I really would love to see chiptune artists break into electronic musical festivals.

This is absolutely the ultimate goal as far as I'm concerned. I'll go ahead and say fuck the stick-in-the-mud purists who are afraid of growth, change, and the assimilation of chipmusic into the modern dance music community. Chip artists involved in all-encompassing EDM festivals would gain tons of new, not-familiar-with-chip fans for themselves, which would then lead to these new fans discovering more chip artists.

I've been in the middle of this debate numerous times with numerous chip artists who have more of a "conservative" view of the scene.. I understand the argument that this sort of exposure could lead to a "lower quality" of fans in the chip community who care more about having fun and dancing as opposed to appreciating your tracking skills. Whether or not this is true, the existing "true" fans of chip aren't just gonna quit caring about and loving the artists and songs they've always loved.

These chip conservatives also fear that they're going to be "left behind" when these newer artists who have decided to take on EDM aesthetics gain more fans. I don't see how this could be at all true, because I can't imagine that added exposure to one (or a few) good chipmusic artist(s) would be a bad thing for the artists who closely surround and support that/those artist/artists. I think what these artists are truly scared of is looking bad in comparison to these newer artists who take their music more seriously.


I just don't see why we should make it any harder on ourselves to make money for our hard work. Whether or not you want to be in the limelight is up to you, but its really sad in my eyes when I see established artists trying to put down younger, wide-eyed chip artists who are hungry for more than what chip has to offer right now. Really no sense in holding back innovation in my opinion.. maybe I'm just crazy

yeah man if you're gonna have a hardware setup like that, you better use the fuck out of it. I would kill to have all of that shit

Get sick drumloops going, manually shift them throughout. You should never have extended moments of silence (or near silence) in your "set" when you have all of that equipment!! You could have a rad beat going during load times between lsdj saves, and then bring whatever melody (or whatever it is you're using the gameboy for) in on top of the drums... do it perfectly in time (use headphones) and fade it in using your effects processor


Basically, you have all the awesome shit that most of us wish we did.. now you just need to practice a shit ton and get creative with it. Would be cool if it were a bit more on the dancey side as well, but that's only my opinion

"step" these days is referring to the 135-150 bpm range (140 is the standard) when it comes to the "dub" variety.

"Drum""step" is at a dnb pace , typically 170-190 bpm (174-180 being the usual)

yay edm

I would normally come to one of these to be a dick like everyone else.. but I'm in a good mood.

Have an understanding of waveforms.. fuck around a lot with the wave channel.. look at normal lsdj tutorials so you have a good understanding of the tracker, and not just how to make a certain sort of song.. use F commands... fuck around more.

My first year of lsdj was essential comprised of me fucking around with the wave channel until I made sounds I liked.. then you can work off of those. Your lsdj "chipstep" is nothing without a hearty wave channel
