Elektron Octatrack cheap tricks: Connecting a guitar
I had a lot of question recently, how I connect my guitar to the Octatrack. There are a million ways you can do it and I show you some examples with my Fender Jazzmaster.


1.  0:20 My setup including a pedalboard, Kemper Amp and audio interface
    1. pros: great sound, flexible, portable
    2. cons: expensive
2. 02:58 Pedalboard only with cabin emulators like Strymon Big Sky, Iconoclast, Torpedo CAB
    1. pros: good sound, portable
    2. cons: expensive
3. 4:26 Handy recorders
    1. pros: relatively cheap, useful for other stuff
    2. cons: not too flexible, sound
4. 5:08 Guitar directly into the OT using thru tracks
    1. pros: cheap, easy setup
    2. cons: average quality, loose one track for sampling
5. 9:14 iPad with audio interface running audiobus and tonestack
    1. pros: relatively cheap, great sound, flexible, portable
    2. cons: sometimes fiddly to adjust, latency

Thanks for watching. Feel free to ask questions and share and like etc...
