It’s interesting that the digitekt is 48k sample rate, that is usually used for video. Do you keep your ableton project at 48k and convert to 44.1k at export? I guess nobody actually makes CDs anymore so it doesn’t matter and you can keep the mp3s or whatever export format at 48k. Edit: also ignore the people saying to turn it up for exporting the tracks, you WANT IT lower than 0db peaks when tracking for mastering so you don’t get any clipping. It’s also good that it gives you the dry tracks without reverb, this gives you way more control for mastering/remixing. This is the whole point of effect sends.

But play it live and perform on the Octatrack in the middle. That's what I think of it. One of the main use cases.

DT is a modern hi-end sampler that offers a lot. It is really easy to start with and learn about sampling. You can even plug your guitar amp output to it, if you wish. OT will be too much overwhelming. It doesn't have audio over USB, nor the Overbridge, which complicates the recording for you. Also there is quite a steep learning curve to it. Thanks for watching!

Hey Rons! I thought exactly the same, but it is tricky. Actually recording effects per track is impossible, since those are "send effects". There is a possibility to record just effects track by the way. But when it comes to an LFO recording - Overbridge records sound which can be affected by LFO with a few exclusions, like panning. And this is also understandable limitation, because tracks in the Digitakt are mono. But if you throw LFO or Param Locks to affect Overdrive or Sample Start position, these will be recorded. Thanks for kicking in Rons! I appreciate that! ✌️

I think not having the sync to the app is a good thing since we are just relying on the internal clock of the machine, which is ideal, imo. For part 2, but for that I would sync the Digitone to the Digitakt via DIN MIDI cable.

Thanks for the great content! I tried out this feature - recording directly using the digitakt app. In my case, I have a digitakt controlling my digitone as well as a hardware syth. So I ended up using both the digitone and digitakt apps and routed the output of the synth to the digitakt. After recording I lined up the digitone and digitakt tracks because there is no way to start recording at the same time. Once I did that the audio was in sync. However, the audio that sounds in sync is only in sync with each other. By setting the tempo in ableton, I saw that the ableton tempo did not match up with the tempo of the recording. The recording sounds in sync but because of the setup it is never truly in sync with a global bpm. This makes it difficult if you want to add time-based effects or edit a specific section, because it does not line up with the ableton grid. So I then ended up trying both the digitakt and digitone vst. plugins. I was able to record a live performance (tweak parameters, mute tracks, etc) and everything lined up to the ableton grid. So I guess in conclusion, if you are using just the digitakt, then I think your method should work, but if you are using multible overbridge devices, then maybe try using the vst plugin

I'm getting a digitakt soon and have been watching basically every video on overbridge that I can find and your workflow for recreating the effects sends in the DAW got me thinking about a second possible solution. Overbridge allows you to record all of the parameter knob movements from the digitakt as midi (Dave mech's overbridge/Ableton video shows how to configure this). Instead of multitrack recording directly with overbridge standalone, configure your DAW to record the audio directly via the overbridge VST. Then, If you tell the overbridge plugin to record the delay and reverb parameter values as midi while you record/perform, you should be able to simply copy this midi info as automation to the DAW send effects. In this way you get your exact performance recorded and substitute the DAW sends for the digitakt sends. If you want to rearrange elements in the song, you no longer have to worry about the pre-baked recorded effects not matching the modified audio arrangement. So you get a true hybrid setup.

IIRC in the Digitakt (also Syntakt and Digitone) there's a way to configure the audio routing in Settings so that the Main Output track recorded into Overbridge are the effects returns ONLY. That means that in the Main Output track via Overbridge, you aren't recording the source tracks that are sending to delay/reverb + chorus on Digitone... you are only recording the return signal from those effects. So essentially the Main Output track recorded in Overbridge becomes an effects return track that preserves any p-locked effects etc you've included in the track. No need then to replicate the effects from scratch in Ableton Live.

First of all loudness is relative. Especially in the digital world. I don't know how would I lose on quality if DT records every track more quietly. Especially considering the fact that there is one and only DA in use, the one in the Digitakt itself. And we are talking about just 15dB. Noise floor? I've never noticed it in the Digitakt. Not on master, neither on any of the tracks while multitracking. But the thing is that technically there is nothing in it that can create any noticeable noise. So technically it is even better to use Overbridge to have less noise, because it removes any analog audio processing from the chain. Another thing here is that Overbridge by design records all the tracks with -12dB of headroom. Which is useful and safe for future mixing and processing.

Thanks for the tutorial! Did you you choose the Digitakt as an interface or did you used another interface for the recording? And is there a way to record all the channels of the digitakt separately and maintain the delay / reverb effects from the digitakt? thanks for your help!

Hey! Glad it was helpful! I have't used the Digitakt as an interface, neither I used any other interface. This is the whole point actually. With Overbridge app you record the whole thing multitrack and without worrying about any interface. Like I mentioned at 23:42 There is a way to maintain delay and reverb. You have to route all 8 tracks out of master track in the Digitakt settings. In that way the master track will record only effects. And you will remain able to record all the 8 tracks separately.

to my ears the version you recorded (straight from digitakt) sounds better, the ableton effects aren't as nice as the digi but I guess Ableton is nice for arranging etc

Fair point! The idea here is mostly about taking the track into Ableton to work on it further.

Игорь, спасибо! Изначально брал Digitakt в качестве звуковой карты. К наушникам хорошим. И синтезатору Nord Wave. А с появлением OverBridge и семплированием вообще сказка. Единственное что расстраивает - отсутствие миди арпеджиатора и медленное переключение пресетов на норде.

В новом обновлении ос в Digitakt добавили scales и keyboard fold. Очень удобно! Надеюсь это работает на MIDI в том числе. Еще не проверял :) Но да, по прежнему нет арпеджиатора!

Hey, nice video! Can you connect your DT-770s directly into the Digitakt? Or do you need a audio Interface?

You can connect directly. The Digi has a dedicated headphone input.

I think I mentioned this in the video, but sometimes Ableton can be a distraction. Recording in the app is much faster and easier to start. But all that is very personal.

Ive had my Digitakt for an embarrassing amount of time without truly understanding what overbeidge does. We recorded an entire album witbout knowing you can separate stems so easily! I bought Ableton today and finally utilized overbridge the way god intended. HUGE shout-out to you! This was an amazing video and beyond helpful. My life is restored with meaning!

Hi boys. I need some advice) I want to record my jam on Minilogue Xd and digitakt into Ableton, and I faced one problem. It sounds like audio from Diigtakt is late. Before using a PC, my setup was very simple: audio from Digi into Xone 92 audio from Minilogue into Xone 92 Audio from Master from Xone 92 into Focusrite 2i4 2nd Gen and then to Monitors. Everything played very well with no delays like one piece Now, when I connected like this: Audio from Minilogue to audio inputs Focusrite Digitakt through USB to iMAC and then of course fo Focusrite and to Monitors it sounds very bad. Is the problem with audio interface?

Well, there is so many ways in this particular scenario to go nuts. But I think I might have an idea that will work for you. Digitakt - Enable Overbridge setting in DT - Launch Overbridge Engine - Connect DT over USB to your Mac - In Ableton remove any checkboxes in MIDI settings next to the Digitakt - Create a MIDI track and put the Digitakt VST into it Minilogue - Enable external clock and transport to come from USB - Connect it over USB to you Mac - Connect audio to your Audio Interface - In Ableton MIDI: Find Out: Minilogue XD and enable all 3 checkboxes, and clock type “Pattern” - You could also measure delay that Minilogue has over USB and set some offset in “MIDI Clock Sync Delay” section (to do that you could record 4-8 bars of a little plucky sound from the Minilogue into Ableton and see and measure how much it drifts from the grid). - Create a MIDI track and put an External instrument there and set the MIDI to go into the right port and audio inputs from your audio interface Then you can use Ableton clock and transport to run all this. Hope that helps. PS: keep in mind that Digitakt VST will introduce some 30-40ms delay, but it will be all in sync, because Ableton will compensate it. The only problem here could be if you play Live on the DT you might experience a little lag.
