong argument for the simplicity of a decent midi controller/laptop setup, especially playing live, and in my experience, the less you have, the better you will sound, I no longer sweat at the thought of playing live, and having to cart near 20 machines and all the associated crap along with it, also, we have to take into consideration the audience, who wants to watch someone head bowed sweating over a set, I wanna see some fun and dancing going on, same with the crowd, simplifying allows you to engage more.
nice comment your setups both sound great. but....the part about wanting to see somebody dance.. I definitely don't want to pay to see a dj dance, I could stay home and watch re-runs of fame for that... I want to see somebody involved in making the music. I could stay home and put on a track and look corny dancing by myself if that is what I wanted .... and for free.... I think performers should be making things look more complicated up there, playing every instrument they can else they could just play a cd or an instant replay machine, happy mediums are great on paper but in real life go all in one way or the other.
Derek Johnstone Fraser That might be the longest sentence I've seen in a while
Can you make the video in english please ?? Ahah, great vid, thanks !
Amazing skills !
Simple but powerful
dude, you have to release this bad news remix. pleeeease
Why! 😆
… And now I own both a Mercury7 and Ottobit jr. for my live setup! And I’m stoked about it.
Once again thanks for sharing workflow. Really inspiring. Although, I must admit that doing scenes on the fly on the octatrack seems to be daunting! But yet again you know your machines better than I know myself. I will catch up one day ;-)
love you man. thx
Psh if I'm buying any gear, its between this and an AKAI Force because i'm coming out of Ableton.. however I need to consider something like an MPC quite frankly..
New to electronic music production and recently discovered the channel which I love by the way - the music's awesome, the vibes are super cool, and the explanations so accessible. The sounds you're sending in with the MPC into the Octatrack, is that something you could do with a combination of drum machines and synthesizers? Obviously that complicates the setup but would that allow you to do fundamentally the same thing? Record a few sequences live on the fly? Do some DJ'ing, add fx etc, and while that marinates in the ears of the listeners, create some more sequences live, fade into the new sequences, rinse and repeat?
Tight indeed
Damn that DJ fade was tight
Yeah buddy! Is the studder effect from the ottobit, or did you do that with octatrack?
Super simple, lol my dude, maybe if your name is Cenk. :P
This video is pure love man , thanks. Is actually very mind blowing what you can do with two powerful samplers that fab house long samples like that ......
I've applied your same workflow to my 2500 just that I got a traktor z2 mixer and I'm thinking on adding another 2500 to mix between one and another. 👌🏼🥴💕💕💕💕💕
love it :)
I'm working on a modular design that will let me A, A+B, B, B+C, C...like normal DJ setup as well as have PFL and never stop the beats!
Hey Ricky, I love your videos. I know this is off topic, but I'm wondering how I could setup Logic Pro X to use my Digitakt stereo in each channel. I have overbridge. If you have any advice/templates I would appreciate it.
Such a rippin set up
Hoping to limp an Elektron M:S and a Korg Minilogue into something I can use live. Feeling that may not be enough though after watching this...
I fucking love Elektron! 😊 I understand the things people have trouble with, but once you learn their language you can do anything
This video is dope. Best ever you made. I have no machine you talk about, but from now I'm really interest for the Octatrack.
I don't use a daw per say I use a mixing website for podcast almost like if audacity was a website and I think I am gonna save money to get an actual laptop and a semi daw/raw sound set up. THANK YOU MAN.
Im new to DAWless jamming and one thing ive noticed is im struggling to keep things interesting and building up and drops the way i normally would in ableton. Am i just missing the point to jamming? Or is there ways to break feee from this?
Super awesome. I'm gonna try to replicate a setup like this. Looks so much fun! "Performance mixer" is a brilliant way of putting it. I'd love for more products like this to be in the market.
I got the main out and cue out routed to an ecler nuo 2.0, and I do DJ-Bone style flops, plus thos EQ's are so sweat. This setup is the tits too! With the octatrack, routing is half the battle
Do you have any tips on transporting your gear without buying the expensive cases?
thick underwear and a towel
@@RickyTinez bungee cords are a nice way to keep the towels from unraveling
Harbor freight dude. They have these “pelican”-rip-off cases that are 100% as good as the real thing. Can’t remember what they call their version but they are sized by “hd2000-HD2500...etc..” but they are full of the pick apart foam and I pd $34.99 for one that is perfect size for AR mk1 or any other electron box in that original size range ... their biggest HD5000 fits my MPC live or even my Force and I think it costs 59.99 when not on sale 😎😘😜 my best kept secret
