Okay okay. And I know gameboy/gameboy color games work on the GameBoy Advance/SP, and I'm pretty sure this will too but just to make sure: Does the Smart Card work on the GameBoy Advance also?

Hello, I'm really new to all of this and hopefull for christmas I will be receiving this.

And because I really just started learning about LSDJ this week, I was wondering if that link (http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/usb-64m-smart-card) is actually an LSDJ cartridge? It says USB 64m smart card, and please remember that I'm reaaaally nooby, so does that mean that it's a gameboy cartridge that has LSDJ on it?

garageband really isn't good for creating chip music, but if that's what you're gonna use you'd be better off using the "digital mono" instrument rather than bitcrushing a normal instrument. because even if you bitcrush a piano to 8 bits, or what garageband calls 8 bits, that's just compressing one instrument, usually in chip music one instrument is just 1 bit, and when you try putting the bitcrusher down to 1 bit it just fucks up. really you'd be better off downloading a tracker of some kind and messing with that. the composition seems pretty solid, so i'd say work on getting something nice going soundwise. garage band just really isn't good.

Also I think bryface meant to link to this http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/3988/ … hip-music/

Yeah basically it just sounds like a regular piano-ey garageband song that's been bitcrushed heaps and not like anything actually made with 8-bit hardware.

Okay thank you everyone! Yeah GarageBand isn't very good for chiptune– however for Christmas/my Birthday (My birthday's on the 24th) I asked for a chiptune game cartridge here. So hopefully I get it then I can use LSDJ Like a pro.

Okay, right now I don't have access to LSDJ, is there any way to use the waveforms you mentioned in GarageBand? OR is there any alternative software that you know of?

So did you enjoy it?

EDIT: and do you have any advice on how to improve/make better songs?

First of all, I'd like to say "Hello!" to the chipmusic community. I'm new here, in fact I just joined, and I'm not sure what to expect from the community. I just like chiptune music. So anyways, today I created a song called "Victory's Elegy".

Click here to listen to it.

I used Garageband to create it, a simple use of two piano voices and a drum rock kit voice with bit cruncher effects on them.

I thought it turned out pretty good, but what do you guys think?
