Re: Wav Basses in LSDJ (31 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Been noticing some things about WAV basses when mixing my latest album. Notes E2 (E3 in earlier versions) are actually in the sub range, and if you have a sine wave, it will be almost inaudible on most systems. An A2 sits right the sweet spot of most bass EQ curves and will sound punishingly loud compared to lower notes.

It is obscure.
Obscure =/= not legitimate

Re: dissecting songs in LSDJ (13 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
several artists like myself include the save files with their albums. However speaking from my own experience, it's good to poke around and figure out a few things so you actually know what you're looking at.

Re: Is chipmusic a genre or a medium? (55 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Technically, if you're going by the textbook definition of genre, it's a genre.
Genre = a set of shared traditions that can include style, instrumentation, and forms.
The confusion comes in because most people use "styles" and "genre" interchangeably. A style (jazz, blues, funk, punk) can be played on anything. But for something to be considered a "genre" it only needs a set of rules or traditions governing the music presentation. Since chiptune/music is governed by the rule which requires that it be played by chip hardware, or software that emulates that hardware, it would be considered a genre.
A medium is anything that communicates information from point A to point B, so chipmusic is only a medium insofar as everything else is.
Holy shit we just needed a goddamn dictionary the whole time.

Heavy metal must have guitars, chipmusic must have a rudimentary sound chip

Re: Favorite Game Boy-only music (3 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Just for the record, I feel bad about the recommendation of that song because:
a) I didn't write it
b) there is some significant post processing with reverb.
However about 90% of the rest of my record is pure Gameboy

I might leave it then, at least until I figure out how to make the noise kicks not suck.
Good luck with that
