haha well it was when I was first getting into chiptune, and the first thing I ever showed her was arcadecoma, so every day I would play new stuff I downloaded that day and would be like "I promise this one is dope", and after about a week of that I showed her Bit Shifter's cover of "the world has turned and left me here" and Unicorn Dream Attack's "Jamie" and she started to appreciate. She likes a bunch of it now (not the simpler 1 gameboy stuff so much), so it's all good.

Point being, Bit Shifter and UDA bring people closer together.

10,000,000 out of 10.

edit: trying not to hide is like the best song I've ever heard.

I have a general idea of what would flow together and usually play the melodies out on my keyboard a bit before drawing them in or recording them, but after that some tweaking usually occurs. Maybe he means something like that, and I don't think that's so wrong. If he means genuinely just clicking random notes in and then tweaking that is a little strange, but who's to say it's a wrong way of making music? If you're gonna try and tell me you don't just fuck around on a keyboard and evolve some general fuckery into a melody, you are a liar, or don't have a keyboard, but you get the point.

When I make original songs it's just a flow from boredom and what I would want to listen to (usually boredom though), and I usually hate it after listening for hours while making it. Some songs I have done and liked and still listen to and am like "damn das good", and other times I'm like "no wonder no one likes my music". I do a lot of covers just because I'm like "I like this song, but I'd like it even more as chiptune". I listen to those a bunch for sure and never get sick like "oh I made this, I fucking hate it" because I didn't make anything, I just recreated someone else's song. I just pretend they made their own song that way, and I'm all good. Being active on here and listening to lots of your guys' music inspires me to do better (specifically Downstate, seriously he's the shit) and to get into new methods of making music and making more authentic and original sounding music.

edit: but I genuinely think lots of my shit is terrible, but I think that stems more from a low self-esteem. It really means a lot when some of you dudes who I listen to daily comment on a song I did or whatever. Feel free to tell me I suck though, because I'm sick of sending my girlfriend my songs and she says "it's good" but is just probably being nice.

It's okay your point still stands, I won't deny it haha.

I think they'd at least take the extra half step to download toad and peach.

edit so i dont have to double post: but yeah if chip were "mainstream" obviously a bunch of douchy kids would kind of ruin it, they're already moving in through dubstep now that so many producers are like "LOL this sounds like a videogame because it's a square wave! so much GRIME!!!!" but I think even if there was a big chip explosion it would be completely separate from the current chip scene. It would probably piss lots of us off that everyone would be like "oh fuck this new Skrillex joint is dope! he used the mario coin sound effect! LOL nostalgia to the max!" and never listen to any real chip, but at the same time it will be preserving the integrity of real stuff. On a plus side, if real chip got popular, we would be rolling in the dough, and bitches, and liquor, and weed, and all drive fast sports cars..... man i hope chipmusic sells out.

edit #2: Saskrotch I'm gonna add you on facebook, even though your mean comments sometimes make me anxious, but you are from my home state and I love your music. Please don't make me cry and cut myself to sleep.
