Haujobb - Elements

New Big Beat will be more synthy and softy and more ambientish...
As we will use modern reverbs and VSTis...

Thank you! Cant wait!

Where can I download ComebackTracker?
Sounds like HivelyTracker or AHX. I like it!

So in Big Beat:

You can use fast jungle/rave like drums and more dance instruments...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM_8PiSMpTs

Slower mega drums with rock riffs and boosted bass...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_juA1-O58Dc

Or even chillout soundscapes...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0g84NsRnIs

So Big Beat is very universal. As Chipmusic is. You can do Rock and Techno and
Chillout in same subgenre. Thats pretty cool and creative...

Yes I will post here my songs...

@SketchMan> Yes people can use "Nu Big Beat" too or whatever word they will invented...
I was inspired by "New Rave" movement... So why "New". I know there is "Nu Jazz" thing.
So "Nu Big Beat" or "New Big Beat"... Simply "New School" Big Beat...

I like your NBB short! Yep it can be oposite to todays EDM...

Do you mean this kind of dithering?

Thank you! Can I put "logo by smiker" on it and use it on Facebook?
Any news for m4g tracker?

Can someone pixelate-add dithering to this?

Chiptunes, chipmusic uses old computers like c64, atari or zx spectrum, msdos adlip pc or old game consoles like gameboy, gba, sega megadrive...
You can make whole song on old hardware so you will have true chipmusic. Or you can use modern DAW and use modern instruments and some SID or YM VSTi and you will get "hybrid chiptune"...
But there are no limits. Simply buy gameboy (and flash and LSDJ) or sega genesis (and flash and DEFLEMASK or VGM Music maker) and make whole song without drums and than add live drums...
OxygenSTAR aka DOOMCLOUD aka RADLIB makes something similar with old msdos PCs and OPL3 soundcards!

But as drum patterns... There are no limits. You can have DNB, Dubstep or Rock drums there... Anything you want. No kick and snare rules.
Chipmusic is more about using old soundchips and you can make any genre with it...

There is also Orange PI One (more powerful than zero) and Olimex Lime (sata)...
