Please watch: "5 Strategies for Finishing Your Tracks Old Projects" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXhmoAnO83I --~-- How to DJ with the Elektron Octatrack Tutorial ▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/mayenmusic In this video I go over how to use the Elektron Octatrack to DJ with an external mixer like the Pioneer DJM-800. This is part 2 of a series on what steps you need to take in order to get your Elektron Octatrack and other gear ready for your DJ Set. The Elektron Octatrack is an audio and MIDI pattern sequencer/sampler with eight tracks of each type. With the Elektron Octatrack s flexibility, you can have fun and Spice Up your DJ Sets.

You can follow my music : Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/artist/mayen/59802 More behind the scenes stuff: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mayen_music Mayen on WEB: www.mayen-music.com HERE ARE THE STEPS: Step 1: The Audio from the Elektron Octatrack gets routed to the desired channel of the DJ Mixer. In this case it was routed to Channel 4. This will carry the Dry Signal of the Elektron Octatrack, and the Octatrack Effects. Step 2: The audio from the Cue output will be routed to the desired channel of the DJ Mixer. In this case it will be routed to Channel 1. This will carry the mangled signal from the sounds going through the external effects. You can use your own external effects. Step 3: In order to do everything through the Elektron Octatrack you would use Track 7 and 8 as through engines and use the Cue Out to send the percussive elements to the external effects and back in through Input A+B and C+D. ▶ Here is a Link to where to buy it: Elektron Octatrack MKI: https://amzn.to/2BvSNR0 Elektron Octatrack MKII: https://amzn.to/2Brtdwy LOW COST DJ MIXER: https://amzn.to/2Sx6CG7 MID COST DJ MIXER: https://amzn.to/2BTFtpS HIGH END DJ MIXER: https://amzn.to/2Rv26L0 ▶ Here is the Equipment that I used to record this video: Canon T6i Video Creator Kit: https://amzn.to/2P3T1DQ Canon EF-S 24 MM: https://amzn.to/2TKMl0R Studio Lights: https://amzn.to/2PRVtCB Tascam Dr-40: https://amzn.to/2TP3J4q #elektron #octatrack #djtutorial How to DJ with the Elektron Octatrack Tutorial DISCLAIMER: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.
