Damn… have to come back and say I love this new one even more second listen. I feel like a massive strength of yours is in messing with song structure in interesting ways.
Anyone who hasn’t yet and wants a bit of inspiration, go through Orange Drink’s Octatrack stuff
2 years ago I tried to do the WB. I managed to get 6 tracks in using the M8, but I liked the concept a lot. I was looking here for Some info about my machinedrum that I dusted off, saw this thread… long story short… I uploaded a machinedrum only track yesterday for week 2. So sad i missed week 1, I hope to get the other 50 in this year. Maybe I do all machinedrum… so much fun.
So nice to see you here Orange Drink, I remember your video from WB 2024 - still only managed to do 4 songs tho.
Decided to try it one more time this year, gifted myself a Digitone 2 at Christmas and will try to do all tracks for the year only using this machine : I guess that’s the fastest way to master it
First Elektron device, too and this thread decided me to join Elektronauts for good!
Having only a week to get something out really encourages you to discover and lean on the things the DN does best rather than trying to forcing it into any preconceptions. It’s a box that’s easier to approach as a collaboration partner than a dictator. Plenty of time to get bossy with it later with more knowledge and time
Though also: definitely give yourself permission to break out and use something else when you need to. Better to keep your weekly flow going than to skip because you’re burnt out on a device/style/whatever.
I did a machinedrum track. I think i will stick to the machinedrum this year for all entry’s (Don’t pin me down on it) So this is my first attempt with the new firmware and after a looooong time not using it. 1 bar, 1 pattern. Live tweaking…
It’s that time of year again! 
Doesn’t have to be good; just has to be done!
