ok i'll bite (no order but)

opeth
fair to midland
meshuggah
symphony x
evergrey

i dont really like much metal anymore though

yes but let's talk about dire hit's song!

i think the more minimal pulse channel work actually serves it really well, the raspy little echoes in the background work really nice with the tuned noise hits. maybe a noise/pulse unison would sound better than a wave/pulse unison. i dunno!

yeah when in doubt do an octave/fifth unison with the wav

i've achieved cool sounds with fast duty cycle modulation and vibrato
like, the first ten seconds of this is a single pulse channel with fast, heavy vibrato and PWM

but i call anime "cartoons" all the time cause they're just cartoons made by japanese people :v

OK guys lets keep this on topic.

yea tracking on a gameboy is pretty much the easiest thing imo
which is why i think a lot of people try it out and catch the bug hard

like, i've been getting into AT2 and the learning curve is super steep. it just feels so convoluted compared to LSDJ which i got a feel for in a matter of minutes. but i do love FM, that cheap 2-op sound is way more nostalgic for me than a gameboy.

if you're noticing a difference between the recording and the emulator you could always run a little 1/8" aux cable from your laptop output to the line-in and record with audacity while the emulator plays

if you happen to be playing a show the same day as trash80 and someone comes up to you and asks you to hold onto an OP-1......dont take it.
i walked  up to trash80 and tried to introduced myself just to get cut off with "where did you get that?.....thats mine."

oh dude, last year at blip aus open mic i was stupid like roboctopus and didnt drink any water so i was rad thirsty afterwards
the bar has a "special" on "rave juice" or some shit idk but it was like $25 a jug or something crazy
so i go up to the bar to grab a cup of water, there's two jugs full of clear liquid next to each other so i grab the one on the left and pour a cup
before i start to chug i notice trash80 and ctrix standing there looking at me like "wtf are you doing"
i'm like "oh... this isn't water, is it?"
they're like "nope"
i pour it all back into the jug and we all had a good chuckle

started with saxophone and piano lessons, meanwhile imitating aphex twin & generic NRG in fruityloops
eventually i figured out how to write and produce shitty electropop music and then nature took its course!
(also a couple of years semi-formally learning audio production at a tech college along the way)
