I play a few instruments : ) Accordion is my favorite buuut, piano, ukulele and guitar hahaha

Noo no no I am not simply just asking you to INSTANTLY tell me what a VST is or what a mixer (figured them out but just wanted to learn more) is or anything like that... I just wanted a good book, or another source of knowledge... I guess I asked this really badly, how did you guys start learning new stuff? I always have had interest, I just never knew where to start learning some of this stuff...
and by the way, "The business of chiptunes" was just a little joke i guess, not that I thought of it as a literal business blahhhh. Idunno I'm sorry for sounding like a total dipshit and I know google is a good source but sometimes i'd just like to ask some people who already do the type of stuff i want to learn what a good book is if you know of any...

again, sorry for the way I put it.

ah.

I'm just now trying to hop into the business of chiptunes and I barely know anything and making up the music.
Like...
I lack some basic terms like mixers, VST's, Trackers, equalizers or maaaany other things. . . Bahhh I might be asking a little too much or too broad of a question.. BUT if you guys could give me a good quick read on a site or even a book I could pick up or something.

Yeah, making small isometric text can be very hard and I definitely have not mastered it xD That was actually on of my first isometric pixel art pieces... I have a lot more stuff around here somewhere I just gotta find it smile

AND for most of the stuff I use a mix of paint and photoshop, MS paint is nice and simple for the initial drawing but for animation and transparency and other little tid bits I'd use photoshop.
Thanks for the comments big_smile

http://www.bitgengamerfest.com/ I have never been to one but this will be their 6th year and i'm definitely going! any other eastern people out there?

I drew these a little while back when I got bored including my "Kim Jong-Il" avatar of mine tongue, the jet thing was actually going to be in a game I waaaaas developing...
Micro Korg

Pink Walrus xD

Jet Thingy : )

Yeah, I just read that too from his site x) Alrighty, i'll just have to wait for this along with my EMS : )

How long should I expect to wait to receive a copy of LSDJ?

I might just have to get try this for my GBA big_smile

I could probably whip up a decent looking user-friendly app/site for use big_smile
ahhhhh yes, I can see it now! It could have a voting system annd and user posted patches dhsajkldhsajl I am doing this smile

Oh! That's actually pretty awesome.. Anyone know the price the guy's gonna be asking for one of them? I'll probably get the EMS cart to start and maybe save up a few bucks for the DnD

Haha sorry for the sarcasm, no you guys definitely have changed my impression tongue BUT with that drag'nDerp cart, is there any advantage to the the other cart besides just simple drag and drop? I mean, I'm running windows, not osx soo i should be good with just that riiight?

haha thanks a bunch all three of ya! That was a lot more helpful : ) I'll give those links a look, I recently got some left over cash I can use for this so I can't wait for the packages to come in big_smile

thanks again
