So, just so I have everything straight: This entire thing will be audio, right? No video, including the Production Q&A, correct? Just wanting to be completely sure.

On which planet did Miles make the pop charts? "Kind of Blue" is only 4x platinum.
Okay, Sam Cooke then. My bayad.

Re: Working on first track. (Famitracker) (6 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
This is cool. I like it. It certainly fits the water theme. Though I'm picturing more of an underwater cave. It works either way, though.
The only suggestion I could give is to modulate up a bit and maybe add a noise kick on the next four frames. I dunno. Personal preference. Maybe vary the pulse width on some parts?

Wait? You can compose music in Super Mario Bros Deluxe?
It's very limited, and you don't get any kind of polyphony. Just a single Pulse channel. I felt like a boss, though.
When you beat the game, it causes a "Thank You" message with the "Princess is in THIS castle" theme playing over it whenever you restart the game. It also gives you the ability to edit this message, and compose your own title tune.

I honestly think this won't happen for a while. Right now, pop is craving off of electro house (If you listen to some pop from just a couple years a go, you can hear a big transition). Considering Deadmau5 is considered underground to many people around my area, I doubt chiptune would spring up as a new trend. If it does, though, there is no way it will actually sound like chipmusic, it will be warped to hell probably mixed with dubstep and electro house.
As opposed to dubstep and electro house being warped into sounding like chipmusic.

Just throwing this out there
I didn't even know what chiptune was when this came out. Haven't heard it SINCE it came out. I was, what, six years old?
Now? Mind = blown. I knew there had to be modern rapid arps out there not associated with the chip scene that weren't metal sweep picking, but... I didn't think it'd come from such a source. Though, being 1992, it makes sense in a way. The veteran's responses to these "what if choptins was mainstreamed?" threads get more and more legit every time one pops up. Well done chiptune vets and ascended newbies. Well done. I salute you, and thank you for relieving me of my ignorance.
Somebody must have done a chiptune cover of this Dr. Dre tune by now, yes?
We need a "non-chip arps" thread. lol j/k

Re: Piggy Tracker Thread (798 replies, posted in LittleGPTracker)
Solved my "no sound" problem thanks to 3 minutes with this http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/01/how-t … ntu-linux/ .
But I suspect that it’s actually this ALSA -> Pulse communication is the issue for most of these issues, because every time I enable “audio amplification” in ALSA/PulseAudio my audio output mutes
.
Under the "Output" tab in Sound Preferences, I changed "Connector" from "Amplifier" to "No Amplifier".
Yay. Now I can track with the rest of the piggies 
The thing that tripped me out is that sound in everything else works (except for KiGB, that is)

as part of one of the few "pop oriented" chip acts, i figured I'd chime in and give my 2 cents.
from my experience hanging out / working with legit producers, you would be surprised (or maybe not) at how a) knowledgeable and b) lazy they are. you can be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that most of them know about chiptune and probably at least have played with plogue if they dont actual own physical instruments that would be passable as "chip music" in either module form or, like, classic FM keyboards or whatever. I can't stress enough that these. guys. know. their. shit.
However, much like you they are at heart lazy-ass musicians and especially if they are working with talent that they only see as a paycheck they will opt for whatever sounds okay for the quickest, easiest route. They mostly dont care about pushing a musical agenda like we do (considering we are reading this on chipmusic.org) and are not "artists" really, more like craftsmen of music. They will co-opt whatever style seems "cool" at the moment, but usually only in the most shallow, path-of-least-resistance topical manner possible. You likely wont see them learning various tracker languages to make something authentic, they will simply get a sample pack and do it in ableton or logic or whatever, as they do, for a track or two then move on to Trap or Seapunk or whatever buzzword nonsense gets the checkbooks of behind-the-curve label stooges hot and wet.
They know their shit, they are not stupid, they certainly have talent and skill, but for the most part they have no spine or artistic integrity to speak of.
It's nice to hear from someone with a foot in the door of the "other" scene. Kind of confirms my suspicions about how that stuff is crafted. I know they know something. It'd be silly and unrealistic to think that they wouldn't. I don't know about the "music craftsmen(that makes it almost sound noble)", but somebody in the industry is pushing an agenda.
sincerity and genuineness will always outlive any disruption to the essence of any art form
That's a good way to put it.

Re: When Pop Superstars Flirt With Chip (79 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Maybe the confusion is caused by chiptune artists starting sound more similar to what those producers are putting out? And the producers, instead of processing and modifying the simple wave forms like they used to, are starting to use them on a more raw form because it's trendy. I sometimes find it hard to differentiate between actual chiptune and just dance music these days. The difference is there, but it seems like the pop producers are moving towards a more simplistic tone.
But I haven't heard any arps yet.

That would be a considerable plus, potential recognition for chip artists who deserve it. Although again, like with dubstep, the current big pop producers may just adapt to the new genre, and leave a lot of people in the dust.
Like what happened with the special effects in "The Matrix".

True, but should it really be considered weathering a 'storm'? Surely if chiptune does break the mainstream like dubstep did, some good, even amazing content will come of it. Not everyone who jumps on the bandwagon can get it wrong, can they?
Well, storms bring rain, don't they? Water the flowers, man... gotta water them flowers... even if a few trees get blown over in the process...
