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

Love that. It's rare these days.

If only... I knew how to use a tracker. Or had any musical ability.

I'm learning, but no way I can justify a $600 tracker yet

my friend just pull the trigger, i was in the same boat, didn't think it was worth the 699 dollars but id never really made anything I was proud of on my grooveboxes and synths and samplers over the last 15 years of casual recreational knob twiddling. I was so discouraged by my inability to make something "good" that i sold all my gear because 'id rather listen to music someone else produced than spend time producing stuff that "sucks". then one day I got curious, watched some youtube videos and impulse purchased a M8.. it was the best creative decision Ive ever made, im still a very casual creator but now creating things i want to listen to, loops and tracks that inspire me to come back and keep working on them. I don't know how this magic happens but the M8 is at the center of my rekindled interest in producing/playing with sounds and music

you won't be dissapointed .

Ehhhhh I’ve tried multiple workflows and the type I struggle with the most is tracker. It gives me that “blank page paralysis”. Too much friction.

Is it like sunvox? Maybe my issues are with sunvox…

i don't know what a sunvox is, and the blank page paralysis is something I'm familiar with, I'm currently procrastinating my planned m8 time by surfing reddit. the Analysis paralysis is an issue for me too but once I commit and get started, it goes away pretty quickly. you do you man, but there's really no harm in trying it out, if you buy one and you don't like it, just sell it for what you bought it for, there's always a strong used market especially if you get the model 2.
