@GLDN1 Nice!
Thanks Bro.
Pure Funk. Great work, you sold me on the Digitakt.
Happy New Year! My first beat of 2018. Another Stones Throw beat battle entry. Iāve been listening to a bunch of lo-fi SP-202/303 stuff recently so this was inspired by that (shoutout to Lord Beatjitzu if youāre out there, lol).
This is is mostly flipped from a Swiss Prog Rock tune. I sampled my Volca Kick for the sub-bass. Headphones or a subwoofer recommended because the Volca Kick is a monster. Lol.

Thanks man! Iāve been experimenting more with recording live and unquantized, as opposed to what I would call more of a programming style using start times, which is the method I was initially using.
The key on the DT is setting the amp to ānote onā so that the sample only plays while you are holding down the trig since there are currently no mute/choke groups. Unfortunately, there is currently a bug in the OS that prevents more than one track from being recorded simultaneously (which cripples it for live drumming) but I notified Elektron, they confirmed the bug, and said that they hope to have it fixed in the next OS. Once thatās fixed, it should be possible to use the DT more like an SP202/303/404.
This track was also the first time Iāve experimented with sub-bass like that. Iām not so happy with the mix, but I have a much better idea of how to go about it now, so Iāll get it on the next track.

@DimensionsTomorrow Cheers, man ! Your latest beat is super dope, digging that more abstracty direction you tookā¦ wide and fat soundscape. Would have liked a more prominent snare, tho, but eh, thatās subjective.
@Sleepyhead Again, digging the chill mood and the quality of the whole arrangement. From track to track, seems like you have quite a distinct style. Clean mix as well !
@GLDN1 Rushed to the end of the video to get to the good stuff quickly, and wasnāt disappointed. Dope track, Iāve always been a sucker for eastern moods. Was in Cambodia not so long ago, but didnāt find any time for crate digging, which is a shame. Iāll take a look at the rest of your video a bit later, curious to check your workflow !
