Re: Competition for card game "soundtrack" (52 replies, posted in General Discussion)
May I suggest the 100$ is an up front payment for say first 100 units sold or whatever, and possibly a minimal royalty with every further sale? Let's say the game is 10 bucks, 10 cents per sale (unless the developers can spare more) is reasonable imo because the song isn't what's being sold, it's the game with the song on the side as a fun bonus. Coneal could have easily not offered 100$, and asked for just contributors who would gladly do it free. Not all of us are top notch businessmen, if anything I would say most people here are just hobbyists who have never made a dime off their music and don't really mind if they do or not.
Also, I don't think you should send physical CD's. put the songs on bandcamp (or a website) and include download codes or whatever with the product. It's 2012, CD's are dead.

If I made gamey music I wouldn't care about getting the royalties. I'd be happy with the 100 bucks and if the game took off I would be proud to know a song I made was getting a wide exposure. Sure it would be cool to continuously make money from it, but music is a hobby I do just because I love it. I understand everything you guys are saying on the legal aspects and what not, but honestly I wouldn't even care. If I was in coneal's position I would have just been like, "ayo, I can't pay you, but if any of you would like to submit some game music for a free compilation to be used as promo material, that would be dope". I'm sure quite a few people would be like "oh this card game looks fly as fuck, I want my song to be associated with it, and possibly get a free set of these cards." But maybe that's just me and some y'all are like "aw heeeeeeeellllllllllllll naw, gimme dat paper".

Re: Delete Dis thread plz (178 replies, posted in Collaborations)
Hey guys, I was gonna update here soon or message you all, but sorry about the delays on the comp. People keep dropping and right now I only have 8 submissions. I want to get it to ten since that's a nice number, and am in contact with people trying to push them to follow through or tell me what's up. Inversely, if any of you have a second alias and can make songs fast, feel free to make one haha, basically come the end of September if it hasn't filled out I will either just settle with the 8 or make up 2 artists and make songs myself, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

Re: Competition for card game "soundtrack" (52 replies, posted in General Discussion)
that actually looks pretty dope, I wish I could know more about the gameplay and stuff. I won't do a song because I'm not very good at making gamey music, but if it all works out I may purchase a set at some point. I hate to be the "make a compilation" guy, but with the unpicked songs you could offer a free download as sort of a promotion maybe?

Re: First attempt at 8-Bit Music (14 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
I personally am indifferent to your use of effects over the chip, it could give you something to separate from the general LSDJ crowd. However, you need to make songs not random bursts of noise in random sequences. If you're going for out of time, spastic stuff, it needs to be finely tuned to a ridiculous degree to be considered good. I understand everyone has to start somewhere, but you don't need to record everything along the way. some of the sounds you are using are nice though and if you made a coherent song it would probably be dope, so don't be discouraged.

Re: Chipsounds 1.6 beta release (videos) (69 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
the issue isn't that I don't want to have a legit copy, it's that I literally don't even have money to buy my own food right now. If you are ever looking for songs made with chipsounds though, pretty much all of mine are.
I do really plan on buying it eventually, I'm not just saying that. I'm super sick of my bad copy only saving half the time.

Re: Can you read music? (102 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I can read treble clef very easily from playing saxophone in school band for 3 years, and bass clef I can read slowly since I only just started piano this year. I kind of just figure out notes on the pages then memorize the songs I like and play with no sheets like Saskrotch is saying. It's easier and now I can impress people at parties by playing 1/3 of Avril 14th.
