RIPPED

By mzunguko on April 21, 2024 6:56 pm

This week I decided to make sure my Digitakt is running the latest firmware and program some drums and a bass line. Got some dusty drums dialed up (mostly you guested it by now EA-SKI), some dusty saturation and off we go. Wanted a heavy but spacial sound that hits you upfront in a distant way,but with focus (there are my usual perc dust). I ran all 8 tracks of drum programming, fx, etc in 2 patterns (16 tracks) and tracked these into Ableton using Overbridge. Finished in ableton.

Love the digitakt workflow as a hardware device.



Hope you enjoy

Mission accomplished. Love how that distant vibe carries over with the vocals at 1:37. Super cool sounds.

I agree, the music sounds big and present, but the vocals sound like they're coming from far away and it creates a cool effect.

Love the grittiness in this.  Just the right amount of organic textures envelop those deep subs. Nice work.

Thanks, I am always mucking with the mix trying different mix chains.

Thanks, slightly on the saturated side, but I can't stop experimenting with textures.

I see that the Digitakt just got a refresh, I am a sucker for drum machines, but I am sure I will pick one up, such a great device.
