After hours of calculation, experimentation, and meditation, i have arrived to a solution to this argument abomination.
If you like the saw waves and the square waves and the bass and the whatnot, get the DMG.
If you like the bleepty bloopity for the sake of bleepity bloopity, get whatever you want.
Either way, it sounds great to me.
wow I've only seen one of these and it's owned by Thretris! super rare!
I'm really loving how this "DMG vs. CGB" thread devolved into a literal guitar favoritism wank.
The best guitar is the one that you enjoy playing and enjoy hearing yourself play.
Incidentally, the same thing is true about your game boy or literally anything else you use to make music.
excellent.
dude your idea is awesome! please message me when its done! i wanna buy it!
I've been watching some tutorials on Youtube on my spare time. came across this one by Danimal Cannon. Don't know if it's advanced enough for your purposes, but It certainly makes sounds I myself didn't expect.
i really dig the art work, man.
I guess i went a little overboard with the word limit on my comment. (That's me used to writing long artist statements for studio art class, resulting in me sounding like an asshole with too much to say)
I can't say Im furious with the people who made the video without consent, or extremely political about keeping chipmusic underground. It just bothers me to see something really nice turned into something so.... not nice.
My short version would be that some of you guys are really talented musicians, using something that wasnt even meant for music. So take pride in what you do, because by my standard, your music, like all good music, is art.

"I thought about making Chiptune, before it became popular!" is so much more cool then "I made Chiptune, before it became popular!".
Indeed.
Oh, you havent even seen my ironic shirt collection. I have it all on vinyl. Id put it on the web, but im strictly polaroid.

I've had people take my paintings, though, and that pissed me off. The producer for that opportunity just tell Sabrepulse that his was used. Its as simple as 20 minutes.
As what this means for the chipscene, i dont like it, either. I will admit that i havent even recieved my but knit. Just in this two hardware and them pretty. The chipscene seems like one of those rarely painted completely futuristic heavy presence of nostalgia ruined by bad mainstream "composers" now that just entered. This is just my music and good, really known and dull. YOLO generation gets hold of brutally different rap we saw beggining thread.
This necessarily what would happen.YOLO
Too long I fixed that for you
Thanks bro. Owe you one.
Im not a chiptuner, but I am a painter and designer. I can see why Sabrepulse is angry. His works are his babies, man. He puts time and effort and sweat into them, just for some guy to take one and use it almost unchanged for a project that Sabrepulse didn't even get credit or give consent to be part of. I haven't had this happen to me (and God-willing I will never have to go through it) but this is a problem that happens in all arts. I've had people take pictures of my paintings and post them online without my consent, though, and that pissed me off. The producer for that song had a lot of time and opportunity to just tell Sabrepulse that his song was going to be used. Its as simple as writing an email. 20 minutes.
As what this means for the chipscene, i dont like it, either. I will admit that i havent even recieved my gameboy in the mail yet, but the 8bit scene seems like a very close knit community. Just in this website ive met with the two main suppliers of hardware and talked to them pretty casually, along with composers that i never expected to have contact with. The chipscene seems like one of those islands of fun and talent you rarely find, and it has painted a completely futuristic landscape yet with a heavy presence of nostalgia. Id hate to see it ruined by bad rappers and mainstream "composers" now that ive just entered it. This is just my opinion, but id rather have this music community stay small and good, than really well known and dull. As soon as the YOLO generation gets hold of chip music, we can expect it to be changed into something brutally different. Like the rap video we all saw at the beggining of this thread.
This is just my view, though. Not necessarily what would happen.
Thanks, guys. You really saved me the searching. Danimal, you composed moonlight sonata on lsdj, right?
these are awesome. thanks, kitsch.
I'm expecting to get my gameboy in a few weeks now, and I want to get ahead and familiarize myself a bit with LSDJ before I get down to composing. I don't want to ask you guys every single question there is (hai guyz wahts a table screen? hai guyz wahts the groove for? hai guyz wahts how do I make speech? hia guyz how do I.....)
What are the better guides and manuals out there that I can get, so I don't have to bother you every 3 days with a "hai guyz"?
say, Justin, how do you take care of any scratches on the cases? your finished pieces look brand new.
i haven't gotten my gameboy yet, but from the pictures I've seen, cyan with and inverted and biverted screen look really sharp.
it's not even an electronic device. if you look closely, the top left edge of the form is off, and looks as if it has been cut with scissors or an Xacto knife. i also think the gameboy is a paper model because all of the other devices in the collection are displayed with WORKING screens, which means the circuitry is still working in all of the these devices, which is impossible, given that they were submerged in boiling hot oil.
quote from the article: When asked about the obvious dilemmas one faces when deep frying a battery pack, Hargreaves confesses that the objects are actually models made from foam core and decorated with images of the actual devices. "I was nervous about what would happen when I put them in 400 degree oil—were these things going to kick back at me?"
