Just realized I have no idea how to send you a custom rom for my third cart (GB Electric Drum) while ordering, so just ordered 2 carts from the list of roms you had. Also didn't check to see if I was getting flat rate shipping. Woops. Edit: Yeah, I got flat rate. Woot!

That or the ability to hide a user. Kind of a shadow ban I guess.

I think ant1 made a userscript for that once

When I talk about genres of music with the word "chip" in them people think I'm talking about Alvin and The Chipmunks.

I agree with imaginary that the mix does seem kinda flattened. Like everything is squashed into a very limited range of frequencies. I don't know about the whole "stop making chipmusic in lsdj, switch to fl studio edm" thing, but I haven't heard your other tunes so my perspective is limited in that respect. If that's the kind of lo-fi sound you're going for then it's fine, but if it's not, I'd look into revising your mixing technique (if any). What kind of monitors do you use for your mixing? If this is just raw gameboy, then cool.  You have some really cool sounds going on, in my opinion (I particularly like the short envelope + high-frequency vibrato pingy instrument thing you've got going on).

As for your actual question, I didn't find the melodies hard to follow. It doesn't sound like there's too much going on. The melody didn't particularly grab my personal preference, but it didn't make me nope out of the song and close the tab before listening to the end.

At the end of the day, just do you and make what you like, and just keep doing it more and more.

which is part of my point, most of what i've heard that was called chipthrash sounded like it took more inspiration from Jimmy Eat World than from Black Sabbath... lumping all that music together really doesn't make much sense

add to that some stuff with 4-to-the-floor beats and nothing that sounds like it had any rock/metal influence and is mostly noisy abrasive unce.., and I'm a confused puppy

For some reason I've always thought the most professional looking DMG colour was the original grey. It just looks like it really means business... I've always thought inside-painted clear DMGs look sorta tacky (too cluttered near the buttons and d-pad) but it really depends on the aesthetic the user's going for

Whatever mod you do to it, it will look like " im so invested in this toy". If you want to have a gameboy at the studio and act pro like "yeah we can SAMPLER that" , greay is the choice. If not, some people is gonna think you're into stuff they could or could not like.

Just think it the other way: you hire a guy/gal to record your drums at his/her studio. Upon arriving there, he/she shows you the other stuff. Theres a see-thru accordion, a golden , crystal emobossed flute and shitty regular studio drum snares. ¿What do you think about it? Now imagine the same situation with a regular accordion and flute.

Yes

There have been at least 1 microtonal compos held on battleofthebits.org utilizing Famitracker.
http://battleofthebits.org/arena/OHC/1820/

Some of them are not possible in tracker arp commands because they go above 3 or 4 notes

Maybe not in a single tracker arp command on a single channel, but skillful alternating of arp commands or using a second channel to extend the chord is possible. And if you use a high speed setting it's possible to make arp chords as big as you want by simply entering the pitches in the note column rather than using arp commands. LSDj is pretty efficient with doing that with tables.

White. Most people will not know it isn't the original grey. But it looks better than the grey. Best of both worlds.

Not this again.

Hey, this is a good OP humbly asking for help, and that could possibly gather useful information that might just help someone who is confused about this topic. No need to defecate over it.

I would like to just point out that doing a google search on each of those chords in the key of C would show you a break down of each one. But it's always more fun to get the information from a person you've asked rather than a soulless information machine, so I totally understand.

It's worth giving it a try for a week or two, at least. No need to "switch". Just try it out for awhile.
