In this thread, someone insults Bit Shifter, then someone else tells 4mat he missed the point of chipmusic.

I don't know, the parts I quoted seemed pretty clear to me. If you don't think that trackers are very mathematical, saying that they are is a pretty clumsy way of expressing it.

I'm talking from a purely logistical POV, you're suggesting the guy buys X amount of hardware, some of which requires assembly, just to see if he likes writing chipmusic? as opposed to giving him a far easier point of entry he can start from which has all the aesthetics of the medium. that is the real point of the scene: the aesthetics. It's nothing to do with hardware or software and absoluitely nothing to do with jumping about holding a gameboy in front of some flashing backdrops.

A+++
Vst's are a great gateway drug into more complicated (and expensive) stuff like hardware.
I started by using fl studio and the magical8bit plugin and then transitioned into using an actual gameboy once I had figured out how comfortable I was with those sounds. I feel like things worked out pretty well.

sorry. i think the best way to get into chip music is with a free tracker. that way, you can get free sounds and you can look at how songs are built. figuring out song structure from scratch can be very difficult. you can also see what wav forms look like and how different fx effect them.
