Oh, fuck yeah. Gotta check the time...

Lolthx.
I assume you mean stache? Tasche actually means "bag" in German, which is why I was a little confused at first.

I (mo.) took some pictures of everyone playing. Of course the pictures of SFZ playing have been taken by a friend, thanks btw.
If you like the pictures you can check out other artists I photographed so far here.

We've had quite a cool time there!
Props to irq7, sixteen-817, g4mp0y, back to newc45tle + nlz music!

Protip: Use stable versions instead of most recent ones.

Not sure if even someone active on cm.o has been there, but it was awesome.
Thanks again to Lafftrak + Tathandlung!

If you do Chippytoons you absolutely need a cliché name like Sabrepulse (no offense, I like Ash) or Bit Shifter (no offense here, too, though I don't know him in person). You know, because the actual hype about Chiptunes is still about to come or at least still kind of in it's beginning. That's what I'd say at least.
Anyway, with a name like Bit Shifter or Sabrepulse, you'd be just what the Rolling stones are for Rock + Roll (no offense here, too, Micky bro).

So you should probably call yourself Sabrepulse.
Or Bit Shifter.

I remember one of these threads from 8bc, where some kid liked everyone who liked him. As soon as he noticed, someone didn't like him anymore, he would remove his like as well. He even ranted about that someday in his thread.
Way to go.

But if you do it like Zef wrote it up here, then you should definitely listen to everything on some good speakers.
Or better yet, listen to it on all kinds of different speakers, so you get an idea of what it could sound like on different audio systems.

I'm mentioning this, because I noticed that instruments you might hear clearly on headphones won't be as clear on speakers. By listening to your tracks on different speakers you can easily determine which instruments need a volume boost + which don't. Then it often helps to increase the envelope by just 10-20, this should make them more present already.

If you mute channels, it still has to process the same things it has to process with these unmuted.
Only live mode helps there.
But if you work with lots of groove or tempo changes, you should probably get your effects on any channel.

+ yes, it is totally possible to record each track by itself. This way you have so much more possibilites. I was wondering all the time why noone mentioned this before.

So anyway, if you mute the channels you don't want to record, you sometimes get disturbing noises in parts where nothing is played. Especially kit-instruments cause these disturbing noises, but other channels or instruments do, too.

EQ-Protip: You get most of the DMG bassdrums at about 100 Hz.


Edit: I recommend recording single channels with the three other channels muted. The distortion sounds usually don't bother, + if they do, you can cut them out or mute them (in postprocessing). This way it is sure that your DMG will keep the tempo. Even if there are slight variations, they will be on every single channel, so every single channel will be synchron. Variations may occur, but you wouldn't be able to hear them in a full mix, because they would be too slight.
