cool, they're friends of mine!
Ah, that's sweet! Well, if I ever see them I'll be sure to mention you;D
USA only is it? that's good
hey do any of you guelph people know a band named sarah d or jordaan mason?
I've heard of them; they do a lot of collaborations together, but I've never met them.

Ah, very nice! This should be done.
I would be thrilled to organize it with you guys. The majority of the clubs are downtown Guelph (not very big), and they range from clubs where all the bros go to pick up chicks (where dubstep and live djs are prominent) to places that host live punk/rock/funk bands. Any of 'em would be awesome venues, but my guess is that smaller ones would attract a better listening audience.

All sounds are digitally synthesized with a mix of traditional electronic and chip instruments, step sequencer for sound trigger and parameter adjust, clipping and DAC bit reduction, and MIDI control.
I'm curious as to who's making this?
no website to be found
Judging by this video:

It sounds like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz's Nick Frost is constructing it.
I'm talking with Jefftheworld, and it seems as though a Toronto show is very doable. It would be a blast, for sure.
I live in Guelph the majority of the year! That's hella close to kitchener. Let's create a Kitchener/Waterloo/Guelph scene.
I do know what you mean Decktonic. I'm just trying to get some heavy bass sounds, to mix in with some ambient 8bit.
Pr0n is a good man. Just sold me some kickass dmgs.
That's very helpful! I'm definitely after real hardware, but something I can sync with lsdj (as a slave) using arduinoboy tech, so the syncing features on that are stellar. Now I just need to come into a pile of money!
So any 808 would probably work, right? As long as it's midi.
Very helpful.
Which kinds of drum machines are used to pump out heavy beats? Sub-bass and the like? I've looked into the ER-1, sp404 and TR707.
Any suggestions?
Saddened by the lack of Toronto dates:( I'm so close to New York!
Drat.
Got a Behringer mixer for Christmas. It's super effective:
Having become a new member since the creation of this thread, I see it fit to jot down my experience about coming into this tightly cosy scene.
Upon joining, I definitely felt how knit this community was/is, and I still find it hard to gain an illusive 'internet acceptance' here (not that this is my main goal, but helps in the creative process), especially since my love for creating this music was the only thing that brought me here. This is the toughest area for 'n00bz,' I find; that is to break into the scene with open arms, while relying on the fading Constructive Criticism option to musically grow.
I understand the need for musical and personal familiarity here, along with the unserious nature of the internet (newfags can't triforce, but I can). This doesn't bug me so much as the process of becoming familiar does. Patience is key, and if you write (both musically and grammatically) poorly, then it's a dead end.
Having risked any sort of reputation I may already have had, I love the org and it's members. I live in an area where I wouldn't be able to find another chipmusician if I searched for a year. I tell my friends how awesome it is to have like-minded people here, as they constantly make fun of me for writing music on GameBoys and Famicom systems, which is loads different than my studies at school (classical guitar, music pedagogy and theory).
In the end, I love this community/thread. Probably the best I've seen, yet. The trend I've noticed is that those who have love here have super-awesome-kickass tunes, which comes from the tightly knit community. Everything's a cycle and can be debated and blown out of proportion until the cows come home.
I hope to some day meet some of you!
P.s. Hello all!
This is me.
