My defaults are 115, 128, 132, and 145. I've written stuff at 80 and 90 before and I've written stuff at 178-200 too.

Ah.... Renoise.

just look at how pretty (or bland) you can make her! everything feels so streamlined and professional compared to some of the oldskool trackers where you have to avoid a few things because of unsolved bugs.

If you know guitar, you might enjoy artists like Norrin Radd or Heosphoros. Both make metal-inspired NES music. Very different from what you linked, but hey, you might enjoy it. Also if you like demoscene-styled stuff check out zabutom, coda, and joule. Another worthy mention would be Maxo whose music is very good and very unique in my opinion.

The great thing about chip stuff is that is varies between many genres and (at least with modules) you can open them up in a tracker and meticulously pick them apart and see how your favorite artists write their stuff.

Also don't feel the need to get familiar with LSDJ, Famitracker, or Deflemask. If you want to write stuff like malmen or cerror check out OpenMPT or Milkytracker. Don't be afraid to try new things or experiment with music.

You do know there's a music section, right? You can upload songs there instead of opening wasteful threads like this.

uh oh. i didn't mean it in a negative way! im a big fan of tape stuff. i actually need to find a nice cassette deck one of these days. i've got quite a few tapes but my little walkman died about a year ago. sad i passed up an Akai deck at a thrift shop over the summer and really regret it now.

For 4-track tape recorders, I'd definitely look out for stuff like Tascam Portastudios, Fostex decks, and Yamaha decks. Tascams have gone up in price over the past few years (used to go for $20 all the time, but anymore $70-$100 is average). Not as many people are looking for Fostex or Yamaha so those tend to be a little cheaper.

As chunter mentioned, if you want nicer recordings go with a hi-fi unit. But if you're into that shitty lo-fi sound a cheapo 4-track will pull that off fine. I'm probably gonna try and find a 4-track one of these days just to overdub tracks with, maybe for droney tape loops, too.

http://buildyourownclone.com/ has some good kits from what I've seen. lots of fuzz clones, but the analog delay kit looks really neat.

truly fashionable. truly revolutionary.

inspired by the tired sounds of 8-bit hardware and crushing wobble bass, this new accessory let's the world know that you mean business when it comes to chimpstep. the t-shirt material is said to be made of recycled LSDJ carts by those who've given up chip...

nah i'm just bein an asshole. it was fun making this though. zazzle wouldn't let me make the entire shirt covered with letters unfortunately.

Huh, I didn't know people considered .xm/.it/.s3m to be "fakebit." If that's considered fakebit, there's a lot of really good artists.

If we're just considering the use of DAWs and lots of post-processing (what i thought "fakebit" was...), I'd suggest MisfitChris.
