Not attacking anyone or raging.  Im curious about the motivation for engaging in "composition by commitee".  By asking for critique from the cloud you're always going to end up with the most middle of the road opinions.  The statistical result will be "meh" once you add everything up.

Also:  why care in the first place?  would "bad" responses actually prompt you to make changes?

For new artists its a way of being taken seriously while at the same time not coming off like they know everything and it helps us get ideas on how to fix what we've got so that it sounds better/can be taken more seriously when it comes to actual release.

But what I've found on this site is either limited beneficial CC actually occurs due to faults on both asking of generic cc not being specific about what they need help on and then non specific/not constructive comments such as "I know why they call you treble cus this is mixed like shit".

There was another thread that addressed the CC problem as "you need to ask for specific advice in OP" on the asking side but I have yet to see people call each other out for terrible CC.

I just through it appropriate to stick to the first three songs BUT excellent sound overall I think! I really really liked the first track second fav would be the third track. I like your sound, energy, and form. Is there anything specific you were looking for cc wise? like mixing/etc? I don't have my good headphones and my speakers aren't very good/turned down low atm so I can't be terribly specific but I really dug what you had overall.

san diego exists and we will be attempting to set up more shows! unfortunately, I just started a job, so my show-organizing abilities will be hindered until I stop working overtime, but stay tuned, and I'll definitely keep you in mind for future things!

EDIT: We might actually have a small shindig going on next Tuesday that you would definitely be awesome for if you can swing it! short notice, I know, but as it stands we're playing hour long sets sad

When Tuesday! I have enough material for short notice shows tongue And yes San Diego exists I believe I acknowledged the fact that it does and my willingness to come down earlier tongue you can keep in touch with me in the previous links :3

I'm in la but from oc originally and I want to put some shows on there this coming year.
We also have amazing guys doing amazing stuff in San Diego which you are now driving distance from.
Are you over 21? This helps a lot (damnit hurry up and age kool skull!)

Wizwars is actually from Az as well

I am in fact 21 years of age. Haha. And yes actually I have lots of friends in San Diego as well so shows in SD would be really really ideal for me as well.

I'm hardly the main chiptune guy in Los Angeles, I'm just one of the only dudes who has been actively trying to set up chipmusic shows this year...lots of talent down here but people are busy.

But anyway a crew of people has kind of formed and hopefuly we'll be putting together a lot more shows. Next big one is Frequency 2.0, which is the two day fest that I apparently do now. It'll be at the end of January. 19th-20th I believe (not looking at a calendar).

Sounds fantastic!

Well I'm looking to get plugged in and participate I'll shoot you both a pm and we can get some contactin' goin'.

There's a good amount of people here I believe, but shows don't happen too often. Wizwars seems to be the main guy in the scene, try talking to him.

And how might I go about doing that kind sir?

The attitude of not downloading something because it has a mediafire is kinda shitty imo.

Go pro or go home. If your music is good and you think it's good enough for other people to hear, distribute it with some fucking integrity.

Lol implying integrity means "choose a filesharing network that bigots won't have distaste of for god knows what reason"

like i get it, it doesn't look "professional" (implying many of us make chiptunes professionally read: as their main profession) and I took the advice for choosing something else, but it doesn't change the fact that people being so worked up about a filesharing network is kinda shitty lol

good to hear you guys are pushing out some more music, looking forward to it!

but while you're here, may i make a suggestion to tone down the heavy-handed exclamations, asterisks, shouting, tired memephrases, bluster and general noise?  i'm sorry but every time i read anything promoted by you, good lord, it's like i want to dive headfirst into a wall of nails.  i can't be the only one who feels this way.

it's a shame because the compilations are otherwise pretty good (it's shocking how many people were involved) and deserve more attention, but that potential is sabotaged by the immature presentation in my opinion.

i'm not saying to rid your language of the passion that you clearly have (which is great) but as a favour to the general public, try cutting down on the gimmicky brotalk at least a LITTLE bit, come on!

Thank you for this.

Yeah I can feel this.

Done! Thanks for bringing the comp to his attention! Everyone feel free to do the same, I'm networking this biz on multiple fronts :3

Hey all I started my chiptunes tenure in Yuma, AZ but now I've reloacted to GLORIOUS Laguna Woods (Orange County Area, full of old people). I was wondering where's the siq SoCal chipscene, how do I get plugged in/prove my worth/participate, and who else is nearby?
