I succumbed to Gear Re-Acquisition Syndrome and got an Octatrack mk2 for the second time. I've been thinking a lot about using FL Studio more when making music, but I really like performing my music on Elektron instruments. I'm coming back to the Octatrack with a fresh perspective on it. Now that I've used a lot of the Elektron instruments since I last had an OT, I can come back and appreciate it for what it is, and not what I wanted it to be.
For this track I made a couple of piano loops in FL and sampled it into the OT, and also live-recorded a 4-bar bass riff. Pattern 3 plays them in order, and on pattern 4 I played around with slicing and rearranging the samples.
I used the following plugins in post:
MJUC (compressor and drive)
Phoenix (preamp sim)
Maximus (Multiband expander I use as an EQ)
SlickEQ (equalizer for the highest highs)
ToTape6 (tape sim)
Limiter6 (using the clipper and limiter modules)
Thanks for watching!
The track uses pattern B03 and B04 on the project zip file available to patrons here: patreon.com/posts/86193477
