hey everyone
I'm mint from australia. I'm more of a huge fan than a producer myself, although i did try once or twice (and i'll probably keep trying).
In fact, I'm really into design and VJ and demoscene, I make stuff like this and this. I get the impression there's some overlap between all these cultures and 8bit.
I spend a lot of my free time messing around with design, making these visualizations; I also started a channel just for fun, as it combines some of these interests. I like to put chip songs on there that appeal to me, particularly if they're kind of unusual (eg Within). To that end, I'm trying to get myself more involved in the community at the moment, so hello
Ahoy matey! Welcome aboard. Seems like you have some nice art to bring to the table. I saw you posted some of Malmen's songs. He is very skilled with audio mixing and mastering. His music sounds professionally mixed.
I thought your attempts at OpenMPT were actually pretty good. I could see you becoming a skilled chipist. You can actually custom make simple wave forms using OpenMPT. Squares, Triangle waves, Sawtooth, etc. It is pretty popular for making chiptunes, and there are conversion modules which can convert the tracker file to actual game system data. Example, you can convert an OpenMPT file to a file that will play on an actual NES, or Sega Genesis, etc. But you have to follow certain guidelines and limitations to do it right.
It's a lot of fun, and there's a lot more options than just OpenMPT, which I think is one of the more challenging trackers to learn. But that's my opinion. To some people, it's second nature.
Good to meet ya, though!
