If you're ever remotely close to where these are going down, you're gonna want to clear your weekend's agenda
Everything midi-able to everything. Getting a CZ1 and Arturia Spark to add soon.
MidiNES, Juno 106, PSS480, MS2000, MMT8, various Casiotones, and a coupla Gameboys. Because, you know, chiptune.
EDIT - oh yeah, and QS7.1
Gimme dat mixer Mechlo

fix'd
Those were good times
I was thinking about selling my balls so I could afford to start the ultimate chip label/festival, pay a promotion company, fly in/out artists, build a professional studio, and buy a white DMG. Is that serious enough?
not a joke 8bit needs a martyr
guys what if I murder a classroom of kindergartners in the name of chip then will people take us seriously??
Been noticing some things about WAV basses when mixing my latest album. Notes E2 (E3 in earlier versions) are actually in the sub range, and if you have a sine wave, it will be almost inaudible on most systems. An A2 sits right the sweet spot of most bass EQ curves and will sound punishingly loud compared to lower notes.
sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
just wanted to chime in about Vancouver BC with a few points:
- super easy to get to (it's 2-3 hours from Seattle, whether by car or by super-cheap bus)
- great blend of super modern architecture and outdoorsy stuff, take your pick. at times it does feel like a futuristic cityscape.
- no real chip scene here, but there are a few chip/VGM musicians here, but there's not all that much collective desire to perform though, partly because...
- ... people here are known for being somewhat detached. generally, people here don't engage each other nearly as much as in other cities, possibly out of an irrational fear of being assaulted or something. i think that's the reason for what ovenrake said about EDM having fair representation in vancouver (no one will really bother you), whereas smaller eclectic/indie shows are much more on the down-low.
- you know what they say about BC marijuanally, if you're into that sort of thing (i'm personally not but, whatever floats your boat)
I personally would love it if vancouver were more integrated into the NW chipscene somehow. i'm definitely open to doing more shows down in seattle/portland/tacoma next year! and if you guys wanted to do a show up here, i know some folk who are willing to get some of the logistical gears rolling.
Here I am officially saying fuck yeah let's play up in Couver
I'm going to say come to tacoma. quick drive to seattle and a lot cheaper.
plus we have dorkies barcade
I thought it closed??
@Kitsh:
OR/WA have their fair share of high-cost of living areas. If you're into a tight knit community away from the strikingly expensive city, yet still close to those cities, Bellingham, WA is a great place to live, good community (can't speak for the chip scene, if it exists) and good music scene. In OR, Eugene and Hood River provide similar experiences if you drum them up for yourself.
No 8bit scene in Bham
Come on over guys.
okay scott brt
Legalizing weed in the state of Washington will clearly help the indie music community to flourish.
I'm pretty sure the legalization of weed isn't gonna make much a difference in the lives of us indie musicians
