Re: Thoughts on Streaming (114 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Yeah, Clipstream crew runs their shows a lot better than the way WWCW turned out. The guy who was doing most of the organizing 'n stuff for that seemed pretty inexperienced and a lot of the problems that the stream had stemmed from his inexperience and lack of adequate planning.
Also, there was quite a bit of drama happening behind the scenes, of which I won't go into detail until the people actually involved are comfortable enough to share it.

Go back into Garageband and export it as an mp3 instead of an aif and then upload that.

Re: how to make your songs musically interesting (97 replies, posted in General Discussion)
To actually give a serious answer to an 'interesting' topic, chip music (leads in particular) can be very bland. A square wave hitting a note mathematically perfect with perfect timing sounds... mechanical and lifeless.
In order to counteract this people should really take time to program expressive techniques like bends, legato, attack, vibrato and other things. When you master these things, the extreme level of control on order of microseconds that chipmusic provides, allows this 'bland' instrument to be one of the most versatile and expressive instruments out there
It's not enough to just hit the right notes, it's HOW you play them too
This. When I'm writing melodic stuff in LSDJ I use the legato, pitch bend, and vibrato commands a lot a lot a lot on my melodes, and it really helps to make the music sound human.
