Well, it depends on the platform. You wouldn't create a clicky wavetable on a modern PC, like you would on a gameboy. It's fun to work with unique hardware.

I think a realistic goal (without charging a monthly fee) would be a site that has embedded soundcloud/bandcamp players for things you select or like and it puts them all on a list together.
That's a pretty good idea. To focus on chip music, hosted around the web, and create a social context for discovering and talking about music. Soundcloud is a good option.

LOL - well I did release in December, and got one reply. Posted a track for some constructive critisism, nothing at all. So different to the good ol' days in the early 90's.
Maybe that's because the group of enthusiasts (henceforth referred to as 'the scene') was so small back then. So people were more supportive. There are so many EPs, its hard to listen to every one. Thats I think why the natives crack down, and say that you need to do more self-edititing. Just my 2cents. Your album is really good btw.

It's not like one style came along and completely erased the other. I don't think anyone in this day and age pretends that brostep is comparable to the stuff you guys are talking about. They are just different styles. Some people like sub bass and some people like high pitched modem squeals. There's still producers out there making the classic stuff. So what?
Well, I don't want to make a thing of it, but sometimes it *seems* like wubstep is all there is. It's just everywhere. Still I've learned to surpress my cynicism and evaluate each wub on it's own merits. I know there's still the other stuff out there.

Re: Goattracker on IOS? (6 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
goat tracker is written for windows and Mac. It's not a basic program. If Apple allowed c64 emulators, you could run a real c64 tracker, but they don't unfortunately.

Yeah it's a general trend that in the past 6-7 years people have started appreciating old school computer sounds, and old video games. I doubt that most of these musicians were influenced by chipmusic per se.

Moving all cc to the music section would:
1. end all the cc threads (a win for everyone)
2. place more attention on the music section
3. spur more interaction in the music section rather than just consumption
Yeah that is where the cc should happen.
