@Jansaw - Excellent, glad you guys like the content thus far

@Feryl - Thanks! This has been something I've wanted to try out for awhile, so I'm glad that enough people submitted stuff to actually get it rolling a bit.

@Dark Oyster - Thanks! I'm hoping for the best with this thing smile

@irrlichtproject - Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out as well

Alright, as another quick update, I pulled some long hours and got the majority of the last chunk of videos done and uploaded:

Brother Android - Black Gate
Dire Hit - Counterattack
Dark Oyster - Let's Go to The Graffiti Festival
Feryl - She Never Wrote Me Back
Irrlicht Project - Galaxzija-10
National Broadcast Network - The Western Rim
Vince Kaichan - Victory Flower Fields

Thanks for the patience everyone!

I think I will be taking a bit of a break now to get caught up on everything else I have going on, but keep the track submissions coming! (via email), and I'll work on getting the videos done and uploaded. Hopefully I'll be able to do a bit of promo stuff too (now that there is actual content).

Cheers!

@SketchMan3 - I didn't mention "8-bit" specifically, but you are correct, if I'm not mistaken "8-bit" refers to the accumulator size in the microprocessor (also usually the RAM width), but enough of that EE stuff haha.

@Dark Oyster - Just working on getting all of the videos rendered and uploaded at the moment, so I shall get to that stuff in due time.

@Boddrick - Haha thanks, your question really made me stop and think. Let me know how it goes on the track smile

Hey Everyone,

The first two videos are live!

Doxic - The War and The Tossed Salad
Please Lose Battle - Afternoon, at last

Turns out the rendering process takes a bit longer than expected, so I'll be releasing the rest of the tracks up to this point over the course of the weekend.

Just some stats for this stuff (if anyone cares)

rsrm wrote:

Stage 1 - Original Render
Time = ~25 minutes for a 5 minute video
Video = 1280x720, 25-30 GB

Stage 2 - Encoding
Time = ~20 minutes for a 5 minute video
Video = 1280x720, 160-175 MB

Stage 3 - Uploading
Time = ~10-15 minutes if the internet is being nice

So it takes about an hour or more to get each video done (give or take)

@Boddrick - Thats a tough one, I haven't really given it too much thought really. I was going to include a track from defPREMIUM (in exchange for a punch to the arm region) and his music is similar to what you mentioned, in that he uses chiptune samples without having something strictly "chiptune". So at this point I would say yes, it is eligible.

That being said, I think that having pure EDM music without any chip influences at all may kind of skew the focus of the channel.

Lastly, I don't think this will be exclusive to chipmusic.org. Once I get all of the tracks that have been submitted here done I am considering posting over on noisechannel as well to get more track submissions, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm about to start getting videos ready and I just wanted to mention again that for futher track submissions I'll be able to have a lot quicker turnaround if you just send me an email with the following stuff:

FOR TRACK SUBMISSIONS

Email to: [email protected]
Email Subject: Track Submission
Items to Include:
- Song as a MP3 or WAV file or include a link (NSF is fine too, or other tracker formats)
- A 180px X 180px image to be included with the visualizer (or link to one that I can resize)
- The website(s) that you want linked to (bandcamp, soundcloud, facebook, ect)
- A little blurb about yourself that you want included (if applicable)
- A download/purchase link (if applicable)
- Preference of colours for the visualizer bars

Thanks for all of the patience everyone, content will be uploaded tonight or tomorrow

@Boddrick - Thanks for checking it out smile I'm going to use the excuse that its "minimalist" but in reality I just went for the contrast between the white and black. I do like how the little end glitch sound worked out though.

Quick update everyone,

The adjusted "pulse" intro can be found here:
Pulse Intro V2
(with and without sound).

Also, I've sent out PM's to everyone for info so we should be rolling soon. Hopefully I'll be able to render out a few tonight and maybe even get them uploaded either this evening but probably tomorrow. I'm going to try and release them in the order that people submitted them, but at this point I'll just work on the ones that I have all of the info for.

I'll let you guys know when content starts going live.

@NationalBroadcastNetwork - Excellent! Thanks for the submission

@Brother Android - Thanks! I'll add them to the list

@DjCUTMAN - Thanks man, feel free to use the song. You can DL the full version here. Its just licensed under CC BY-NC-SA, so just throw a link to my bandcamp page in there or something.

@Feryl - Yeah the explosion bit seems a bit out of place, I just wanted to add a bit more stuff as it felt a bit plain, and well, spaceships and stuff haha. I'm going to play around with the second intro and I'll probably end up keeping the result (for the time being at least).

To avoid losing track submissions in this thread, I'm going to ask everyone who wants to submit tracks to just shoot a quick email to [email protected] that way I can keep track of everything easier. Hopefully the track submission process will be a bit smoother in the future haha.

@Dire Hit - Sure thing man, thanks for the submission!

@Brother Android - Thank you! I am leaning towards the new intro simply because its a bit cleaner, but I'll need to tweak it a bit. At this point I may just fix up the new one and use it (perhaps temporarily) until I can work something better out.

@Idio - Thank you! I do like how the second one turned out, but I'm still a bit torn between them.

@irrlichtproject - Thanks! Thats a good suggestion and I may try it out, as I do like how the cardiograph effect turned out. I would like to include an intro, but I think people are starting to get a bit antsy waiting for content to go up haha.

@my.Explosion - Much appreciated! This may become one of those things where multiple intros are used in the channel (like Cartoon Hangover's outros) haha.

Hey Everybody,

I just uploaded a new version of the intro sequence as well as a concept for another intro idea I had, so let me know what you guys think. Links are below:

Intro Sequence (V2)
New Intro Idea

If the intro needs a lot more work or people still aren't happy with it, I may just forgo the intro for the first few videos, just so I can get content uploaded as soon as possible.

Let me know what you think!

@DataFix - Thanks for the interest, just working on the intro sequence now, so content should be going up soon I hope.

@defPREMIUM - Thank you sir, I wasn't 100% sure if your comment was sarcastic, or if you were actually going to drive to my house and punch me haha
