Thank you for the tutorial! Very helpful in adding the tweaks to change up your drum track. Accents are crucial, color is spicy. I have to work on random, swing and other techniques to humanize my beats.
Thanks for that instructional video. I really dig your BD Sounds here. (Should have bought the Impact instead of the generic Drumbrute. Oh well. :-)) Still I do have my qualms about the hat sounds, especially the OHs of the Brutes. You certainly make it work though. The claps, bells, snares do have a lot of potential for their special kind of dirt.
Im given to understand that these drummbrute impacts are actually made from one giant rice cake and inside it is filled with little brown pellets stolen from a farmers duck.
@bidybidybu I'm pretty sure the only thing you can control are the drum triggers, but you'd have to modify the parameters in real time. Also, FL Studio is a little buggy with getting midi devices to work together so I've had to write my own midi script to get FL to trigger the drums on this thing. I don't think other DAWs have this problem
Recording hardware is really finnicky, so I usually just start with fresh compression settings every time. That being said, I do have a general workflow of using a multiband RMS compressor (usually with a pretty high ratio), and send that into a final peak compressor with lighter settings to level everything to zero dB
Thanks! While I don't have the keystep pro, I do have the regular keystep, and that one has a clock in / out that you can patch to the DBI using a 3.5mm cable
Having the "exact" same setup as you by coincidence (DBI, MB2S, Neutron and s few other EuroRack stuff) I really like to see what you can get out of it (you've played with the setup for longer than I). Could you make similar vids featuring the MB2S and the Neutron?
@@RickHowell Added in your DAW? Can you split the tracks and effect them separately when going in via USB? Love this video BTW. Straight into some really good content, no messing around, no lame chatter. Please do some more!
@@still_not_batman9170 For me, I only have two audio inputs on my audio to digital converter. I'm using one to record my voice, and the other to record the DBI. Therefor, there's no way I could split the tracks separately. In the Drumbrute techno video I made a few weeks ago, I split off the FM Drum from the rest of the mix if you want an example of that. If I had more inputs available I would love to be able to process each channel individually.
Awesome loop man! In my opinion analog drums need mostly in techno. Commercial EDM producers use vst and samples. If you're making a drum machine, think about techno producers and techno musicians right away!
Great job! This is very helpful.
Drumbrute so easy to play, love it
Definitely getting mine out of storage after this. Amazing work!

This is awesome man im just perusing drumbrute vids and stumbled across your channel...glad i did its nice...
Amazing video!! So inspirational, jamming with my DB impact this afternoon ❤
that's wicked man! great tutorial!
Inspiring!
You definitely make this thing sound filthy. It doesn't always sound that great but in this context it slaps
Groovy! Thanks for sharing these tricks.
Awesome tutorial... thanks 🙏
Wicked, thanks for that. The ratchetting trick is a game changer for me. Biggup
Love the syncopation
the breakdown trick is siiiick
Beautiful work❤
Please do more of these explaining vids 👍🏻👍🏻
For sure!
That was amazing 💪
This helped me get started quickly with the DBI. Thanks!
That was killer 👍🏼
Kool man!
Awesome + easy to follow tysm!!
This video is so cool bro
Loving your creativity ❤😎
I just re-bought one as I totally regretted selling it!! 😊
After buying the Korg drumlogue, which is sick and has much more capability, the FUN and user friendliness of the Drumbrute, I had to have one!!

Really cool and helpful! Thanks, mate.
Would be cool if you consider doing something similar to neutron
It's definitely on the agenda, I'll get around to it one of these days haha
nice

Yeah, now that you've put it that way, i guess it does make sense 🤔
Thats why its sooo heavy... 🤔
top!!!
is it possible to control the drumbrute impact from a midi track in the DAW?
@bidybidybu I'm pretty sure the only thing you can control are the drum triggers, but you'd have to modify the parameters in real time. Also, FL Studio is a little buggy with getting midi devices to work together so I've had to write my own midi script to get FL to trigger the drums on this thing.

Great job making this sound inspiring. Lot of demos on yt make this machine sound uninteresting.
That bong reminds me of dancing in Vegas 95
What was your comp ratio ? do you have a go-to default setting ? like 4:1 , 10ms attack, etc ?
PS ... sick pattern! Perfect use of the FM

genial
That reverb on the kit is perfect to set the mood. What processing is on the master in your DAW?
I always run my material through Maximus in FL Studio. It's a great multiband mangler
Which reverb pedal did you use?
@@Suboclause I wasn't using a pedal herel, I'm pretty sure it was either the stock FL Studio reverb or Valhalla Supermassive. Nothing crazy
Submarin song
🤘
Super cool! Help me a lot to use the Drumbrute! Somebody here could help me to connect it to the Keystep Pro? Please 🙏
Thanks!

I'll definitely talk more eurorack stuff in the future!
You really took the intimidation out of this but are those sounds already in the machine if I buy one?
Yep! The Drumbrute has an analog drum engine. No sampling or anything.
Are you adding reverb and compression to get these sounds? Pretty sure this isn't coming straight from the DBI, right?
Yep! The only sound source is the DBI, but I think reverb and compression are important ingredients to making techno so I included them
