So, this is an EP of my frist 5 songs! Tell me what you think and what song is your favourite? Anyone maybe got any tips and tricks for making Chiptunes and 8bit music?

Link to the EP!

Great work !

I can't give you any technical tricks because I have yet to make chiptune myself (yeah, I know). However, from a listening point, I think the songs are too similar in sound. You should try experimenting more with the square channels instruments.

I also think the weakest song is En dag på stan. I really didn't care much about it. Galenskapen's not my favorite, but I think it has something poweful that ends the EP pretty well.

Retuscherad has a cool Anamanaguchi feeling to it. It's kind of like a cool summer walk in the city.

My favorite has to be the opening track, Lyckan. The melody really gets stuck in my head. It's catchy and simple. I really get why you put Kola och Twix but I'll go back to my first point : they sound way too similar to one another. Aside from the vibrato, I could easily mistake parts of it in being the same song.

Thanks mate! Yeah, that's why I'm stuck right now, I try to figure out new sounds and so on! But I think I'm onto something right now, actually making some music while I'm writing this! smile I'm really grateful for your thoughts and since I've only been doing this for one month I think I will keep learning new methods on doing music and sounds!

En dag på stan is also not my favourite track, it feels like more of an interlude and I put it there just like a breaking point between the two last songs! smile

PS. Retuscherad is Swedish and translates to Airbrushed, which is an Anamanaguchi song! big_smile

I must say I'm quite amazed to know you've only been doing this for a month ! Keep it up !

PS : I'm also shocked to know the Anamanaguchi feeling was intentional and actually hidden in the song name !
