a beat from scratch on the m8 tracker's 3.0 firmware

why hello there! the m8 recently received a firmware update that added a new synth engine, which got me to pick it back up again and sketch some new song ideas. have a peek into my process as i write a fresh track-surely nothing bad will happen by the end...

I am CACKLING, your commentary is so funny. Please keep making these. Also my condolences on this immense loss. Thoughts and prayers 😔🙏💜

[@producedbychloerose]

thank you 🙏 the hardest part is to wake up in the morning knowing that it’s gone

[@johnfretz1938]

It was simply too much jazz-hands. And with that, it became sentient and moved on to another plane of existence, taking with it all you had provided. With a little hope, you might get a postcard from the other side, around the holidays, maybe. One can never be too sure about these things.

[@bunnymud1972]

I dig this. Can't wait to get mine.

[@gravecode]

This is definitely a vibe

[@LukeLendrum]

This is good "content". I hope to have my M8 sometime July/August. This is probably the most useful workflow video I've seen.

[@producedbychloerose]

aww thank you!! remember me when you're banging out the tunes 😈

[@hotsoupmouth]

Most depressing film of 2023 😭

[@Sc3ptor]

Hi Chloe, watching your creative process and workflow with the M8 has been super inspiring! I was on the fence of getting my first tracker but after watching *all* of your videos, I'm convinced it's the right move! Please keep these vids going! your commentary is hilarious and always super enjoyable to watch :)

[@producedbychloerose]

thank you so much 🥺 trackers are really fun, especially if you have terminal spreadsheet brain like me. i hope you get one soon 😈

[@BNLNRD]

I really enjoy this. I'm planning to make a couple tutorial vids myself and while looking around for a sensible framing of the video I came to the conclusion that you pretty much nailed it.

[@producedbychloerose]

thank you so much!! i’ll be on the lookout for your videos ☺️

[@teabreakbeats]

we send our condolences

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

I am a "chronic over-saver", this hit me right in the feels! 👊 Really love your editing style and commentary - SUBBED!

[@producedbychloerose]

i wish i was a chronic over-saver ;_; thanks for the support!!!

[@aquaticnuke]

Lmfao I know this feeling. The sound fx and all come to mind everytime something like this happens

funeral services this thursday at 9/8c on nickolodeon 😔🙏

[@ComsiCaterpillar]

This synth is taking me sometime to learn. I usually do scratch built drums on Modular and am proficient with Nanoloop Mono . . . but I'm new to tracker. . . what a learning curve :/

[@producedbychloerose]

it’s hard!! people say it’s like making music on a spreadsheet and they’re totally right.

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Very interesting to see your progress, even if you lost this project. Been GASing hard over the M8 since I found out it existed, but I'm in Norway, so shipping and import tax is wayyy too expensive, unfortunately... Kinda hoping for one to show up on the used market (Sorry Trash80!).

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

Shout out Chloe

[@nikolafeve]

Love how you edit your videos. It could be great to have a real feedback of the screen to learn more about your techniques

[@producedbychloerose]

thank you!! you’re right, i’ve just been lazy 😛 the next one will definitely have a screen recording!

[@nikolafeve]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your creative process 🙏🏻 M8 is an amazing device

[@XuongTranTrieu]

Haha, I tend to enter your video just to listen while doing other thing, but got stick till the end of the video. It was such a sad ending :( But good content though, great, amazing content I admit I'm still looking around for learning M8 via videos like yours, and I got this question poped out while watching your video. Is there anyway that you can enter a note between 2 steps on that 16 steps of a phrase? I can see myself try to do it in many use cases.

[@producedbychloerose]

haha, sorry for trapping you 😜 do you mean, like, putting in 32nd notes? you can do that in a couple of ways. the easiest is to use retrigger for that classic trap snare sort of effect. if you need tighter control than that, you can change the “groove” of the phrase so that each step is a 32nd note instead of a 16th note. then you can do whatever crazy programming you want, with the downside being that you’ll use twice as many phrases to fill the same amount of space.

[@XuongTranTrieu]

@@producedbychloerose wow, so it's totally possible to put the 32nd notes!! this tracker os crazily good! And please keep trapping me with your M8, I'm so on love with it right now 🥹

[@jjurksztowicz]

Damn, sucks. I've never had a single crash in almost two years on m8. I have good luck or you have bad luck :(

[@producedbychloerose]

it never happened to me either before the update! it’s probably just an edge case that slipped through-i’m sure a subsequent update will fix it 🙏

[@DJDiskmachine]

Sorry for your loss. Dope track tho, i pour one out for it 🍼

[@jonwtr]

Ouch. I haven't had a crash either, in any of the versions beta or not. Wish you had some of my anxiety of losing stuff, i save too often.😂 Now go backup that sd card. And backup that backup ... ♻️ , save that backup in the cloud on a server in a different part of the world.

[@producedbychloerose]

oh don’t worry i’m saving every 5 minutes now 😵‍💫

[@jonwtr]

@@producedbychloerose in some software I know prone to crash i tap ctrl+s every few minutes automatically, but of course, the one time you forget is always when the crash happens... 😂

[@sarundayo]

U were not ABLE-ton save your magnus-opus 😢

[@paulcollins6961]

NO NO NO.LOL NO MORE TECH PLS..
