Might get an octatrack. why not?

The OT drives me insane.

It is so much fun, and it makes me come up with stuff I never would otherwise.

Then, I get all like “I can 95% of this in Ableton, and I am tired of all the cables and being careful with gain staging and clicks and getting samples on/off the OT.”

Then, I see @jayhosking’s video. And, then I feel the OT pulling me back. Yeah, I can do most of that in Ableton, but it’s just so much more fun and hands-on in the OT.

@jayhosking I LOVE that video and the other recent one you did. It’s brilliant and inspiring. Can I ask you a couple more questions?

Can you tell us about the scenes you use? I love the crunchy ones in the “crescendo” part at the end.

This might be a big ask, but since you seem open about your process, I figure why not. Would you be up for sharing that set - without the samples? No pressure.

In that spirit, here is a post I made about how to print-out stems of an entire OT arrangement with Ableton so that you can further mix inside a DAW.

Many thanks!
