This video could not have come at a more perfect time for me.
Have owned the Dt for five years, just cleared every single project to start fresh and learn how to use the machine with a daw

Bro I couldn’t get this software to work.. it was reading the digitakt in ableton I opened overbridge and it wouldn’t read the device!!!? 😡

In my experience, as well as it is designed, OB is useless for both recording and live performance (as an Ableton live user). I've resorted to only recording via the direct outputs. I'm open to hearing work arounds and I've yet to try OB 2.5.1 but...

Recording: the latency is too much to comfortably record as you have to manually move the USB recordings back each time.
Live performance: same problem except it's worse as having the OB plugins moves everything else back in time as well (with DC enabled).

Great vid! I have a question, is it possible to set say syntakt working via overbridge as master for ableton? So that I set my tempo and launch track on syntakt and not in ableton?)

[Reggi_Sample]

Be warned with the analog heat overbridge reduces volume and adds a load of noise (confirmed multiple times on the elektron forums). Something with the ADC. Using the analog outs this doesn’t happen and much better with reducing latency

I have a Syntakt that is known to be Analog too, could you tell me if the sound quality changes if I want to enter the DAW through USB or if I do it through line output to my audio interface?

How does the monitoring works in Standalone Overbridge? Are the monitor outputs routed to Mac’s system output so then you can hear that via UAD Console? Or do you need to set the connected device as Mac’s system output interface?

In other words, without using a DAW, can you use Elektron device as input routed to Apollo as output?

[austinimbastari]

I have a digitakt and two synths connected via input L & R. Im using Digitakt as an external mixer for recording through ableton but, when I record im getting latency and dont know how to fix it? Any ideas?

Thanks for uploading this. Inspired me to finally figure out overbridge and get my Analog Heat better integrated in my DAW. So much easier!

Great video but I’ve just never understood the benefit of Overbridge aside from multi-track recording.

I watched this to see if something here could change my mind but I don’t think so. Firing up the computer, opening the the DAW, making audio/midi tracks, etc etc… this is a way slower start up period. And while the visuals are nice it’s a very aesthetic plugin), I don’t feel like I can move the mouse to the tabs and parameters I wish to adjust quicker than I can press the page buttons on the Elektron boxes and turn the needed encoders.

Using an Elektron box as a sound module really defeats like 50% of its purpose if not more because it’s a way better sequencer than a piano roll in the DAW. I guess DAW advantage would be quick to draw in velocities and what not but if you miss out on all the parameter locking you’d be better off just sampling with your DAW which is way more power of a sampler than the Digitakt if you’re not planning on using it’s sequencing abilities.

Anyway… whatever. Each unto their own. Clearly I’ve decided Overbridge is not for me. As always though, excellent video.

Thank you so much for the video. I haven't buy Digitakt yet but I wonder, is there a way to simply drag and drop samples from a DAW to Digitakt via overbridge? Or you have to transfer it to the disk on DT?

I have non of these hardware … but enjoy your videos since day one ! So I watched it. Cheers mate !
