Re: Should I pro sound mod? (7 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
It's pretty simple, just be sure to read about making proper solder joints. The contacts are tiny, and there's not much room for error. Make sure you have a good clean tinned tip on your iron.

Re: Re: Limitation (189 replies, posted in General Discussion)
But....
Why do we talk so much about limitations? Is it just a way to conceptualize what we do and make it legit for outsiders? Since every instrument has its limitations, why are we so eager to emphasize this with our instruments, when others prefer to talk about potentials instead of limitations with their tools?
Trackers give more control and are fast to work with, especially the ones not based on samples. The low amount of waveforms and polyphony is maybe just the price you have to pay for this mega-luxury?
Celebrate!
This is exactly what I was thinking. I don't play the guitar to celebrate limitations. It's a whole package. I do agree that when someone enquires as to why I would make chip music, it seems like a good answer to say, "I like working with the limitations." But I don't really think that's true. Or like the way people want you explain any art to them. "What does it mean?" What do victorian-style houses mean? I dunno. Whatever, just imo.
Just to clairify tho, working with limits can be a fun exercise.

Is there going to be a specific format(nsf,it,xm), or just a loose guideline?

Re: Re: Limitation (189 replies, posted in General Discussion)
BTW, the same argument could be applied to acoustic guitar players. Are they in it for the limitations?
Exactly. The lack of limitations given by a DAW is a far weirder thing than the limitation of lsdj etc...ya know?
I don't know why other people make or listen to this shit. But there is definitely an aesthetic created these limits. Initially the fast arpeggios of chip music were just a necessity..but now people kind of expect it to some degree. The aesthetic can be emulated though.
