Play as many shows as possible with as many different groups and always try and bring your friends to chipmusic shows and events..

The strength of most scenes are built off the back of real world interactions which hasn't been mentioned much but these can only keep happening with actual people coming to events.

I know you do this already but basically keep that happening ...getting to know the fans and artists and them know you will mean more people will support your material and the local chipscene as a whole

Yup, super true. Real world interaction is invaluable.

In order of importance:

1) Make music, and make sure each new track is better than the last, otherwise keep it in your sketch folder.
2) Don't support or encourage bad music. People don't learn from praise, they learn from scraped knees and bruised egos.
3) Support good music any way you can. Post about good music on your Facebook page, buy albums you really like.
4) Email the artists you like. Every single artist in the world is an attention whore and they all want to be complimented. Attention motivates them into producing more of the stuff you like.

I like point one very much.

I'm probably not alone in this, but I want to help / give back to the chip community - i've been given so much. Thing is, I just don't exactly know where to start.

My question is; where are areas you feel the scene has some holes that could use filling?
More gigs, music videos, more fun stuff like KeFF's stickers, etc?
We have a lot of people who make tutorial videos/blogs. There are a lot of different web communities. There are places people can go to post music and get feedback. These are all great, but there has to be a million more great things we can do to help each other. List 'em if ya got 'em?

Yay! Excellent to hear. I remember the first time I did it, I couldn't believe how easy it was to fix something a lot of people would simply throw away. Then I went around fixing everything else in my house, heh.

Get cotton wool tips (the kind people clean their ears with), get some white vinegar, dip the tips in the vinegar, scrub the corrosion. It melts off like nothing big_smile

Yay thanks for this, man! smile

Freaking awesome man! Up in a Jam is basically what i'd hoped to produce one day! You've blended guitar and chip really, really well (which is rare).
You've inspired me to utilise my 10+ years of guitar playing in some chip too.

Thanks so much for all that effort, especially since you're not making any dough.
Huge respect though.

I have a GP2x Wiz that's been sitting in a drawer for a year or so. Used it a couple of times. Still have original box and all cords, etc. I'm in Melbourne, Australia. PM me if you want to chat about it.

EDIT: If you want to use piggy on it though, don't buy this from me. Apparently piggy only works on the older GP2x's. As much as I'd love to sell this to you smile

I have a gp2x wiz that hasn't been used much at all if you're interested.

EDIT: Oh, you want the piggy interface stuff, which doesn't work for wiz.

A+, would music again.

Well done, man. Having the other two guys really makes this, as it keeps it more of a discussion rather then you just talking at the viewers. Learned a lot, thank you.

Yup, nice work. Looking forward to more.

The only benefit of the hour-long commute to work is I get to bust out the dmg when I feel inspired, or even when I don't. Sometimes on weekends too.

I think the important thing is making time. I know I usually spend an hour or two a night playing video games, if I didn't do that I'd have more time for music, but normally by the end of the day I'm fairly creatively drained. The option is still there though.
