			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Calavera says:</i></b><p>I would maybe add some variation, particularly in your bass synth. Maybe give it some different progressions rather then it&#039;s normal &#039;up, then down&#039; repetition. Also perhaps consider some sort of bridge section towards the end to break things up a bit.</p><p>Nice work with the wobbly lead melodies making it feel &#039;ghostly&#039;.<br />Also greetz from Melbourne <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Panda Chan says:</i></b><p>Haha &quot;local&quot;... well, I&#039;m still pretty far away <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /> but there are heaps of guys on the mainland doing this stuff man! <br />As for LSDJ or Nanoloop, depends what you want really. I personally find it a lot easier to use LSDJ musically, although I haven&#039;t had too much experience with Nanoloop... Nanoloop is pretty cool for jamming though! So, all depends what you want really <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /> and what&#039;s more accessible.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Mosster_3 says:</i></b><p>Thanks Guys! I now know what i need to do and what i need to not do which is great. To make it i used FL studio (because i come from house music) and a bunch of plugins, mainly Bleep&#039; and 38911bytes (original yellow version). I do have an original Gameboy but I don&#039;t have LSDJ or nanoloop. And I see your from Australia too Panda Chan <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /> , good to know there&#039;s locals around that do this stuff as well. But which one do you think I should get LSDJ or nanoloop, I have a fair bit of experience with nanoloop and squat with LSDJ.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;-Peace out, Mosster_3 <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Panda Chan says:</i></b><p>I agree with rvan in that it didn&#039;t sound particularly chip to me, probably because I&#039;m so used to LSDJ as well... <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /> What did you use to make it?!<br />This is pretty good! However, I found it hard to distinguish the different parts, I mean, towards the beginning the melody and the bass clashed a little bit, but that might have been what you are after. <br />One other thing is that it was quite monotonous, which is cool in it&#039;s own way, but it probably wouldn&#039;t hurt to add in a few fills and extra little hooks and things just to keep people listening. Apart from that, this is cool! Keep it up. <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>rvan says:</i></b><p>I like how this has structure and progression to it, and that it clearly tells a story.&nbsp; I feel it would benefit from building more slowly than it does, especially towards the start, and the whole piece almost feels a bit rushed. Your sound design has a &#039;hollow&#039; feel to me; in a way this is fitting; in another way, I&#039;d like to have a sense of a bit more background or context behind the characters/voices.&nbsp; The instrumentation doesn&#039;t have an especially &#039;chip&#039; feel to me, but this isn&#039;t necessarily a bad thing, and might simply be because I&#039;m most familiar with the sound of LSDJ, and this doesn&#039;t sound like LSDJ to me.&nbsp; I&#039;d also like to know a bit more about your production, and I feel that this is something that the chip music community in general often appreciates.</p><p>I realize this has ended up being quite an abstract criticism; I hope it&#039;s helpful.</p>]]></description>
