Re: Indie Royalties (23 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The most important thing is to realize when the pay out will occur, how long the project will be going on for, and how often your checks will come in. Honestly, for starting out doing game audio, I recommend asking for flat rates up front instead of royalty agreements. You will get the feel of the business far quicker and won't have to establish the trusting relationship needed for royalty checks, and you will sleep at night way more comfortably.
Edit: and don't be shy about your flat rates, either. If you feel comfortable in your product, don't hesitate to throw three-figure amounts at them for a couple minutes of audio. Show them that the price they pay is worth it. Also, consider offering SFX work for them too - a lot of game devs will love not having to think of making SFX, and (at least to me) it's super fun work!

Topic: FS: Nanoloop legacy carts (1.2, 1.3, 1.5) (10 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Selling these with a heavy heart but I know other people out there might be able to make better music with these things than myself. I'm in no rush to sell these but it doesn't hurt to see if anyone's interested. If you're reading this post and you probably know what Nanoloop is already, but it's a gameboy music software that was once used (and still may use it today) as a nice alternative to LSDJ. These are the legacy versions and all have a unique style that (IMO) nanoloop one and the mobile versions lack
Steep prices but if you know your stuff about Nanoloop, you know you won't see these again. All of these older versions are sold out and each of them have a particular individual character. Prices aren't firm so feel free to make an offer-I won't get offended! I'm also into the idea of trades, particularly for C64 rigs or any music hardware. hmu!
1.2 has this awesome psuedo FM-like modulation that makes these gnarley growls that (IMO) LSDJ simply cannot do, used in a lot of early 8bitpeoples releases. it also puts the two pulses into one single channel for some reason but allows you to detune and make diads, I also made this album with it: http://an0va.bandcamp.com/album/visitors/
1.3 has this retrigger function on the wave channel that I've seen Je Deviens DJ en 3 Jours use a bit
1.5 has the ability to split one of the pulse channels into two essentially making a third pulse channel, something I haven't seen fully utilized by anybody yet tbh
Nanoloop 1.5 - $75
Nanoloop 1.3 - $100
Nanoloop 1.2 - $150
All three for $200

Topic: Looking for a specific emulator. (1 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
I saw a youtube video once of a Gameboy emulator that let you simply drag and drop a .SAV file into the screen and it loaded that data - anybody know which was that was offhand? I've been searching all day for it. It's a really stupid and vain reason but the drop-file-into-folder-and-rename-as-the-game method annoys me for some weird reason.

It has a top three though. If anything that's a really bad way of doing things, because music by already popular artists gets listened to more than stuff by new artists.
regardless, it still gave people the motivation to keep posting new tracks over and over again
these days even the "popular artists" aren't uploading new tracks as often if you think about it
