Re: How many "new" chip artists are coming about? (73 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I guess I am new, I have only been making chiptune for 3 months. I started coming to the chipmusic forums about 2 months ago, I have mainly just been lurking.

Well the majority of the answers to your question would "learn how to tracker" with any number of the many free trackers out there, so... there are no shortcuts to success.
You can run LSDJ without a gameboy by using an emulator like bgb. But lsdj is trackerish, so you probably won't want it.
LMMS is a free open-source DAW that has a bunch of chiptune based plugins. That'd probably be the easiest free option for you.
Really, though, trackers are great. HivelyTracker, Klystracker, Deflemask (it can do Gameboy stuff), SlowTracker (lol), MilkyTracker, FamiTracker, Boyscout, p5tracker, Beepola, faust music creator there are so many tracker options.
Oh, also chiptune is not easier to make than any other type of music, so if you are thinking you can "easily make good chiptune" as opposed to any other form of music without any musical knowledge whatsoever then you are in for a shock. If you want to be an artist you have to put in the work and time to do it properly. It took me about 2 hours constant to get used to FamiTracker, and I'm STILL not completely comfortable with everything about it.
Learn to music through (hopefully) talent, hard-work, and self-criticism. Don't post your first "chiptune" online for just anybody to see because it is very likely that it'll be terrible. Show it to somebody close to you whom you trust to be honest with you and hopefully has good taste in music.
