Blue Squares

By ineff on September 4, 2022 11:38 pm

Feels like I'm turning some corners, particularly expression and sampling―until the piano comes in, the entire opening is a single guitar sample being mucked with in various ways. tongue


Special props to Avrilcadabra for figuring out how to make a shimmer reverb effect directly on the M8, and to iHz for the brilliant idea of standardizing articulations as project utility tables (lifted from their M8 template)―both came in handy this week.


100% made and mixed on a Dirtywave M8 Tracker.

sounds huge! really nice sounds and melodies. did you do any stereo mastering to the render?

I wish I could produce such wholesome tracks within a week. Sounds very full and precision-mixed.

If only the shimmer process wasn't so tedious. The results are rad, but it's not for the lazy folk like myself.

A pretty great melody with great sounds, though I kinda wonder what it feels like if it were just a touch faster.

Lots of cool sounds to fill my ears and it has some nice buildups.  I get an uplifting vibe from this.

Oh my, equally beautiful, catchy and deep. Love the arrangement overall, and the leads are outstanding.

This is such a dope track. It sounds so full and has so much emotion. I absolutely LOVE the part at 2:27. I was listening to this while working and literally had to stop what I was doing and rewind it several times to soak that all in. Amazing

Excellent catchy melody that is supported by a head-nodder of a beat and some gritty dark synth vibes.  Oh yais i like!

Woah. I use the M8 a lot and am still constantly underestimating what it can do with samples. This is like a masterclass! Not to diminish the excellent nostalgic yearning of the track just as music. Great stuff!

To echo laamaa's comment -- the stereo image is fantastic -- are you two-track similar-but-different sounds here? _Very_ impressive mixing on M8! heart

I really like the chunky groove and that 2:27 not a drop but a hit. heart
