I know some people will shout fakebit now. Please do (I'd like to know how many people will). This is a kind of music I want to make though and I'd like constructive criticism of people who have no problem with this kind of approach.

I don't know that anyone is shouting "FAKEBIT!" these days. Everyone I've ever talked to in the chip community has never said anything negative about people who choose modern DAWs over chip trackers. EDIT: (forgot to add this) If you're making the music you want to make then fuck what anyone else thinks.

A very chill track, I like it.

Pieces of Eight: I'm using a few of the JS effects, namely LOSER/stereo to widen the drums a bit, Filters/lowpass for the filter sweep in the beginning (though it is not behaving well, might find an alternative) and Filters/sweepinglowpass for the second bass line. ReaComp and ReaEQ are being used on some tracks as well as the master and I'm using Rob Papen RP-Delay and Reverberate, two VSTs I bought when they were significantly discounted on a few of the tracks, too.

On the subject of Reaper, what effects are you using?  I'm currently using Reaper as well, but never get a chance to 'talk shop' with other users.  Whatever you're utilizing, you're doing pretty well with.

Thanks!

i dont think that you need to draw attention to yourself by trying to draw people in with the silly fakebit argument.

I've made a new track that I'd really like some constructive criticism for. All sounds were created in Nanoloop on the Game Boy and arranged and effects were added in Reaper.

P.S.: I've had the same problems as with the last track that 120 bpm in Nanoloop don't mean 120 bpm when recorded necessarily. Depending on the Pattern I recorded the results were all different lengths and I had to time stretch them to get them to line up. Is the USB to Link Cable adapter sold on the Nanoloop site a good idea to get a cheap MIDI clock solution or will an Arduinoboy be my weapon of choice?
