Jesus, have you ever used this little thing called YouTube?

Better pray Saskrotch doesn't find this.

Re: Need critic please.. :) (11 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)

Pumping out songs is all well and good, but not grasping what you're doing wrong in the first place can make it all pointless.

Melody: it comes off random and disjointed. At this point it's more bleeps than a consistent melody. Imagine a melody you can sing or humm. If it's catchy and gets stuck in your head then you're on the right track.

Synthesis: you're sticking with the same sounds for the entire song, big no no. It gets annoying and repetitive. In addition to writing one melody with one pu. Write another with a different sound. Alternate between melodies and do call-and-response. There's so many combinations.

Percussion: the noise channel has sooo much potential, in lsdj. You're squandering it by making it do 2 patterns with one sound. In my first lsdj song, I got a kick analog, hihat, openhat, and snare out of it. Just play around with it. There's so much you can do with it.

Commands: nothing really going on with these. The occasional pitchbend but that's really it. Use tables, pwm, all kinds of stuff to enhance your points.

Structure: try doing more audible verses and choruses. There needs to be a difference. Maybe in percussion or synth or rhythm or the list goes on and on.

Listen to other music, not even just chipmusic. Make note of what makes a song a song. Then spend time on each of these points and bring a new song to the table for me to judge. You have the potential, just work hard at it and don't rush it.

Re: What inspires you to write your best work? (73 replies, posted in General Discussion)

The universe, honestly. A lot of my songs are based off of feelings I get when thinking about the universe, space, planets, etc. That's why a lot of my songs are named things like Orbit, Nebula, Proto Star, Europa. It inspires me to write flowing melodies or complex arps to give off that feeling I feel. Other stuff is made out of the need to move and dance.

You can get an extension that goes in the charge port. They're easily available, tho I think Kitsch is out right now.

Its not that i don't have a program, its useless for recording and lsdj sounds all fuzzy on it.

You know, I've never had a problem with the sound on the sp. It sounds better then the muffled dmg speaker and when running through a system it doesn't get as much clipping from envelope commands. And I trust it enough to use to record my album. Also it's perfect for on the go sound writing.
