Re: "Post-chip"/"VGM"? (43 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Considering the rest of the post- genres and what they do (post-rock turning more ambient and experimental, post-punk turning more worldly and theory-minded, etc), post-chip would have to define a tendency on the chip scene and break from it... except, which would this convention be?
This is why I oppose the notion of chip as a genre, because the only characteristic you need to be "chip" is to, well, either use chips, emulate chips, or work with near-chip limitations. And while doing so, you can write house, rock, salsa, tarantella, zydeco, whatever.
So no. I posit that "post-chip" can't be a thing because chip ain't a fucking genre. Unless you decide to do a lot of chip compositions based on the genre stylings of any post- genre and call it post-chip... though I'd say it'd be more accurate to call it chip-post.
God, this is so inane. Look what you make me do. This is embarrassing.
Chiptune isn't a genre, it's a philosophy. Post-chip can definitely be a thing because it pulls from the ideas and aesthetics of chipmusic but not always it's process. Music with a limited chip-esque sound pallet made with modern hardware sounds pretty post-chip to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I released this album two weeks ago. It's pretty cool if you're into upbeat LSDJ pop-punk or dance or emotional sounding chiptunes. So yeah, it's like 7 bucks. There's shirts and cassette tapes too, so yeah that's also pretty cool.

I loved your first release when it came out. I was actually wondering quite recently if you were still making music so I cant wait to sit down and listen to this.

I just got done talking to a friend who has one of these that he's willing to sell, and it's pretty much exactly what I need http://www.amazon.com/Lexicon-Alpha-Des 000HVXMNE. Thanks for the help but I think I'm good now.

Anything under $100? The Profire 610 looks perfect but it's a bit more than what I can spend at the moment.
Edit: yes the gameboy has a prosound mod. I shoulda specified that.

Topic: Good audio interfaces for chiptune? (25 replies, posted in Audio Production)
So line-in isn't doing it for me anymore, and I want to get the clearest sound i can get from my gameboy. I bought this http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-UCA222- rol+uca222 because I heard it was good for chiptune, but it's a complete piece of shit. Nothing but whine from that thing. So I'm returning it and want to get something thats actually good. Recommendations?
