The OT has proven to be a worthy investment even as a hobby musician.
I have made a pretty round robin template for live remixing and FX scenes on part 1 with most tracks silenced, and have part 2 for audio through with FX and sample slots on other tracks. I spent a good amount of time today with the OT and things are finally starting to click after a few months of periodic use.
Using the “Edit this recording” method of sampling on thru track is perfect when recording incoming audio and not wanting a flex track.
Keeping the volumes up is important for remixing and resampling. That is something I seem to forget, but once I got everything adjusted, I couldn’t even tell the incoming audio apart from the loop in the OT until i changed the pitch.
I have found that the OT slicing is easier and more enjoyable than the new MPC series to me. The 0 point snap with the func is beautiful and adding a new slice is such a breeze. I chopped up a few different things today and finally I am understanding why some say it’s relaxing.
It’s really smooth with midi, and controls gear quite well. I have been panning my syntakt channels hard left for synths and hard right for drums, and putting them on seperate flex tracks. ST + OT is very fun.
I have bought the OT for more ambient things. But here I am, turning samples into mush and crushing breaks with the compressor instead. Is anyone using theirs for soundscapes? How do you get your OT to calm down?
