This Handheld Tracker Is a BEAST for Chopping Breaks | Dirtywave M8

[@Screenshot1015]

Please make more M8 videos this was absolutely SICK

[@DashGlitch]

Thanks! I will definitely do some more

[@Slamagotchi]

Once you have chopped the single break up into slices you can even hover over the sample select in the instrument tab and hold edit and use the left and right keys to preview other possible samples which makes it even easier to audition.

Yassss a Dash episode on the M8!

[@yhang6155]

Im for More Content 100% !!! Jungle on the M8 is endless and its real dirty sometimes!

[@morrinsville23]

I love my M8, i learnt heaps from this!! Thanks for uploading!!

[@darudeSandstorm.]

Loving your channel bro!

[@DashGlitch]

Appreciate it!

[@Dubsteppah]

I don't think the tracker is the beast at chopping breaks, I think you're the beast my friend. So dope, just wow

[@DashGlitch]

Yo thanks man!

[@TMWSS]

Great video! The M8 is indeed a beast at chopping! I’ve always used the LFO method for dirty timestretching on the M8, so I’ll have to look at your envelope technique.

[@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii]

Dope! Don't have a M8 but applying these techniques to loops of my own music on the PE Tracker I recently traded for - really cool stuff. Also doing the granular beat stretch technique and intentionally putting the middle Position in the wrong place can lead to some very cool results for broken sounding playback.

[@DashGlitch]

Great to hear!

[@all-range-mode]

Yes! Just got one myself

[@amertrnovac975]

Awesome Vid!! Thank you very much. I am totally up for more M8 :D

[@glyph6757]

If you like this sort of thing you'd love Renoise.

[@DashGlitch]

I do

[@DJVTEK1]

cool little tracker . im using both polyend play plus and tracker mini to go nuts with the breaks

[@el9delcielo]

This thing is great for Vampire music! specially around 14:40.

[@voxmnemonic]

Great video dude! More M8 stuff please!

[@misfitsvids]

Loved that! More M8 :)

[@amazingmono]

Very cool

[@armandosalazar2016]

Love your content! I am planning to go dawless using m8 tracker to play psy trance, goa, d&b etc… could you please make more content on the m8? It would be awesome 👏🏻 ❤

[@GregVKMusic]

A South African with an M8! 😁 I was wondering if there were any in SA. (Or are you living abroad?) I've ordered one and the batch is scheduled to ship in November! Awesome video, by the way! That trick of changing between different breaks in a single phrase is magic!

[@DashGlitch]

Yea haha it's a unicorn here, but basically most synths are, the music stores here just care about guitarists so I do have to order most of the things I want from abroad. It's been relatively smooth sailing, the M8 was a breeze, shipped quickly and safely. I tend to use priority shipping when possible

Namaste Brother

[@ukbloke28]

great stuff. this is the sort of thing I'd do on machinedrum and live mangle / arrange. how possible it is to swap the breaks / chops / retrigs etc on the fly as it plays? or is this just a preprogramming sort of idea?

[@DashGlitch]

Very easy, if you swap the sample out it keep the loop in tact just switches the sounds, you can also midi control it

[@174trek]

Sesame street is my all time favourite breakbeat. Can he heard in classics such as Deep Blue - Helicopter Tune

[@TayTayMakesBeats]

MORE M8 PLEASE SIR!

[@klementus]

Can I ask a question about video editing? I was very interested in how you made the keys illuminate blue when you press them, did you highlight each press manually in the editing program?

[@DashGlitch]

No this is a touchdesigner project someone made specifically for the M8, I just screen captured it :)

[@klementus]

@@DashGlitch Thank you, it's clear now. I looked and thought: did he really highlight every click during editing, this is so much work... 😆

[@brainbox9219]

I’m trying to decide if I should see about trying this once it’s available again or getting a tracker mini, some aspects of this device seem confusing but I like that you have a lot of options, is it worth trying?

[@DashGlitch]

Absolutely, the synthesis engines are pretty deep and the sonic capabilities are crazy, it's a bit confusing but a lot of it can be bypassed with midi, sampling etc.

[@fulltang1]

Get both, easy. M8 is truly pocketable with insane synth capabilities, very unique.

[@atetraxx]

If you're not sure. Just buy a teensy for like $30. You can run it on a teensy through your computer using keyboard as controls

[@bastianbrand904]

So cool! Yes please more M8, maybe a psy track from scratch? =) Thank you!

[@The8BitHero]

What is that stand?

[@DashGlitch]

it's a laptop stand, you can get them on amazon etc, if you're in south africa I got it on takealot

[@adventureStaley]

Great vid! How is this for a TOTAL NUBE? Non MUsican. Can I figure it out?

[@DashGlitch]

it's probably a good idea to play around with renoise first (it's a software tracker) and see if it makes sense to you before investing, if you haven't had much music making experience

[@hollywood4834]

Lots of non-musicians learned on trackers back in the day

[@NaibafEtten]

you could try m8 headless, def. cheaper option to try it out and have the same functionality of the m8 but on the PC
