We can always do our own, preferably using a month that actually contains 30 days in it, and get rid of the archaic "mail your cd" thing....

I spend two to four hours a day on music, rarely taking a day off. If you want to do something, you'll invent at least a little time for it.

I think you need a pay version to do that, but it's quite right...
Of course you can draw or use generative scripts unless there is something peculiar to plogue that you prefer...

Re: Anyone using Renoise and Chipsounds? (26 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
A trick I have done with some VSTs is to automate the tuning parameter and do my bends with that- it is occasionally a different level of precision, ymmv. You may also consider automating the portamento/glide settings.
Use a meta effect called Automation Tool to do those.

Identical notes with slow attack, slight variation and delay, or lots of outboard delay and reverb with different tone settings. Experimentation is part of the style, as is starting at your effects pedals on the floor, so many aspects cannot be taught.

Re: Chiptune University? (26 replies, posted in General Discussion)
And to all the people telling me not to go to college, i really would like to get out and experience the world, and im very much looking foreword to college.
Emphasis mine. When you see it...
The social aspect is important, and the reason I've repeated that a few times is because, from the department of "if I had to do it all over again," that's the part I missed out on the most. I knew people who deliberately had half-credit course loads with one ensemble (basically, a graded weekly jam session) and nothing else on their plates besides jamming and hopefully gigging, and the more I remember about those people the more I think they had an ingenious plan.
If the social goals are more important to you than the academic, I recommend visiting as many campuses as you can until you find the one with the right social atmosphere. I'm not aware of any one school happening to have a lot of chipmusic folks attending it, so it's really up to you.
Just make sure you show up to class often enough to not get kicked out.
I can't believe I forgot about Theta's thread, although it got similarly sidetracked my thoughts and the details I provided haven't changed.

Re: Question for the music theorists among us (48 replies, posted in General Discussion)
There needs to be contour when all your songs play together. If all your songs climax in the same way, with the same intensity, at the same point, it's the same as drolling monotony.
Theory and phrase analysis helps. So does observing your audience.
