If people get bored with your mix after five or six listens, you did something wrong in your mixing.

I think that algorithmic music is interesting in theory, but is SUPREMELY uninteresting to actually listen to. 

Intentionality is what makes mixing interesting.  Things sounds cool because an actual human brain chose all of the disparate elements and brought them together in a fashion unique to them.  It adds character to a composition.  I see the appeal in a game design context, but for music outside of that context?  No.  Just no.

Well, I too thought using just my name was kinda lame, so I just slapped Mr on the front of it and called it a day.

Daaaaaaaaang yo.  I know I haven't shut up about it elsewhere, but this is REALLY good.

Some variation in the volume department would help a TON.  The volume column is really easy once you get the hang of what's happening.  There's also a definite lack of bass, which makes the whole thing sound really thin.  But yeah, basically what e.s.c. said, variation is your friend.  Keep it up!  Famitracker is awesome stuff!

I love live chip events!  I have gone to an played a LOT of them as well.  I usually run 2xlsdj, a bunch of synths, and vocals.


Now the part where I get uppity

And as a sidenote to sandneil and anyone else reading this. I don't want to send you off the deep end or anything but you might never want to tell anyone "i have often felt urges to harm or kill myself" if you ever want engage in a serious romantic relationship or own a firearm.

You do realize this is incredibly condescending, right?  "Oh hey, you know that part of you that drives to the point that you feel you have no other choice but to end your own life?  Ignore that or no one will love you"

Everybody has dark feelings, to ignore them is denying yourself the ability to cope with them in productive ways, and if you are in a romantic relationship with someone who cannot handle the bad parts of you GET THE FUCK OUT.

That being said, no hard feelings to you in particular, SurfaceDragon, this is just a massive pet peeve of mine.

(Also, if any more discussion on this is to be had, let's do it in PM, cause this thread could be awesome and it would suck to have a mental wellness derail kill it)
