And why is thi in ATARI???
The ST was an Atari. He's specifically asking about the usage of these types of sample on the Atari ST.
I've not seen a lot of this used in the Atari ST scene. I think often times there are more "valuable" sound that are used in the 2 digi channels. However, it actually sounds like a great idea to play with!
You can just measure it with a multimeter.
Okay, I just got an idea. I'm in.
Stock BPM, stock key signature?
Why use Audacity for this? Any good tracker will offer a way to draw waveforms in the program.
Milky: Hold shift while holding the mouse button.
Renoise: Select the draw tool. Renoise will also create ask to create a new waveform if you're trying to draw on an empty one, which will be correctly tuned by default.
Oh sorry, I forgot that literally every production tool and software has a quick and easy way of drawing waveforms. I'll go delete the video.

Yeah chip isn't a genre because you can write any type of music, it's just a hardware choice
Hardware choices are just genres pulled through infinity.
Are there any stock settings you recommend for this?

Super simple, super easy. Some of you may already be using this technique, but I know a lot of great chip musicians who have never used Audacity for this!
I honestly wouldn't bother too much with looking at scopes. Fresh ears can make a big difference and understanding your reference monitors is also very, very important.
However, the best way for a beginner to check a master is to take a recording of it and listen to it on as many different systems as possible and at many different volume levels. Play it in the car, play it on your phone, play it on a nice hi-fi, play it on some shitty headphones.
The point of a general master is to sound good on the widest range of devices. If you're doing a specialized release, your target might be different. For example, FLAC releases are generally aimed at audiophiles and so you can aim it more specifically at higher end audio systems and headphones.
Most of the time, you'll probably be making a wav/mp3/ogg for general use and therefor a very wide range of devices will be used to listen to your song.
@jefftheworld did you do that cleaning / retensioning yourself ? If so, did you follow a guide or what ? I'd love to actually be able to use my NES live but i need to be able to rely on it.
Clean with alcohol (and potentially some very fine sandpaper), retention with a small screwdriver.
Clearly that penguin realizes that not all chipmusic is 8-bit. He's specifically talking about music made during the 8-bit era of micro-computers and home consoles.
Do this:
gameboy carts are significantly more robust than NES carts as far as reliability goes. Pretty much every show I've seen with NES artists have had note skips and sync problems, to the point that (dirty secret time) no performing NES artists I know use carts live anymore. This is mainly a MIDINES thing, but powerpack has its problems too. apples to oranges comparison imho.
I still use a real NES but I only use a Powerpak and the 72-pin connection has been cleaned and retensioned on the heavy side. Before that I had minor issues occasionally, now it's basically impossible to get it to crash or reset without hitting the reset button.
The same goes for my C64, cleaning and retensioning the cartridge slots on these old devices can make a big, big difference for live shows.
Check out PicoPicoDetroit. They do shows around Detroit, I believe.
No, he was born over a period of a year. It's hard to truly categorize his birth.
