It works for what I need it for and that's it! smile Thanks for all the feedback

Oh and dan c, I use Cubase not FL Studio.

Well said, it always comes down to the musician and not the software he uses.

I used several different chips, but you can be sure they are legit 8-bit and 16-bit chips.

The idea of the music is more about the arrangements, the melodies & the progressions. It's more about bringing the vibe of classic videogame soundscapes rather than trying too hard to sound like it came straight out of a Sega Megadrive.

LOL gave it another listen.  I think you're full of it, or else you would have actually said what you used instead of LEGITCHIPS.

This doesn't at all take away from the music but I'm starting to question your character.  My money is on FLStudio

I'm curious, what chips? What systems?

With that said, I appreciate your honest opinions. I felt like this was a good place to post it up since 8-bit music typically came from the games we all used to love and play, right? wink

This don't really make me think of VGM at all (no offense) but I guess there's very few things about this that would be considered "chip" or "videogame" related if you ask me. Then again, there's a very fine line between what's considered to be VGM and what's considered to be electronic music. Composition-wise I'm very impressed though. Cheers
