THANK UUUUU

@@RedMeansRecording YOOO COLLAB ALBUM WHEN (I CAN"T TAG ANDREW IN THE SAME MESSAGE :C)
next 4 producers needs jeremy rockin this tbh. would be wild
Hey Andrew, create some music with this as well!
"if I have time to play a video game or browse my phone, I play with the M8 instead."
Wow stealing this. Great idea.
Love it already. The only problem is that you and your talent make any device look and sound so cool, that you probably might sell me a lawnmower, while I don't even have a lawn. Really inspiring. Can't wait to hear your new album! ❤️
You can always sample the lawnmower sounds into the m8 though
Watching his videos on the OP-1 makes me want to buy one, despite my lack of talent to make music.
@@taylorhickman84 OP-1 might be an overkill and a bit tricky for the beginner. I'd suggest to start with something simple like MIDI controller and a DAW. And you are totally okay to sound terrible or great, talented or not. Music is about your own adventure, so just enjoy it. ✌️
@@evwanders I absolutely agree, apart for the the part where you say a DAW is easy. The amount of options in a DAW can be daunting. That is why I personally prefer hardware because the limitation facilitates the creative juices🧃🤖.
@@sambeard4428 True, but you don't have to dig into everything all at once. You can start with the very basics, like watching 5-minutes guide on youtube.
I've been using DAWs for few years and I think I still haven't learned even half of what any DAW has to offer, but I know enough for me to start jamming whenever I want and come up with a track. And I always learn something new only the moment I need it. For me this rule applies to anything I do, like filming and editing.
I remember thinking DAWs were hard back in the days too, but as soon as I figured out how to connect and setup the controller I was already in it.
And yes, hardware is super fun still! I currently jam with my volca sample 2 and it is pretty limited yet simple. And it is exciting trying to figure out the ways to get around the limitations. It's always an adventure. 😍
Much respect for bringing the hype and discouraging buying from scalpers. It's absolutely worth the wait and worth supporting the one-man team who is making this magic happen. Every dollar counts for keeping it alive :) cheers!!
I want more time in this world to learn this. Gotta play FTL though in my off time. Thanks for the video, music is outstanding!
Thank you so much ♥️🎵
FTL is one of my all time favs! Check out their other game “Into the Breach” if you haven’t.
FTL is great game with a great sound track.
As someone who started playing FTL just yesterday and only found this device today, I feel your pain brother.
As an active LSDj creator, this looks amazing. It's everything I love about Little Sound DJ and the Gameboy all grown up into a modernized synthesizer.
M8 is the most inspiring music device I currently own. I've made 17 full tracks on it so far, and the goal is to use it as exclusively as possible for each weekly beat this year. Thanks for showing it to the wider world, as it absolutely deserves it! 👏
Hell yeah weeklybeats!
Did you know how to use trackers before accuiring the m8?
@@va941 I did, but I've heard from quite a few people who started tracking with m8 and picked it up fairly quick. What makes you ask?
@@ModalModule just that. Never used a tracker myself. Just flstudio an from that to the mpc1...and this device looks so intruiging and sweet, but the "operating system" ( probably ment UI rather than OS...just goes to show my lack of knowledge on techy stuff 😅)feels daunting to say the least...so just trying to get opinions on the learning curve before I make the plunge...should really just try a tracker software out and find out how I gel with it.
@@va941 highly recommend, and if you get used to lsdj (tracker for Gameboy, can run on emulators like bgb), it's very very similar to that. 👍
This was an excellent intro to the M8, great little track you made in the process too. Stellar work as always!
Just got mine the other day. So glad I was able to snag one, having an absolute blast learning it!
So happy that you did a video on this. Can’t wait to hear the album! I’m even happier that I preordered mine a couple of weeks ago, before you released this video. You know, before the influx of sales due to this. You have a way of convincing people they need something. You’re the reason I own a Deluge!
Thanks for making and sharing this review. I had not come across the M8 but it looks wonderfully fun: very tempting.
Love this video, especially cause it’s reminding me that I really, really need to spend more time with my m8. I’m glad you got one, even more that you made a video and album with it. Truly believe this device is one of the coolest under the radar kits of 2021. So glad to see you featuring it and asking people to support Trash80 for pouring his heart and soul into the project.
Oh hell yes I’m glad you have one of these to communicate it. Since watching M8 early adopters the last few years, every time I see a clip there’s always interesting sounds coming out of one. Very excited
Really nice tune at the start. Got my m8 the other week and it still boggles my mind. Best workflow out of anything I've used, computer included.
I love these physical applications of trackers! A music tool that founded the digital music making, moving away from the computer itself! Absolutely gorgeous little thing.
Yey! Jeremy . 24 mins go so fast showing the M8, as someone who has made a few intro to m8 videos you have explained it very well, so easy to get sidetracked and talk about tables or nuances of NTH. All of us M8 users are excited to see it on your channel, love that you been making an album on it!
God. Yeah. Tables. I haven't even really figured those out yet in a way worth changing about.
Red, holy moly you never disappoint in your videos! You truly are an inspiration! Great video and I cant wait for the album drop!
m8 is my favourite piece of gear I've ever used now. had it since September. it's a thing of beauty ♥️
great video Jeremy, & nice one for the anti-scalper shout out 👍
Preordered! Trackers have a very special place in my heart and I love seeing a one-person passion project
Got mine back in October and I’m blown away by how powerful this tiny little thing is. I’m hoping to get another to mix between with my crossfader mixer.
Ugh I love this thing. I would happily just watch more videos of you building songs on this
This is exactly the info I needed to get me going when I pick up my M8 tomorrow(from a non-scalper).
it's impossible to not come away from your instrument exploration videos without wanting to also own one. A real testament to your musicality and ability to distil these often odd collections of knobs and buttons into emotive objects.
so cool! I've been eyeing the polyend tracker for a while, def gonna look into this one a bit more before deciding what to get
I've had the M8 for months and I love it. The creator and the testers are all scenesters and this really feels like a device by us, for us. Even if supply chain issues hold things up, it is definitely worth the wait.

As someone who's been really into LSDJ, this little thing is blowing my mind. The interface is *exactly the same*, just with SO MANY MORE OPTIONS. Great review, great primer for the platform, and fantastic tune at the end.
Oh man. I came here to comment this. It reminded me of LSDJ sooo much.
The first thing that strikes me about this device is the wonderful user interface design. I haven’t touched a tracker since Octamed on my friends Amiga he leant me in the 90’s but this is very tempting. The approach of using this instead of browsing/scrolling some app on a mobile is very appealing indeed. A truly portable, usable, but above all fun music making device on the go! Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh hey thanks for showing this off. I used to listen to Tim's music around the days he did Darwinia, and it's great to see he's up to something so fantastic right now. I wanna support what he's got going on, especially since it seems really fantastic.
Wait... this is Trash80? Wow.... i love that soundtrack!
I have no words. The interface, keys... what a wonderful way to navigate a tracker. And THAT SYNTH ENGINE! I want one, I guess there's more tracker standard stuff in it to love too, but this thing has so many new cool ways to do it. Having worked with the old trackers this is jaw-dropping!
Duuuude every track you show is gorgeous. Its a gem to my ears, nice vid.
I had to pause and rewind a lot to follow the first part of this until I got more of the hang of the keys and key combos, but I learned a bunch. Thanks!
I ordered a M8 with no meaningful experience with trackers, so I'm really glad that you did a vid on this! It sounds awesome in your hands too
Same here. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you Jeremy for yet another great video! This is one channel that never disappoints.
New stock came in today! Very excited to get my hands on one finally .
man, your videos are always dope af and the music is fantastic. thanks for the share
Always loved the tracker workflow, this looks like if ReNoise was a portable machine with the UI minimalism of smth like ORCA by 100 rabbits. You can also feel how fun the process is just by watching you move around the menus. Honestly the process seems to be just so nice and playful, compared to dealing with any other portable sound machine ive seen so far. The "hands on" part looks awesome too. Thank you for showing it!
yep, Renoise is really nice but making music on a laptop is just not for me, I'm hoping to buy the m8 soon to use it as a portable tracker. I'm familiar with lsdj so it shouldn't take that long to learn the basics^^
got one of these on the way arriving the next few days and can't freakin wait
I'm so excited you picked one up! I hope Tim gets more business, bc the m8 is an amazing tool, especially for the price! Glad it could inspire you like it has those of us who got to get ones early! ❤️
The spirit of Amiga has reincarnated again.
⚜️x🤘🏻x⚜️
I love *love* how much this leaned into the UI design of LSDJ, but through a modern construction. For people with experience on the gameboy, this is gonna feel so familiar just with new added bells and whistles.
I totally feel that. Haven't tinkered with LSDJ for awhile but some of that interface seemed nostalgic for this reason.
@@ReavoEnd same, had LSDJ for some years now but never got that into chiptune. interface is like relearning a sport you did years ago^^
Been watching this project for awhile. Really cool instrument that is more reliable than an old gameboy!
Really cool. My M8 order shipped today! 2 months before I expected it. Exciting
I've had mine for a few months and am still learning its finer details. It has a steep learning curve but once you hit the "aha" moment it will blow your mind! 11/10 work of pure genius.
I honestly didn't find the learning curve steep at all... except for tables which I still haven't fully got my head around. But the kind of music I make doesn't really require them 🙂
I love everything about this to bits!
Great video! Loved the music you made in this.
Been absolutely 12 year old about it for months. This is a magic machine. Great demo btw, loved the loop.
Great video man (and you're already flying around this thing!), so glad you got one of these sent to you! I am looking forward to hear what you come up with.
I just got my M8 2 days ago... I ordered a couple of months ago, but it was worth the wait... this thing is mind blowing, and the interface is so intuitive!
Today I sat in the park playing with it for almost 2 hours (and hell man, the time went so quick!), and I didn't feel like a total douche... using the Deluge or OP-1 in public still draws too much attention for my liking... using the M8 just looks like someone using their phone or something... so I like that! Stealth beat making!
Its interesting that my two favourite devices (Deluge and now M8) are both designed by individual people, not big companies... it really says a lot, and for me proves that the old phrase "too many cooks spoil the broth" is very true!
Thanks for this video! Such a wonderful demonstration of the M8. I’ve been using LSDJ on and off for about 15 years and it seems like the M8 really takes what was great about LSDJ and I’m very excited about it. Just got an order in!
yep, I'm exactly at the same position, even with the order. got lsdj some time ago even with an arduino boy and I'm really looking forward to the m8. it has everything I wish my gameboy had years ago!
Hell yeah, writing an album with it as well. Hyped to see what you make on it.
Have mine shipped out and getting here super soon, so damn excited
Great song and walk through! Excited to hear your album when it is done......When I ordered the m8 I thought it would pair nicely with the blackbox, op-z, and lsdj and had no idea it could would be all of those things combined. Absolutely amazing is the m8.
I cannot ever imagine buying an OP1 Field instead of this tiny monster.
The only reason to get a field is the accessibility and immediate usability. I want both😭
@@traderjoes7976 I owned an M8, amazing device, you do have to work pretty hard to get the most out of it though for sure.
Just got mine yesterday and I was about to look up tutorials on it and then I see this. Thanks so much!
This is a great showcase of the m8's capabilities! Awesome vid
this thing looks awesome. the amount of menu diving i just watched you do would make me blow my head clean off.
I recently got a polyend which I'm really enjoying and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of these as well. Hardware trackers coming into vogue is probably the best thing for me in music right now.
Amazing instrument. A brilliant introduction to it. Tremendous demo track!
Great intro video! I just got one of these this week, direct order from Dirtywave. As a rule I never buy from scalpers. I just subscribed to the mailing list and jumped as soon as an announced batch for sale came up. Due to the surprise demand, I think it is possible to preorder now. It is going to take a while to get going.
I very much like your comments about how time spent gaming can be spent making music instead. I am very guilty of that, especially long computer RPGs.
I have no idea what you're doing, I'm just blown away how fast you created some great tunes.
I think there's never been a video that hyped me more than this one
This is just awesome!
Device and working process show off too!
Whish I had one of this so much!
👍👍
Yes! Tim is brilliant. It’s nice to see M8 get covered like this. I have been a user since the beta units went out. I made a few videos about it in the beginning but this is much more comprehensive and educational. Great stuff as always!
Thanks , always engaging your videos , appreciate the hard work.
You probably know that but, at around 7:54, to get to the FX settings, you can just go down two times from the Instrument page, no need to go left 😊 (I'm a noob at m8). Thanks so much for that video! Great intro, and great for the community at large. Cheers.
Love the idea of carrying this around & make music on the go instead of wasting time on your phone. Great demo too
The track at the end is sooooo awesome. Nice work on an nice device ;)
Just preordered mine. I can’t wait!
i accidentally got my hand over LSDJ last year and M8 looks like a modern Little Sound DJ on steroids. thanks for a great overview, really hope to get lucky and grab an M8 too 🙏
Loving Rituals. Especially Xiphoid!
Bopping all through work with this jam.
Oh man this brings back so many memories... I want this almost as much as the Teenage Engineering OP-1.
Love the video!
"if i wanna make our vocal thing here, a different thing..." f**ng genius. Since your OP-1 gold 4 years ago i'm in love.
Impressive power. What a tool! And imagining its all develop by one person!
Just dropping in to say thanks J! I’ve recently got a used M8 and your vids are very helpful. I just came to see which thumbs you use on which buttons to do shift+right 😂 Important stuff! I also manage to get in on the 02 presale yesterday 🎉
this looks so rad, thanks for the introduction!
I just got mine in the mail on my birthday last of July! I wasn't expecting it until September.
man what a sick track you made
this thing is so pretty! I love the design of the software. it seems like a very user friendly interface, if perhaps daunting because of it's complexity. It would be nice if it had more keys so you could type in hexadecimal though.
I would love one of these! great video, thanks.
I love your videos.. your music making process is so fun.
I think what I like better (so far) about the Polyend Tracker is the ability to kind of just bang the pads live. I'm sure I just need to build the muscle memory with the M8. Fantastic machine, nice walkthrough, Jeremy.
You're spot on. The main thing the Polyend has over the M8 is the grid of pads where you can bang out drum beats or play it as a synth. But the M8 is so much more portable, so it's swings and roundabouts. Overall I prefer the M8, but still use find myself using the Polyend more often
Watching your videos makes me want to get into making music. After I feel confident enough that I'll make good use of these kinds of gadgets, I'll probably buy one.
Your videos are really inspiring. Thank you!
But even if you don’t make “good” stuff it doesn’t matter. Play with this kind of stuff and have fun, low entry devices can be Pocket operators or korg volcas, like the sample 2!
This machine looks so cool to take with you on a trip, play around on it and as a bonus actually make full songs! Could definitely see myself using one in the future :)
Ohhhhhh helllllll yes!!! I missed my “in stock” email by like 4 hours and STILL can’t get one. BUT I’d much rather see what you’re doing with it until then and beyond. Thank you!!!
so happy you got one of these! can't wait to hear what you do with it.
...also, can't wait to inevitably hire you to re-explain how to make it work once I get one 🤓
Awesome! Just got mine in and haven’t really clicked with the other introductory videos out there. Leave it to RMR to pop in and save the day!
And if you want to wait out the scalpers, then the headless M8 is an option to tinker, as well.
Love it when all my favourite people end up on the same youtube page! (yes, yes, that includes you RMR)
What a great overview of this amazing machine. Bought mine a couple months ago to use while traveling on the tour bus, which I’d be doing right now had I not left my SD card in the computer at home :/
😭
I find it amazing that this device can be operated with 8 buttons. It has less buttons than a pocket operator but does so much more!
awesome video, tune and overall good to see you have fun
Amazing device, superb music 🙌
You SOaB, I was just lamenting the fact that it’s going to be months before my pre-ordered m8 arrives. Twisting the delicious knife.
Sick video! Your the main reason i ended up with an OP-1 a couple years back that i ended up flipping and going through a musical drought. Lately instead of my traditional ableton flow I've been on the search for portable or dawless music making devices and currently have the SP404MK2 which is crazy and I'm using records, cassettes, my buddies roland t8 which is hella fun and my MC707 for samples, BUT this thing looks like it might replace the MC 707 because WOW i feel like I'd get lost for hours of fun in this thing. Great vid man this thing looks awesome and I'm glad your making music and not on a switch! haha keep up the good work and inspiration my friend!
I just got mine today. You makes this look so easy 😍 . I need to keep working at it. The menu and the controls. I am not quite figuring it all out yet.
Brilliant. Always wanted this since the Octamed days.
SO many great things about this but...that waveform display is beautiful.
I love your wristband!!
This is literally INSANE, incredible sound
Not convinced it is worth it vs the polyend which seems to have superior user experience and interface.
@@superchroma how is the Polyend superior? I love my Polyend, but the M8 honestly blows it away
@@rorz999 Would you mind expanding a bit on that? I've been thinking about getting a tracker for a while now
this comes at a great time, i should be receiving mine next friday!
Man I love this so much. So much to delve into a learn. Shame the wait time is July 2022!
So cool. the tracker aspect is intimidating to me but this has everything I wish the TE Pocket Operators had. Good effects, expandable storage, and a visible UI for composing tracks
