this especially. in fact I'd say while you're in the creative mood I'd suggest not listening to other people's chiptune whatsoever
This is great to do. I'll definitely do this when i start up a new track soon.
Thanks!

Thanks bro!
Yeah i figured i need to work on that, thankyou though!

- Listen to lots of different genres of music, try some blues or classical or funk, it might give your music a twist which helps it stand out.
- Back up regularly and keep at least one back up off site.
- Take at least one spare cart and gameboy to all your shows. One or both will fuck up eventually.
- Gig often and not just at chip shows.
- STAND UP STRAIGHT ON STAGE!!!, there are a couple of occasions when I like nothing more than a view of the top of someones head, when they are playing live isnt one of them.
- Move around on stage, you stay pretty much in one spot the whole time.
- Write a lot of song. Writing 50 songs in a year might be more helpful than only writing 5.
- Try chipmusic that isn't gameboy based. Simply using something other than a gameboy will help you stand out.
- Develop a thick skin, chip musicans are loveable but can get a bit vicious from time to time.
Good luck!
Wow, this is amazing advice Lazerbeat!
Thanks alot man, i really appreciate it man! Take care, hope all is well!

i can't express who much more awesome this is. great work.
I'm a 16 year old chiptune musician from Corpus Christi, Texas who has gotten into the chip scene trying to get start off in the right place.
Generally just looking for tips, feedback and such. I write my music with LSDJ, and a gameboy color.
Here's an open mic from last night that i played, feedback would be nice please.

Another option, if you're not into buying one that's already modded from someone here, is to scan ebay regularly as well. I picked up a DMG and MGB for $10 with shipping once. Also got a huge box of accessories and 2 DMGs for about $25 with shipping included. The deals are there, just gotta keep checking. Get the ebay app if you've got a smart phone. Awesome way to kill time if you can't play with LSDJ.
