Man, really setting the “bar” high on Octatrack workflow and capabilities…awesome work ❤️🔥

I"m saving this for later, I've been trying to work out how to DJ on the OT without BPM constraints for YEARS. I like speeding up the set Ala Aphex Twin as it goes on and I';m getting back into music. Perfect! Thank you so much, really need to get some lessons off you some time!

The knowledge you throw out in such high frequency is beyond amazing. 3:30 this blows my mind, and this is exactly what I love about making music without a computer: dealing with the restrictions we face because certain things just can't be done …until you find a clever workaround to make it work anyway. Thanks, Matthew. Can't wait to buy the new template, once it's ready for release. 😎 …and 8:05, the sound is fkn dope. Exactly my thing. The world (and I, hehe) needs more recordings of your performances!

I use something like this with my set. I usually stick with 4 bars because it’s less confusing but I love to fade in the new with the cross fade and fading the other out with the track volume. I don’t like to do it with the cross fader because I like to just have the scenes for fx because I get confused or want to stack an effect with my transition. This is my favorite thing though. I always liked DJ sets and transitions are basically what really makes a DJ in my mind.

Love the template, but I've found that transitioning with this trick in the manner that I mix techno (i.e long drawn-out transitions) sounds less than stellar because both tracks' volume drops too much at the center point of the X-fader. As in, the overall volume curve of the mix sounds like a fade-out to fade-in >< when the volume level of the mix should remain consistent with the level of each individual track playing solo... If that makes sense 😄

Cool stuff as always Matt! I’m not in front of my studio to try this but my main question regarding all this, don’t you want the 2 tracks as you transition to match the bpm to have a smooth transitions? Having the 2 tempos colliding is never a desired effect. The 8 bar loop, awesome definitely makes more interesting loops.
@EZBOT_
Жыл бұрын
Yes and this how is you do that :) you just need to match your BPM. THe point of this is to show how you can do create a looper that is independent of the project. So you have the option to do anything.

Hey Matt, you say that the only way possible to record more than 4 bar loop on the Octatrack is by pressing REC button twice. Why not make a pattern for that track half the speed, it will then give you 8 bars and you can only use REC triggers to do the job? Am I missing something here?
@Deathgazeroo

Do you think that it's possible to automate starting recording via YES (arming) and stopping recording via REC3? I want to compose whole set so it will just play by itself using song mode, and I am looking for a setting that will allow me to set start recording and stop recording trigs on the final pattern of the bank (I am using one bank as one song/track approach)

how much extra work is this to do on a OT MK1, seems like it's the same steps? It's been a while for me, is it worth upgrading to the mk2?

I think that double tapping the Rec3 button would be the only change for a mk1. I’m not sure what the combo is though. I’m renting a mk2 but have my eyes on a mk1 at a good price (like half that of the mk2 :)

When I DJ I also EQ both channels to allow them to play at the same time without clashing. I have tried this with the Octatrack as well but had some issues with the fader not having an assignable fader curve. Have you thought about adding EQ to the template, even though it would require an external controller?

The recording step length doesn't take into account track division. So you can only record 4 bars with RLEN.
