define smattering... do you mean the chiptune samples are few and far between or the opposite?
LOL few and far between. They just give the slightest hint that this has something to do with the gameboy. It's not chipmusic.

Re: Playing with the Boy (11 replies, posted in General Discussion)
OK SO GUYS I just received this in the mail.
It's very standard early 90s high-NRG / techno. It has a smattering of chiptune samples. If anything the cover is more interesting than the songs themselves... but overall it's kinda cool if you are a Nintendo Gameboy collector. Nothing to write home about for chiptune enthusiasts. I can try to rip it if you guys really want.

Re: New band needs feedback (5 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
Well the mastering absolutely sucks so it's hard to say... but I think there's a chance.
F.S.U. is OK
Towers & Tunnels is pretty good.
Mentor is way too fast upbeat hai hai puffy ami yumi.
Hands of Lightning sounds like a cheesy classic rock cover.
It sounds like you're dancing between cheesy videogame nostalgia novelty and honest rock music... I would prefer the latter but the point is you have to pick one. I mean, if you pick the former, it has to be really funny and entertaining, otherwise it won't work. The latter gives you a bit more room to show some real emotion. Also it doesn't matter what hardware you use as long as it sounds good... the lo-fi keyboard synths are OK but the game samples sound cheesy most of the time.
This is coming from someone who likes Cheap Dinosaurs, Anamanaguchi, The Depreciation Guild and D&D Sluggers... all worth checking out.

Ah thanks for the reply! I knew it was expensive, that's why it was just to satisfy my curiosity. In the future I would like to have songs of mine released on vinyl, cause I love it. The article is really nice!
I'll make you a deal... if neither of us have had our music released on vinyl by the time we're 50, we'll go halfsies on a split 7"

Just out of curiosity: how can you do a vinyl release? Is it expensive? I don't even know if here have a vinyl factory.
I read a good article about it. IIRC, you should estimate about $1000 for a small batch run of 500 records... that's usually the minimum you can get done. That's 12" records on regular vinyl... the cheaper marble-like "splatter-vinyl" is made from the scraps and while it may look cool, it's much lower quality. Usually on an order like this you will be lucky if you break even, and that's if you can sell them all. So yeah, it's expensive, and not something you do in the hopes of making any money.
also you will probably need to pay for mastering because you shouldn't use the same mastering you would use for CD/digital.

Also, I wonder why II never promotes their artists/releases on Chipmusic and other similar sites.
Maybe because each one is gonna get mentioned on these sites anyway?

I'm much more likely to take a chance on a release by an artist I don't know than to listen to one song each by four or five different artists.
I'm the exact opposite. But it has nothing to do with personal preference. A music upload section offers a great opportunity for developing artists to get feedback on their work. 8bc has been very helpful for me in that regard.

Woah.
I realised this morning it's been ages since I bothered to listen to a full-length chipmusic release, but I'm totally making the exception for this.
What, you didn't listen to that Disasterpeace thing? It's really good.
