these guys are trying to make you feel better, but truthfully you should be *ashamed!* It is well known that music is only done in one manner.

haha ok. I just don't have the patience for lsdj when I could be making epic music in reason. I loooooooove reason I spend hrs on it. I also spent hrs on lsdj... and failed miserably. Props to people who can use it tho.

Lsdj isn't gay, and it does have a little bit of a small learning curve but using a DAW like reason is fine, propably sounds better than alot of stuff we do.

dude... I know just how you feel... I understand how to use DAWs and a lot of other trackers...but I have a lot of trouble with LSDJ just trying to get the exact tone... it gets even worse because I will then go back and decide I don't like the way it sounds shortly before wiping the chains and patterns...

i would still call it chipmusic, but i just want you to know that you are taking us down a dangerous slippery slope here.
next thing you know, people will start making music with their freaking SEGA MEGADRIVES and start calling it chip.

UNLESS IT COMES FROM A REAL GAMEBOY ITS NOT A REAL CHIPTUNE

Really the only difference i think is that people with a DAW go over the top with the effects. The only effects I use are EQ's and a scream 4 distortion unit to make the drums sound nice and chippy. But I don't believe in using delay or anything. It's not chiptune then. Thats just a prefrence though

Just avoid using defaults and presets (unless they're completely transparent) and you're good. Play with the sounds! And don't listen to Spotts, analog delay + chip sounds = dreamy.

Well you know what I mean, digital delay and the like. Reverb and stuff. I don't know, I'm some what of a purist, I guess. Lol

if you're looking for justification (especially from other musicians) in your creative methods then you're making music for the wrong purposes IMO. if you love reason make music in reason, lots of people do it

haha yeah, I did contradict myself there. And i don't know, I've always been interested in chip music, just started making it and had a lot of fun with it. But it seems like everyone uses lsdj, and if you don't its like shame, shame. That might just be me though.
