Number 12 Looks Like you/Duck Duck Goose/Heavy Heavy Low Low (3 way tie)
All three of those are great. All of #12 is super. I couldn't get into DuckDuck's full length as much as the ep. And HeavyHeavy's second album without the first cd guitarist was poop.
My five today:
Botch
The Chariot
Converge
Living Sacrifice
Norma Jean
with an honorable mention to
Daughters

You triple tap what parameter you want to do in the instrument screen.
I'm pretty sure that's what you guys are talking about

If you're trying to go from east to west, stop through Denver. Depending on how you do it, Denver might be out of the way.

Jake, give us some sampling tricks. That's one thing I haven't used very much.

Two really good ones that have helped me a ton:
Start/end all of the song you want to load, put it on repeat in song view, then save it.
The next time you load the song it will start playing from where ever you 'start'ed it.
Took me a while to figure that one out.
On the subject of load tricks, if you load a song while another one is playing, it will fade out any instruments from the first load that would still be playing after you would pause it into the second loaded. Neat for live-ness.
Other stuff:
The poly. mode goes out to either 4 or 5 notes at the same time on one channel. I forget exactly.
The 8bit noise channel 100% enveloped is really fun. I use the 8bit more for background noise than I do percussion.
Extratone. Speed up the BPM to silly amounts. Play with the instrument tones. Edit the patterns. Pause it then play it again (Sometimes it will sound completely different after you do this.). Seriously limitless. I'm still learning new tricks to do with extratone.
I worked a ton with manoloop the last year. I'm sure there's more I'm not remembering.

for the record I should mention that 2012 was a damn great year for full-length releases. especially all the epic albums on ubiktune. but also all those 4mat albums, the first full-lengths from BRIGHT PRIMATE(finally!), debuts by ABSRDST, Auxcide, AndaruGO (weird that they all start with A), and a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting.
very true, not saying it doesn't happen, just not as often as I'd expect.

Re: Full Length Releases In Chiptune (84 replies, posted in General Discussion)
This is all great discussion.
I feel like, with releases, there's a sense among us something to the effect of what is the expected listener return back to the artist in comparison to effort put into the release.
As in to say, the difference in listener experience and response between an EP and a LP are too small to warrant the effort of a fully realized LP.
Am I wrong on that?

A nice 15 - 30 minute EP is perfect for people's lifestyles and attention spans
This is a valid reason for shorter releases, probably the most reasonable answer.
Even still, most EPs I hear that are enjoyable feel like 5 good songs put together in an order that works.

An album can feel like mostly filler if there isn't a purpose to it.
I fell like this is close to the heart of the issue.
Is it harder to have 'purposeful' chip music releases than it is to achieve in other genres?
As in to say, I know chip music virtually limitless musically. But for most people, does the production process not lend its self towards creating cohesive musical expressions? Is there inherently less of a draw to present concepts through chip music?
I can see this being the case. Its hard for me to grasp personally, though. I've always thought about artistic creation in concepts.
