Making music with the Dirtywave M8

Hi!

In this video I wanted to share some insight on the way one can make music with the M8.

It includes:

- How to sample into the M8 (with a beautifuul patch by ‪@Synth-PatchesCom‬)
- How to crop and slice
- An overview of the way last track is composed
- The basics of creating a song with the M8
- Specific track parts and examples of FX column goodness
- A freezed reverb fadeout idea (thanks Disposable Planet for the trick!)
- A short demo of what tables are and 1 example among millions of what it can do
- Details on some synth patches.

Of course this is a simple approach. the M8 is much, much deeper!
The beauty of trackers is that there are thousands and thousands ways of making things. What I showed here is the way I created one particular track. But every time I pick the M8 I do things differently. And I hope you will too.

I didn't want to make a straight forward tutorial as some really good ones already exist.
For more details about specific aspects of the M8, check out ‪@StephenMcLeod‬ and‪@avrilcadabra‬ great tutorials. ‪@0Fdigital‬ also made great livestreams on sound design. Dirtywave M8 has a great discord channel, and share their excellent livestreams on their Youtube channel.

Also, I couldn't encourage you enough to check out the great artists who use the M8 and keep pushing its boundaries: ‪@DisposablePlanet‬, ‪@laamaa‬, ‪@S_TN‬, ‪@RobAllison‬ ‪@vvlvmusic‬ and recently ‪@stateazure‬, and many others.

Thank you for watching.
