THANXXXX DUDEZZZZZ!!!
is the boston globe national? we don't get it out here.
yeah it's one of the main AP sources. I mean, you live in Chicago which is even BIGGER so I'm not surprised you wouldn't have it on newstands, but on the East Coast is one of the default papers

Re: oh just a chiptune album review in a national publication (35 replies, posted in General Discussion)
i thought that was treated very casually, just like in a review one would emphasize, say, "guitar playing" or "banjo technique" when discussing an album where a guy plays a guitar or a banjo. most chip reviews ive seen/been in have talked almost exclusively about what chiptune was or how its done or whatever. which is cool, but its time to move on from there! and im happy to hear that critics are too

Re: oh just a chiptune album review in a national publication (35 replies, posted in General Discussion)
It was all about comparing the chip stuff to "real" stuff.
That's a step forward, right?
i really think so! no game comparisons or anything (other than the "power up" bit, haha) and when i was talking to the journalist he was totally asking me "serious music questions", as if I was like, in a cool band or something. none of that "whats that, a gameboy? do you like pokemon" stuff

Topic: oh just a chiptune album review in a national publication (35 replies, posted in General Discussion)
This may SMACK of ego and self-congratulations (nothing new for me), but I do think it is fairly rare that a chiptune album is reviewed in a national publication, as if its *actual music* or something. this is a brief, but very satisfying, review of "Night Animals" which comes out Aug 13th. The review itself will be in tomorrows Boston Globe and affiliate papers.

In the papers, like a Sir.
YES?
yes.

Re: My wonderful friend the kick drum (LSDJ help) (16 replies, posted in Audio Production)
it doesn't have to be as complicated as multi-tracking all the channels though (although that clearly gives you more options). you can get really big kick sound on a single stem recording just through a bit of frequency-specific compression and EQing. kick drum "thump" is around 40-90hz and the beater/snare is usually 2500hz range. find the sweet spots and a bit of a boost in those ranges with some compression over the top will pop it right out
