I was scrolling the tracks of what everyone did this week, and saw your title - "Ooh, he did some acid this week!". I enjoy the variety...and your dance music is always great. (Also, I'll definitely be checking out that techno history.)

I REALLY like what your vocals brought to this one....particularly the break at 2:00. Also really liked how you brought them back in behind everything at the end.

The pulsing beat gave me some Daft Punk in Tron vibes.  This would sound awesome in a big warehouse/club as everyone bounced and grooved to the beat.  Excellent rhythm and gotta love the 303 acid line with the claps ala Plastikman and all my fav 90s techno artists. 
also pretty much love every video RmR releases.  Lately he's been releasing some awesome music history vids.  The drum n bass one, this one and a rhythm one a few days ago.  It's like a fun music history course

This is an enjoyable techno. Plastikman is a good reference. Your vocals fit very well, had to think of the silverapples. They did something technoid in 1968!!

Great use of the m8. I need to get the dust off mine. A little bit of acid never hurts!

Apologies for being so late to reply to these this week, it's been a busy one.

Glad you enjoyed! It was a lot of fun.

Daft Punk and Plastikman are a high compliments, thank you! I've been learning from Jeremy/RMR for several years now, he's amazing. He also did an incredible master on Summer Forever (the Bandcamp version). Genius.

I'll try to keep you dancin'

Thanks, I need to look up dem apples!

Thank you!

Thank you!

M8 continues to amaze me. It has some amazing synths but its sample engine is incredibly powerful. Very well suited to EDM.

oh neat!  this gave me goosebumps as things were starting up and i like the dark energy waving throughout!

how much of this is the m8?  i imagine you mixed this in a daw later?  is it possible to record vocals on the m8?  (also damn, a bunch of people here including you are using the m8 nicely and you all "make" me want one as well.)

would definitely dance to this in a club.

Curse you WB for erasing this whole comment reply!

99% of this track was the M8 - Vocals were recorded, cleaned up and processed in DAW and then dropped into the M8 as samples, chopped, processed, arranged there - rest of the arrangement all M8. Mixed on the M8 (the new EQs are amazing), then I rendered a single WAV file and mastered that in Ozone.

You can absolutely record vocals into the M8 - it's a fully functional sampler, and the MK2 has an excellent microphone as well as the audio input. What it lacks for vocals specifically are clean up tools and some processing - like, de-esser, de-noise, vocal compression, etc... which is why I record and process in DAW then drop into it as samples.

M8 is a fantastic choice if you enjoy trackers or would like to learn a tracker. Some specific selling points for me personally:
- it's amazing at using samples. I didn't use samples much before I got the M8 but I use them all the time now, as well as the live sampling - my track "peculiar wake" was made entirely by live-sampling into the M8 from various sources and then using those samples to arrange the song.
- the built-in synths sound AMAZING. Combined with the filters and overdrive modes they are capable of a huge range of sounds, I use them all the time and they're constantly surprising
- the modulation capabilities are incredible. Modulation is everything on the M8
- it lets me make music during the day in in-between moments. I can have it on me all the time, turn it on for two minutes to tweak a song, put it down and get back to whatever I'm doing. Like I'll have it near the kitchen while I'm waiting for a pot to boil or something. Tons of my WB music has come because the M8 lets me make music just about anywhere for minutes at a time when I need to.

Okay that's my endorsement lol.

damn.  that's going on the list to investigate then.  those synths seem very fun and the tracker workflow is interesting!  so far i also seem to "work with" the small instruments best, they just seem to appeal to me in general.

thanks for the detailed reply/review!
