(Well, at least the more "Internet-compatible" ones.) Other places I keep tabs on include emportal.info for 70s flavor analog synth music; spacesynth.net for the kind of stuff you may remember from Laserdance and Koto… No idea about house or ambient specifically though, sorry OP.

This is so on point. I feel like this site has its downsides and stuff but it honestly feels like everyone is in one big band other times.

But I probably feel that way because I'm hella into chipmusic.

I was thinking about putting some of my music in the constructive criticism or releases section and marking it "non-chipmusic" but I wasn't sure how well that would be recieved.

And does guitar/bass/piano/drum/vocals and other classical/traditional instrument stuff fall under the other hardware section?

Maybe the moderators should think about making a "non-chipmusic", " foxhole", "in your life/opinion" or "other interests" section or something? I don't want to bog down the site with a bunch of nonsense but my personal interests have always been more than just chipmusic.

I know for a fact that there are people besides myself on here that make music other than chipmusic and I do value the people on here's opinion more than those from most other forums.

I know this is chipmusic.org and was made to talk about chipmusic but I think talking about other types of music and stuff would be interesting and inspiring.

I know that you guys listen to/know what other genres of music I'm trying to write. The opinion of the chipmusic community is just more valuable to me.

I played crossroads and some other stuff without getting booed off the stage. I did so well that when I asked if I could play original music and lead everyone else during a few songs in the jam next week the powers that be gave me the go ahead. So I'm going to try to put together at least one blues style song that uses a Game Boy probably utilizing Nerdrix or LSDJ. Hopefully I can figure it all out in a week otherwise I'll just be playing some typical old school blues on the guit or slide guit.

That being said, I'd recommend spending some time on the forums for your DAW/tracker/whatever; on diy musician communities, etc.

Add me on facebook and I'll invite you to the Electronic Musician's Group on facebook, we talk and do compos and stuff, maybe you'll be interested in that?

SurfaceDragon you could play some blues with it wink

Good thing I have other places to vent my other interests like the live blues jam at a local golf clubhouse that I'll be playing my guitar at tonight.

I think if I brought my DMG to the blues jam the people there wouldn't see it as a serious instrument like I do and I'd have to do something really awesome with it to not get booed off the stage.

i have lots of interests besides chip, but talking about them isn't really what this site is for, you know?

you could try the newgrounds audio forum. there's a lot of cringeworthy shit on there from random kids who pick up a cracked copy of FL or live and want to make "beats", but the regulars are mostly pretty cool though.

It's been quite a while since I've visited these forums. I have been experimenting with lots of different types of music and I have kind of put chiptune on the back burner. I was wondering if you guys visit any other music communities/forums/subreddits whatever for other genres of music. I've really been into ambient music and house music. All my sessions have been coming out sounding like they belong on a street racing game on the PS2. I was wondering if there was a place to chat with other cats about this type of stuff. Thanks:)
