My post was more about relationships between established members of the scene than how newbies are treated...that's an entirely different area. I can say that when I was a newbie, I had nothing but positive experiences when meeting people who were "famous" within the scene. Everyone was super friendly, positive, and generally awesome to talk to.

yo, this (among other things) is what made blip oz the best thing ever and i hope to have mad chatz with everyone who comes to square sounds & the pre-party/open mic next week!

yeah, i've had really good results pulling ~9.25K right out with a really steep notch filter/parametric EQ. eliminates the high-pitched squeal without sacrificing any noticeable treble clarity

it's probably not exactly 9250Hz, but at that end of the spectrum you have a bit of numerical leeway tongue

me too! bashing out some new material for my set over the next few days (lost nearly all of the songs off of my last ep to a hard drive failure last year)

this is a couple steps above a backlight & bad spray job though (just a couple! tongue)
tbh i couldn't care less if he makes music or not, seeing what really adept modders can do gives me a semi-on, ya dig?

The old dirty south / crunk beats have been knocking out for years, hence the old TI record called 'trap music volume one' from years ago...... its bong smoking hustler music out of atlanta. But now its turned into 'dance music' as opposed to a hip hop beat someone would mc over. I dont mind that. I dj it. Well the 5% of it that isnt utter shit....... it has of course evolved as you said things do. ==

feelin this, always had a soft spot for the dirty south style but i don't really like many of the more modern beats without any room for an MC
if i make a beat like that i usually fill it out with a filtered vocal sample or something cause i can't rap for shit haha (australian accent is literally the worst for rapping with)
BUT i thought the hardstyle bootlegs that flosstradamus did were funny and they kinda go off at parties
haven't heard any "trapstep" shit at clubs yet so that's a plus!

ANYWAY this boss wave tune is kinda cool but i was hoping for something more like moe moe kyunstep from the title
nerd-friendly producers like the monstercat guys are always doing this sorta shit. but i gotta rep my man savant cause he's actually taken an interest in actual chipmusic between his more produced stuff (which is often laden with VGM style riffs and melodies anyway)

awesome!

Midnight Oil

i'm disappointed by this list's lack of psuedo echo and the church! :<

I mean the specific using of plain square waves which is similar to what makes chipmusic sound the way it does.

hmm, in the song you posted i think '"drum beat" from a casio pt-1' rather than 'omg chiptunes'
i'm not saying that chippy sounds aren't starting to appear in pop music more often (they are, duh), but the sound deisgn in fashion monster isn't informed by chip music at all imo

? if you know what he meant in this context why is this important..

because these kinds of sounds were used in a lot of popular music and culture before the most ubiquitous sound chips existed
thus i don't think that these sounds are at all indicative of chiptune influence
especially not in this song, which is produced as fuck in just about every other aspect

old thread, but i got a yamaha mw8cx recently to replace my old tascam interface. it's a mint little 8-channel usb mixer
has pretty a solid multi-fx built in, channel compressors for 1 & 2, works great live and you can record stuff onto the computer with it. it's real neat!

Yeah these guys were awesome at blip oz and the game thing worked really well. The full ep is being launched on March 2 iirc
Hunz is a bit of a legend, will be cool to see him solo at square sounds!
