I wish more electronic artists would dig into technical details like this while they work through a track, I always learn so much. Thanks you for this! I also love you passion amd enthusiasm, rock on dude!
@@boseyjoe I’m currently trying to figure that out lol. I have a digitakt, digitone 2, and syntakt going into a mixer. A desktop hydrasynth (that I might replace with a Roland S1 because space) going into the mixer. A mic to pick up my voice or any samples into the mixer. Then the cue out of the mixer goes into an Octatrack. I use the octatrack for mangling the audio live for effects and resampling. For this to work well the octatrack has to be the master clock. The octatrack goes back into the mixer for the main out. I record it all into a Zoom H6. What I’m still working out is the audio routing. There’s multiple ways I can do it. I use the digitone 2 to control midi on the hydra. Does any of this make sense lol
@ oh totally! That’s a sweet setup! And yeah the octatrack does not want to be anything but the master clock lol but routing audio through it on the mixer aux is super cool and flexible. I hear you on the audio routing conundrum. As you can see in this video I ditched the mixer (which you could do with your setup) because it streamlined things (physically and workflow) for live settings. But if the setup stays on the desktop then keeping the mixer adds some nice options, especially that aux send to the Octatrack!
@@evenstephen8288 could be a fun experiment to ditch the mixer and use the digitakt and digitone ins and just send everything through the octatrack as it’s a powerful mixer in its own right
@@boseyjoe originally I didn’t have the mixer. I added it mainly for the mic. I’m dumb when it comes to mics and the mic I have is xlr and needs phantom power. I think the easy solution would be to get a cheap mic that uses a 1/4” jack and plug it into one of the machines. I could plug it into the digitakt, send that into the octatrack A/B. Send the hydra or S1 into the digitone, that into the syntakt, that into C/D of the octatrack. Then the octatrack goes straight into the recorder. Hmmm
@@keromblum glad to hear it! My goal with this setup is to get as much as I can out of it without adding any more components. Hard to resist sometimes tho!
@@AlanLaMielle absolutely! I can do another video, but what you’re hearing here is direct from the setup-no processing in the daw. Part of the goal here was to send a “mastered” sound to the house / whatever live mix situation. This recording is the stereo pair out from the kaoss pad, into my antelope Orion DAC and then into Ableton. As mentioned, I did no post processing on this so you could hear the raw sound from the rig, which is meant to be as polished as possible. This would be a good video topic-I’ll do it!
@@boseyjoe not much yet, I started with midi controllers (oxi one, a fader fox uc4, and a few keyboards) plus an iPad but didn't find it very inspiring. Now I've been building up a eurorack system from scratch but haven't made it too far. But my vision is to have next to nothing outside the case so your dawless approach is pretty in line with what I'm building towards.
@ nice dude! It does take time to build. I’ve got a eurorack setup but use it differently from this one. Digitakt and digitone have a bit of a learning curve for those Elektron sequencers but once you learn them they are so deep and super capable. And the mk 1 versions are pretty cheap right now 😉 Let me know how your build goes! For playing live and mixing down to two tracks i think the more knobs the better 😁
are you wondering how the MIDI gets routed to the effects? The master MIDI clock comes from the Digitone, and is routed through each box... I can talk about it a bit more in depth in another video, but basically each device passes the clock to the next device.
@@ronny332 thanks for making it that far! Yeah that didn't go according to plan... live music is like that. I think there was a clocking issue with the Kaoss pad because it was just not syncing how I expected! I agree that part missed the mark. Next time I'll redo it to better illustrate the point.

Nice setup! I love learning how different artists use gear and construct dawless setups.
@@evenstephen8288 me too-there are just endless possibilities! What’s your setup like?

Great overview, definitely got some ideas. Thanks!

sick. thanks
so much stuff in a small space, unlike me
@@MrFabiusynth what are we talking, so much stuff large space?
Can you talk more about your recording setup? What do your send the kaos pad into to record? Any mixing/mastering tools you use?

@@boseyjoe awesome that's helpful to know. This is the approach I'm looking to take as well. Thanks for the follow-up!

WP! How do you made the midi chain in the effects?

@@boseyjoe yes like does the delay gets a clock?
this sucks
the part from about 11:00 is VERY bad. feels like he has absolutely no feeling for what sound he's searching at that point.
