What's upsetting is that you don't actually realize how much work Treyfrey has put into his music. You've never talked to him, you've never known what he's like, and you've obviously never analysed the technical side of the music he makes. He's spent years building up his technical prowess that blows any of us other DMG composers away. There are things he does with his DMG that NOBODY else does. NOBODY. Listen to Push On. There's tricks and synths in that song that I've been studying since it's been released, and I'm still pretty lost on how they can be made. He does this all while keeping a danceable rhythm and a catchy melody. I don't know how his CPUs handle the stuff he throws at them. But really, compare a Trey song to anyone else's. You'll realize the sick amount of strange and ridiculously complex sound design his stuff has.

Trey's also one of the reasons that people started syncing 2 gameboys together. He posted Recovery on 8bc a long time ago. That song and Electric Children's IAYD remix made 2xLSDJ popular. He's a legend, and no, he doesn't sound like other artists. You haven't actually listened to what he does. That's why you're being harassed, you're shitting all over people's favorite artists and artists that made huge breakthroughs with chipmusic.

And you're obviously not looking hard enough if you think chipmusic is only gameboys.

The amount of work someone puts into polishing their sound and the technical aspects of it are only important to other musicians and does not directly correlate to whether or not the average listener will like it or not. Maybe Trey's melody really DOES sound amateurish, and we're just too biased to see? I shudder at the thought. Hard work and effort and experience does not equal "the best sound ever for everybody and death to those who think otherwise".

Personally, while I don't see Trey's music as sounding amateurish, it certainly doesn't appeal to me as much as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts FIRST composition when he was 6. One's taste depends on one's experience, and I wouldn't try to judge someone because they don't like what I like (unless they like Rebecca Black and Justin Beiber).

Edit: Okay, Trey's music is pretty dece. I'm not going to lie. I just heard some sick arps and it just took me away. Still, I listen to everything with a critical ear: I'm not going to fool myself into being predisposed to call something "awesome" just because it's different/impressive at first listen.

No offense, your stuff is GREAT, but there's so much over-stimulation and hyper-activity in your music that I wouldn't exactly call it "melodic", lol. It takes too much effort to figure out where the melody is coming from and where it's going. Not saying that's a bad thing. It's not exactly easy listening, though, lol.

Everybody has their own idea of melodic music. I think what this guy is looking for is music that is focused more on melody, with some good beats thrown in to support the melody, rather than getting the club crunk with hot beats and "oh, let's throw two measures of melody in there so people don't get bored".
