That's a valid enough argument for me. As I said before, my favorite chip album of all time was written in Reason, so I'm very okay with it. I'll call it chip made in a DAW from now on.

You could put it up on Mediafire as well, then people can get it easier for seeding as well as listening purposes.

"Fakebit refers to a style of electronic music that differs from real 8-bit (music) in being made with the technical resources of sound emulation or VSTi (software synthesizers) instead of real low bit computers and gaming consoles. This has the advantage of ease of use and availability, at a trade-off in accuracy of sound.
While a musician may choose to stay within the technical limits which the genuine hardware would have, sound emulators often allow to ignore such restrains. As a result, the typical chiptune sound is sometimes treated with effects or mixed with other instruments. This option has encouraged artists to experiment with combining the classic 8-bit style with more contemporary genres and instrumentation."

Please explain what part of this I have falsified?

Haha, yeah, I guess I'm a little Nintendo biased. There's plenty of hardware used to make music, C64 for example, Atari, old computers and whatnot.
edit: For the record, I started with Famitracker.

No, I don't believe I'm the guru of all things chip, I'm just trying to provide a more accurate depiction of another medium in which this kind of music is created. If someone asked you what a Gibson guitar is and you were a fan of Fender, and you replied by saying "Gibson guitars are basically crappy pieces of poop that are made by pretentious jerks", that's not really a very good definition for a beginner. By offering an objective description, you'd be helping the asker out much more.
Let's not get upset about this and instead continue helping the OP get a start with chipmusic.

I know, I don't really agree with it, but that's just what it's called. It's not cheating at all, it takes just as much skill.
Now cheating is when you use GXSCC!

Thanks buddy...actually, it means that someone made it in modern software using the same waves that a console would use. There's nothing wrong with this, it's just a different medium than actually making it on a console. It's not me talking out of my ass.
For example, if I used a synth in FL studio and set it only to triangle waves and wrote my bass in there, then another instrument on square waves and wrote my melody in there, that would be fakebit. It sounds like 8 bit and what not, just not written on an NES or a gameboy.

Re: Want suggestions for starting to make my own chipmusic (66 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Yeah but stuff made in FL studio or whatever is fakebit and not really using a sound chip.
This is unimportant, where most people start is either Famitracker or LSDJ, so there's nothing wrong with recommending these things.
