Man between you, Bobeats and Cocoo I have literally set up a dope DAWless set up in my place during quarantine learning from you all. Seriously man. I am always learning on every video you make and plus you have such a dope ass vibe. Hopefully once quarantine is over imma look you up to go see your shows :)

You sir, just inspired me to make my first Dawless setup, I was so afraid to go into the Dawless setups but you just explained it so clear and I can easily search the essential equipments for myself now. Thank you for this!

Just want to tell you that your video was off the scale informative and inspiring. Looking to do solo music for yoga classes, Ambient style meditation. Trying to figure out how to do this is a one-man band playing guitar bass singing, you’ve given me some great ideas thank you so much!

[Taetro]

great vid! Would love to see a follow up, maybe a bit of a vlog from the gig or even a live performance vid so we can see it in action even more.

A lot of people wondering why the DAW shade..? For me it has to do with computer meltdowns. Too many times I have been performing with my computer and run into some computer related tech glitch that completely took me out of the vibe, or out of the mix entirely. Hardware has been far more reliable.

Plus there is a tactile satisfaction to it. Same reason people don't typically just use their computer keyboards but instead opt for midi controllers. It quite literally FEELS good to create on a dedicated sampler or other piece of hardware by comparison with creating exclusively in a DAW.

A lot of people also appreciate the limitations hardware presents, forcing you to be creative within the bounds of the gear. This can be a lot of fun, especially when you get to know the gear and start hearing what everyone else is doing with it! Sometimes if I'm producing just within Ableton it can feel a bit too open ended and rather stale to try and start a new jam.

that bassline contrasts beautifully with the pcm backdrop! Wonderful stuff!

[agustinbernal]

Gracias Sr. Martínez, excelente como todos sus videos!!

[LeoS]

Loved this video...hardware is a “mood.” As the young people say lol. I recently started watching your videos and your content reminds me that music should be fun. Not knowing your destination is okay. It’s the journey and experience that counts. Thanks.

That idea with the cue out to the SP404 is legendary! Thx for that!

[danandkiko]

Brilliant setup. Beginner here taking notes...

[TheOfficialRemiMoore]

Interesting setup. Interesting way to add in the novation. That sp404 really brings some variation and excitement.

Awesome vid! Great way to get some ideas for a live setup. I got into synths and making electronic music only about a year ago, and coming from a Rock / Hardcore Punk background getting a setup like this working for a live set still feels alien to me. It’s an inspiring journey though. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! 🙌🏽

how to perform live without a computer: buy 20 other items and hook them up with 350 different cables which ends up costing 110x's the amount of a computer LMAO

[mutinyz]

Really appreciate the time you spent putting this daw-less video together. we are just starting out so thanks for the great vid.

I like what you have going here (especially as an Octatrack owner). It's not complicated, but incredibly versatile at the same time for doing things on the fly. Also, love chill type stuff with a 303 in it, first song I ever completed was in the same vein <3

[valdiskrebs]

Great explanation ... but information overload, so many useful tips.
The key lesson here is: you don’t need a lot of gear, but they need to be flexible and you need to know each piece deeply.

[Moonbear]

I'm new to the synth world. Just got a beatstep pro and minilogue this week. This was helpful to understanding what different pieces of hardware do and how simple or complicated a setup can be.

the color grading on your videos is always so smooth

[Kveg-yk]

Hey man big fan. Very informative and mama mia what a groove. When you started bringing that loop in I didnt even know what to do with myself.
