Re: NSF ARCHIVE (revive) (28 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
Not sure if this is still being curated, but I figured I'd post this anyways. Here's some stuff from my own little personal archive that I didn't find in the .zip herr_prof posted. Also threw in my own few .nsf songs.
EDIT: nevermind, i didn't see there was a dropbox link! i grabbed an outdated version lol.
Sorry for necrobumping more thread! :S

Re: PAULA POWERED - Hazy Crazy (22 replies, posted in Releases)
I like this. I feel like it could be a little faster and chaotic, but I guess if you're going for that steady punk sound you've got it right. I think chip and noise rock could definitely go well together, especially on amiga. choppy octamed breaks and some weird dissonant guitar probably sounds great.
i'm also a big sucker for offsets. my jazzmaster's a bit of a cheapo shitter, but i'm hopin to fix it up a bit come summer. i'm diggin that creamy off-white jaguar hehe.

I do remember him having some cool c64 stuff, but no I don't see anything in the HVSC. Is all his c64 stuff posted anywhere? I miss that guy he made some really sick stuff.

Are Hubbard and Galway not listed yet because they're obvious?
I'd say so. I started this because looking for some suggestions every "top 10 .sid songs" thing was dominated by Hubbard, Galway, and all the other great game composers from the C64 days. I don't think any of them mentioned anything but game soundtracks.

Re: Favorite HVSC musicians? (16 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Oooh just remembered some others I forgot to mention!
Cadaver
Hein Holt
Alex Mauer (he used to have stuff under 'akuma pan' but i think they put those tracks under Alex Mauer now.)
Arman Behdad (also known as Intensity. had a few tracks on 8bc. very talented dude, RIP.)
Abbadon
Thanks for the other suggestions, everyone. Keep em comin'!

Topic: Favorite HVSC musicians? (16 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I like to poke around the HVSC once in a while, but a lot of the time I find myself sifting through bad game soundtracks or really boring shit. I feel like I'm missing the good stuff! Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions to check out. Maybe some kind of diamond in the rough.
Here's a few I'd suggest I guess, pretty obvious picks for the most part:
Drax
goto80
Linus
PRI
Laxity
Jammer
Glenn Gallefoss

Re: Quality Headphone Hunting (12 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
In essence, you want to find a headphone that doesn't bias any frequencies too much. A good example of a bad headphone for making music would be Beats by Dre because they're designed to boost bass a toooon.
I've had my Sony MDR-V6's for something like 3 or 4 years now. They've held up very well and are fairly balanced when it comes to mixing stuff. I don't know what your budget is, but for $60 I'd say they're pretty good.
I think Grado make pretty good headphones for that kind of thing, too, but if I remember right they were a little more pricey than the Sonys. I might be a little biased, though. I've had good experience with Sony headphones for a long time. 
my last pair definitely had a few more years left if my cat hadn't chewed the wire!

Re: Are there any GB Trackers with more than 4 tracks? (13 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

Limitations of the gameboy chip seem to be the defining reason as to why all, or most, gameboy trackers are 4 (or up to 6) channels only. That being said, it could be possible to make a hack and create a tracker that emulates a "2xGameboy" chip or something (each chip panned L+R respectively or summin), similar to Raster's 2xSAP hack - so you'd get 8-channels instead of 4.
(you can tell I know very little about this chip ahahaha)
you wouldn't be able to do that with hardware, though and I don't see anyone making a PC gameboy tracker anytime soon. besides deflemask I guess but the only time i tried that was an early release and it kind of sucked at gameboy stuff.
the only other pc gameboy tracker i know of is Paragon 5 tracker.
the only other solution would be using a VST like chipsounds or that one WAV thing trash80 made a long time ago. chipsounds does a pretty good WAV channel emulation imo.

Re: Wanting to expand my setup, asking for suggestions (23 replies, posted in General Discussion)
plenty of cool old grooveboxes around. Korg ER-1's are always cheap and can do some pretty neat stuff. maybe not great for anything melodic, though.

Re: Are there any GB Trackers with more than 4 tracks? (13 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Unfortunately, no. BUT there is a sort of work around to getting a 5th channel in LSDJ.
I suggest you watch this if you want to learn more. It's just a bit of WAV channel magic, but it's pretty interesting. It's basically layering a square wave into a wave shape to simulate a 3rd pulse channel.

Re: Chipmusic's general opinion on "experimental" electro music? (26 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I'm a huge dronehead. I'm still sittin' on a drone album I wrote back in November. I need to get on releasing that...
Anyways, drone! I would suggest Tim Hecker, Belong, Aloof Proof, Gregg Kowalsky, and Mirroring. For drone-metal (probably not your thing, but it's harsh nonetheless!) nothing beats Boris, Earth, and Blackboned Angel.
COMPUTER JESUS REFRIGERATOR is worth checking out if you're into glitch music. Kinda like harsh noise with... random structure I guess? It's cool though.
