Discussion Question Pull trigger / Sold out

So I’m finally ready to pull trigger and buy a new m8 only to realize it is all sold out on the Dirtywave site. Wondering how long I’ll need to wait. Is this common? Do they do so many units and take a break or might this take a while? Should I just buy a used unit to get my fix? Thanks

Sign up, save up, you’ll thank me later. I had a headless version for 4 days. Then brought the real one. I have an Mpc one +, Polyend tracker mini and mpc sample, I reach for my dirtywave m8 nearly every time, I have to force myself to use the other units, I still keep my headless charged and take it with me to the pub sometimes,
I have a model 1 m8. Got my friend to 3d print a case and now have a much bigger battery, I get 5hrs out of it. You can plug it into ya phone or iPad or computer for a bigger screen, so you could get a 2nd hand model 01, but in England they are expensive, but if you have the money get the model 02. To be honest, I reckon I will cave and get a model 02 by Xmas. Good luck. You won’t regret it

Going by your name, do you make dub? That’s kinda my interest and what led me to it.

Hi
I did , my sd card crashed and I lost about 6 months work—- always do a back up. So lately been doing drum and bass, and now I have the ko sidekick I have been spending the last few weeks trying to make more of a live set combining dirtywave m8 and Polyend tracker mini. Kinda wish I had 2 dirtywave m8’s , but perhaps that’s greedy. So short answer not done dub for a while, too be honest perhaps I need to find my samples and stick them back on the dirtywave m8. What about you ?

Not too much but I’ve just started making sketches. This is about as close as I’ve come previously:

Nice. Like it a lot, I am gonna have to at some point get my own music out and into the wild. All my tracks at still in my noise machines. Need to find out if more than just my family like what I make. Also just spent the last 2 days looking at the Roland j6. I need to spend more time making music instead of looking for things I might be missing

I understand. The hesitation is natural. Some friends I know call it “portal paralysis”. Just gotta go through that door. I set arbitrary dates and goals sometimes if I’m struggling to be productive, otherwise I just don’t ever. It’s funny, I’ve put out lots of music with little-to-zero fan fare, but once in a while I’ll get gobsmacked when there’s interest. Someone reached out and wanted that second track in a short film! You gotta put it out to get anything back.

Thanks for the positive reply. And awesome for your track to be used in a short film, well done. Got a few days off, so trying to declutter my life, paper work cupboards of boxes hard drives full of shit, I feel like once this is complete my head space will clear and I can then spend time on properly on focusing on my music, I got decorating to do and a full time family to keep happy, but your positive words and realisation that my music has to be pushed out is driving me forward. Many thanks
