Hmm... I think I'll still be able to do this... ripping samples from the songs on that website turned out to be much less pleasurable than I had anticipated, haha... :s

Made this last year. It'd get great distortion out of your guitarboys, i think.
also... slightly relevant

I have a couple drums that I think are actually maybe good (it got the approval of a couple biggish famitracker and amiga mod names at least). I'll hit you up.

One week left for sign-ups. Do participants have to sign-up at battleofthebits.org or... how does this work exactly?

BitPuritans - 2A03 Puritans is something that everybody should hear.
Also, "Pajjama - Starch", and a bunch of stuff from the Ubiktune label.
Adding to the list: Zan-Zan-Zawa-Veia - Mokè Mokè THIS. SO. MUCH. Neo-Prog goodness. Two years old and arps never sounded so awesome.

I actually found it way harder to navigate, although everything is very neat, it also seems kinda tucked away, at the same time.
Also the interface isn't as stylish. It's so corporate. On the other hand it has a bunch of stuff.

famitracker is nice because you don't have to worry about finding samples or anything.

Re: My first chiptune! (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
inb4 "Robin the Bit-Wonder" (don't do it! Dont!)
It's kind of interesting. It doesn't sound like the acidy stuff that tends to come out of nanoloop so it's nice to hear something different. Would be nice to hear some kind of transitioning between sections, and maybe a variance in the bassline sometimes. It has a cool atmosphere, although it doesn't seem very "mayhem" to me.
Keep on keeping on. Also, why is it only playing out of my left speaker?
I'd love to hear Grockle Stomps 1&3 as a dancey chippy tune

Re: new stockwave compilation (107 replies, posted in Collaborations)
So like... I have to sample sound clips from the mp3s that they have on that site? I thought it was a website that hosted sound samples and stuff.

Re: Rules About Sampling (37 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Yeah it's just one of those things that'sre hard to wrap your head around if you don't think that way but it's okay. Like... you ain't got no business dippin' in the kool-aid you don't even know what's the flavor. It's like... it bends the space-time continuum and stuff.

All fame is only momentary. I don't see how your music being riddled with illegal samples will somehow make your hypothetical limelight even briefer, though.
@SketchMan3 - I agree with you that people can be pretty silly about artists sampling chiptune music (Crystal Castles is what comes to mind for me, I don't know if there are any other cases); however, there is a bit of a difference between an unknown artist failing to credit a well-known song and a well-known artist failing to credit an unknown song.
The only difference is that the "well-known artist" is being held to a double-standard/should have known better/is being a big meanie/has more to gain. Not that much different. :7

Makes sense. If you're going to put forth the effort to rip somebody's sounds/make a thread about it, the least you can do is put forth the effort do a bit of research first. I mean, it's nice that there are forums full of people who are willing to do it for you, but it's still nice to bring something to the table when bringing up a discussion. At least... I think that's what he's saying.

Re: Rules About Sampling (37 replies, posted in General Discussion)
This is a nice thread, considering how much chiptune people like to sample stuff versus going super defense mode when somebody else samples chiptune people music.
