Thanks, thanks! Still finding my way around stuff on the M8, but loving it so far.

Got so much more sound design opportunities now

Planning on doing some LSDJ too this year, and maybe even some logic/bitwig vgm stuff. Who knows what the year will bring!

Remind me again, how long ago did you receive your M8? You shouldn't be able to make such funky bangers so soon. Leave some talent for us plebs!

Zonder dollen, super om je weer erbij te hebben! gonna be a great year.

Well I've battled a dozen or so androids in the snow by now

Yeah, love every minute! Saw your track with your kid, I think it's so great how you're involving them in the music making The other day my eldest asked me "how the m8 works", I'm gonna show her this week.

Thanks, means a lot! They usually come naturally to me, and then I spend a ton of time on sound design, haha.

this is so smooth love it!!

Amazing! Love the funky vibes here - I'm bopping right along to this.  Melody written well - all the notes feel very well placed.  Interesting, I wouldn't have picked this as a M8 at it's source... you've done some lovely sound design here.  Quite a bit of FM too?

That's a great description, quirky and cute Thanks!

Thanks! I ended up spending quite some time on the drums on the last day, fitting them to accents in the melody to tie it all together.

51 laps to go, like some weird Mario Kart fever dream :'D

Thanks! I always enjoyed those too as a kid. Always found it weird other people would just skip them as quick as they could.

♥

Hey, thanks! Means a lot, especially because I feel that's a bit of a weak spot for me, and I was still drowning in the M8 synth capabilities.

Quite a lot of it is FM, yeah. The leads, bass and some of the arps. The "guitar" you hear at the start is the hypersyn, which was a lucky find, but with those six individual "strings" you can simulate it pretty well actually.

Always happy to share bundles on the M8 black market.

Diggin it

Diggin it

This sounds effortless.

I love this lead. It's so playful. This song is begging to be revisited for a longer sequence. You can squeak 3 minutes or more out of this concept.

Thanks! Happy you like it

Haha, certainly wasn't! Through week 2 took more effort

That's a great compliment! Thanks

In 2018 I usually put in tracks of around 2–3 minutes, but I'm feeling this time around I'm focusing my effort more into that one minute I think.
