Ugh, people actually both dislike and care about pop music. Just do one or the other, it's not that hard.

How's the latency?

Pretty sure that's how it works too.

A tip I'd give is to try synthesizing drums when it seems like samples aren't loud enough. Kick drums and toms are just a tone that pitches down some.

These were fire emojis but apparently that doesn't work here.

1) Do you see any inherent worth to releasing your music through a netlabel?
People who wouldn't normally hear my music may discover it. I always check the latest Cheapbeats release whether I've heard of the artist or not, and I'm sure many people do similar things. I also feel guilty self promoting through the internet because I don't want to spam, so it's nice to have someone do that for you.
2) What are the three most important things you look for in a label?
Reputation, Musical Style, Personal Relationships
3) What are the top three labels on which you'd like to have your music and why?
Cheapbeats because I keep getting rejected and it's only making me want to try harder. TBBR because Boa is a friend of mine and a brand new label gives an excellent opportunity to make my mark on something. Bleepstreet because that's the chiptune equivalent of being famous.
4) What is the percentage of the money you think should go to the label?
Never sold my music, so I have no clue.
5) What services should the label offer? (art, mastering, physical CDs etc etc)
General help on reaching your artistic vision, be that an extremely hands off approach or constant input and criticism. I want a label that wants to help me be a better me.
6) Your feelings on exclusivity and copyrights?
Everything should be creative commons anyway so whatevs.

1) What, if any, influence does a label has on your purchasing habits?
Well known labels have great quality control and constantly introduce me to new artists.
2) Do you prefer to buy directly from an artist, or through a label?
No preference as long as the label isn't screwing anyone over.
3) What are you top three favorite labels and why?
See above list -Bleepstreet +KEATS Collective (Vanilla should just write all music ever)
4) What would you consider a appropriate price range for chiptune albums?
I've always appreciated Electric Children's use of bandcamp to make tiered benefits. He'll have a few songs of an album up for free download, so you can always get something, or you could free download the free downloads and then buy the remaining tracks individually to get the whole release for fairly cheap, or you can buy the whole thing and get tons of bonus content.
5) Does the storefront (bandcamp, custom website, etc) influence your purchases?
6) Your opinion on physical copies? (cd, tape, vinyl, etc)
I try to buy physical whenever I can, it helps support the artist better and having physical copies of album art is great.
7) Your opinion on merch? (tshirts, stickers, garter belts, etc)
I love it when it's done well, Infinity Shred always has rad merch and should be a shining example of having tons of options but keeping to a style and not making anything extremely generic.
