like 80% of demoscene music in the last 5 years has been wubwub nonsense so maybe it is just what the culture (everyone is a nerdy white man from northwest europe) and competitive aspect of the scene (must win compo!!) does to musicians, factor in that the sid chip can make like 10 different sounds and you have got a recipe for boring
there is a lot of cool stuff in there if you dig enough though, just like there's some cool music in the current demoscene too

You are all correct in the wrong ways always and never
its hard to see what possible motive a music critic on a music critics website might have for writing a massive piece about why music criticism is super important and vital shit that you have to be really clever to do
bump! happy christmas!
i also like call me maybe
regarding the original question i think the only things ive ever been good at in my life have been things i did a lot and tried hard at and tried to improve at. i also dont think theres ever been a thing in my life where i wasnt pretty shit when i started out *flexes the movie dad bicep*
so by all means give up but what are you going do next and what are you going to do when thats hard too
gotta love "The problem is that it's illegal." from that page
there's this thing called kirnu cream and it's not really very good IMHO, but it's better than other similar stuff i've tried
that sucks man i'm sorry
this topic gives me deja vu!
anyway, hardly anyone is going to have used more than a few audio interfaces so most of us won't have a clue how they stack up against the rest of the competition and i think people will tend to just tell you to get whatever they've got themselves
i'll review the 3 i've owned
m-audio fast track pro
pros:
- lots of inputs/outputs
- midi i/o
- decent-ish price for the features you get
cons:
- crackled a lot
- randomly stopped working one day
- drivers are a massive PITA
- not class compliant
- drivers won't even install with my new laptop
- biggest piece of shit i've ever owned
- massive waste of money
2/10
behringer uca222
pros:
- cheap as chips
- class compliant (no driver issues)
- mostly works
cons:
- the i/o is RCA which i guess is for use with turntables and tape decks and stuff. nothing i use has RCA so i had to use a bunch of adapters. if you have a gameboy with RCA on it like i've seen a few cm.o members using i guess this could be considered a pro rather than a con
- sometimes has weird inexplicable crackling or just flat out refuses to work, often these things seem to just resolve themselves
7/10
zoom h2
pros:
- built in high quality microphone (good for skype 
)
- class compliant (no driver issues)
- just works
- uses 3.5mm TRS jacks (headphone style) like everything else i own
- can record onto an SD card without using the PC at all
- portable
cons:
- quite expensive if you aren't going to use the microphone or the SD card recording
- headphone jack can be a little bit noisy
9/10
interesting! the music is kind of cool unlike jandek who is unlistenable (and i have a merzbow cd)
it reminds me of a friend's attempts to track down elusive french composers roger renaud and ted scotto

"He started out producing on mobile phone ringtones, then moving on to Mario Paint, Game Boy Camera,"
always knew this guy was cool
I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for this policy.
well i don't really know either but there was a chiptunes website before this one that was popular and the guy who ran it dropped out of university to turn it into a company and then started doing wild and desperate things to keep the money coming in that hurt the community and made everyone come here instead and it was a bad and not fun time in internet chiptunes land so maybe it is something to do with that
yes how else will they fund the Chipmusic LLC office & Chipmusic LLC telephone hotline
