The tricky thing about reddit is where you put it. There is a chiptune section, but many others too. Some places work better than others, but it's not an exact science.

/r/chiptunes on reddit is a real clusterfuck IMO, where people post their favorite songs or their own new song, but everything is ignored.  No upvotes, no downvotes, no comments etc.

I'll upvote you on reddit but you aren't going to get much attention from there.  I'd still post it but it seems the majority of them don't like "LISTEN TO MY MUSIC" posts, nor do they listen to new music they've never heard of.  And based on the responses in the "pure/unpure chiptune" sound threads they've had since I've been lurking (ugh), they don't really like the "full band" sound Revengineers got.

Wow, I could've used this thread yesterday before I started looking up kicks on my own...

So I always used to only use the noise channel to create the beat:

Envelope - A2
Length - 20
Shape - D2
Table: Create a table where the first four rows in the TSP column are as follows: FF FF FF F6

You can hear a this kick here in this old song: http://soundcloud.com/vetobendover/butterfree

but I've been thinking recently that that isn't gonna cut it anymore, so I stole two different kicks:

THE DANIMAL KICK (WAV) (with apologies to Danimal Cannon lol)

Instrument:
Play - Manual

Synth:
Wave - Square
START:
Volume - FF
Cutoff - FF
Phase - 00
VShift - 00
END:
Volume - 10
Cutoff - FF
Phase - 00
VShift - 00

Table:
0 00 24 PDA
1 00 24 -00
2 00 24 -00
3 00 24 -00
4 00 24 PE3
5 00 24 -00
6 00 24 -00
7 00 00 K00
8 00 00 -00

and a pulse kick I found and changed a little bit:

Instrument:
Envelope - X1
Wave - 25%

Table:
0 00 94 PC0
1 00 94 -00
2 00 94 -00
3 00 94 -00
4 00 94 -00
5 00 00 K00
6 00 00 -00

... pretty sure that  94 transposition doesn't really do anything.  You might have to change the position of the kill command and the speed of the pitch bend depending on your tempo, maybe.  And the pulse kick is VERY bright, especially compared to the Danimal kick.

You can hear both of those kicks here in the cover I finished today: http://soundcloud.com/chips-challenge/yyz-rush-cover

or you can just listen to the track I stole the Danimal kick from: http://danimalcannon.bandcamp.com/track/the-big-crunch

I always have the groove in the wave channel running at 3/3 with all of the other columns at 6/6. It means you can still do kick/bass in the same channel, but you have more room between the kicks for more complex basslines.

Oh wow, duh... this is a great tip!  ... could've used it earlier today when I was trying to fit all of geddy lee's bass notes in between all of peart's kicks lol

Well, I can always try...  FAQ says:

‹ Can I upload a song which contains copyrighted content?
Answer: No.

Does that mean no covers?  Sometimes I pump out a quick cover to take a break
