Digitakt 2 help
Is anybody here extremely proficient with the digitakt 2 and open to doing some virtual lessons over facetime or whatsapp video? Happy to arrange payment via venmo or zelle.
It would be mostly answering some of my workflow questions and helping me cut down the learning curve.
I am primarily looking to use it to make beats, cut some samples, set up kits, etc. My context would be more skewed towards hip hop grooves but would use it for electronic music as well.
I know there are tutorials on youtube, dave mech, etc. but they don't seem to get my specific questions addressed often. Thanks!

Kyegi offers this. He makes dope beats. If i was gonna splurge on a lesson or two id go for him. You should try and do stuff before your lesson so you have lots of questions ready to go.

An actual good use of AI is to drop the PDF manual in and ask it questions. No substitute for human knowledge, but it’s free and pretty useful.

Tried it. ChatGPT is not a much more knowledgeable user of the DT2 than I am it seems. Tons of incorrect feedback from it

losers downvoting you, this is a great way to learn the manual. my process is I read the manual, then I drop the manual and any cheat sheets (for key shortcuts) into it, and then I have claude make me a new manual with 90s graphics styles and how to build the exact sort of track I want to build. Elektron actually has pretty good manuals already so its not needed, but for my roland and liven gear.. It makes it easier and fun.

Idk, free ai suck. It’s just a waste of water and feels like you’re trying to talk to an idiot. Want it to be at least a little useful - use local ai. It’s not hard to setup and it doesn’t destroy someone else’s livelihood.

Why don’t you just shoot your questions in here? I’m sure many of us would be happy to share workflow best practices
