So where do you get the right kind of screwdriver for the dmg style carts? What are they called?

Is it worth having these self-imposed limitations if everyone's music starts to sound as though the same person made it?

Yeah I don't think you listen to amateur rock or edm or any other forums for people who are still learning XYZ genre. A lot of amateur stuff sounds the same. It's has nothing to do with the platform and mostly everything to do with 2 factors:

- limited skillset of the "artist"
- imitating whatever is popular
.

Every platform leaves an imprint in the final product...certainly that has something to do with it.

I began to develop a love for 8bit wave forms because they are just so raw, yet clear and sharp.

Absolutely. I spend a LOT of time looking at the waveforms. They're very nice, especially when they come from real hardware.

Do you think limitation is a reason you do chip?

Not really limitation, but simplicity. I think of it as being an appreciation of hardware. Whether you get it from a VST or a c64, it's about digital hardware. These sounds would not be created by someone with no knowledge of the hardware. The medium itself is a message.

You would love the intro to this song. They play modem startup, then mimic it on their instruments.

Thanks guys. Yeah it seems there are two components that stick way up, the battery thing, and the big capacitor. I'm pretty sure I've read about someone doing it, but not sure where it was. I'll keep poking around too.

cool, thanks. im just curious how one goes about using a comodore 64 for 8 bit music. i dont like being completely ignorant about things.

There are very good hardware carts that make it pretty easy, as smendrick said. Mssiah is very nice. Other than that, you just buy a c64, and a disk drive and read the manual. Then you could use any tracker you want. You can use the synthesizer right from the commmand line, which is fun. But probably you'll end up using someone else's software.

Ummm... any of the myriad of chip hardware available. Or you could use a sampler and some midi controllers.

Has anyone done this? Put an EMS 64 in a normal GB cart? My cart is all warped, so I have to jiggle it to get the contacts to touch. Sucks.

I'm down. let's do eet!

8BC was closed, ostensibly for improper zoning usage. At the time, the event was widely rumored to have been prompted by the then-new nightclub the Palladium, whose owners had approached Conboy and Gattra about programming the Palladium's Michael Todd Room. The closure made the front page of the New York Times.
