Re: Gameboy freezes during a song: what do? (10 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
try it with a slower bpm and/or slower vibrato or none at all, also clean unused instruments and song data.

Why would you put OS9?
450Mhz won't let you go too far with VSTs and the like, specially on OSX
Answered your own question! 
Seriously though, the main reason I suggested it was because I was under the impression OS9 was the standard for G3 machines. Didn't even think you could run OSX on them, although I guess I've crammed XP into even older machines, heh.

Re: Chipmusic and the Retro tag (34 replies, posted in General Discussion)
For sure. Video games are a point of reference I really don't mind people coming from and I think if the artist wants to stray from that then they'll find a way to move people to a different point of view.
SO YEAH! Retro! I guess instead of relating retro to novelty I should've been talking about whether or not stuff was ever outmoded, 'cause guitars and drums never really have been since their inception. The music and sound in games just got more and more advanced as time went on though (the popularity of intentionally regressing to 8-bit aesthetics in games is surely a recent thing?)
fucking... pandora's box or what?! aaaaah

Re: Chipmusic and the Retro tag (34 replies, posted in General Discussion)
See that's exactly why I think it's just a novelty to a lot of people. The majority of reactions to chip music are still "lol this sounds like videogames" and not "hey this is actually music", and the idea of it being a legitimate artistic medium rather than just a petty nostalgia trip is still, by and large, quite alien. I think we're possibly looking at this through two different definitions of the word "novelty", though!

Re: Chipmusic and the Retro tag (34 replies, posted in General Discussion)
chipmusic hasn't been a novelty for 30 years at least.
the technological aspect? of course not. but in terms of its more recent history and its gradual penetration into mainstream media, i think it certainly is a novelty to the general public. but y'know, opinions and all that!
I'm pretty sure guitars where invented less than 100 years ago as well. SEMANTICS!
come on man! you've never seen an oud or a lute before?
also: SEMANTICS!!!
ED:
guitar is 9th century tech bros
man i was just now reading about a picture of a lute supposedly found on a Mesopotamian seal. shit's oooold!
maybe people will dig up shopped pictures of bitshifter 5000 years from now

how many bands these days play entirely with instruments that weren't even invented until the 1980s? (ok skrillex)
how old is a drum kit
how old is a guitar
how old is the human voiceand they don't count as retro?
i think the difference is that none of those things have ever been a novelty, at least not in the last 100 years

http://www.os9daw.com/os9daw_004.htm <- bunch of software that will run in OS9 (you need CD keys for the better stuff). That site has a lot of tips on how to get an OS9 setup working and although they recommend G4 machines for better performance I don't think there's anything stopping you from getting decent functionality out of a G3.

Re: Drag'n'Derp: the gameboy cart to end all gameboy carts (705 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
bitshifter's spot-on about the cost of creating and performing chipmusic compared to other styles. we're talking about a difference of twenty dollars and to be fair it's a signifcant (and worthwhile) difference compared to other products of its kind. but you can go ahead and drop twenty grand on new classical instruments and they still won't be the very top of the line.

This disc has been Burnin' all day in my car stereo. Whenever I listen to this I feel like I'm living the High Life, I can't even describe the Emotion that I'm feeling. All the guys featured are true chiptune Superheroes. Really, it feels like it's almost Alive!
They even got artists from all Around the World. I wish I could meet them all Face to Face but it'll be Too Long before that ever happens
