Bear with me for a sec. Your bass sound is not my cup of tea. Not a fan of what it is doing, either. And that would be reason enough to skip your track. In fact, I nearly did. But I hopped around in file and heard enough different things that I liked. So your tune got another chance. And I'm glad it did. It is wonderfully chaotic and wild. Like it's bursting with energy. Well done! I enjoyed this!

Excellent recording and mixing on those drums. And playing, ofc. Looking forward to some Ctrix crazyness this year

Monodeer borrowed me his v1 M8. Very inspiring to hear what everyone here has done with it. Hope to get a track out with it as well.

Lovely!

yo. excellent playing. felt the groove from the first moment. really interesting to imagine how you composed on the m8, for me it's hell to make phrases longer than a bar on it, cause of the constant switching. much more comfortable playing smth live altho it's never perfectly on time. anyway great grooves in this track, v funky. I guess one of the keys to making it this funky is to syncopate things a lot, and having a solid groove at the core around which to mess around with variations.

i've been playing a lot with a drummer and thinking about groove the past year so im def up for geeking on this. very cool rhythmic ideas around 3min. like vamp + drum solo/fills. one of the coolest things, esp when doing it live. would love to jam w you sometime!

love the unison lines going up starting around 1:45, behind which u go ham on the drums.

WELCOME BACK! GREAT TO HAVE U

Ohhhh, nice, some nice jazz chording going on here. Is that multiple channels of notes, or are you doing hypersyn trickery here?

Small wonder you're a master of the M8. In your hands it sounds like we nostalgically think the Amiga sounded in the 1990s. But of course it's super hi-fi and the polyphony allows much more breathing room. Love how you're making the bass the musical start of the show. It's like one of those jazz bands where the bassist is the leader and it's clear to everyone. Even though the other musicians are also on top of their game.

Like the drummer here. That guy's really good! And the way the drumming never repeats transforms the track. The entire song feels so human and authentic. And none of your complaining about an ass mix will convince us. Not only is the M8 a tiny DAW in a box now with its EQ and compression capabilities, but your minimal Reaper mix blends it very well with the drums.

I was happy to see your submission this week. I'm even happier now after hearing it. Good shit, no notes, five stars.

Ooof! Feel that bass groove immediately.  But then the synth leads just add to it even more.  Head_nods all over! Love the chord progression as it takes off with the slick drums.  Got me wipin da sweat off my head listening to this gem.  Oh the breakdown is especially appreciated.  Like I just burst through the cloud tops and can see my house.  The drums are so good.  You got chops! \m/

Great work! Interesting approach to skip drums on the M8 and do them live afterwards, the opposite of what I typically do. I'll have to try that. Love the chord rhythms too.

Oh man the live drums responding to the loose jam feel of the synths, the chimes, the chords...so slick. I would never guess this is one person. It sounds like the effortless fun had by a band that's played together for years.

This is awesome. The M8 component is just a fantastic groove but there is way more to the "glue" here than a limiter, all the parts really came together and sound like they're in the same space, its awesome welcome back!

Gotta have the funk! Love that you played the drums live on a Roland kit. Impressive.

I had v-drums way back and took some lessons but didn’t practice enough. One night I drunkenly committed to buying a couple of Moog synths off someone on Craigslist .. and my lady made me sell the drums to help offset the cost. Oops.

Already listened on the M8 discord and almost forgot leaving a comment here. You composed the whole thing in 4hrs?? That's crazy to me, just like the idea of drumming along for 5 takes and ending up with something this coherent. Sounds like way more time must've been invested just to get the arrangement down like that. Also loving the bass breakdown at 1:42. Looking forward to more!

Oh wow - this is a lot of comments to reply to!   Thanks for the support

Trying to!

Thanks Ocean Palace.  Trying to keep pushing next level.

It's a theme I'm trying to keep up for January!  Cheers :-)

It was strange making a tun without the drums and then adding them in after and hearing it for the first time only while I was playing along to the M8.

Oh that's right!  I forgot you were also a drummer too    Highly recommend - it's a lot of fun.  I find I do a version of the tune with some simple percussion (hats or similar) to play along to instead of a click,  but then usually keep that line it in, just turned down in the mix.

I did my best.  There were also some out of control moments where I stuffed up the fills but left them for entertainments sake!

I'm glad you enjoyed the tune.  Yeah, I often find this with WB tracks... you FF and go "woah, ok, I didn't expect the track to do this!"

Hahahaha thanks!

ADHD

Certainly takes a journey.  A lot of it is because of stacking multiple Hypersynths with oddly semi-clashing inversions then taking out an offending not or too, but being left with this very stacked chords I wouldn't normally come up with.

Starting with a bassline is a bit of thing I often do!  It's usually where a song starts for me.

Thanks Vivi!  I was bopping a lot on this one too.

Big boots to venture near there!  Great to see you back on WB this year mate.  Miss ya!

Cheers!  Yeah, the M8 - or tracking in general - is something I've just done for so long that I find it easy to get melodic in it.  Although I make totally different tunes in it compared to using piano roll (this weeks tune is piano roll and very different vibe).

2 x Channels of Hypersyn in most places.  I'm also using the Braids stacked chord synth too in places.  I generally do one with a 5th, one with a 4th and you can do minor 7ths and major sus chords if you use 2 x channels.

Hahaha.  Thanks mate.  Appreciate it.  Yeah, starting with the bass is often just how I compose.  (did the same this week).  Part of the fun of fusion stuff is you can play drums with endless variation ;-)  Doing it live keeps it non-repetative too.

Gotta love that Hypersynth!

Cheers!  I've only got my chops back in the past 6 months or so.  I used to play as a kid and then got back into it recently.

Too much love for the funk and fusion jazz game ;-)

It's fun.  I do a simple percussion line to follow along to rather than a click, then turn it down in the mix at the end.  Helps keep groove rather than just a click.

Appreciate that you picked up on the vibe of it sounding like a band working together... that's what I was going for!

The Limitor 06 is pretty impressive TBH.  There is a bit of mastering in-M8 too.  Glad it sounded ok on your side too as I've only checked it on HiFi speakers!

Thanks!

Oh I struggle with that too; especially with distractions.  It did come together quicker than I thought.  Week 2 however.... took far too long :-P 

Get back into it!  I hadn't played since I was 18 and got a $100 "KAT" kit designed for kids to learn on.  Super cheap.  After a few months with that (to confirm I would play it) I grabbed the Roland VQD and they are dead quiet for appartments, etc.  As long as you don't have wooden floors!

Thanks!  Been about a year of playing every day (or most days).  Mostly to backing tracks.  Absolutely worth it - hope you find the time to get some more practice in!

Ayyyyy!  Glad you managed to get it on headphones.

Nah, I really do not like to "practice"... I'll try to put a bit more time recording or playing with my friends but really I don't like to work on my chops - play over tracks (depending on the tracks, especially if you can find a drumless version it can be a bit of fun, but I am not pulled into doing that at the moment...).

Awesome!  It's more of a series of modal changes than anything - switching between minor and major modes AFAIK.

Hahaha - I understand.  The fact you got Moog synths in return for the recoup of a V-Drum is impressive in itself.  Looking forward to hearing those Moog's in some weekly beats ;-)

Felt like it needed a little nod along at the spot.  It was actually the spot where I was thinking "hmm... is this too sparse?" (as I was doing the music first).

I'm not going to be able to keep it up tho hahaha.  But cheers!  Looking forward to hearing your tunes too!

It's got a lot of inspiration from the 70s funk / fusion stuff.  I guess the very digital nature of the synth engines makes it sound modern.

We are back indeed!  What a mission ay....

Glad to have ya on board!  Can't promise I'll make it past Feb hahaha.

Cheers!  Sat down at 4pm on the beanbag... had the track by 8pm... had dinner, then laid the drums down 9pm - 10pm.  Mixed it by 11pm.  Just kinda happened.

HNY Back at ya!  Been enjoying your videos - so good.  Yup - I've spent last 2 years getting chops back up.  Finally feel like I can play whats in my head :-) 

Gotta keep it groovin!

It's literally the thing I'm most proud of in life at the mo.  Could hardly play 2 years ago, and now feel like I'm beyond where I was when I was 18! (and got into music school doing jazz drumming, but turned it down for an IT degree)

Absoluetly!  And yeah, that image sums me up perfectly hahahaha.  Happy New Year Emily!!

Cheers!  I'll hopefully get a few more tunes like this  as the year goes.

Thanks.  I was pretty toasted by the time I got it done.

[quote=carcus]Fellow drummer, nice chops! Great chord progression, I'm not a theory wizard, but what felt like a key change a third of the way through was a nice touch. [/quote] Awesome! It's more of a series of modal changes than anything - switching between minor and major modes AFAIK. [quote=DataJanitor]Gotta have the funk! Love that you played the drums live on a Roland kit. Impressive. I had v-drums way back and took some lessons but didn’t practice enough. One night I drunkenly committed to buying a couple of Moog synths off someone on Craigslist .. and my lady made me sell the drums to help offset the cost. Oops. [/quote] Hahaha - I understand. The fact you got Moog synths in return for the recoup of a V-Drum is impressive in itself. Looking forward to hearing those Moog's in some weekly beats ;-) [quote=waziam]What a weapon! Drums really bring it to life, and the breakdown in the middle hits the spot[/quote] Felt like it needed a little nod along at the spot. It was actually the spot where I was thinking "hmm... is this too sparse?" (as I was doing the music first). [quote=Aisjam]starting the year on a high :). The whole track is a banger.[/quote] I'm not going to be able to keep it up tho hahaha. But cheers! Looking forward to hearing your tunes too! [quote=Coldsushi]Dang this is an awesome track, nostalgic but also modern[/quote] It's got a lot of inspiration from the 70s funk / fusion stuff. I guess the very digital nature of the synth engines makes it sound modern. [quote=jegasus]We back, babyyyyyy!!!! This sounds awesome, dude. Funky and stanky, just how I like it, hahaahaha... [/quote] We are back indeed! What a mission ay.... [quote=CTRL DEL]Man, love to hear some more cTrix this year. Started out with great groovyness[/quote] Glad to have ya on board! Can't promise I'll make it past Feb hahaha. [quote=LeBernd]Already listened on the M8 discord and almost forgot leaving a comment here. You composed the whole thing in 4hrs?? That's crazy to me, just like the idea of drumming along for 5 takes and ending up with something this coherent. Sounds like way more time must've been invested just to get the arrangement down like that. Also loving the bass breakdown at 1:42. Looking forward to more![/quote] Cheers! Sat down at 4pm on the beanbag... had the track by 8pm... had dinner, then laid the drums down 9pm - 10pm. Mixed it by 11pm. Just kinda happened. [quote=orangedrink]DUDE ARE WE PLAYING DRUMS?!?!?!?!?!? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MENTAL! The immediate stank face that happened when this track started. This is so good! So grateful you are back! wow, your fills are great - kick doubles are HOT happy new year buddy <3[/quote] HNY Back at ya! Been enjoying your videos - so good.

[quote=glittercritter]So funky and bouncy! That's some solid drumming skills. Awesome work 😎[/quote] It's literally the thing I'm most proud of in life at the mo.
