Host: Jon Production: Jon - http://www.instagram.com/jwayniac Editing: schnüdlbug - http://www.instagram.com/schnudlbug We're back, and this time I brought replicants. This is a walkthrough of my process with the Octatrack Mk II. I wouldn't necessarily call it a tutorial but I believe there's some things here that can be of use to anyone getting into making beats. I do my best to make sure what I'm attempting to teach is applicable to users of any machine or DAW. 0:00 Intro 0:43 Slicing Sample 2:32 Playing Slices 3:04 Compression on Sample 4:45 Sequencing Sample 9:55 Finding Some Drums 12:10 Building More Patterns 13:03 What Else? 16:17 Enjoying It

Welcome back. Today, we're going to learn how to adapt to your own stupid mistakes. This is a walkthrough process video of making hip hop beats on the Octatrack mk II. The original recording of this session was roughly 4 hours in length and has been edited down for your viewing pleasure. If you'd like to see this happen in real time, go ahead and follow the link above to my Twitch channel. 0:00 Intro 0:19 Slicing Sample 1:34 Playing Slices 2:18 Sequencing Sample 4:17 Find Some Drums 5:35 Push Them Back 6:52 More Drums 7:28 Computer Time 9:58 Instruments 11:13 Tighten It Up 12:44 DUB 14:08 A Lead 16:23 Enjoying

Welcome back. Are you allowed to say your own beats are good? Because this beat is good. And I made it. I'm proud of that. Anyway...if you want to see me make more beats please subscribe to the Youtube and if you want to be there when it happens I have a Twitch (saturnmane). I'll see you there. 0:00 Intro 0:27 Slicing Sample 2:05 Playing Sample 2:53 Sequencing Sample 4:22 Bring In The Drums 7:30 Other Sample 8:40 Computer Time 9:17 Recording Intruments 10:12 Playing Instruments 12:13 More Instruments 13:13 Enjoy

This is the LAST TWITCH VOD. From now on the videos will look much better than this. I appreciate you all for sticking with my uploads during this time in figuring it all out and can't wait for you to see what's in store next. 0:00 Intro 0:26 Slicing Sample 1:35 Sequencing Sample 2:29 Finding Drums 3:00 Computer Time 3:42 Editing Instruments 4:03 Adding Instruments 5:52 Finishing Touches 7:11 Beat's Done

Welcome to the new and improved Jon Makes Beats Youtube channel. This is a complete overhaul from the previous videos and we're really proud to show you what we're working on. Take a look at this sitar beat I made on the Elektron Octatrack Mk II by using a combination of sampling and MIDI sequencing. We upload every Wednesday so come back next time and we'll make another beat. 0:00 Intro 0:35 Sampling On The Octatrack Mk2 1:36 Let's Find a Drum Loop for the Beat 2:26 Putting One Shot Drums Underneath 2:25 Faking Sidechain on the Octatrack 3:42 Using Slide Trigs to Affect Pitch 4:45 Adding Piano Chords via Slice Mode 5:06 Sitar Story Time 6:12 Bending Sitar Notes via Pitch LFO 7:24 Auditioning New Sounds via MIDI 8:20 Listening to the Finished Beat

I figure it was time I step out of my comfort zone on this channel and incorporate a drum machine and make some electronic music. I love the way the Elektron machines work but this is the first time I've had them communicate with each other like this and I love the way they all feel like just one big machine when they come together. It's a lot of fun and if anyone gets the opportunity to do something similar I would highly suggest it. 0:00 Introducing What We're About To Do 0:30 Chopping Up The Sample on the Octatrack 1:15 Creating Drum Patterns on the Analog Rytm mk II 2:57 Creating Leads on the Analog Keys by Playing 4:05 Creating Bass on the Analog Keys Using Sequencer 4:35 Making New Drum Patterns on the Analog Rytm mk II 5:08 Playing Around With The Parts I've Created

How many times can I say "cool" during the making of a beat? According to my editor, he even cut out some times I said "cool". 0:00 Introducing What We're About To Do 0:16 Chopping Up The Sample on the Octatrack 1:00 Creating Drum Patterns on the Octatrack 2:09 Rotary Chords 2:26 Using the Analog Keys to Layer Synths 3:25 Using the Analog Keys to Play a Bassline 4:06 Creating Variation in the Sample Chops 5:04 Adding Another Synth From Analog Keys 6:20 Beat's Done

This is the Elektron Octatrack, the most misunderstood sampler in decades. Today, we'll go through the process of making a hip-hop beat on here and have some fun along the way. I cracked up at the flute part. Wasn't ready for that. This is definitely the most fun I've had with a hardware sampler and I would suggest at least taking a deeper look into it if you're in the market for one. 0:00 Introduction 0:16 Slicing Samples On The Octatrack 1:32 Adding A Drum Break to the Beat 2:08 How To Play Instruments on The Octatrack 2:59 Utilizing Parts To Expand Unique Tracks 4:04 Getting More Instruments Into The Octatrack 4:20 Steel Drums In The Beat 5:08 Adding Some Sound Effects To The Beat 6:25 This Sampler has a Crossfader! 6:44 Listening To The Finished Beat

I'm sure I'm not the only one when I say that the Christmas season makes me feel like a kid, again. It happens every year without fail. One way I can capture that feeling is to take Christmas songs that remind me of my childhood and reimagine them into something that better describes how they make me feel. The Octatrack definitely helps me with that. 0:00 I'm Now on Patreon!
