Not like it makes any difference, they're logging everyone's activity remember? They'll know he's there anyway.

It's best to just not start using Facebook. Like me.

Maybe it's just that their producer got a copy of Plogue Chipsounds because it sounded tight and has no idea about chipmusic and the scene.

And I could only write one tiny little cover, and I had to use an expansion. Shame on me.

Also this is great, man.

As I've said before, you could mute the melody section of the track, press play, play the melody section on your keyboard connected to your laptop controlling a sampler VST (or something similar).

That way you can feel you're not cheating the audience. Because you wouldn't be cheating your audience.



Or find a bunch of dudes who are willing to play your songs in electronic instruments, form the band, go touring.

Playing song written on famitracker in front of a live audience...what do you want to do besides pressing the play button? I have to say that I understand zan-zan on this point.

Unless you actually play it through a synthesizer with MIDI cues about when to switch between samples.

Although I think most of Zan-Zan's songs require more than 1 musician to play them live, due to their complexity.

oh god I wish I had a credit card and 5 pounds

Try BoobieSqueezer for reducing XM size. Though BoobieSqueezer works more in the instrument side of size cutting, though.

As for the miniature loop points... It's possible, but I'm afraid that has to be done manually. Sorry...

Now that WINTER IS COMING [/gameofthrones] I might carry a steno pad or a moleskine, along with a pencil, on one of my jacket pockets and carry that shit everywhere, so no ideas catch me off guard.

Yes. Tracking. ON PAPER.

Have you ever been in a place with no computer around, or in a place where you can't use the available computer to track, and had a really awesome idea for a song (or for continuing a song you started before)?

In case you have, have you ever scribbled down on paper as if paper was your tracker?

Last night I had no choice, actually. I was on a bus ride home and obviously, had no computer around (no, I don't have a netbook or a smartphone, and still, where I live, it wouldn't be the smartest thing to flash those things around on public transport), and I scribbled down my idea ON A RECEIPT.

YES. I found out I was still carrying a receipt for some errand my pals at the workplace sent me to (they wanted hotdogs) and I tracked my idea down on the back, like

(Yes, I actually use variables instead of constants for octaves, lol)

It's a rather tedious process, and you rely on your knowledge of notes and being able to whistle or hum them out as a cheap substitute for a playback function, but it gets the job done (at least for me).

Ever done something as silly (or more) than this?

4mat is the Matt Simmonds of chipmusic.

(And yes, at least in my head this is joke is valid)
