Hi Guys,

this is the second Tutorial on the DT2 with some in depth Information on how to make a banging Techno Pattern on the DT2.
This Time with the help of the mighty @oxiinstruments Oxi One.

This Video is a one Take Recording as I like it real as I mentioned in the Intro.
Music isn't perfect and we Humans aren't perfect at all so this should be seen as kind of a protest against all that fake and polished stuff on Social Media.

Thanks for the positive Feedback on the first Clip. I really try to improve with each video.

If you have any Questions feel free to ask in the Comments.

As mentioned check out our jams with @moeferris on his YouTube!

It's awesome to see artists doing tutorials, it sounds really great! Thanks for sharing, it's such a refreshing change from the pointless reviews by YouTubers.

I'm only 7 minutes in and I already learned so many tricks and valuable information. Like controlling the kick low-end, using portamento for the rumble and how to monitor the master output level.
This video is an absolute goldmine of helpful knowledge.
Thank you so much, you are a legend

Hello. Nice video. I have a Rytm Mk2 and Four Mk2..., and I finish my productions in Ableton normally, although I would like to get complete tracks on these machines. I had also thought about including a DT2 to the set to have more play. Thank you for this tutorial. ❤🔊🔊

ich habe in den letzten 10 jahren einige setups für dawless ausprobiert aber ich muss sagen das die DT2 der absolute burner ist. geiler tipp mit den makros. wieder ein sehr cooles video. konnte mir echt viel mitnehmen. bin auch noch etwas neu im digitakt game^^

also den letzten teil mit den frequenzen hab ich nicht ganz verstanden. hab es auch paar mal angehört vielleicht kannste dazu ja nochmal kurz eine visualisierung machen... oder so.

[KKOKKO]

It's really good content! It feels like my favorite techno. I'm using the same equipment, and I think it'd be nice to show it with digitone

[solomo_music]

[Fixme_]

[MrSuchson]

hey, i struggle with learing ableton daw.. 20hrs + and i cant make any sufficient sound.. im thinking of getting kinda this setup like urs and maybe start form here?? what do u recommend?

[SoundHole-wzkx]

Why do you keep all levels to the max and control each track from the AMP env “volume”?

[RifleReviewOz]

Did you say you have a Gumroad account we can access for samples, projects?

This is a great tutorial!! I love your sound
