Re: VSTi features you want (12 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)

Bandlimiting is a pain in the neck for sure. If you want to add hand drawn waveforms it's something to consider. If the waveform were limited to like 20 steps or something it would be easier than if it had really high res, I think.

Re: user ignore function. (51 replies, posted in Bugs and Requests)

Well I guess it's a personal choice mostly. Killfiles and such. One benefit is that nobody can complain about annoying topics or authors. If you don't want to see topics about gameboy modding, just parse them out. Whatever tho..

No I dont think youre pretentious, but this is user generated content. It's not about "chipmusic", it's about the internet at large. Most youtube videos are shit, but that's ok because you don't have to watch them all. We just need better ways to find good content.

But the whole point of the thread was to open a discussion about whether or not people find chipmusic to be of lower *musical* quality than other genres.

No I think chipmusic attracts people who like melody.

It's very dub steppy, in a good way.

I'm curious what the database stats are. How many members have uploaded, average songs per user, how many song for users who haven't logged in in over 6 months and stuff like that.
Currently the music section doesn't really seem to work that well as a showcase because there is such a huge volume of content, I personally tend to listen to albums / eps from net labels I like as they have already gone through at least one quality / curation / whatevet filter. The consensus seems to be nobody wants a chart / automated ranking system based on likes / comments / plays per week or month. Also nobody seems to want to step up and curate a periodic selection. I think a forced quality control on the users by limiting the number of songs will go some way to solve the volume problem but it is still a pretty large chunk of tunes.
Ideally I would like to see an automated weekly top 5 based on something like the 8bc filter trash 80 wrote for the "top" 5 songs then a curated weekly list of 5 more "hidden gems" displayed at the top of the page with the wb player for back end. If "drama" is a concern then we could lock comments on those "top" tracks for the week following or something.
Edit : sorry another idea, top of the page could be. : Top5, hidden gems, all 3 tracks from the "artist of the week" that would be 13 tracks at the top of the page all curated or selected by different criteria, a nice little cross section of what the site has to offer content wise.

What if the top 5 curated artists each choose a track for the next week? On top of and automated "most liked" thing. If one doesn't pick a song one week, then it will be given to the most popular automated artists, descending from the top of the list.

So we start with 5 people to curate 5 tracks. Then those 5 artists curate for the next week. And fall back on the automated list if needed.

Or something.

Okay now that that's over, I still really want to hear people's answer to my question, so I'm going to repeat it.

How do you define "high quality" music?
I look for musical development and intent, cohesive releases. I don't like repetitive music.
I don't particularly care about recording quality, aside from the most egregious offenders, nor do I care about advanced techniques unless they are used to achieve musical ends that otherwise can't be reached.

I think he means quality in general. Time and care in making something I guess. But it's subjective too.

I manage to find a lot of awesome chip music. A low quality release can be spotted pretty quickly. I don't think it's a problem, and I dont think its limited to chip music.

Re: Possible New Rule: Music Section- number of songs limitation (55 replies, posted in Rules & Announcements)

Yeah this is fine. I guess the music section is more about talking about music and seeing what others are currently working on. I would love to experiment with soundcloud integration, just so storage isn't a concern. But would you keep the reg comments AND have soundcloud comments? That's weird.. I would hide the soundcloud interface, and suck out the sweet mp3 within, if that's even possible.
