Am I the only one who finds "leave your home and go to a gig" crass because the OP specifically asked about the internet?

personally i find the "why not <do cool thing> instead of talking about it in this thread you lame nerds" kind of crass in general. theres enough time to do both, posting about how youre too cool to post takes as much time as regular posting

its nice that you had fun at the gigs, guys. im happy for you

we can talk about like. david guetta using square waves and stuff. but... i haven't made any lasting friendships from chipmusic.org. you might say that is due to my terrible and unloveable personality but BACK IN THE DAY i made a bunch of great friends by pretending to know about the atari demoscene and now it just doesn't work anymore. do i have to "go to gigs" to make friends? i for one resent The Growing Up of The Scene even if it does mean the people you blast your noise channel skronks at are in merzbow tshirts rather than megaman ones these days

seriously miss the 8bc tbh

the music side of this site at least is so much less active than 8bc was and that is sad for sure

i am not really sure what you are trying to do but tempo and ticks per row are definitely separate in a tracker - it is not true they are the same thing. in impulse tracker tempo is Txx and speed is Axx. in fasttracker 2 and mod i believe they are both Fxx with xx below a certain value (0x20?) controlling speed and above it controlling tempo. you do have control of both there too though

however the final actual tempo is a product of both so i guess you are right that if you want to change ticks per row without changing the final tempo you will have to recalculate the internal tempo

actual tempo = "tempo" * (6 / "speed").

unless you really care about what your final bpm is i don't think it matters a whole amount in practise

i just whack a column full of A08, A04, A08, A04 which averages out at 6 and so the tempo is correct -

impulse tracker also has S6x which is kind of like SDx on all channels simultaenously - delays the whole pattern for x rows (but doesn't catch back up like SDx does). combined with temporary speed changes you can wonk things up a bit this way too

in return for what, though? i didn't get anything in return for the 500+ unreleased tracks i have lying around that i made for the hell of it. the drawings / radio shows is a cute idea though. or having a character in the game named after you. or whatever. maybe we could ~ask~ for this kind of gesture instead of yelping "nospec" next time someone wants to help us find an outlet for our fun and enjoyable hobby

gotta say love is right. the chipscene has kind of plucked this idea of "spec work" from the design world and im not sure it really applies to most of us. for like 99% of chiptuners this isn't actually "work" at all. most of us probably write about 45 seconds of music a day, most of us probably write 45 seconds of "upbeat" chiptunes a week, and enjoy doing it. ya my song was a joke but love's wasnt that bad and if it makes it into the game thats a win-win for both of them right? why you all gotta be so capitalist about it? writing a chiptune and making a corporate logo are happily not the same thing

i dunno if anyone has said this and i guess its pretty much a non starter but i would really like to be able to control it using a normal keyboard control scheme like a normal tracker

take that as a compliment it means i think your tracker has enough cool features i would actually use it on a pc for fun
