Re: I make chiptunes with reason... Am I a cheater or something? (87 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I did consider those, but personally I think that they're more a matter of sound design than the arrangement and composition of music.
"when people spend time publicly handwringing about the authenticity/validity/fakebitness of X music vs Y music, I think how said tunes are made, while interesting, is a distant second to if they are good or not."
This is perfect, though!

I'm going to be spending the whole evening trying to think of an exception to the above statement
Well, one that isn't a snarky generalization

Re: something different. (25 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
the second one was definitely better, mainly due to the lack of vocals.
imo if you're gonna do this sort of music then you should use more authentic sounds or just drop the chip music aspect altogether, the toad vst has some decent stuff in it but spamming mario sfx makes your track sound incredibly amateur

Thanks guys, productivity here we come!

Also: here's a (SHAMELESS PLUG FOR A) thing I did a while back. It goes through a few dynamic phases and touches upon the chaotic aspect later on. You might like it?
Rad song title because I am a crazy bible person. Enjoying the sounds too.
Haha, I was actually studying the book of Ecclesiastes at the time; good inspiration!

Re: Nintendo's original SFC (SNES) development samples...? (36 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
I mean if the SNES is a sample driven machine wouldn't MIDI be out of the question/useless without something to generate sound?
MIDI is just triggers and messages. You can use MIDI messages to trigger samples and change parameters and banks and all that; it wouldn't be much different to using the stock GM instruments (which are also just samples with loop points), in this regard.

For sure, especially once they start entering the formal operational stage (aww yeah droppin' psyc101 all up in 'ere!)
But yeah! There's enough simple-language explanation there for people of any age to be able to fill in the blanks. I just thought it was funny that they were like "hey guys sawtooth and triangle waves!" without any visual cues, not even an oscilloscope or anything!

I didn't grow up when search engines were ubiquitous but kids growing up now have that shit at their finger tips. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to key in a search string.
True, but I don't think many kids would care enough to look into it. When I was 12 and actually starting to dabble in electronic music I still couldn't have cared less about saws and sines; I just wanted to put bass boost on everything :V
