Re: "how to beep boop" speech (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I'm preparing a speech last minute that will be demonstrating the art of making music on a game boy.
Is there any specifics I should include? I'm going to keep it broad and basic for the listeners sake.
plagiarize heavily from other similar presentations you'll find on youtube. that's what i do.

Do you have the same LSDJ version in both carts ?
yeah i would verify this first i guess?
try different gameboys, maybe one is fucked up? maybe the cord is bad? i don't know.

How do you choose tracks you are listening to on Chipmusic?
if i recognize the user name, then i check it out. if i see someone referring to it in a thread and they make it sound interesting for some reason, then i check it out. if the title of the track mentions something interesting, like that it was made with some interesting hardware, then i check it out.

Re: How does one make a midi file? (34 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
ztracker and openmpt are the best midi trackers
but they are not that great
openmpt has actually been really awesome so far. it does almost everything i want it to. i'm still figuring out how to program midi cc's and i can't figure out how to send program change info at all.
but yeah, openmpt is awesome.

I don't know any music theory and I don't think you need any to make a good song.

Re: How does one make a midi file? (34 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
yeah, i was able to do that. but how do you change or enter numbers on the pattern editor? typing numbers doesn't work. i tried "add pattern" or "delete pattern" and it didn't seem to do anything? if i tried to do that with an existing song, it would just add random numbers everywhere.

Re: Help with song writing. (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
first, go to lsdjguides on youtube and watch every single video.
then i'd say, take it one piece at a time. start with drums. google stuff like "basic drumming" or "basic drum beats". check it out on youtube. you'll learn the basics like, put the kick drum on 1 and 8 and put the snare drum on 4 and C. then you can randomly place hi hats anywhere you can fit them in. if you do that, you should have an okay drum beat in a few minutes. change the tempo around.
then, when you program your melody, just stick to the following notes - C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
if you do a bassline, don't do anything super fancy and just stick to the notes - C, F, G, A. and make them last a long time, like an entire phrase or 2.
that should give you something resembling a song pretty quickly. then you can experiment with changing things up later.

i can't export from the trial version to see if it works with my hardware but it looks great. i'll play with this some more and probably will buy it tonight.
actually, i wasn't able to figure out the pattern editor window at all. totally confusing. and i can't find a manual anywhere online.
