Trippy! I went back to listen to an earlier part of the track and discovered I could create my own extended remix by clicking anywhere on the blue progress bar and the beats seem to line up.  Try it... that's my Pro Tip. Cool track!

10kmens self reflection
Only M8 this week?
Your breaks inspired me this week while composing.

10kmens self reflection Only M8 this week? Your breaks inspired me this week while composing.

thank you king. I hope you've been well. feels like we're long overdue for a catchup.

the vocals are indeed half from a classic gospel vocal sample pack. can't help myself.

the funny part about this track, is to me during the composition, it did not feel wonky, just very fast and syncopated. it's all been cut to a grid bahaha! however, upon further reflection, it is indeed VERY wonky.

thank you! I appreciate your ongoing support of my particular brand of "music" a lot. it's nice.

I did something unheard of and made myself a folder of heavily processed breaks ON A COMPUTER and then dumped those on my M8. Did some dumb transient replacing and heavily killed transient delay times - likely going to be using a lot of them over the next few months now I have said folder at the ready. After rendering it all out and transferring it to the SD etc, I figured I'd lean in and explore what I could on my couch instead of "in the studio"... Within about an hour I thought I'd push it through the whole way as one M8 for a change. It may as well not be a M8 though, it's 7 channels of samples and one FM synth for that bass.

This is brilliant (and maybe sheds some light on how you get your M8 breaks so toit... ).  Must make a project of doing something similar―so far, I've been grabbing/recording stuff as-needed and as-is―a bit of up-front prep like this sounds so much smarter and probably sounds better (or at least, wastes less time and fx steps on code-golf style faffing around to get the same effect using only on-the-box tricks).

Did you have specific ideas/projects in mind when processing those breaks, or did you prep them as a sort of all-purpose toolkit?

I was inspired for a lot of the music I've pulled together this year, by a folder in classic breaks collections that Snottdog put me onto called "traymens" ... he gave me the lowdown on the history of producer edited/processed breaks of classic breaks... Then recently I saw a plugin demo from Mr. Bill, who I am a fan of, processing breaks with said new plugin, and thought "heck it, I'll give it a go". Dumped 50 odd random breaks in a folder, tinkered with settings to make one of them sound usable to my ears, then processed them all the same and rendered them out at tempos I like for future use.

My goal with sample collection/processing is usually to give myself as much room to continue to discover ideas, as opposed to planning specific track ideas from the outset (beyond knowing I tend towards a 160bpm+ wonky thing). I knew I'd find sounds I was chasing having these 50 odd breaks - is the punchline!
