- Let's take random objects from my house and make a track! This all started when I was testing out a microphone I borrowed from a friend. The microphone sounded so good I had to record anything I could find haha! This is the microphone (bit.ly/4bfhjWO) Soyuz 1973. Simple, hand made, awesome microphone.

Yet another fantastic video. Wanted to shout you out and say thanks for reigniting the inspiration, and always approaching creativity with a sense of curiosity and joy!
Yo thank you for the kind words! That means a ton, why not have fun and enjoy the process right?! Much love.
Coffee's on sequencer's started, dedicating this day to music. Thanks for setting us off on the right foot Ricky, always appreciate what you do ✌🎛🎵🎹
I just got back into ableton with a new MacBook Pro purchase after a 6 year stent in elektron land. It has been so amazing watching you create. I didn’t realize how much I missed the computer and infinite possibilities.
I asked my friend/co-producer who he would want to hang with from CZcams and we both said you.
Your the man and thank you for doing what you do.
Much love
Damn Coleman! welcome back! And thank you for the kind words from you and the homie. I really appreciate it, tell them I said whattup!
ure becoming my favourite producer on youtube because youre still active and seem to have a humble attitude. cheers
Dope track, as usual!
Also, really wanted to thank you for always showing us the whole process, something very few youtubers actually do which is super important to understand how a track ultimately comes together.
Watching you piecing it all together is a real inspiration 🙏
of course! I try my best to leave it all in, it's one of the reasons why I started the channel! I'm glad you're finding it helpful
@@RickyTineztotally agree with this, you learn so much by seeing the whole process. Love the channel 🙂.
Brooo!!! Watching you cook is always so eye opening! I literally took out a pen and paper and started taking notes so I don’t forget the gold nuggets you kept dropping🙌🏻 I want to get into ableton more this year and this was a masterclass🤟🏻
Ps: more please😁
Just wait until next week's video :X haha!
Exactly! A lot of my late 90's deep house stuff contained a mix of 4/8/16 bar quantized loop elements AND some combination of full song takes of live percussion, bass, keys, etc. The live feel and the quantized mix is the secret sauce.
yes! that's exactly it. there is loopiness, and aliveness at the same time
Hi Ricky, you could also use Ableton's comping functionality
Introduced in Live 11, simply activate loop mode, be in arranger view, record over and over again. It looks like it is overwriting when the loop starts again. Simply continue recording multiple loop lengths. Then right click and show take lanes. All audio is there, conveniently in the same loop but multiple take lanes.
THIS!
its funny, I thought about this and just aint too familiar with it just yet! It's very protools feeling! I'll have a play with it some more and I bet it'll make the process even quicker! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me!
You're welcome. Same happened to me, new features came, tried them, forgot them. Comping feels a little bit hidden unless you remember how to use it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the community ☺️
this really did a lot to my future thought process when it comes to using it with my mpc live 2
thanks ricky!
Dude, I cannot wait until one day when you explore grain delays in Ableton or modular! It’s gonna be amazing in your hands!
hahaha I opened that thing up and looked for the nearest exit... I was like not today, not now, maybe tomorrow..
much love man!!! so inspiring
So good!
Discovered your channel during the pandemic. I'm always amazed at the ideas you put together and how well your format works.
haha! Thanks for all the support Tragicwill. 💪🏼
Thanks for that inspiration
Fresh!!!
this is dope as hell! and inspiring too, like, damnn
go make a track! Thanks for tuning in awave
Great groove
really cool. keep up
"...and make this song sound e x p e n s i v e" 😂
This is perfect timing!!!
(For me at least) Recently I really got into orgainc sounds and background ambient noise...
By the way Ricky you like a headchief of a certain area in videogames
Anyways your still the person I use as
lessons when I don't feel like explaining audio stuff to my friends
Keep this up!
hell yea! recording sounds is such a fun and simple way to get creative with our music. and thank you for your time, views, and shares of my videos! Glad you enjoy them
Love when you work in Abelton on your videos. This was a great video and I picked up so much from it. Saturator! 🤯
Saturator is life haha. For kicks and for getting the bump and vibe in the track
Smoothness ✨💐✨🎼🎶🎵👂🏿🙏🏿
FAUZI! thanks for hanging bro, always good to hear from you
I love doing this kind of stuff…also works well on the Octatrack albeit with the occasional loops getting lost :D
hahah! yea, I almost went the OT route and chose Ableton for the more visual aspect of it
That makes sense! @@RickyTinez
I have a room full of kids toys that I know damn well would sound really good and one of those nature-y folley lo-fi beats and I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Hopefully soon I'll get the time to actually try to try it out
yea! whenever I'm playing with my nephews im always listening to their toys haha! Or the cat piano's you see at the stores. im sure it'll all be useful
"What's a grain delay?" - Oh boy, about a few weeks content for sure!
Great video as usual, so vibey
haha! are you a maestro in grain delays? any resources you'd suggest?
@@RickyTinez Ah dude, I've tried to post a reply twice now, one with links and then one without just explaining what videos I would suggest watching and the comments are just disappearing after being posted :(
I think youtube thinks i'm trying to spam you 👎
❤❤❤
Maaaan this was fun to watch! One thing I've come to notice over the years of being here watching is that in this style of music, simple is king. I need to really practice that this year in my own writing. Thanks for reinforcing it!
BTW, what's that slick desktop mic stand? (or is it a full stand I just can't see it all?)
its a tiny desktop mic stand! (amzn.to/3Sc3Wh8) pretty cheap too, but I want to swap it for an ARM that connects to the desk because the base does take up a little space :/
thanks for catching the simplicity factor, my next video will be how to make it even less and mix this track down! I'm stoked to share it with you all
@@RickyTinez ah cool, thanks for link (stand). Could you repurpose that vesa stand you attached the Digitakt to?
Can’t wait for next video!!
So good Ricky! Got me in the mood for recording more stuff - also it'd be hilarious to hear you shaking your change without everything else playing 🤣🤣💰💸🤑
haha! new sample pack coming soon... jk
They're really great mics. Lovely on male voice especially, singing but also spoken. But fantastic on electric guitar amps, and drums too, especially with the Soyuz launcher (which Cuckoo demoe'd sounding nice with SM7b too). Some other great mics like these, also handmade in Europe are the JZ Vintage 67 - a very warm sounding mic - lovely on voice, and also acoustic guitar, string instruments. And also the Chandler TG Type L, which is great on vocals. Generally very smooth, but has two modes, and one is even smoother. Quite a high-end sounding mic, though it's not cheap, it's not crazy expensive either.
yea it hits a nice middle-ground where it'd hurt to buy but I wouldn't regret it when I've been using it on everything 6 months later
@@RickyTinez I find this sort of gear purchase in the 400-800 range is where I buy most of my most used pieces of kit these days. Used to buy cheaper on most things and a few very high end things (e.g. guitars). But too often the cheap stuff is a bit throwaway or single use case. And the gains from going high end are marginal. Rarely ending up selling the stuff that has multiple use cases which saves time/hassle/risk. My only higher end kit is studio monitors and my main guitar, a handmade classical I got second hand with trade in during music conservatory. Worked all summer to save all income to scrape for. And the value of that has tripled, and it's spruce so ageing in a really nice way
Warm audio makes really good sounding mics compressors, preamps and more for a fraction of the cost of the Neumann, Soyuz, Telefunken, Universal audio, SSL, Fairchild, neve etc. products they model their products after. The owner started the company out of his garage and they built their new headquarters just before the pandemic. There's also a ton of the professional studios in nashville that have boxes of their mics, because nobody is making the money you need to be making to be able to afford a mic locker with multiple U87's, U47's and so on and so forth
Oh wow. I've heard of Warm audio before and their stuff seemed interesting. That's a good take on making an affordable product since the industry they're used in isn't paying as much as it used to! hmm. I'll have to check them out! Thanks Donny!
Fun hang. I'm always trying to all these tricks to layer claps when just recording multiple takes would be way faster haha
right?! sometimes the simplest way is right in front of us and we miss it.
@@RickyTinez too true. I can visualize the Drake meme: 30 seconds to record claps? Nah I’ll tweak a 909 clap for an hour
New camera? The image quality is great.
new camera awhile back! haha, thanks!
Thanks!
Thank YOU Ryan!!
oh sweet '')
❤✌️
Hi Ricky, i read an article yesterday that mentioned you interviewed a representative from TE about the K.O. II release and "fadergate" if i remember correctly. Is that a video dropping soon? Or was it part of your other non-youtube work?
whoa, nah I've never done that! Sounds like fun though
Everything is so much easier in a DAW. I lost so much creativity when I used a Computer
make this song sound EXPENSIVE LOLOL!
"I never thought choice of mic can be so important" - honestly dude, I don't know how you "work for Elektron" - bcs I'd expect audio engineer to know different types of microphones and implementation cases. This is like.. basic understanding of sound theory and how sound works. During live recordings, depending on who you are recording, it is not uncommon to try out 10-20-30 different mics (if the budget is big enough and you work at the decent studio that has a good collection of the mics) on singers, different drum elements etc, just to see how specific mic treats specific sourse. Also seems like you are not aware of the proximity effect. If you want to record percussion with that condenser, better bring the woodblock closer, you will have sharper transients.
oh man, thanks you Earl! this is so helpful in helping me better understand microphones. Thanks for taking the time to write all this out, It means a lot. I got very lucky at Elektron and I'm fortunate to be working with such a cool team. Thankfully my camera skills and making video skills are where my worth it there since we don't really record or engineer artists, mainly messing around with drum machines and synths 🤘🏼
@@RickyTinez Hey mate. I apologize if I came across as rude. I know your main skillset is in video and music production, it's all good, happy to help. Extra tip - maybe try out a ribbon mic (but be very carefoul as these are sensitive to dynamics) and compare it to the condenser.
I love your channel and understand that it's not about politics, but I think using and promoting russian products is not a great idea. Especially when russia is trying to rebuild "soyuz" again... I'm sure that there are a lot of other alternatives to this brand. Peace
Ооо Рики добрался до союзов, неожиданно 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
