Haha yeah I can get pretty messy and disorganized. I try to stay organized once I get started, but then as the song progresses things start moving around a lot and it can get difficult to keep track of stuff, but it's not a huge deal to me. For this track I started by sampling Japanese dialogue and then imported them into the SP404 where I could chop and do some time stretching. From there I made a little beat on the M8 and jammed on the 404 pads to feel out something I liked. Then I took those samples and moved them over to the M8 where I could sequence them by hand and then progress the whole song from there. I often have no idea what the track is going to end up like and usually just try to maintain interest by switching things up periodically, making sure the transitions feel good. Total amount of time spent on this track was probably a few days, but from absolute start to finish it took a couple weeks. Sometimes you just gotta let ideas marinate for a bit before diving back in.

Thank you! There are a bunch of youtube videos that are character dialogues from Kingdom Hearts, I sourced from those.

@@that_Ranjit Ahhh...a franchise I've not partaken in, but seems like a killer source for vocal samples. It was a delight, either way!

you nothing

The M8 is a truly magical device. And the beta version of the new firmware just dropped recently which has massively expanded this thing's potential. I also started off with the Headless version, but only because I knew I wanted the real thing and wanted to practice as much as I could before it arrived. If you haven't already, definitely hit up the M8 Discord server. The community there is extremely helpful and kind.

@@thatskyfox aw thanks! That’s awesome you were able to tune into that! Newest firmware is incredible I’m so excited to try it out!!

Thanks! Not selling the bundle, but I think it will be shared at the next M8 Discord meetup!

Appreciate it! Let me know if you have any questions on your journey with the M8 and I'll do my best to help ya out <3

Appreciate it! I try to do most of the mixing right on the M8, but will then import the stems into Logic and just use the mastering assistant and a limiter to round out the sound. The less I have to do in a DAW the better haha

@@that_Ranjit i was watching the track levels throughout the song (thanks for keeping it on that screen a while lol) and noticing how you're utilizing panning, it really helps with the width it sounds great.

@@that_Ranjit ive been doing the opposite of you basically haha, where ive been exporting a friends tracks (he's got the m8 i have the headless) raw or with just the chorus on and then reapplying reverbs delays, eqing compressing blah blah in Reaper. but i'll be the first to say you don't NEED to do that, the m8 sounds great on its own. i just do it for fun to get better at mixing.

@@tryingtotryistrying Yeah I love me some panning. I usually set an LFO to random + retrig on panning for percussive stuff and sample chops. Oftentimes too I will be more intentional and set the panning on each individual note trigger

I made a face plate for it and printed it. You can find it on Thingiverse!

@@that_Ranjit gonna make one for the M:02?

@@andrewjackson5798 not planning on it. Plus I’m not even sure you could put a face plate on the model 2 with its new design.

Haha I did in fact go climbing! Appreciate you tuning in
