This is amazing. This is a damn album release with a sly PR campaign, you just have to puzzle it all together... interacting with their release from start to finish. New songs are even numbered... duh. Funny that Gamespot didn't understand the release to begin with, then updated their article to reveal it was a PR stunt; at least they kept the article up! Free media coverage... it's smart af.

All in all, I doubt this 'game' took a week to make... seems complicated enough. Lots of thought went into it, and good for the boys! gunna start my album adventure soon.

Also the link to the release index on their site up there ^^ has an awesome vid of Japan Air from their last album... kinda feels like a massive media dump via multimedia. Very cool.

Damn this is amazing! so different from what I saw at Blip. loving the choppy vocals.

yay:)

I'd go ahead and make a new account with a new name if no one messages you in a week or two. Mod action isn't as often as cm.o is not a high priority in their day to day, I'm sure tongue

Not to mention that yeah... name changes aren't allowed.

I've also used gif brewery in the past. Would recommend if you're trying to turn vids into gifs.

Has anyone seen/used this to any extent? Tried searching for it here and didn't see any mention of it. Just learning to use MML, which I've been putting off. Thought it's a great way to learn for MML beginners!

Using a Mac and have hard times finding mml trackers/too lazy to fiddle with compilers from the get-go.

I had some success using guitar rig pro from native instruments in terms of guitar source tone. I used WAVES plugins for compression and EQing. I think I had the guitars more mid-high-like, with the chip bass-mid-high. The drums were logic's ultra beat with bass drum, snare+toms, and cymbals all on different tracks. Used WAVES drum plugins to EQ each (3) drum part.

Literally all I did was fool around for like... 5 months.
example: http://chipmusic.org/jansaw/music/rise-z80band

In this track, the guitars aren't the main feature, so they might be kinda quiet... but it does add some depth to just the chip.

oh, also forgot. the guitars were doubled (recorded it twice, not just copy and paste), and panned, one full left, one full right, or whatever suits the track... but panning and recording twice fattens it up a lot.

If you aren't digging vgmm you can try deflemask. It feels much more user friendly to me. Just an opinion:) I use both.

I use deflemask and an everdrive. You can track in deflemask and export as rom/bin which plays when you select it via everdrive on the genesis. In my opinion, that's the easiest way to go.

This is pretty cool! and I agree with KeFF. Manually glitching gifs frame by frame is very time consuming. Did this once and it took me a while. Used audacity and a simple gif editor for mac.

Would be sweet to see a bonafide gif 'glitch' editor.

Two good resources here:)
As Danimal mentions, tasteful variation is always more interesting to the ear.

I like crossword puzzle.
