Funny origin for this track. I wrote a small loop but was not pleased with it. So I decided to divide the tempo by to (ending up at 10.3bpm) and suddenly there was something that inspired me! Something slow and breathing, moving between different places.

The m8 tracker is not perfectly designed to work in that bpm range, but that's what make it interesting. Constraints = creativity blablabla. Had to use a table to insert a note because the phrase resolution was too low smile

I always do a final listen of the .mp3 file, and there are always a few tiny details lacking compared to listening with the m8. There is quite a lot of data lost when when converting from the .wav!

In a Spinal Tap vein, why not make the BPM faster and space out things more? wink

I love the slow feeling of this and how it evolves, I feel it's well mixed, too.

But this is an 80bpm track wink haha ... I get it though, it's fun to play in new territories and find things!

For the conversion, what bit rate are you using?

Finally, I really like to export M8 multi-track and then redo the mix in a DAW, add a few plugins for EQ compression, etc ... gives good results!

Cheers!

Oh yes of course it is not really 10 bpm. Playing with this setting made me discover something hidden in the first iteration, and provided interesting constraints.

I do not know what bitrate I am using. I just do `ffmpeg -i mycoolsong.wav mylesscoolsong.mp3` and press "Enter" :3c I could toy around with it to aim for higher file sizes to preserve more details maybe

I think mixing in a DAW will have to wait, I want this year to be m8 only! Then maybe in 2028 I will put my efforts into learning how to mix properly. For now it's 2-3 EQ boosts with bell curves per instrument, a bit of limiter if needed and here we go!
