Hello there. This is quite the bop.

Yes this is a bop! Love that melody, great movement in the bass. Groove is solid. Good times here!

Some really nice melodies on this, nice upbeat feel to it, M8 looks really dope, maybe one day I’ll look into one, the workflow does look intimidating to me.

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for the feedback! I had such a tough time mastering this and I'm certain it could use more, but alas it is time to move on, week 40 looms.

I can assure you looks are deceptive here. The workflow is using a USB SNES controller like this, and playing a very strange video game that results in songs like you here on this site with the tag m8tracker.

The craziest part is how intuitive it ends up being, and the manual is pretty solid.  If you want to try it out, you only need a $40 teensy 4.1 and an sd card (and a game controller is my high recommendation).

Nice trip. I like the sound of the beat, the snare sounds appropriate. The melodies are fun and full of energy.

Thanks for the info, that is really cool that can get this stripped down version at a low cost, may have to check it out.  Too bad the M8 is unavailable right now, my main appeal to it was the portability of it and not being tied down to a computer.  Do you have any experience with the polyend tracker?  Doesn't seem to get as much love as the M8

Sadly I only have the teensy now since the actual m8 is such a high demand low supply thing. I have heard great things about the polyend tracker, but never used it myself.  The teensy + sd card for less than $100 is hard to beat price wise.

maybe weird comment, but I love the mixing on this.

the drums are not too loud and it is a really pleasant, non-ear fatiguing mix.  I could listen to a 16min version of this that kept changing sections every few bars

I really appreciate that. I iterated on the mix (bouncing, listening in my car stereo, etc.) at least 20 times before I settled on this version.  I've gotten a little better (and a little worse) since then... Always a fun  journey.
