THE PROOF

By PeterM on July 28, 2024 9:25 pm

After playing the with mic on the M8:02 last week for some vocal bits, I decided to go all in this week.

This week's track is 100% made with my voice through the mic on the M8:02. I started with a "boom", then a "bap", and a "tick-chick" ... then just kept going. Some "oohs" and some "ahhs" and a pitched down distorted bass line and some spoken lines from an old calculus text book to fill out the rest of the song.

So, no synths for anything. Just my voice and messing with envelopes, filters, amps, pitches, and EQ on the M8 for everything.

Actually, the new M8 EQ really helped on this one. Since everything was just my voice, there was a ton of harmonic overlap will all the different parts and it was just a muddy mess. With the EQ I could kind of separate everything and clean things up ... granted, I don't really know what I'm doing other than trying to give each "instrument" its own frequency range to occupy. So much to learn still!

Fun times. And another week down.

... daaaaanng... That's remarkable, like the kick in this track sounds amazing... and I would have liked it not knowing it started as a sample of you saying "boom" ... after knowing that... I just deeply love it.  This is a super dope track on it's own, and could totally be like a commercial for the new M8.... very nicely done. 

hell yeah, this is so cool! really nice work all around
that kick!

This is really cool! and catchy! love it!

Thanks very much everyone! And thanks for the appreciation of the kick! I'm not sure I could replicate that again, but I stumbled onto something there I guess, haha! This was a fun challenge and I am so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

Yeah, this is awesome - love that you were able to do all this with your voice, turned out great and quite catchy.

Clear evidence of the beat.
