Dibs on Harribit the Spy as chiptune artist name

Start by lurking on streets and park benches with a notepad, writing down what you notice. Then, lock yourself in a room and turn off the lights, and wait for your inner feelings to become so powerful.. they become a weapon. Use that weapon to get your message across. Shout that message from atop a mountain..

Think of something to write about first. It really doesn't matter what happens next. As long as it makes sense to you, surely someone else out there will get it.

Same here!

I just have tons of intros on my lsdj cart and keep making new ones

I don't exactly make "good" chiptune but I do it once in a while anyway, so I may not have the best advice but i'll share anyway:
I use LSDJ on the Gameboy, it's what I prefer. I actually prefer to put together a drum beat / percussion first, then tinker with that until I have at least a couple of workable sequences together, then just build from there. More often than not I go next to conjuring some kind of bassline, then just experiment and create the rest from there.

I don't know, perhaps the order in which you create all of the elements of your song matters. I for example really can't come up with a melody or lead first and work the other way. Apparently, the real key is experimentation, and lots of it. It's neat to just keep things and see it slowly fall together.

now I'm curious

"How to write a chiptune song?"

Do it.

You just find what system you want to work with, pick a good melody, and run with it.

You have no constraints when making music. Do whatever the fuck you want man.

If you can't/want use the original hardware: Find out the specifications for the chip you want your song sound like (i.e.: maximal number of channels, waveforms available, bit depth). Then try to stay within these limitations with the electronic sound generators/sample-based tracker you have.
For example: If you want to create an amiga tracker tune, use four/eight sounds at once (max.) with 8/4 bit resolution.

Really agreeing with that, even if you can't get yor voice in tune or you don't know how to sing, it is a good idea to carry a keyboard or synthesizer app in your device, if you don't have a gameboy to get the truly chiptune sound (duh)

But to compose chiptune, and music in general, you may also check the major and minor chords in priority, because those are the most used, add pretty cool and beauty ornaments and create your own atmosphere and concept of sounds, if you wanna be a more experimental-ish musician, but still being with the major and minor chords (not using noises and woooooobbbbbbles and ambient sounds) you should learn about the other types of chords: 7, add9, sus4, that create a more developed sound and a more consistent atmosphere.

If you want, check many chiptuners' soundcloud or their tracks in cm.o (my music too, as you wish) and check out melodies, samples, movements and dymamics, is a hard job if you want to get a good and satisfying sound. Thanks
